Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

who's ready to become the joker!!!

I’m sure the other candidates are awful but this is a relief.

This is misleading, everyone knows there's heavy overlap between when landline pollsters call and the time court dates for shooting your ex-boyfriend's dog are scheduled

Really struck by the kind of Labourite who's correctly identified Labour faces media headwinds Tories don't, but whose plan for that, even now that they're in govt with 400 seats, is to just kind of wallow in self-pity about it

Sadism as political philosophy

Avatar but instead of unobtainium they just need the blue people’s planet for server space for Grok.

It's just occurred to me that this is twitter-brained but in a totally different way to the Tories twitter derangement. 'The problem with the housing market is NIMBY councillors' + picture of Layla Moran is twitter orthodoxy and it feels like Labour's housing target just took it as read

got inspired

Can’t help but feel that the UK has a very poor immune system for this sort of thing, in large part because people here see racism as something you are rather than something you do. To be racist you have to be, like, a ridiculous cartoon caricature or literally Hitler or something.

This is actually the most pathetic government of my lifetime? They are ADDICTED to saying 'a big boy made me do it' about everything

Honestly what compromising material do the remastering people have on the commissioning departments at streaming companies to keep getting work on pointless, pointless remasters?

I named my fists Vladimir and Estragon. (They do not move.)

love this feature of the human brain that sometimes, for no obvious reason, makes you wake up and feel about as calm as a warren-less rabbit on an open field with eagles flying overhead

I’m convinced this nightmarish episode is happening because Hegseth is essentially cosplaying the TV version of a national security official. In that vein wanted his very own Situation Room scenario, like the Bin Laden strike, and so they cast dozens of poor dudes in unarmed boats as the terrorists.

It's also because he enjoys watching non-white people die, because he's a blood-and-soil racist.

A good meme to send people who are convinced we live in a computer simulation.

And he wants to turn it into the “encyclopaedia Galactica“

To be fair, Grok would kill every Jewish person on the planet just for funsies. It doesn't need a reason.

I’ve seen a number of people sharing this story with the comment, why didn’t he tell Stoppard, and I think the answer is probably “because people either don’t think to or think there will always be time to.” If someone has done something you admire, tell them.

You start to see why these scum are so comfortable with Putin's Russia.

To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

Oh, I *will* be using this as a reaction image for people in my mentions

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

*two days layer* “32% of Brits agree that not everything needs to be a poll, in new poll”

Not everything needs to be a poll

I found this interview fascinating because the author clearly wants to be sympathetic, and that makes the unavoidable conclusions far more damning than an outright attempt to damn him would be.

My kingdom for an opposition party willing to ostentatiously lose on an issue to draw attention to it.

🎵Cancel the Sandy Clause

"Y'all are fucking crazy to be defending Ms. Rachel" sounds like a joke tweet in the voice of Blippy Twitter

I wrote much of this several months ago, about Ezra Klein's response to the Kirk assassination, and then never ended up publishing it, but I think this UO "controversy" is a such a perfect example of how TPUSA et al actually advance conservative power that I decided to revive and rewrite it.

I always forget Robert Duval is in To Kill a Mockingbird

democratic messaging bills are always like “the Reduce Carbon Emissions Act” and republican messaging bills are always like “a bill to replace various Census racial categories with ‘bears the Mark of Cain’”

Can I say something?

One of the best online bits.

Mia Goth says she had to audition and accept her role in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ before reading the script "I said 'yup, I'm in'" Her go-to hype song for auditions in the past was Eminem’s 'Lose Yourself' (via Happy Sad Confused)

Waiting for Yglesias to post that dems should support this

Hopkins is a good choice because he has the ability to elevate even the most ridiculous movie with his skill.

I think this is right on the OU paper debacle

This is, in its own way, one of the most miserable things I’ve ever seen.

Steve Buscemi, I guess? Or Ted Danson?

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

If you need me I’ll be in the master roksin

Trump right now.
