I hope Labour realise that when a certain pop singer dies and allegations everyone knew about come tumbling out in the wash, this whole thing is going to blow up in their faces again when the press are reminded about an ex-PM taking free holidays at his island mansion.

Didnt clock the song right away so enjoy what my brain did instead: That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Eating my fajitas

Trying to balance infinity tasks on way too little sleep and I'm being bogged down by the invasive thought of a version of Robyn's "Dancing on My Own" where the narrator is eating dinner in the club and offering it to the people who are the subject of the song

Once again, as someone who only cautiously checks Reddit, it is actually sometimes good

Really cool that while we have a national panic about teenagers on phone too much, phone is also causing pensioners to build car bombs www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Guy outside my apartment is wearing a purple hoodie and a shiny black puffer coat and is unintentionally recreating the Crystal Castles album cover. He even has the acid-washed jeans. It looks cool as shit if I’m being real. He’s like 45 and has a dog that looks like it kills people

I'm not saying Reddit is good but you do sometimes encounter screenshots like this

I wish this chatbot on chess.com had a different line of dialogue for when it starts to lose

when I was a teenager I swam for a USA Swimming feeder club and had an insane schedule. Like 27-30 hours per week of training in addition to high school. One morning I just had a breakdown and kept driving around in circles until school started. You cannot sustain this indefinitely without damage

@inthesedeserts.bsky.social midwestern heckling supremacy

done woke my kid up laughing loud as hell again

i designed a t-shirt to let people know about my dream of a beautiful perfect world of horse roryblank.bigcartel.com

more like you're getting your shit rocked by people who'd rather be coaching youth basketball, and you should be relieved that they just want to protect their neighbors. If this was actually an insurgency there would be about a thousand new ICE Erika Kirks every week

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

I've been thinking about this sign nonstop since I saw it the other day

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

thinking about Mr. Rogers "look for the helpers" quote and I see the helpers and the helpers are being shot in the fucking head

I.... have terrible news for you about a country called the United Kingdom

When you clean out the hive / Does it make you wanna cry? / Are you still being followed / By the British FBI?

That's what this song is about actually

Imagining what it was like to hear Rapper's Delight for the first time, since it's both a breakthrough of a new genre AND a song about things such as "there's this thing called rapping and I'm doing it," "Superman is probably gay," "my friend's mom is so bad at cooking that it gave me diarrhea"

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

if we abolish the gestapo who will do the important work of the gestapo

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

you: punk rock is inherently progressive, ant-racist, anti-homophobic, woke every first wave punk band:

I don't know if becoming a parent rewires your brain, but in my case there was an immediate certainty that I'd do anything to protect my kid no matter what then happened to me personally. I think a lot of parents feel this way. And seeing stuff like this done deliberately activates that same feeling

I'm sure there's going to be some MAGA commentary about "libs owned when Trump still alive" but that misses the point. We're just stretching and getting limber. Every breaking news update that even marginally hints at Trump dying of natural causes is an affirmation of the human spirit. We have faith

I love this picture so much. One big wet brain cell driving this magazine since 2016 and it's shaped like a pastel de nata. I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my general impression is that the EU and its citizens are absolutely thrilled to be rid of the Brits for good. Delighted, even

Meanwhile in Geneva I just see infinity crypto startups and ads for Swiss watches that say "welcome to the freak nation." Why can't I have what they have in Lausanne

he's not wrong

"ℹ️✝️"

Every time there’s slightly irregular news from the White House.

Shouts out to albums or singles that aren't good but have great artwork. For example

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

bear in woods seems to be defecating

The previous tenants paid to install a full-size dishwasher in our apartment and we bought it off them when we moved in. now I'm basically mumbling "man I love my appliances so much" like I'm the protagonist of a Black Flag song and I'm not ashamed of this at all. No longer captive to Big Sponge

reading Céline for the purposes of an LLBD episode and, while I realize that this isn't 100% literally what's being said, it's very funny to imagine « on est nous les mignons du Roi Misère » as "we are destitution's palace twinks." It's a bit interpretive but it's also not miles off

very few people have done more to bring us this moment -- and specifically jd vance himself -- than david frum

I have been scooped! The very exciting news is that my first novel, Prestige Drama, is preened and prepped and will be coming out in May. I'm biased but I think it's really good and you should buy it. www.thebookseller.com/rights/fleet...

I think this article does a good job of explaining how unpopular an idea this is and all the reasons why it's unlikely to happen. But if they did actually go for it and cancel US citizenship, instead of it costing $10k+ to renounce, I'd fucking volunteer. call me British Nate from now on, it's cool

Look at this absolute queen

I have no idea what she was pointing at but it sort of makes this picture

I have translated about 12k words of this so far and I think the best way to describe this novel, and it's a good novel imo, is that it's somewhere in the overlap of three Venn diagram circles that read "WKW's 'Happy Together'" / "André Aciman's 'Call Me By Your Name'" / "Godard's 'Breathless'"

I am at times too tired to speak in French with my 2-year-old daughter who speaks French 99% of the time and this has led to some abominable hybrid sentences such as "okay I'll couche-moi but you have to couche-toi too"
