You know what? Law Roach is way too suddenly omnipresent for someone who feels like he'd have been completely on board with all of the America's Next Top Model insanity they just had to make that documentary about.

Called in sick for work this morning. Just got a text from the boss saying "don't worry, I'll sort someone to cover". Oh trust me, I wasn't worried. At all. Rostering isn't my job. I'm more concerned the shift started 3.5 hours ago and you're just now getting around to it.

It would fit perfectly at MONA.

The SNL monologue clip with the hockey medallists got reskeeted into my feed. It's just nice we now have a high profile example in the media of what undiagnosed CTE looks like.

I was wondering how long it would take Red, White, and Royal Blue to make a "royal box" joke, and: 180 pages, apparently. Kinda impressive it took so long.

Okay I feel like this is going to come up a lot in the next 24 hours so let's just clear this up: Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader allegedly killed today, is/was *not* the same person as Ayatollah Khomeini, the supreme leader who came to power in the 1979 revolution.

It's not even 8am on Sunday morning and I'm already having A Motherfucking DAY. Send vodka and hugs.

Only off by 203 years, which is more accurate than usual for the NYT.

Oh, so they can expel groups now? And they're still letting NSW Police March after, y'know...? Interesting. #sydneymardigras

You can tell Heated Rivalry is a work of fiction not because of the insane story, not because of the lack of homophobia, not because of anything to do with the hockey, but because they were able to find Third Places to use so frequently.

Just what the world needed, LESS accurate fast food orders.

The ABC should change it back just to fuck with them.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

The only employee at my work aside from the CEO who isn't considering quitting at the moment.

This is "even Keir Starmer is fucking panicking in his gilded office" language. Wonderful.

Question: When you're watching/reading something with a fake monarch, President, etc of a real country, when do you assume it broke from "our" timeline? Immediately before the fake one? A while ago? From the start? (I just started Red White and Royal Blue and one of the Obama kids is namedropped.)

Flavor Flav, but it's pronounced in Jerry Lewis's voice.

I haven't followed Drag Race live for over a decade, buuuut I just heard what this week's UK vs the World lip sync was and holy shit more reality TV shows should aspire to that level of batshit insanity.

Look, you can make your little digs about Dutch or Welsh or French being fake languages made up entirely to troll tourists, but also, Norwegians apparently pronounce their capital city "Ooshloo" even though it's spelled the same as in English so who's the real joke here?

So close!! That is a theatre 💕

I'm firmly in the "suck it up, metaphorically and literally" camp when it comes to the paper straws debate, but holy shit the Japanese place I just bought katsu curry from gave me a paper spoon and there is no god. (Yes, yes, I know, chopsticks. This is for the saucy rice bit.)

Sign of the year, and it's only February. (...Jesus Christ, it's still only February?!)

People acting like the US men's hockey team being right-wing assholes is a surprise, when the last time the US had the Winter Olympics the entire 1980 men's hockey team was picked to light the cauldron by *checks card* Mitt Romney.

Mood for when you want to ask a legitimate question about The Discourse Of The Day but you can't find a way to phrase it that doesn't sound like you're joining a pile-on even though that's the last thing you want to do.

Your outdated music references rock me, Amadeus.

We're all so old.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Jortses

This never would have happened if Scott Hunter wasn't 100,000 years old.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist. Fuck, I'm doomed.

Well, he won't be hosting Australian Survivor for very long. Ooof.

Odd little thing: the King and new PM of the Netherlands are both in relationships with people born in Buenos Aires.

Just thinking how a couple of years ago I refused to use unsafe equipment and cross-contaminate food at work, and ended up in BS meetings with my boss and two HR people trying to gaslight me into backing down. Anyway, out of the four of us, I'm now the only one left. Stubborn righteousness ftw ♥️

If you're looking for some good news, Australia has now finished higher than Great Britain on the medal tally at five of the last seven Winter Olympicses. Maybe it's something to do with continuing to act like Torvill and Dean are the only winter athletes worth caring about, IDK.

Just got told the negligently unfit for purpose coffee machine we got given as a temporary replacement on Friday is now staying. Countdown to first degree burns begins now.

It's funny how it's always "actors who aren't out publicly should never be allowed to play queer roles" and never "actors who haven't committed mass murder should never be allowed to play serial killers".

Look, I don't want to say some places lose a lot of their mystique when you look at them on Google, buuuuuuuuuut:

It really is surprising how many of you I consider friends when I am spectacularly bad at making a first impression IRL. Like, "projectile vomited into the side of a bin in Sydney's gayborhood" is somehow one of the BETTER examples of first meetings I've had with people from here.

Met a Russian hockey player at work today. I'll let you know in seven years.

Broke: We need to add more sports to the Olympics. Woke: We need to get rid of the sports nobody cares about at the Olympics. Bespoke: We need to get rid of swimming and athletics at the Olympics, and welcome our new benevolent judoka overlords.

I would do this but my work's entire HR department has quit in the last three weeks, so...

Gotta be honest, it's way more fun to be all "see what civilised countries are capable of, America?" when the country in question isn't the FUCKING United Kingdom of all places.

Is this just going to be a constant thing now? Discord's made me do this three times the last couple of weeks. I'm comfortably in my fucking mid-30s.

Mood for when you're too neurodivergent to make a quick decision about what to read next so you post a photo to Bluesky and ask your followers to help, and related purposes. (I watched and liked Invisible Boys but have not seen RW&RB, if that makes a difference.)

You don't realise just HOW heterosexual your best friend is until you're having lunch and you have to explain a joke about her salad having so much dressing it looks like it was involved in a bukkake.

GOLD MEDAL FOR THE GOOD BOI OR WE RIOT.

Can't. Walking 500 miles, and then walking 500 more.

New Clippy cover of You Oughta Know kinda sucks.
