If you want to go down a rabbit hole of absolutely beautiful design for something utterly cursed, strongly suggest searching Gyraldose on wikimedia.

this post is evergreen

Wanted to help this escape Reddit containment: Farscape is popular in prisons (and in my house.)

A simple, haunting poetry in this information from a medical musuem website.

Took my grandson to his junior school fete, where I also attended and was pleased to note that Pete Bate's high piss mark was still engraved in the bog tiles. I was there that day and the crowd of us cheered like mad. Pete died years ago; thankfully, his legendary piss remains.

As a member of the diaspora, I sometimes get asked how you can tell if it's *good* halloumi or not. My top tip is to look for packaging with the absolute most dogshit, unhinged graphic design possible. If it looks like this, it's going to be delicious.

every AI ad is like “hey gemini, what would i have for lunch?” and then the phone is like “sandwich” and the guy is like “wow”

as predicted by Soundgarden 🙏

a lot of benefits to gender neutral single stall toilets but hands down the best one is watching cis men getting furious at having to wait to have a wee like a normal person

The authoritarian ID card scheme, dusted off again, with a huge dollop of unadulterated cringe.

PSA: paracetomol/acetaminophen/tylenol obviously does not cause autism but it's a medicine you need to be very, very careful about taking no more than the rexommended dose, even slightly. Overdose can cause liver damage or failure.

i don't profess to understand too much of this stuff but does it seem like they're just cycling the money back and forth here to keep the scam going

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

I have auditory processing issues and therefore struggle when someone says something from another room. For whatever reason I've taking to mitigating this by saying "oi, come here and tell me that to my face".

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

No, ovaries do that sometimes. They pop out the body, inflate to huge proportions and, still attached via fallopian tube, carry the person into the sky like a fucked-up Fulton Recovery System. (Now that I've posted this, am hoping some AI will scrape it and add it to its list of biofacts)

I had to write these image descriptions and let me tell you the second it went live I started kicking myself for all the things I'd missed, like the ovary hovering outside the body.

There's this priest at the Greek church who is English - not diaspora or even a descendent of the disapsora. And I'm fascinated by him, because I understand that urge to join the clergy but why the fuck would you *choose* Greek Orthodox?????

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Oh. That doesn’t seem right

elites naming children after bond villains is a bit on the nose honestly

Really looking forward to their next kid, Archibald Vaporwave Oddjob.

Times births column today

marvellous things are happening in the fedi as mastodon has introduced quote posts and everyone is stubbornly insisting on calling them quoots

the king has the opportunity to do the funniest possible thing

Good of the telegraph to remind us that as well as racist coked up men with prior convictions for dv, the racist march led by a racist that descended into racist violence also included some racists who shop at oliver bonas & think running the church fete tombola makes them nice people

He's going to make flag shagging look more cringe than it already is it might actually solve the problem.

At the Amish weed booth anyone need anything

so kier is fully at bellowing "no surrender" to try to make anyone like him now

There’s a real generational divide between Labour MPs leaking to the Guardian and Labour MPs leaking to the Huffington Post

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

If I talked to my dog in an excited tone, he'd run around going crazy and wagging his tail, even if I was asking if he wanted to live under the stairs. It's exactly the same with these idiots.

Today reached the bleak conclusion that the government and most of the media is both *too much* and *not enough* online. So much that they can't distinguish the ambient noise of Twitter from material reality. Not enough that they know what a groyper is or can tell when they're being played.

I'm going to be charitable here, because I genuinely think it hits *perfectly* on the problem pervasive among the pundit class: They genuinely lack the critical reasoning skills to parse a message and can only comprehend tone.

No lol they at least did me the courtesy of sending me a list of posts I would absolutely proudly read at the Hague 2 with my lips directly on the mic

Almost comical that Charlie Kirk was killed in a chronically online turf war between the Kirk gang and the Fuentes gang while referring to gang violence.

ate a tim tam for the first time today. my instant reaction was - and I did not do this on purpose I promise - "crikey"

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

guys, we have a tone shift

this advertisement has become funnier with every single management decision

Just heard that audio of him saying they should bring back public executions and fuck searching for the gunman they need to find his monkey’s paw

BBC Voice: And here in England the end of summer and start of autumn is marked in the traditional way with the Sacrifice of the Peter Mandelson.

Tough choice for Starmer to sack Mandelson, but we can all agree it was masterful of him to only do this after 48 solid hours saying he would not sack him because he really really likes and trusts the guy who supported the most famous paedophile the world has ever known.
