It appears that I've been going round thinking American Gothic was by Norman Rockwell, but it turns out it was by some guy called Grant Wood

Is it also just nostalgia when we say that things got a lot worse after David Bowie died or is that one actually true

Been in a bad mood ever since I was reminded about Hey Soul Sister by Train this morning

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

A man has been found guilty of writing a stream of consciousness novel. He is about to start a 4 year sentence.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Further to this, it is disappointing that most of the news coverage of the $1bn threat letter did not critically engage with its content. Instead, most coverage accepted the content of the letter at face value.

It occurred to me that Chiwetel Ejiofor might be a good Bond because he's British and I remember being impressed by his gun-handling in Children of Men, so I checked his odds and apparently you can get 66-1 for him; probably about right

Defacing the Rothko was bad, but eating the gaffer-taped banana was good. Why? Is it because bananas are yellow

When you need an example of a really disjunctive definition for your paper, remember this one:

Yellowism doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but it does have a manifesto www.thisisyellowism.com

Why are we still digging fossil fuels out of the ground when we've got loads of fossils just sitting there in the Natural History Museum

Reading is not performative! Some of us simply enjoy books without any self-consciousness at all. Now, let me outline for you the books that shaped my childhood. I must begin with Aristophanes, of course, but *which* Aristophanes?...

Saw this one out of the context on the TL and thought it was about comedians whose brand is having been cancelled for problematic sets they did years ago

"that doesn’t necessarily mean the Epstein files will be released, as the bill would still have to pass the Senate and be signed into law by President Donald Trump" well OK then

so now we're maybe going to ask every student about their homework answers during our oral exams, which i guess is fine.

Unreal!

I get that if you like reading then the articles hyping a performative reading trend come over as wildly offensive but they're just journalists trying to make a living and we mustn't let them upset us

When politicians use the term "working people" do retired people see the politicians as including them in that

"Don't talk to me about sapiosexuality unless you're literally Alcibiades drunkenly serenading Socrates"

I always enjoy the genre of "sapiosexual" imagery (the search for these was "sapiosexual photo") wherein, like, look, maybe the people photod happen to be smart too, but that is *not* why they are attractive there. To really lean in to the concept it should be, like, Sartre and Socrates etc.

Around ten years ago Marijn Heule, Oliver Kullmann and Victor Marek proved that if you 2-colour the positive integers from 1 to 7825, then you must be able to find x, y and z all of the same colour with x^2+y^2=z^2 -- that is, a monochromatic Pythagorean triple. 1/

The Constitution says a senator must be at least 30 years old, so I can't understand how we have all these senators who were born yesterday.
