Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

TIL that in the UK there’s a “Mexican” food chain founded by a white British lady named Thomasina. I’d like you all to guess what the name of said chain is. Do not spoil it if you know.

The 1998 Godzilla movie had a scene where a helicopter was being chased through the city, flying level right at the monster’s eye level as it walked behind it on the ground.

Reducing - and enforcing - speed limits for ALL vehicles to 30km/hr in urban areas & cameras to detect cars breaking traffic lights would save scores of lives annually, but it might annoy some motorists so instead we get this performative BS from gov’t.

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

It's like when a dad wins a giant stuffed animal at the fair for his toddler. The kid feels like a superstar walking around dragging that huge bear behind him for the rest of the day, but everyone who sees him knows that two-year-old didn't toss those darts at the balloons himself.

Whatever spin you may hear from politicians, there are only two actual positions on healthcare. “Universal healthcare that covers everybody,” or “we must protect the huge industry of insurance middlemen making money off of it.”

Anyone else notice that when the Irish press is reporting on someone, often a cyclist or pedestrian, being killed by a car driver, the default stock image is a Garda sign saying the road is closed (to cars)?

The significance here isn't that the Pope is groovy or progressive, but rather that the Pope sets the standard for mainstream conservative thought. Which is to say: if you are more right wing than the Pope, you are really very extreme.
