Trump explaining to a Swiss audience that “if it wasn’t for us in world war 2 you’d all be speaking German” is incredible comedy. Like vintage Norm MacDonald.

Reminded of this classic bit from Jim Downey

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

A little bit annoyed with myself that I took this long to get round to reading Rebecca. A masterpiece.

The world at War any time Mr Manson couldn’t be arsed with a lesson plan.

It's rare to find a political think piece these days that's above the level of howling mad, but this is a bullseye on what's gone wrong with centrists and their appeasement of the far right

After a few years away I'd forgotten that paying for electric and gas here is, at best, a confusing mess. Quotes, tarriffs, direct debits - how about you just send me a bill each month for what I've used and I'll pay that?

I don’t know what’s wrong with people who still use X. You’re getting your breaking news and sports chat from a Nazi site. Draw a line

Very exciting. I can’t wait to see this.

Absolutely incredible that receipts from British Airways don't include the price you paid, and to get a actual receipt you have to fill in a form and wait up to 28 days to get it 🙈

If they’re not selling a cocktail shaker maker then what are they even doing?

lol

I think he’s in trouble if that goes to VAR.

I once served Jim Rosenthal and his wife at Sunday lunch. Lovely man.

An American tourist has just walked into the chipper and asked where the nearest fish and chip shop is. There’s a neon sign in the window that says “fish and chips” and an 8ft long wooden sculpture of a fish above the counter.

YouTube’s algorithm is really quite insistent that I see a fat Turkish guy stealing huge doners from a kebab shop.

I have never loved @matt-levine.bsky.social more than right now.

sort of fascinating that Trump clearly has that Boris-like power over people, idiot after idiot going "ah sure he's betrayed everyone ever but if I help him he'll never betray me, I just know it 🙂"

It’s a real problem that bad ideas are outpacing good ones simply because they generate more clicks on the internet.

How long can he continue to get away with over promising and under delivering?

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

It’s hard not to see and hear Bogart anytime you’re reading Raymond Chandler.

Jaws: the Revenge is just starting on ITV if you want to see the film that Michael Caine said this about: "I have never seen the film, but by all accounts it was terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific".

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Football, eh? Bloody hell. 🥳

I’m not a celebrated political strategist - unlike another Irishman of a similar vintage living in the U.K. - but to putting your weakest position (immigration) front and centre of almost every media intervention and major policy announcement seems like political madness.
