Kool: We need a song. The Gang: Ideas? Robert Bell: How about "Jungle Boogie, Jungle Boogie, Jungle Boogie, Jungle boogie. Get down, get down; get down, get down; get down, get down; get down get down." Kool: That's the chorus? Bell: That's the whole song! The Gang: Yeah! Billboard chart: #17, 1974

One year there was an issue with the Chromebook licenses at our kid’s school, so the teachers had to start the school year NOT having the kids work on laptops, and—shocking, I know—the students learned a ton, said they preferred “hands on”/analog teaching, and asked for more laptop-free lessons.

worrying book I saw in Scotland that sounds like a confession I do not want to read

They call this the All Terrain Telescopic Platform and even abbreviate it to ATTP and yet they don't get someone in Imperial Stormtrooper armour to model it? www.henchman.co.uk/products/all...

Dank Carnival the new lp from Marc Laidlaw has dropped. Highly recommended, free to hear on soundcloud for now. Takes a min for the first song to really get rolling. It's kind of like super dark sense of humor 90s

The bees have discovered Brutalism

What's the difference between hurricanes, ex-hurricanes and other types of low pressure that occur in the Atlantic or around the world? And why is it so unlikely for a hurricane to hit the UK? Find out with Aidan 👇

Things only a comedian/producer would post: I AM LOOKING FOR A TRUMPETER IN BRISTOL AVAILABLE THIS WEEK. Long shot, but let me know. I will not block joke answers as some people do but I also won't laugh at them. I *might* roll my eyes indulgently.

definitely a 🧵 of interest

Ah, so, the billionaire who lives in a castle thinks the woman who worked for the UN as Goodwill Ambassador is “cushioned by wealth and fame.” Mm hm, mm hm.

My graphic novel-length Rogue story is just heating up—grab the first two installments on the 2000AD app and then hit the newsstands for this episode!

For anyone worrying needlessly, yes, "Primitive War" kicks off with CCR's "Fortunate Son". You can relax.

Oh finally! A tough home secretary, we've never tried having a vicious, cruel home secretary before.

It's really reached the point where you can be confident of the dude's politics (and how public he was about them) almost precisely based on how much 'caution' the authorities are exercising in making them known to the public.

I feel rule number one of polticial comms is not to repeat the allegation that’s been made against you in a quote …

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Sainsburys full of parents doing a big shop with the kids they're dropping off at uni, buying them the last vegetable they're going to eat for the next three years.

Keir Starmer asks people to fight back against reform... yeah, we've been doing it for the last year mate while you've been enacting their policies.

Carl Benz has an idea

terrific

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint. I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

Someone on the Edinburgh subreddit is asking for a good Sunday roast, so I said it was just a crap Saturday

The comments here are an amazing study in 'people who mistake someone doing a topical gag for a "what if we repeated the same joke, but in a way that's worse" workshopping event, with a breakout "explaining flaws in the logistics of the joke like it's a real thing" group'

We are in this absurd situation because there is now a broad consensus amongst the mainstream political parties that around 30% of British voters must on no account have their precious fee-fees hurt or told a few home truths about the lies and hatred they've swallowed over the years.

Looking at cots online, and I'm sorry, this is a bin.

Roland Emmerich originally wanted to make 2 Independence Day sequels. "We'll only do the first part, because we want to have the audience decide if they want to see the second, otherwise it feels arrogant? But I'm pretty confident, with the right script..." (Empire Magazine, 2013)

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

I think today could use more cowbell.

Just remembered one of my favorite diverse filmography facts: Ronald Lacey, who played Toht in Raiders (the Nazi who gets his face melted), was also the Baby Eating Bishop Of Bath And Wells in Blackadder.

Weather in the Lakes back to doing weather in the Lakes 🌧️, but the pub has copious big brolly covered tables outside so I'm still soaking in the atmos while I can. 🍺☔

Me after reading the headline: I bet they were trying to unionize. The article: They were trying to unionize.

Everything about this story opened up for me when I realized it had to begin with White Tiger serenading a bodega cat.

added more Hasslefree, Heresy, DarkAge, some Reaper, Frothers Limited Editions, more to come...

one for the #Nerdlings any idea on a manufacturer for this chunky war frame?

Completely normal country where I wake up every day and see some polling asking people whether or not I should be allowed to live here and and exactly how much of a scourge to society I am. Very cool. I feel great, actually.

No Merlin, you didn’t hear a coot in West Norwood cemetery, you gormless blatherskite. Have a sit-down and a cup of tea and try again later.

I’m not It isn’t. It should be, but you’re working very hard to ensure it isn’t.

I do think the hotel I'm staying at could have come with a warning, do not under any circumstances expect to get any sleep before midnight on Friday as we have very bad, bloody loud, karaoke happening. Won't be booking there again. 🫩
