Watching Stand by Me. My favourite trope in Stephen King media is the way that bullies are just insanely violent sociopaths for no reason

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die. He was unable to. He still walks among us, cursed to remember in a world where everyone has forgotten. He’s out there now, just beyond the light your lantern throws,

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

If you had come to me twenty years ago and said “in 2025 Russell Brand will be a far-right pundit spreading antisemitic conspiracies and accused of multiple rapes” I would have said “seems entirely plausible, how about those future cars, are they cool?”

it's genuinely hilarious how mid-tier Canadian news is practice

I’m sorry to say this and, good Lord, I hope I am wrong, but I cannot imagine this wicked government will do anything other than let the hunger strikers die. Starmer worships Thatcher and wants to emulate her. And for him, Israel is worth more than the lives of any number of British people.

Cannot believe how funny this whole cbs news thing is, their dumbass editor accidentally published a draft but in the most hilarious way

I've always loved this illustration depicting Joseph and Mary looking for a room. I am finding it especially powerful this year

Galway City Council: 'We cannot implement congestion charging unilaterally, because if we do, people will just drive to Limerick or Athlone.' (That's an actual quote. Check out @GTU_Galway on Xitter.)

This is a man named Baz, I'm sorry he just is

A Rosetta Stone for understanding this administration is that they are all out of their minds on drugs

“.. They are prepositioning forces to take action. .. The question that remains is to accomplish what?” he said. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Belfast tonight.

there are people happy that the government is posting snuff films of venezualan fishermen being drone striked. giving them more social services is not gonna heal the rot in their soul. fundamentally misunderstands human beings and the US right. I have no more patience for this pollyannaish bullshit

there is a lot of value in mapping out epstein's entire network of rapist associates, but it's kinda painful how much we have *always* known trump is a pedo rapist and all of the discourse about him is just fishing for some kind of special signifier that makes it ok for powerful people to say it now

like, "trump bought a teen pageant so he could creep on girls in the dressing room" is an established thing he just said on the radio but all the fancy people are like, "i'll pretend i don't know that," because they live in an epistemic bubble where no one's *really* a rapist til they're cast out

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

Avatar The Last Airbender was really just bottled lightning where you had some of the most talented animators of the 90s working with the best upcoming animators and writers of the 2000s given relatively free reign by a Nickelodeon at the height of its Nicktoons powers and it’s hard to recreate that

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

Bunch of R&D guys praying they can just stall 3 years before being given permission to cancel the project and just take lessons learned into something actually useful.

Sure, why not. Thomas Jane is a very good actor, loved him as Miller on the Expanse, he’ll probably do a good McCoy for the like one or two episodes he’s in.

this is postmarked 3 aug 2019. Epstein died on 10 aug 2019. sure is wild that right before he died epstein was like "YES LET ME PUT ALL THIS STUFF INCRIMINATING THE PRESIDENT IN WRITING AND SEND IT TO OTHER KNOWN PEDOPHILES". nothing suspicious about his death or anything to derive from that

Apparently Trump bought Epstein's plane for his campaign? This can't be legit, right? No one would be that stupid.

Would go so far as to say that "bizarre contrarian dilettantism" is the Atlantic's whole brand at this point

It’s kinda funny that because the video games industry is so fundamentally broken that every single major 2026 release is going to keep getting delayed until the only game we can play is just Tetris

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

Once again the "press" failing the most simple test. If you can replace 'President' or 'Trump' with 'Local Idiot' and the headline still works maybe don't write the piece Local Idiot Says Construction of Boats With Lasers And Railguns To Begin Immediately See?

The MCU had 6+ years to develop precisely one (1) new character worthwhile enough to lead off the buzz for the next Avengers and NOPE.

What the fuck happened to the BBC?

My Grandfather spent his career as a civil engineer for Sligo County Council. During his final years he suffered from dementia and would often get confused. He would get ideas stuck in his head that he had a major project he had to get finalised and he had to get to his office right away

The fate of the SS United States makes me deeply sad but she does look glorious back at sea.

The real secret sauce of the Muppet Christmas Carol is Paul Williams Lyrics and songwriting youtu.be/jHq-d0x3LOs?...

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

Flight records show Trump "traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)," an assistant US attorney from the Southern District of New York wrote in an email dated January 8, 2020.

I look out my Dublin window onto the terrible and beautiful Atlantic Ocean, chewing on my taco and hoping the cilantro blight won’t force my children into the workhouse again next year.

All the stuff about the ‘Trump class’ ships reminds me of this under rated gag from Bart vs. Australia

LATEST: Donald Trump was listed as a passenger on eight flights on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, according an email in the latest document release

Happy Christmas Eve Eve youtu.be/JVpgHBSn6P4?...

i'm not going to bat for the new york times sorry

Left: Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a placard in London Right: Labour's Baron Hain, "This gov is treating Palestine action as equivalent to ISIS or al-Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. I'm deeply ashamed"

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I wish Lydia Tár was real so she could appear on one of the new CBS debate shows

I see we've moved on from "we need to have a debate" to "no, not like that"
