No _your_ mother-in-law is holding an impromptu Madison class between courses.

keeping Christ in Christmas (eating a lot of bread and complaining about the rich)

Happy "Jesus Christ would you look at the buff Jesus Christ" Eve, one and all.

Using the phrase "US-style" in 2025 and you're not even talking about pancakes? Get tae absolute fuck.

The absolute fucking state of this. It's like teaching the kids that menthol cigarettes won't make their breath smell as bad. Abstaining from responsibility and integrity and blaming it on inevitably. Abject moral cowardice.

If we don't beat the absolute fuck out of these cunts then we've failed as a species.

You've heard of elf on the shelf but have you danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Unimpressed cat is not impressed

Taking a break from mocking the client journalism of the US to mock its equally pointless UK cousin.

Avengers: End Game

I see it's "my first Lego boat" day on the paedo wing.

Get in!

Have they just anti-woked themselves into incompetence or did the remaining few competent staff deliberately screw up redacting the Epstein documents? I'm going for "both" but it's still genuinely funny.

Wait, they legit just color blocked the text and all you need to do is copy paste?!! Did they at least change the font from WOKE CALIBRI??!!!

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

It's cool that we've granted unlimited power to men who don't even know how to call their mommy or get drunk with a friend.

Close your eyes and imagine what this guy looks like. Now open them. You were correct.

The whole point of giving is that it's unconditional. If I give you a tenner then it becomes your tenner. If you spend that tenner on booze and ciggies then you've spent your tenner. Also you've not got much booze and ciggies because they're fucking expensive. Should have said twenty.

I can't find this in my Spotter's Guide To Omens and Portents but it can't be good, right?

This is almost adorable. I worked on the technology that mitigates this at least fifteen years ago. It's a solved problem. The only way this claim is even slightly true is if the US is using 20th century tech.

Can't wait for one of his stunts to kill somebody then he can return to YouTube five years later with an unnatural pink inflatable friend. Oh wait he already looks like that.

Typografie ist wichtig!

For non-UK readers, this snippet is an almost perfect primer for joining this soap at pretty much any point in the last forty years. It's even got bananas in the background.

Awkward.

Jesus fucking Christ. No. No I don't have any child rapist "skeletons in the closet", Libby. And if you do then you need to denounce the fuck out of them immediately, you absolute fucking danger. How much did the Murdoch nonces pay for this preemptive defensive move? Jesus.

Recent experiments on large open source repositories show that devs _perceive_ an increase in efficiency but actually experience a 10-15% _decrease_ in progress against estimates and against working without LLM aid. Even for software it is pure Emperor's New Clothes.

If only, りりさん, if only.

This is the most spectacular bit of undignified posting through that I've seen this month.

Genuinely the most pathetic fanboys of my lifetime.

He's making a list He's checking it twice He's underlining in different colours He's adding some times He's reformatting as a Gantt He's colouring it in again 🎶 Santa Claus has executive dysfunction! 🎵

I dreamt that I had a small barn full of a variety of owls. I do not. Yet again the middle aged white bloke is the real victim.

Nice

We've spent a trillion dollars to solve your billion dollar problems that don't actually exist. Please pay us peanuts to address simple problems that we still can't solve. Everything is fine.

My only real problem with people who argue that Starmer is the worst PM in a generation is that the generation isn't over and Streeting is next.

There's a whole new branch of mathematics required to deal with how genAI thinks counting works.

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

Furriest beefs

Counterpoint: this sounds fucking marvellous

You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

I know we're all armchair boxing experts this week but Jesus Christ he couldn't have signposted that upper cut any more if he'd wound it up like a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Color me shocked.

I've been an LLM cynic since before it was trendy but even I am impressed at just how rapidly it is fucking up human knowledge. We're heading into the self-consuming sludge era at terrifying speed.

Literally nobody else on the planet gives a fuck about your mansion renovations or how you label your maps or which rapey president you name your theatres after. Fix your fucking fascism problem first.

It's only the 20th and most of the remaining crimbo chocolates are fucking orange creams. I'm the real victim.

One of the highest concentrations of physical joy ever committed to celluloid.

It's interesting that in 2021 Bill and Melinda Gates got divorced because of his appearance in the Epstein files, but you'd barely know this was the reason why given how the media just glosses past it. Odds are, you didn't know that Melinda had started the divorce process in 2019, citing Epstein.

I often click through the Worst Posts to preemptively block anybody who likes it and _regularly_ there are "follow back" people and ... just ... follow fewer people, my dudes.
