Every fucking day.

Now we don't use X and are only active here (plus struggling upstream agains the algorithms on Instagram and Meta), the best way to keep up-to-date with tQ is via our newsletters: The Digest (a breakdown of the last week) and The Portal (our weekly archive dive).

This is amazing news. I saw how devastating this is as it affected a member of my extended family. At first everyone thought he was anxious and jittery, but it gradually progressed. It was harrowing to see the illness take him over. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I was half expecting this tbh. The cynical part of me does think that perhaps this will raise its profile and by late October they will announce a release date (and possibly dump it all in one go rather than weekly release)

Woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was begging raptured. Nah, just some trapped wind getting released.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Working on a Tylenol/Paw Patrol thing. May never see the light of day.

People are making Rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow

Just realised that I did a whole presentation yesterday without taking any propranolol beforehand. It's no wonde that after 5 minutes everything seemed half a mile away and I couldn't even follow my notes.

2 Girls 1 Carp

Wait? The Rapture and Jimmy Kimmel's return are BOTH tomorrow? What next? The resurrection of Charlie Kirk?

5 Padron Peppers and none of them had any kick.

Autism was categorized as a syndrome in 1943, but Tylenol didn't become available until 1955. Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

Anyway, if The Rapture announce a comeback tour tomorrow, then they've pulled a hell of a marketing coup.

Had to do that thing today where you stand up in front of people and talk at them for 30 minutes then answer questions.

Does he realise by doing what he's been doing for years and now saying this that he's now basically a walking satirical paradox?

If The Rapture is tomorrow, why haven't I received my Kool Aid kit yet?

Once again Reform showing everyone they do not have an idea how the economy works and will just pluck huge numbers out of the air.

What's that? Marcus Rashford left out of the Barcelona squad yesterday because he was late to match day training? You do surprise me.

Trump looks like he'd rather be anywhere else other than a memorial today. Probably predicting his golf swing when the camera isn't on him.

Ball. Over. The. Top.

The Toys That Made Us randomly using the Terry and June theme always makes me smile. Thinking of Terry falling through a sunlounger and June dressing as a punk really helps pad out the backstory of My Little Pony.

My son buys a peck of Pokémon cards, gets them home and then asks me to check the (potential) value of each card to see if he's up or down.

I see City have just taken off their best defender (Haaland)

I think what Arsenal need is for a bunch of fans of struggling and "past their glory days" teams to simultaneously post about Arsenal's ability to open up Man City so that they can score.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Kids home from a weekend at their mum's 5 minutes later Kids have gone out...

Well, that was a load of old balls between Silva and Trossard. #ARSMCY

Christ.

As I've seen it come up, no, authors don't get paid for writing blurbs for other authors. We do it (mostly) to pay it forward and to bring attention to work we think is good. Also, if an editor/publisher tried to bribe me for a blurb, that email would go up here and on my personal site SO FAST

Glad I wasn't the only one. Felt like a soundtrack to a different film at times, and it definitely forced an "Inside Man" feel to it at other times. It's probably why I felt there was zero tension when I was supposed to.

My bag of "Ripen at home" avocados bought last Tuesday are clearly on separate ripening paths. Avocado 1 on Friday was perfect for mashing into today, but Avocado 2 today was a stubborn twat and had to be sliced.

People getting the internet at home meant young men no longer got a basic grounding in arthouse cinema while looking for nudity on TV.

This checks out.

The Royal Society are really shitting through their fingers and waiting for permission to flush with this.

Finally saw some non-action scenes from "Tron: Ares" a few days ago. Well, I can see why they ran with FX and action continuously for months. I feel that it's going to flop very hard.

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

This doesn't surprise me as puritanical Christian supremacist movements don't want women distracted by sports when they should be at home being a baby making trad wife. For them, this is mission accomplished.

Another thing about the Your Party debacle is that it was a staggering act of self importance to start what is basically a single issue party now - an issue which the Greens are fighting and are in a better position to galvanise those on the left who are deserting Labour. But fuck Trans rights eh?

I mean, they were already becoming a big joke, but the punchline that Your Party delivered today is the biggest thing in politics since a split second before Chuka Umunna's massive ego burst.

Have you kicked out the transphobes yet?

Remember that bit in Raiders where Ronald Lacey had gone home and they needed him for a shot so they just propped his coat and hat against the car seat?

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

Daughter recently asked about getting System of a Down and/or My Chemical Romance tickets and I said we'll see. She badgered me again last night and I explained that the tickets are over £200 and nearly £300. She was totally aghast and pointed out that a week at Green Man last year wasn't much more

I walk around high streets with empty properties with "To let" signs for property agents and feel that we literally need to nationalise the high street to keep lease/rents down to allow small businesses to survive.

The proliferation of AI has always been about forcing applications to work in real time rather than rigorous testing before release. There would be more trust in AI if that was the case, but they cannot afford to as they need a sellable product way ahead of when that product is ready to sell.

Right, I've just seen the reviews for One Battle After Another - is PTA finally going to get that Oscar?

Jebus Fucking Christ

Son has just told me in great detail about some poor kid in his class who sharted so badly that it came out the top of his pants and down his legs, all over the floor and his blazer. They had to close the classroom. Poor kid is going to have to change school.
