I could be wrong but I think giffy might have succumbed to an AI fever dream.

This is excellent on ‘the angry teenager in a man’s body’ who is Canada’s leader of the opposition. But this sentence is 🔥🔥🔥

Absolute queen shit

Mamdani is going to implement Karen Law. Everyone in NYC will have to demand to see the mamdanager in a nasal voice. (Sorry, nice Karens everywhere. I don’t make the memes.)

Hi @politico.com I think you’re missing a comma or two in there. (Or that chief of staff job was REALLY big.)

I would like to pretend I'm better than this. But I'm not.

I’m no statistician, but if you buy your first house in your 30s on a 50-year mortgage, and life expectancy is low 80s, isn’t this just called — rent?

OK, hands up everyone who read this post and thought, ‘Damn, why didn’t MY parents name me Licoricia?’

Live your life in such a way that when you die people don't literally rise from the dead to shit on your grave.

Have never achieved 7. No lie.

OH MY GOD I SPENT TWO DECADES OF MY LIFE HAVING THIS KIND OF DISCUSSION.* *Confessions of an Ex-copy-editor See also: how many goats in goats cheese; baby’s breath vs babies’ breath; skimmed vs skim milk…

The old Andrew Cuomo: Doesn’t hear ‘No’ when women say it. Now, THE NEW IMPROVED CUOMO (RegTM): Doesn’t hear ‘No’ when the voters shout it.

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all. Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

Excellent farewell to corrupt sexual predator Andrew Cuomo, and a look at his backers, who don’t understand that those adjectives are a negative.

Nominally about trans swimmers at Hampstead Ladies, but a really good letter: please sign & repost. Media & politicians: there is a large no. of women supportive of trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm.

💬 The City of London consultation on the ponds is open until 25 November. It’s important that women who support inclusion take part. Read our new piece to learn more and find out how you can have your say: 🔗 notinourname.org.uk/nion-women-rejects-anti-trans-narrative-at-kenwood-ladies-pond/ 4/5

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

I was going to caption this ‘Me at 60’. But truthfully, it was me at 25, too.

Frankly, I would refuse to meet him on the basis of the Hugh Hefner wannabe jacket alone.

The emotion in his voice at the end is heartening.

I apologize. I said that men would use Sheinbaum being assaulted to blame her for 'ruining' the assaulter's life. I am ashamed. Instead men are using Sheinbaum being assaulted to blame her for a distraction. The one thing you can guarantee: a woman's place is in the wrong.

You'd think the signs in French might be a clue. But I suppose no one ever went broke underestimatinng the brainpower of the average X user.

Roll up, roll up, it is time for Great Stories in Obituaries. Today I give you *drumroll, please* Admiral of the Fleet Lord Hill-Norton, the man who was reputed to be 'one of the rudest men in the British Navy.' 1/

BREAKING: Man photographed in a jacket that doesn’t fit starts his own menswear line. I mean, HE SELECTED THAT FRIGGING PHOTOGRAPH. TO ANNOUNCE HIS OWN MENSWEAR LINE.

SANDWICH GUY AVOIDS TOASTER

Sandwich Guy verdict. What a ‘hero’! (See what I did there?)

This got lost in the scrum about higher profile races, but "Moms for Liberty," an anti-queer hate group that has been infiltrating school boards for the last few years, fielded 32 school board candidates, and lost all 32 elections. People are getting fed up with professional bullies.

Academic publishing for the win. Haven't YOU always wanted to know exactly how many heads Vlad Dracula impaled? Now you can, in 'Counting the Stakes: A Reassessment of Vlad III Dracula’s Practice of Collective Impalements in 15th-c. South-eastern Europe' by Dénes Harai.

And today in ‘Laws that Could Only Have Been Written by Men’: single women eligible for fertility treatment have that fertility treatment withdrawn if — they meet a partner? Je m’en câlice des politiciens.

‘Some US officials say there is no need to force out Maduro as long as he agrees to turn his country into a vassal state & bribe our Great King, and neither the government officials saying this nor we at the Wall Street Journal find it at all inappropriate to state publicly.’

The bringing of alt text into common usage is creating a new field of comedy writing, and I am here for it.

Fuck 'em up.

And as when Taylor Swift did the same the man will no doubt claim SHE ruined HIS life.

I wonder if anyone on here can help? Attached is a section from a 1706 volume, with shorthand annotations that look like Brachygraphy to me. The assumption has to be that they represent the biblical passages in the nearby text, but I can't make the shorthand agree with the texts being referenced.

Yes, this is exactly the kind of tacky that Trump likes, but let's also consider that they are labeling locations so that Trump doesn't get confused about where he is like he did when he wandered off like a lost baby duck with the new PM of Japan last week & with QEII in 2019.

For no particular reason following last night's elections, and those Republicans who might think their districts are now a hot seat, here is the origin of the word 'gerrymander':

Oh damn, sorry to miss @thelondonlibrary.bsky.social 's Christmas party this year, which promises readings from John Julius Norwich's Christmas Crackers which *trumpet tootle* I edited back in the Palaeolithic age.

Former chair of her county's Conservative party, folks. Roll up, roll up, for the Racism Derby!

How sad. I was looking for info on vaccine schedules, and my web browser pulled up the CDC link first. Me: Well, that's not reliable -- what do other countries say?

New favourite example of structural ambiguity

Alt text is 👩‍🍳💋.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

The misogynist’s dilemma (like the prisoner’s dilemma, but with more x-chromosomes): Mamdani’s wife keeps away from his campaign = aloof bitch Mamdani’s wife is involved in his campaign = interfering, pushy bitch
