This story always come to mind when thinking about Trump, Musk, Thiel etc.

One of these countries is scarier than the other

In Agadoo did Kubla Khan Push pineapples, shake the tree

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

someone brought up loadbearing tweets today

Competitively priced for loo roll, but not soft or absorbent enough. The perfect punctuation mark to my choice for who had the worst year on @quietriotpod.bsky.social.

This has made me cry - such an uplifting story

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

I am increasingly thinking that 9/11 attacks were more successful than Bin Laden could possibly have imagined. 25 years later and the West is almost broken and America seemingly about to invade another random country over oil.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

2025... Visitors to the USA required to hand over 5 years worth of social media records. Australia bans under 18s from accessing social media. 2030... The only tourists visiting the USA are young Australians.

Moment of unintentional comedy brilliance on a training course today. An experienced sales manager was unable to state a single benefit of listening.

😱 "For example, the release of The Beatles’ first UK number one, Love Me Do, is closer to the reign of Queen Victoria than it is to the present day." @jackkessler.bsky.social

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Huge fan of the classic understatement on this recreated vintage poster

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament. But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside. Good night.

This might be one of the best remakes I’ve ever heard.

OK guys, post your best signs from today for entry into my Top 15 No Kings Sign Contest.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Hope you get the job, Steve!

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the recognition of Humanist marriage in England and Wales! In June, I secured a debate on this very issue, alongside my colleagues Lizzi Collinge MP and Freddie van Mierlo MP, and I’m pleased that following that debate the law is changing.

A simple rule of the right is that it is more egregious to call someone a racist than to be a racist. The latter is understandable, the former unforgivably rude.

Every neighbourhood has a Ross. As a rule, they are eternally angry at their own lack of self-worth. It just manifests in different ways.

What's that in my eye? As a teacher, I see how this works in our own school. The best aspect of my job.

There is a tongue-in-cheek unit of volume called the Hubble-barn, equal to the volume of a cylinder with cross-sectional area of one barn (100 fm^2 - about the size of a uranium nucleus) and height of one Hubble length (14.4 billion light years). It works out to three and a half gallons.

Walked out of my door to see a young girl maybe 3 or 4 wearing a sparkly dress and a set of rainbow fairy wings. I comment to her mum how cute she looks. Her mum smiles and says yeah and we've got a whole day of it, she loves pride. Happy pride all hope it is as much fun for you as it is for her.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

Gotta admire Corbyn's relentless ambition. It's not enough to have played his part in delivering Brexit and Boris Johnson, he wants the accomplishment of a Farage premiership before he's done.

Lying is so much less cognitively burdensome if the first victim is yourself.

I think about this clip alot.

If Ice T's career arc is anything to go by then by 2035 the Kneecap guys will end up playing edgy but decent Europol agents on Netflix

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Ooo isn't it hot ...

"Confusion today as budget retail chain poundland accidentally sold itself for £1"

Anyone been to Copenhagen and have any suggestions, going there tomorrow.

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

Today in 1921 a white mob attacked the black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma with guns, aircraft & incendiary bombs. As many as 300 were killed, 10,000 black people were left homeless.
