I wonder how many children were on the wrong list before Santa double-checked it

The University of Essex Library has marzipan busts of Roy Jenkins and David Owen in its SDP archive essexunilibrary.wordpress.com/2022/11/08/f...

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

You don't need LLMs to produce the average of human language, just Bluesky

I still quite enjoy Christmas but tbh it's probably because I don't make much effort

Took me a minute to clock what GNS meant. Why were TVs priced in guineas not pounds?

Doing sexual harassment training module at work. #whatswrongwithbeingsexy

That's it, I'm boycotting everything

Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

The power move would be for Cat and Alan to double cross each other on the split or steal decision and for the charities to get nothing #celebritytraitors

Sooty & Co (28th October 1996). Sooty and the gang round off their Spanish holiday by going clubbing.

Are they also … lovers?

Love that Florence Pugh is reviving "Blondie is a woman" after the battle seemed to be lost

Is a poo cushion a whoopee cushion that emits shit when you sit on it?

Guess which young Tory no longer appears in this composite photo, or indeed the article itself? archive.ph/https://www....

RIP lovely Jilly Cooper, the only subject of a @backlisted.bsky.social episode to write us all thank you letters afterwards. ❤️

quick, go now before the crowds gather

There are no words to describe how happy shit like this makes me. Absolutely masterful set-up and reveal from 1:07. I howled

Cant even have men Archbishops any more Because of Woking

It really is just relentless the constant dehumanisation in this country. Prove you deserve to be here. Prove you deserve to be cared for. Prove your gender. Prove you deserve to have human rights. Prove you deserve to stay after a whole decade. It just chisels away at your humanity

I'm OK with digital ID cards but not if the app is called BritCard FFS https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/25/keir-starmer-expected-to-announce-plans-for-digital-id-cards?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

DJT: I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: this business decision was driven by DJT: No I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: Unitary executive theory implies that DJT: I SAID I AM USING THE STATE TO PUNISH CRITICISM AND EXTORT PEOPLE FOR MONEY

Oh for god's sake, now I'm whistling House of Jealous Lovers at my desk

It's so weird that people pick the sad occasion of Robert Redford's death for an outpouring about his hotness. Reminds me of Gene Hackman in the Royal Tenenbaums: “I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.”

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

When did 21-year-olds start dressing like they are 60? www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Change the hairstyles and they'd look very much like the stars of today

RFK Jr. Mandates All Americans Drink Mysterious Glowing Liquid

I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Yes. This map showing how children’s right to roam free has been removed over four generations always makes me sad.

Dune, 1965

Facebook so underrated as a platform

The Earth is healing https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/jul/22/edinburgh-funniest-fringe-joke-award-scrapped-for-2025

Watched the first episode of MIX TAPE. Was a bit rubbish and of course if it was authentic it would be called COMPILATION TAPE

Mail on Sunday has succeeded in making this actually sound awesome

I know it's not going to happen, but imagine Joni Mitchell headlining the Pyramid stage

This is the biggest pile of shit I've read in the last 30 minutes https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/23/stop-saying-hope-well-emails-say-instead-23483211

This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

Doing my bit for female emancipation by not reminding my wife and children that it's Father's Day

It is always funny to me when old cartoons write who the person is on them. It's one thing when it's something like PESTILENCE but when it's an actual person it's more ridiculous

Abs gutted to have been offline for a couple of hours and missed two high agency males engaging in phallocentric discourse

Why are they reporting it like it's a paramilitary coup?

"Wrong side of humanity" is an even more vacuous phrase than "wrong side of history"

Has there ever been a clusterfuck more delightful than this Grok thing?

You know what's exhausting? Knowing that history has proved most panics about the younger generation to be ridiculous yet having a daily assault on this belief

Very pleased to see the Beano still making Barry Cryer jokes
