One from my son on our drive today: Slightly increase a band Nautical Miley Cyrus

Because i expressed horror at Sunderland voting Reform into power, I’ve been told by a fellow #SAFC fan to keep my politics out of football.. And yet the (minority) co-owner of the club has invited Farage as a guest at the stadium. francesalut.substack.com/p/ealing-pri...

‘The discovery of a third circulatory system could transform our understanding of how the human body works. And it may also change how we view our own bodies in relation to other biological systems.’ This is fascinating—and a wonderful article:

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

Slightly increase a band Stevie Astonishment

Seeing this photo of Jim Steranko at the dedication of Jack Kirby Way reminds me of the afternoon I asked to snap a selfie with him at Baltimore Comic-Con — after we'd reminisced over our first meeting in 1970 when I was 15 — and he turned me down, saying he only takes photos with beautiful women.

This cancellation of a Snoopy with Eeyore's tail and 3 legs will not stand! Oh, wait, yes it will. Well done!

How is this not an @theonion.com headline?

We attended the first men's game of the new Prairies Premier League last night, a tilt between the two Saskatoon teams. My son Brennan is working for Sask Soccer and the Excel program, which won 5-1. I'm going to say the play was much better and more fun than I anticipated. pplsoccer.ca

LMAO the great thing about this is that they had a private equity drone speak at a humanities graduation. But this is also another example of "Twitter brain": people (and industries) that are still on Twitter are disconnected from reality to such a degree that they're shocked to encounter it.

Not the best song on the new kick-ass Social Distortion album, but worth pointing out for those of us who remember their cover of "Ring of Fire." www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_NX...

MOTHER-IN-LAW: I had to take a break from youtube. And instagram ME: why? MIL: I got banned ME: why?? MIL: people are abusing birds, I had to say something! ME: what did you say MIL: that they should be tied up in the basement and beaten to death

"I have a finite time on this earth that I mostly want to spend interacting with other human beings. I don’t want to be the person arguing with a robot, or wasting my time reading something that a real person couldn’t be bothered to write."

I have more difficulty these days convincing my wife to watch something older than I would with my (now adult) sons. I can see that changing after she retires, mind.

"Here, in the sanitized, over-lit heart of the American culture industry, there is an inescapable horror. But it isn't a monster lurking in the shadows; it is the manic, unblinking insistence that actually, there are no shadows at all."--brilliant stuff here

This was at my nephew’s graduation ceremony from the college of arts and humanities at @ucf.bsky.social Her entire speech was tone deaf, and rightfully booed by the graduates It even sparked an entire subreddit DURING the speech. (1/2)

Fran Lebowitz said, “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump,” and she is correct

It is great to hear today from Justice Brown (Supreme Court of Canada) and Chief Electoral Commissioner that the #ForeverCanadian petition is not calling for a referendum, but a vote at Legislature. Also, glad Elections Alberta re-confirmed that all signatures were valid. #ableg

NEW: Secret Handshake installed working arcade games called Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell at the DC War Memorial. The game features "furious tweet battles against Iranian schoolgirls, low-flow shower heads, and other threats to American freedom like DEI and The Pope..."

"Anyone can file an objection, which will trigger an investigation by a team hired, the company says, from the CIA, FBI, and British intelligence agencies. Targeted outlets and reporters will have an opportunity to respond, and the results will be fed to an AI model, which will render a verdict."

*You have to wonder why the models are so tenderly impressionable, when they're fast-talking so many human neurotics into shooting their moms and hanging themselves aimortality.org

When I was in Australia last year, the optimism about this was some of the only good news I heard about climate. And they haven’t even done anything all that special! They’re offering subsidies instead of actively trying to kill solar energy like the U.S.

Shut everything down, we’ve achieved perfection.

Surely they've suffered enough?

Everybody, my grandnephew still needs lots of help. I've updated the GoFundMe, and ask if you're able to chip in, and equally important, for everyone who sees this to share far and wide. www.gofundme.com/f/help-baby-...

My wife can't talk to me about her university's response to AI anymore because, as much as I realize they have to respond to what's actually happening instead of what they wish would be happening, I get kinda crabby and difficult with her.

Sarah's threads are guaranteed to have at least one WTF or Holy Shit moment for me. 1785, you say.

When you and a moot start a 19 reply conversation in a bigger accounts mentions

At the Persephone in #yxe to see Blithe Spirit. Realizing this is my first Noel Coward.

This was suppose to be a joke.

If you read far enough, this is another private equity firm story.

When Dad was 16 he saw this short guy on the block, looking lonely. His name was Paul, he'd just moved to Edmonton, and although he was 3 or 4 years older than Dad, he'd been held back in school because he was an immigrant, so they were in the same grade. www.connelly-mckinley.com/obituaries/P...

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

They have endless amounts of money. Sophisticated bunkers. Private jets. Might the oligarchs of the world know in advance of a nuclear apocalypse? This artist made a warning system to notify you if the ultra-rich flee city centers en masse.

They prayed around a golden statue of Trump? Was it in a BAAL Room?

been stuck in this m&s for ages because richard dawkins won't stop hitting on the self checkout machine

Martin Amis used to say something like the nation is in decline but we still excel at poetry. This is basically the same argument

"Remember that prophecy that some old god would end the world last year?" the guy at the tavern bar laughs. "What happened with that?" I feel Finna flinch beside me. "There's no point telling them," I say. "Well, I didn't kill that old god for their sake." "Saving the world includes the jerks."

A heads up that this may be my favourite thing I've watched this year. At the very least it very much helped my mood when that was sorely needed. www.netflix.com/ca/title/819...

Hey 👋🏽 guys, the UFO files have been released. Check it out! 🤣

As befits an international treasure, this is both delightful and moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1D9...

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
