This is how you guys talk about Jack Reacher

I’ve found it, I’ve found the worst take

... how, precisely, is this man still walking around at liberty?

kpop/drama is the somme of the entertainment industry. a man blows a whistle, and hordes of young women in garish outfits go over the top. those that break through are destroyed by lack of proper follow on support. those who lack enthusiasm are harshly punished to make an example to others.

I like the idea that it's illegitimate for liberal democrats (small l, small d) to consider liberal democracy as an ideal destination. Yeah, lady, they think liberal democracy is good! THey think all countries should be liberal democracies! That's the point!

Having re-invented television, taxis and mass transit from first principles, Silicon valley is now moving onto The Lavender Scare

Yes.

Still can't get over how there's a whole civilization with a capital city at least as big as Pompeii buried deep under miles of volcanic rock from the biggest eruption in like 10,000 years on Lombok in Indonesia and all we know about them is that they existed till they were destroyed

that's silly, it's not going to work, trains are too fast for that

Covering a huge snake in golden scrolling curves and frescoes, call that Rococo's Basilisk

it's so funny to try to legitimize a moronic argument by claiming that it is supported by a growing movement of diverse thinkers and then you list the people who belong to that movement and every single one is stupid and/or racist

I think if you're going to just make shit up about outer space, you have to at least have some flair. This interstellar object is an alien spaceship? Basic. Jupiter is a butch lesbian? Compelling. Provocative. Impossible to prove or even disprove.

"cant build there mate"

So the thing is that Andrew Mountbatten-Wondsor would, as a military officer, have signed the Official Secrets Act. And it's binding for life...

Misconduct in public office is the funniest crime, it’s so broad in how it’s defined it’s almost literally the Crime of Being A Dickhead

Getting genuinely quite angry with the way the docs are handling my mother

I know a lot of people think Microsoft Excel is a dreadful piece of software, but I would rate it October 10th.

dumplings are a side effect of Mongols

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

Tired: You must vote for the lesser evil in the US presidential election in 2028 (Gavin Newsom) Wired: You must vote for the lesser evil in the Manchester Gorton by-election in March (Labour) Hired: You must vote for the lesser evil in the Toronto Mayoral Election in October (Olivia Chow)

In the end they tore it down and build a psyciatric emergency ward in its place, and so the saga mostly ends…. But for the art work they commisioned to put on the roof, its called “how to meet an angel” and to say its wildly insensitive to its location is still an understatement.

Those of us who (like myself) believe that re-armament is necessary, should not lose sight of what a tragedy it is to have to divert resources away from social goods and towards defence, or what a crime certain leaders have committed by forcing us to do so.

Contactless cards to be banned

Reintroduce white dog shit.

Second graph is hilarious when you look at what groups RefUK voters think *are* discriminated against

Probably the best frame I've shot in at least a year, and I knew it the second I touched the shutter release. South Island oystercatcher. 🪶

“Oh so you hate Saint Waffles?”

Church historians now believe that St Pancake was not actually martyred by being flattened by a series of increasingly heavy weights, but rather was burnt alive in a giant pan. The former death is now attributed to Pseudo-Pancake the Areopagite, as attested in the Codex Libum of Nicomedia.

I do think something has to be done about Yorkshire provincialism, and I think it starts with arming Lancashire.

-… then if you check table 6 it will tell you how many points you get for your age. Add those points to the ones from your Relatives-aboard cards and Family-elsewhere cards… -Um, Eric, the water's getting pretty high. -Then stop interrupting! Next, you'll need your dice and the saving throw chart.

We really do need to underline this for people - because somehow the prevaling myth seems to be Russia is winning: the invasion of Ukraine has been the largest political, military and strategic blunder by a state since the Franco-Prussian war. Maybe greater Russia has lost on every concievable axis

They used to try witches by pushing them down an icy hill and seeing if they went straight down or swerved At the Slalom Witch Trials

sparta was smaller, shorter-lived, and had a weaker literary output than the kingdom of gwynedd

the fact that so early into an EA release i'm already seeing my friends and folks around make so many gags and memes about the Menace SLs is such a good sign. i await the fan comics about the fucking bullshit that happens back aboard the impetus

Time to retell my worst first date story: We're having drinks and a little while in she asks if I know who Andrew Wakefield is? I launch into a real rant: call him a liar, list off all the errors in his work, his patents and other conflicts of interest, anyway, long story short he's her godfather.

How old again?

The huge success of "actually eating steak and butter every day is GOOD for me" is great evidence for the Everyone is 12 Now theory

It's actually amazing how Laconophilia has successfully laundered the reputation of a polity whose maximum size in population and territory was smaller than that of an average medieval kingdom with an infinitely smaller cultural output and far fewer military successes

THAT HUMAN WAS ONLY 97 YEARS OLD YOU SICK FUCK

small brain: "the elves frown upon human-elf relationships because they are hidebound reactionaries" large brain: "any elf that has sex with a human under the age of 100 is a disgusting pervert"

Absolute madness

mostly I am tired of people with 3 passports and 6 multinational conglomerates lecturing me on the virtues of ethnic nationalism

i can’t think about deer anymore without thinking of this tweet

Exactly. This is not a lot of money. And once destroyed you don’t get to rebuild it.
