we need to update the style guides. “Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X, the child sexual abuse material app.”

What a legend. Godspeed, pnh.

‘He now appears willing to embrace regime change’ eh guys, that’s some Woodward and Bernstein level scoop you’ve got there. What tipped you off? Shall we make a little case for a new Pulitzer

Oh it fucking crashes the laptop half way through, that’s fun

why does installing Acrobat Reader now take half an hour and involve having to install several pieces of software I do not want

you can post something like ‘a horse is a large quadrupedal ungulate often domesticated as a riding animal’ and someone will reply ‘you forgot that they have tails’ and, no, I did not ‘forget’ this, I just did not choose to enumerate every Horse Fact. Stop telling me I ‘forgot’ to say things

Wait what the fuck is happening exactly

Ryder is the luckiest boy in Adventure Bay, because he gets to lead a search and rescue team consisting of a financially distressed man who spends his time winding people up on the internet. This week on Pauper Troll,

They really have this delightful Gomez and Morticia vibe going on.

for dinner I am having just a big pile of mash with sausages sticking out of it, like a Bash Street Kid who has come into money

yeah if you haven't seen it, see it, it's wonderful. Feels like a stage play, in a good way.

sliding in right under the wire for dumbest fucking movie opinion I’ve read all year, congratulations

they should gunge him

I endorse this, he should take as much as he likes of whatever he feels like

please don’t do this shit, it’s really annoying for booksellers to have to fix all your little jokes

it is kind of wild watching the entire global economy deform around The Machine That Gives You Psychosis

Fantasy solutions.

oh for fuck's SAKE

One of the best to ever do it

“Jamie... What's that sort of droning noise in the background there? What, kind of boring, kind of low, sort of droning, boring, kind of miserable, whining, kind of, sort of boring noise going on?”

I overheard a kid called Oedipus which is QUITE CONCERING

overheard a parent say to their child ‘come along, Nero’

hey everyone it’s Lenny

Every post from @sffreview.bsky.social - which I’ve now blocked - reads like genAI, and based on their posts, is an outlet no one should support in any way.

Yarvin, of course, fully a fascist

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

this is an infuriatingly stupid article

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

You can’t even lure children into your gingerbread house to eat them any more without being cooked in your own oven. I blame Hansel culture

I know there are lots of old light entertainment troupers who have enduring fan bases but I would be genuinely surprised to learn that anyone ever goes ‘ah great! it’s Christopher Biggins’. Any fans out there? Does Biggins have a posse?

SELL IT TO WHO, BEN?? FUCKING PUMAMAN??

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

I saw Wake Up Dead Man yesterday, it’s all very nicely done and all. It’s just that … in terms of how clever and surprising the mystery plot is, it is, like all the Knives Outs, around the level of an average Jonathan Creek episode

folks I got a microplane box grater for Christmas and I have just turned a stick of horseradish into spicy confetti, this is a game changer

In many ways that stable in Bethlehem, with facilities for both cattle and the Prince of Peace, was the first flexible coworking space

To me, my X-Mas!

A light lunch. Merry Christmas all!

Merry Christmas to my mother, who got my toddler a toy fire engine that not only makes lots of noise, it also sprays real water

I also remember the last pope being accused of ‘virtue signalling’

🎵Hail to our lord Cthulhu 🎵Cyclopean and rugose 🎵And if you ever saw Him 🎵Your brains would dribble out your nose 🎵All of the other Old Ones 🎵Used to laugh and call Him names 🎵He sleeps in sunken R'lyeh 🎵Until the night the Earth's reclaimed
