NORMAL CATHOLICS: gonna donate some money to charity, if i can. Help the dissadvantaged etc. ADULT CATHOLIC CONVERTS:

I keep seeing adverts for 'whole body deodorant'. Have people stopped showering?

An exorcist is basically the spiritual equivalent of a GP crossed with a pest control guy, and their presentation should reflect this (maybe a bit more GP, although a priest showing up in overalls and going *teeth suck* "well here's yer problem you've got a Legion behind yer fridge" would be great)

Nighttime... DAYTIME!

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Good lord. Some departments could entirely grind to a halt... ...oh

“He’s very conflict-averse. Andy wants to be loved and avoids making difficult decisions.” I don’t want to be a downer but isn’t this what Jess Philips, Wes Streeting and everyone else have been complaining about with Keir Starmer?

Also, given Farage is even prepared to say 'Up the 'RA' for 70 quid, it's not remotely true

God forbid people who are not Americans discuss things important to them on this platform.

It is almost impossible to stress how utterly pathetic it is to say that the prime minister has failed and lost all authority and must be given a few more months because you miscalculated the timing on how you could personally benefit?? Fuck off with this

As an act of mayoral solidarity, perhaps Sadiq could post one of these to Andy.

Being given the punishment briefing (hobnobbing with celebrities, attending sports events, representing one of our real success areas on the world stage) whilst pining for my dream job (explaining to local councils that there's no money left between abolishing them).

Why does the UK keep inventing these impenetrable and arcane processes for selecting a leader when "Bake Off" already exists.

I object to the we are all ungovernable thing. Yes a lot of people have melted their brains online which begs the question - why are you trying to appeal to them? But a 170 majority is 'you will take the medicine and feel the benefits in 3 or 4 years time' territory. It was a choice not to govern.

"Man delivering a speech he considers important prepares for it and uses tools available to him to make that as successful as possible" is not news. Chris Mason is a disgrace.

This thread nails a huge part of the problem for almost any PM, Labour or otherwise.

If there are MPs who think Burnham is the answer it's really saying something about their opinion of their colleagues that they would rather await the possible return of Mr Nice Eyelashes than pick one of them.

Not me, laughing at this for 10 minutes straight.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

Me: (Smart, looking at the most devastating evidence imaginable that my smart plan is an incredible, historic disaster) I was even more right than I suspected

I threw a ball for my dog. May be a little extravagant, but he looks great in a tux.

Keep rinsing out your yoghurt pots, everyone!

there's a credible argument that Jeremy Corbyn's single greatest impact on British politics has been mainstreaming open antisemitism on the British left, and he is determined to continue his hard work even post-leadership

Great piece. Nails the details on so many of the feelings of why AI is bad for brain development. One thing hinted at but not stated explicitly is I think this will, of course, continue to divide prospects of the upper class. In-person, tailored education for me, AI for thee.

17 today. The reign of terror continues.

Unless a great many more people start to call this out for what it actually is, we are well and truly lost. www.jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the...

The Greens were a respectable party two years ago. Now they are very intentionally choosing to embrace the worst of the Corbyn years in pursuit of Polanski's self-absorbed political ambitions. When Polanski said that the antisemitism claims in Labour were manufactured, he actively welcomed this.

Quote with your vibe if you were a vampire.

Skill issue.

"For fuck's sakes, we leave you alone for 250 years and I come back and you've wrecked the place. It's going to take ages to clear up this mess."

Have you considered that the green policy will have the end result that the world’s poorest will likely die, and this is environmentalism *of a sort*. Malthusianism, I think we could call it.

Just spent half an hour watching a hedgehog in the garden. So happy.

This is your regular reminder that conspiracy theories are often predicated on the idea that a (sometimes large) group of people can be uniformly secretive and competent while executing a complicated thing, which — and I cannot stress this enough — is, uh, way less common than you’d think.

Could a red kite make off with your dog? And in a similar vein, how did you become an idiot?

The cat has made a little nest among the bulbs under the lilac tree and it's so cute I can't cope.

I love it when I forget why I avoid certain things and then my body reminds me after the fact. *adds sugary foods to the list of nice things we can't really enjoy anymore, again*

“No I haven’t got Going Underground. Fuck off.”

It says 'I did it and got away with it'.

MUST. PILE. STUFF.

The Travelling Whaleburys

A sense of shame having an impact on deciding whether to act like a cunt or not

I sometimes got the feeling that every piece of advice Sun Tzu gave could have been prefaced by "Dude, Seriously..."

JD Vance is rightly getting a lot of stick this evening, but we shouldn’t forget America’s Most Mediocre Failson either.

I'm sure Republicans have nothing to worry about, unless like Orban they were hoping to rely on JD Vance's charisma to lift their electoral fortunes in the face of a deeply unpopular incumbent perceived as personally corrupt and inept at managing a struggling economy. Oh. Oh wait. Oh no.

Just made my little niece laugh her head off singing 'pick it lick it roll it flick it' to the tune of daft punks 'harder better faster stronger' so don't tell me i don't deserve to earn those comedy mid-bucks

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

I am just a smol bean government with a 156 seat majority, please help me
