Lol

Wishing you a Happy Easter with this all time banger.

Dr. Joyce Brothers grew up in a Jewish family in NY, had a PhD from Columbia, a husband in medical internship making $50/month, a new baby, and no income. In 1955 she decided to go on a game show. Not because she wanted to be on TV. Because they were, in her words, "hungry." #EternalLight 1/10

This is my own fault but Dnd being a seppo creation introduces unanticipated complications. Wtf.

Ell oh ell

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

We're tipping our hand. #TheFixIsIn

This is pretty horrible. (Ie I'm likely affected)

This was a great thing all right but so was the ability of actually searching emails for precise words. What happened to that.

Ah Anthony Gormley, a pompous early adopter of electric cars. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just need to wait till this awful business dies down a bit x

À suivant la réponse inattendu aux images proposeé pour les nouvelles billets Britannique, on vous propose, en suite, ces idées pour les billets émit par la BCE. 😸🇪🇺

Always struck by the "of Americans" bit. These preening septic fists don't have a problem with fucking over everyone else.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey: "Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Ah the seasons of bluesky.... European* food is shit Europeans don't have clothes driers Fahrenheit is more intuitive than C Imperial is more intuitive than metric Europeans don't have ice *usually but not exclusively British

Roger Casement: “A nation is a very complex thing. It never does consist; it never has consisted solely of men of one blood or one single race – it is like a river, rising in the hills with many sources, many converging streams, that become one great stream.” (1905)

Mad we might get to see both scenarios here. It’s like getting killed in a video game and then returning to a checkpoint

😂 What a dipshit.

So... I don't use TikTok and can't check, but is this censorship story real? I've only seen a single screenshot, reposted multiple times, and I can't see how it is even saying what is claimed.

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Every morning I take my Dog out for a walk and a poo, in the park..it's brilliant, she always barks to let me know if someone is coming. So I can quickly pull up my jeans and pretend I was looking for her ball...

This feels at once shocking and about right, once I think of it. What a shitty decade or so. www.ft.com/content/66eb...

Relentless good news on the energy transformation.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

This is the thing. The story that "the UK is joining a mission to defend European territory from US aggression" is *huge*, it overturns a century of geopolitical assumptions, it'd overwhelm everything else. But the story is also "one guy goes on trip which may well go nowhere". Which is silly.

Was talking to my fellow mid 40s friend recently, who is playing through RE on VR for the first time and I noted that it was a Quite Tricky Game If I Remember Correctly and he concurred.

After a decade plus of them, I never could be sure if their malice was accentuated or mitigated by their incompetence but with Jenrick reprising the experience I can be sure of one thing: LOL.

Great news that gets on the tits of bad people is the ultimate twofor. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.

A picture is worth 1000 words... This appeared on the BBC News today, showing the increase in solar electric generation in the UK. Not sure who produced it, but genuinely think this is a genius piece of scientific communication - the construct and choice of colour scale is near-perfect. Chapeau!

Someone who a) writes for a living b) on politics, and he can't parse this, wtf.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely. youtu.be/R9XN1iOungs?...

We've done some boxing by mistake

Home Alone...I should be so lucky.

A gay friend of my dad's came back from holiday, having seen NFL and excitedly declared, "I've discovered 'Rugby: The Musical'"

Took me a second to get it but this is 😘 👌

Clean electricity is officially growing fast enough in China that the level of fossil generation is falling, even as overall demand rises. They've gotten over the hump.

This reminds me: my eldest has expressed interest in getting into D&D, and we'd like to try it as a family (adult*2, 12yo, 11yo). Are there any resources or tips for how to start, having never played before?

Always had this sense that Blue Labour was a loosely socially conservative faction within Labour. This is absolute cookoo.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Forced an involuntary whoah out of me

reality show called 'We Can Always Tell' where you drop terfs on an island and tell them that one of them is secretly trans. every episode they have to vote on who it is and obsessively transvestigate one another - her height! her forehead! she's suspiciously perfect, it's surgery! they are all cis

Reminder transphobia affects more than just trans people

I still haven't got used to ribbon menus so this confirms my status as a fossil.

I don't think I've ever felt as broken from a tech problem as I do now. Two hours trying everything I can think of to transfer my son's minecraft worlds off his (kids profile) amazon fire.
