Just jumped on a regional coach in Aus. Driver: “Right, I won’t tell you the rules, because you probably know ‘em” (Points at a dear old lady) “and no vaping Love. Right, let’s go”

Americans love saying DMV and TSA as if other countries know what those are.

Hey everyone! I’m creating some new versions of this artwork if anyone wants to order one! (They’re fairly tedious to make, so be sure to get in before I get overwhelmed like 3 orders and shut the shop down! 😅) instachaaz.shop/collections/...

Friend: ‘Watched any good series lately’? Me: (Thinking about the three hour film I watched in 15 minute increments over 2 weeks just before falling asleep each night) - ‘Yeah, kinda’

The funniest thing the Nobel Committee could do right now is to give Obama another one.

Mondrian would have loved a bento box.

Hell of a thing to put next to a statue of Joan of Arc. (h/t David Pilling)

Best thing about being an uncle to young kids is you get to say stuff like “who wants Uncle Chaz’s famous scrambled eggs” and it’s just the most average normal scrambled eggs but they’re fully convinced you’re busting out Michelin level eggs just for them.

Demi Adejuyigbe driving a robot around a comedy club stage does more worldbuilding and social commentary than half the robot media I've experienced in the last 5 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9hG...

In other devastating news: G and I missed the local pub quiz last night only to discover that the picture round is MY FAVOURITE GAME. (Which I got to have a crack at retrospectively) PS: it was Mongolia.

At some point in the near future every podcast will have a video of the hosts talking, and some renegade will change the game with an audio-only podcast.

One of really weird things about leaving a city is giving a friend advice on places to go 6 months later and discovering all your go-to places have since permanently closed, and you realise you didn’t just leave a city, but also a point in time. So even if you return, you’ll never really return.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Jackson Pollock makes a mistake….

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Today’s Comic.

Every ‘We’re not racist’ person who gets interviewed…

Discovered a new way to fry an egg: first, seperate the white and yolk, drop the white into a hot pan with olive oil, then drop the yolk on top of that 45 seconds later. You’ll end up with the most disappointing fried egg you’ve ever eaten. Terrible method. Wouldn’t recommend.

Watching Hot Fuzz again and STILL noticing new jokes I missed the previous 15 times.

Just learnt the word Freelance comes from medieval times where there was a guy called Lance who never had any money.

I don’t know where this is going but so far, if you love a bit of Douglas Adams / Spike Milligan, I suspect you’ll enjoy whatever this wonderful thread is.

Holy hell. Is there anything better than finally tracking down a song that you could only remember the very barest details of? I had ‘experimental French band’ and ‘album cover with a naked guy on a big beach’ and ‘an artist whose last name started with V’ Anyway, took a few hours but found it!

“We’ve gone to Mordor by mistake”

Might get some stickers printed

There’s a bell curve with the Tour de France GC: a race with two perfectly matched rivals is amazing, but at the other end, an obscenely one sided race watching a once in a generation talent completely dominating is also amazing. Anything else is a bit dull.

Presenting: Everything you need to know about the Tour de France. All takes on here are correct. Yes, I hate your favorite rider. Do not @ me. hiitskim.beehiiv.com/p/an-entirel...

Absolute joy dealing with a heatwave in the UK. Everyone tells me that I ‘must be used to this as an Australian’ and I smile and go ‘fuck yeah mate, I love it’ But I don’t love it. It’s fucking horrible. This place wasn’t designed to be hot. It’s a fucking nightmare.

When you don’t have the intelligence, patience or diplomatic nuance to govern in a democracy, a dictatorship is the best way to hide that fact.

The Daily News…

(Throws scrunched up paper at bin, misses) “I was actually I was aiming for the floor so yeah, Boom”

A man stirs the pot. “It’s a metaphor,” he says. The frog is sweating. The frog is informed that this is due to a natural variation in temperature. “He’s clearly boiling the frog,” say the other frogs. All books about frogs have vanished from the library.
