i for one have full confidence in the trump administration's ability to adequately refit a plane donated by a foreign government into a highly secure mobile command center for the united states executive, following their unquestionably successful renovation of A Large Pool of Water

I know, we're so used to see the US scoring own goals these days, refreshing to see the Aussies do it.

We've lost a legend: James Burrows, one of the greatest sitcom directors in TV history, has passed away at the age of 85, per People magazine.

Might stick that photo on my driving licence. "Well I'm just a bit reticent, guard."

That’s got to be some set of scales he owns.

USA-Australia, not obscure. But in 1865 CSS Shenandoah was chasing Union whalers and broke down, anchored near Melbourne, and since not much happened in Melbourne, became the focus of a week long party featuring a formal ball. After repair it went on to fire the final shots of the Civil War.

The cool thing about using a weather app in Ireland is you get to see *all* the different rain icons.

Ireland 1, Stupid Tech-Bro Ideas 0. Don’t let the door hit your drones on the way out.

Bought a new thesaurus today. It is good.

Truly just takes life to get a little bit difficult or uncomfortable to find out what friends are there and check in with you through thick and thin, and which are only there when it suits and benefits them in the good times (dancing naked around a wicker pyre in the shape of your mutual enemy)

I just can’t even

Fucking what? By who???

Short Film Friends! I'm working on a thing, a very good system thing what will be great. To finish the testing, I need a handful of your masters, please. In return, I'll hand you back deliverable files for anywhere you might want to send it (including a DCP, if that's your thing).

I made a joke about James Bond on Instagram the other day, and this is what AI has generated since then. Obviously, there’s literally nothing true about this, and it is fucking hilarious. As a certified AI hater, I LOVE when it gets it things so incredibly wrong.

Fascist Russia under heavy meme assault this morning... (Collected on Xitter by @414magyarbirds)

let’s fuckin goooooo

Well symbolism just had a furious wank.

>Renames it to the Department of War >Names himself the Secretary of War >Fights one war >Loses

“Saw a museum exhibition of nudes in London yesterday.” “Really? The V & A?” “Yep, some boobs and balls too”.

Your periodic reminder that Hollywood has genuinely brilliant creative storytellers, which are about 3% of the industry, while the other 97% are dull-eyed imaginationless MBA smarmclones who couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag.

Stop the dumb, I want to get off.

"FOX commentator Darren Fletcher has just called Portugal's opponents 'Doctor Congo'" 🤡

there needs to be a coordinated global effort among democracies to destroy this man's financial and social media empires and leave him impoverished and powerless

CLINT is such a cool name. It looks like CUNT.

SpaceX fans definitely aren't nazis but somehow talk of one's "bloodline" ends up in a discussion of an IPO

Monsters.

It’s Albert Finney’s birthday. He had such a good time making Miller’s Crossing that he turned up on his day off to appear in drag when Gabriel Byrne bursts into the ladies room.

Seems like it would be pretty difficult to negotiate on behalf of someone who absolutely will not commit to abiding by anything you sign

I may only be a novelist who doesn’t get out much, but I know that if you win a war, you don’t have to pay the loser $300bn

🧵A somewhat niche thread. Film posters inadvertently photographed by postwar town planners. I found most in the Manchester Archives+ and Manchester Libraries archives. #1: Dr. No #cinema #socialhistory

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

The current vice president shouldn't have "a new book out." That's not a thing that a guy with that job should also have.

COWORKER: what’s your favorite band ME: (totally not listening) you too

Just seen two women, neither of whom was Chaka Khan. Beginning to think she might be lying.

ok, I'm taking a fucking nap

After 30 seconds in the vitamin and supplement aisle at the grocery store I’ve decided that no matter how many years this stuff could add to my life I’d rather spend them dead

The second point here is huge. If you manipulate the feed you’re a publisher.

JOYCE WANKERS!

Just overheard an American in central Dublin ask "is this the rainy season?". Mate.

Max Sex United States, Census, 1930

Every pitch I’ve heard for how AI can make my job more efficient starts like this

I think every media person who has spent the last 3-4 years warning everyone that AI is a scam should, when the bubble bursts, get one billion dollars each to run our normal businesses for the next 1000 years. seems fair.

lmaoooo Bibi pissed him off

(french guy listening to House of Pain) when do zey begin to rap about ze baguette

The "we announced a fake peace treaty because it was the head of state's birthday" thing is pure late Roman empire.

I think that if you're from England — including Hot England (Australia) and Gun England (America) — you should generally take a moment before posting your little joke about Ireland just to check if it's actually funny.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump Justice Department's senior leadership closed an investigation of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery before career staffers who were concerned about the acquisition had an opportunity to object, according to people familiar with the matter.
