I’ve done some calculations and, as I suspected, this latest global descent into madness can be traced back to the greedy ass airlines taking away our god given right to smoke on airplanes

Why didn't they get Matt Berry to replace Wogan on Eurovision?

Andorra is situated between France and Spain, in what I like to call the Pyreneeum.

When I worked in naval mine warfare requirements development and later on the Iran problem set, I have to admit, we never considered a Presidential tweet as one of the means at our disposal to get a Q-lane going through the Strait. That’s on me, honestly.

Living in 2026 is an insult to one’s intelligence.

I, too, like to put my own surname in quotation marks. Usually after a 5-day bender on hallucinogenics, when I'm not quite sure if I'm a real, actual, thing.

You can see the family resemblance.

This lunch includes all five of the main Dutch food groups: cheese, cucumber, geometry, boredom and sorrow, with most of the vitamin content provided by the soul-destroying view of endless flatness spilling off the far-flung horizon.

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

This is possibly something you all knew already, but just read that the word for pupils (as in eyes) derives from the same root as puppet and puppy and it's because when you look in someone's pupils you see a small doll-like version of yourself

We need to find out why the people who we’ve bombed, sanctioned and dehumanised for decades won’t accept us as their liberators, guys. We need our best people working on this, guys. Guys?

I'm obsessed with the way there were 9/11 conspiracy documentaries on Bin Laden's hard drive. Just imagine him being all "they're not telling us everything, lads".
