absolutely huge win for paracetamol manufacturers on this side of the atlantic to get to distance themselves from the trump thing

Tyler is such an American name that they even use it for their drugs

for my fellow confused non-americans, tylenol is what they call paracetamol

Me, the first time I explained 35mm vs. DCP to my wife

keep messing up my voice on "no, sorry" when some random guy asks me for a cigarette, which prompts an inevitable "are you a man or a woman?" look, i'm just tired.

While many of you are likely yelling "GO MANDALORIAN!" or "GO GROGU!" I'm yelling "GO ROBERT MUELLER and the rule of law!"

we have reached the fourth turning (just saw a fashionable young woman wearing skinny jeans).

It would actually be a useful intervention if Obama said that I personally was right the whole time

What a cross-sectional moment controversy-speaking this is.

lot of people out there oblivious to the fact they've made "curing autism" a special interest

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

covenant is the best alien film bar none

my god

i really admire when people try and hornypost their way into thinking alien resurrection is good. it's not good at all but i really admire the effort.

you'd think british trains would be equipped to deal with flooding on the track

i'm on my way

democrats buy sneakers too

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

Okay so, the problem is elite radicalisation: the people in charge have driven themselves completely insane, with online. How should we resolve this problem of a very small number of people who are plaguing millions, with their tiny, insignificant elite concerns?

it is insane that the whatsapp ios app literally will not let you set it to dark mode if the iphone itself is on light mode.

i understand why people don't want the wrong sorts of people finding this stuff out, but it still frustrates me that we have to whisper sons pretty clearly true things about bushnell.

my favourite example of this was when, if you add them up, the american public accidentally said more than half the us population was either muslim or jewish. ~no one actually thinks america is not a majority christian country.

if there is one thing I've learned from a decade in sports analytics, it's that normal people have absolutely no fucking idea how percentages work

The "student politics" thing really comes down to the fact that for most of our political and media class, the last time they had to deal with a left winger challenging them was when they were doing student politics themselves.

I think centrists having a smug little gloat about whatever is going on with "Your Party" when most of us on the left have found a lot of hope in the Greens is a bit weird when Labour is tanking so very biblically. We get it, guys, it's football to you.

i see a lot of people online like "what does [famous lib] need to worry about here, trump isn't coming for rich white guys". and it's like, as a demographic yes, but fascist regimes very much come after high profile public figures who supported the other side. tier 1 target.

get kicked out and start a new thing all you want, but corbyn and sultana immediately entering factional warfare shows they are still fundamentally labour party brained.

man its so weird how letting transphobic bigots join the party resulted in a larger sexism problem. if only anyone had predicted this ahead of time. oh well

there's nothing else for it. everyone who has ever been a uk political staffer is now legally a bin man or sewage worker for the rest of their career. hard reset. do something useful. we cant trust a single one of you thick of it motherfuckers

you're a government brainwashed stowaway on a spaceship what would you know

guys just join the green party

they should make Your Party (Boys) and Your Party (Girls)

"this fashion trend is back, but it's not the trashy version you remember. here's how to wear it in a classy, timeless way" *one year later* "the maximally trashy version of this trend is now all the rage"

i think about this rando a lot

the sheer variety of cuisines in D. this isn't close.

people are not going to accurately recall how much they knew about him before the blanket news coverage of the past week. they'll convince themselves they had definitely heard of the guy everyone was talking about.

i disbelieved and disbelieved all the "hrt can make your feet shrink" claims. they seemed so ridiculous! and yet, after a lifetime of being right around a 9.5 (uk sizes), on many different pairs of shoes i now seem slightly smaller than a size 9, just over 2 years into hrt.

the things i could accomplish if my brain was normal

bold claim from a man who only got hired for his current job because he had the right politics for boris johnson's government

obvious fake, trans women can't drive

you ever think about how rian johnson at one point thought about shooting miniatures for the space ships in last jedi instead of just using cgi.

i just think the vice president of the united states should have greater career ambitions than a fill in radio host.

i'm not saying the apps are good, but as someone terrible at just reading social cues and inferring if a person likes me, this has been a pretty clear win in my life.

Someone sat on this for eight years, but the guardian reporting on it as though the email just blew into Dan Hodge's office through an open window.

south park is even relevant again

root beer and coke are the same thing
