To be fair Sinon is not a character in The Odyssey (he's in the Aeneid and the Posthomerica)

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

Did I...miss an episode of X-Men '97? Like the "previously ons" were for an episode that doesn't exist?

Frank Sandwich. This is what I imagine Frank Sandwich looks like. He played for the Giants in the 40s

"C.B. Cebulski...will be moving to Japan to spearhead the company’s push into manga" is an incredible sentence and thing to be happening.

1) McConnell is not dead 2) He is not in a coma 3) Even if he was in a coma, that doesn't create a vacancy 4) Even if there was a vacancy, Beshear doesn't get to appoint anyone 5) There is no reason to think Dems can win a special election in Kentucky 6) R senator who can't vote is good for Dems

So England lost but I must bring up that "Fat Les" the novelty band that did "Vindaloo", apparently followed that up with a mostly straight cover of "Jerusalem", except that the video has Keith Allen mugging and a drum line that makes you think it's going to turn into Vindaloo at any moment.

It is objectively insane that this is what the president of the United States does every fucking day. And this is like the more harmless bullshit compared to the vindictive authoritarian bullshit he also does every fucking day. But just this shit is disqualifying.

england and france in the third place match… we call that the 20th century

This is why England lost. They should have sung their version of Vindaloo

Wait, what? Surely the thing this dude is describing is in fact the thing people are blaming Tuchel for?

This is nuts

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan—IMAX had not yet been invented in the Mycenaean period, so this is not the aspect ratio that people saw in! Smh

So many fouls, so few shots

I think every "lol that's gender affirming care" take I've ever seen has been from a trans person?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, The ewok one, then a major dip; A baffling plot involving Amidala

As opposed to Sissy Spacek, famously ugly.

If you see this, post a robot.

So since a few people were interested in this, I'll post a bit of what I have written down, which is mostly a fake straight history of the office by some dry as dust late 20th century British historian who doesn't know what it really is. bsky.app/profile/john...

Like Napoleon, Mbappé and the French looked unstoppable until they took on the Spanish.

ugh, stupid Spain

Does the announcer think "Oyarzabal" is a Castilian name?

One of the ways the Starmer people went wrong I think is going beyond "showing you're not so left wing that it mobilises centre-centre right votes against you" to "repeatedly kicking the left". You want to be inoffensive enough not to scare the horses, not yelling "BOO!" at your own fucking horses

Okay, trying to figure out what's still to come in this countdown...off the top of my head: Secret Wars (2015), original Secret Wars (if that counts as an event; it didn't exactly have crossovers), original Crisis, Zero Hour, Mutant Massacre, Inferno, Age of Apocalypse, Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity

It's a great point, and of course the same can be said of today's game. If Spain wins, it'll put real fire behind the demand for Roussillon, Artois and the northern Cerdanya in the unwinding of the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees. If France wins, that should put the lid on it - for now!

1966 speculative fiction about 2026 might include artificial intelligence, pocket video phones and gene editing, but it probably wouldn’t include the Rolling Stones releasing their new studio album.

"Real Streaming Show or Something I Just Made Up?" would be a good game.

Ormund Hightower...man, this guy came out of nowhere, huh?

A few more questions we've received re: the PAYNE AT THE PUMP Program: Q. Will I be charged for watching MAJOR PAYNE while I get gas? A. No. Q. But if I press the MAJOR PAYNE button on the pump? A. Yes. Again, the MAJOR PAYNE button doesn't do anything but you will be charged $1.50 for each press.

Some questions we've been getting: Q. If it shows RENAISSANCE MAN instead of MAJOR PAYNE, can I switch it to MAJOR PAYNE? A. No Q. Can I get it to show me RENAISSANCE MAN instead? A. No. Q. If it does show RENAISSANCE MAN, can I watch it? A. Legally, no, but we can't currently stop you.

Yes, gas prices are going up but our new PAYNE AT THE PUMP program will make it fun for the whole family: now you can watch 1995's MAJOR PAYNE in 2.5 minute bites! Note: It will not remember what scenes you've already watched. And sometimes it will show 1994's RENAISSANCE MAN but we don't know why.

Are people getting mad and spinning conspiracy theories about Graham's sister being appointed to fill out his term? Why? Can't people just be normal?

I think men fundamentally always do moustaches as a joke initially. "Wouldn't it be funny if I had an old school waxed moustache?" And then suddenly it's ten years later and you're Waxed Moustache dude.

There is no "would" here. Platner did lose.

As always it was dumb to elect someone president who doesn't understand the idea of a positive sum game (or a negative sum game, for that matter).

Gonna take a victory lap for my remarkable prescience.

This theory looking better every minute. Strongly advise it for your future McConnell conspiracy theory needs.

I fucking told you he wasn't dead

You can - and should - shit on Graham's memory all you like yourself. Senators won't do so, and expecting them to do so and getting mad that they didn't is a waste of your own energy.

1) Everyone should say whatever they want about Lindsey Graham. Piss on his grave, absolutely, whatever, he sucked. 2) It is silly to expect that Democratic elected will join you in this, or even that they won't release anodyne statements praising him. Why make yourself angry about the latter?

This is the kind of McConnell conspiracy theory I can get behind.

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

While I do not mourn the late Senator Graham, I think it’s a bit unrealistic to expect even his most left-leaning colleagues to do a Fortnite dance and teabag his corpse.

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

You will notice that when Lindsey Graham died, his death was immediately announced.

he actually did the meme

Bringing one of the best tweets of all time over to Bluesky in honour of the Three Lions QF victory

Very sad I didn't get to do a "Keir Starmer can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating" skeet.

Real 30 Years War vibes to that promo for France/Spain just now. Spain are the "reigning kings of Europe" but can they hold off a rising France?

Count Binface is a political idealist, not a murderer.
