Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

Reminder that British journalists have a weird fetish for Harry Potter because it's a fantasy world where nobody mentions how fucking weird it is that everybody was privately educated in just five schools

This week, us northern hemisphere folx will have made it through the darkest ten weeks of the year. The light is returning!

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Recently, as I was doing some deep breathing exercises in the vestry to cope with some nonsense at church, someone came up to me and said "these days I have to ask God for patience, because if I ask him for strength I'll deck a bitch." and honestly? Biblical levels of wisdom there.

me, playing a video game hitler made, with all funds going towards the hitler foundation with the express purpose of destroying your specific minority: "no it's just a good game and i like the IP, not hitler's other stuff"

Shall we examine the barriers to work? Shall we talk about the impact of covid, austerity and late stage capitalism on mental health? Shall we talk about the impact of societal hostility on minorities? What about the pitiful state of mental health research and services?? Nah, social media mate.

It is amusing to think that 40 years ago we had a nationwide panic to stop kids from playing Satanic RPG's that would warp their mind, when what we should have been doing was hunting down and destroying high school debate clubs with the ferocity of a Butlerian jihad.

Dear Brain. I turned you off and on again. Where are the good chemicals?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Post-dono Wagamama's, as a treat

I’ve gone from ‘this version of Labour wouldn’t have repealed Section 28’ to ‘this version of Labour would have enthusiastically introduced Section 28’

There's rain in Birmingham. Screw the grass, plants, or trees; the George needs this.

An entire night, dedicated to long knives? We are truly spoiled

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Surely it's only a temporary problem once a permanent solution is implemented?

Oh, you're a people pleaser? Then name 3 people who are pleased with you

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

people sometimes say ACAB doesn’t include Sam Vimes and I submit that this is exactly backwards ACAB absolutely includes Sam Vimes and nobody is more aware of that than Sam Vimes

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

@unarmedoracle.bsky.social The cold open of the most recent LRLive is just what I needed after a bit of a pants evening. Thank you

Recruitment should never have taken off as an industry Everything is worse because we let 22 year old deanos who played rugby and coasted to a 2:2 in clearingology from the faculty of humanities and clearing at the University of Clearing, who love Dubai, who know nothing, hire people.

Just in case anyone has decided they need to add 0.1 metric tonnes...

Back with the vampires, getting stabbed by a professional.

This is a perfect sentence: "All we’ve gotten in the past decade is example after example of how little these people know about anything other than making apps that destroy something you previously loved, by hollowing it out into a subscription service that no longer works and everyone hates."

This really nails it all too

I wouldn't say oblivious, per se, more that I don't believe it would be in anyone else's best interest to do it

WHY IS THE UK SO HARRY POTTER THEMED WHEN WALLACE AND GROMIT IS RIGHT THERE

There are piles of "stuff" in the single room at my parents'. Ornaments moved when redecorating three years ago. Kids toys from my niblings, which can't be gotten rid of. Kids toys from when I was a child, that haven't been gotten rid of. The dehumidifier, vacuum, tower fan.

I'm falling asleep She's calling a cab He's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Mr Brightside's coming to town.

wait why wouldn’t i want a permanent solution to a temporary problem. that way the problem doesn’t show up again. are these therapists nuts or something that’s a bargain

Breathtaking levels of cognitive dissonance

In my B-minor era

Took my mum and sister for the @mincemeatlive.bsky.social matinée, both loved it! Thrilled to have seen the new cast and the expanded set, cannot recommend highly enough

AWW YEAH!!! I finished the piece inspired by @thelongestjohns.bsky.social ! I heard their song Moby Duck a while back, and immediately knew I wanted to draw something, but make it 'Straya. So this is set on the wonderful Lake Wendouree, with one of our native Wood Ducks taking the part of Moby Duck.

Today I recorded a Radio 4 show about the neuroscience of love, to be broadcast soon. But it led to a realisation, and I think it's important. Allow me to explain. So, to begin, why do humans fall in love? Why do our brains make us do that? The truth is complex and confusing. However... /1

Another Good Omens twitter classic that must be preserved.

I was 21 once upon a time
