@ratboysband.bsky.social I really like your album

Kind of feel like Infinite Jest’s modern reputation is because of a couple of specific guys that annoyed a lot of New York culture writers in about 2008. It’s really good!

If I woke up in a hospital, the most reassuring person I could imagine looking down at me is Kermit so I’m extremely relieved that the new Muppet Show was SO good

'Granted, if our problem were orcs or the Dark Lord Sauron or something, then it would be easier to sympathise with Martin’s insistence that he is not Gandalf. Until then, it seems fair enough to ask for some semblance of a real, timely solution.' This week's column is about Magic Wand Micheál.

They hit him so hard rings popped out like Sonic

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

omg they recreated tom daley’s bicep tattoo

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

thank you elliott! and the same to you!

I feel like… The president…. Might not… Consider Black people… …to be his equals

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/igno...

If this guy was given three wishes he’d end up trapped inside the lamp.

‘The show delivers fulsomely, and it probably delivers even more if you’re not watching through the same lens as me (completely freaking out that if they mess this up, then I can kiss The Muppet Show goodbye for another 45 years).’ They let me review the new Muppets Show special-slash-pilot.

Ahead of the 6Nations it's time for the obligatory Jamie Heaslip tweet

Ok so I counted our mugs and (including Christmas mugs) we have eighty-three(83) mugs. I just like mugs ok, they look nice and you don’t need to spend money getting them framed and hanging them up like other art

North Cork, actually. Practically Tipperary.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

somebody’s sweet plums are crowding my icebox somebody’s cold plums are giving me chills

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

the Lord is my shepherd, He shaves my entire body to make sweaters

It’s a lot of mugs (we have a similar amount, though) My parents (just the two of them, in one house) have this much cutlery

These are amateur numbers. If you drink a lot of tea, you want to switch it up. True mugheads have Nice mugs that they only use for after dinner

Cannot tell you how much I adore this clip from 1941 of women from the Western Isles of the Outer Hebrides singing as they work their Harris Tweed. It was shot by the Oscar winning cinematographer JACK CARDIFF.

Who could this be? Hmm…

Saw someone PERFECTLY describe J.D. Vance's trying-too-hard-to-be-internet-edgelord personality as "the first adult groomed by teens" and I'd add that he's also trying to fully embody 'Divorced Guy Energy' while remaining married.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Ok so couldn’t help but notice this guy in the pool changing rooms get dressed in this chaotic order.. T-shirt ➡️ sweatshirt ➡️ COAT ➡️ Hat ➡️ scarf ➡️ socks ➡️ jeans ➡️ shoes What kind of psychopath?!

BREAKING: New SNL UK line up revealed

Elon not being happy despite having all the money is like someone losing at a game in tutorial mode, which he also does

Muppet Dr. Robby haunting my every waking thought

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.

To everyone who received a book from me as a Christmas present, they are due back at the library tomorrow..

ME: I caught Monocle Guy stealing my leftovers again. BOSS: Is that true? MONOCLE GUY: (monocle popping off) Good heavens!! ME: He’s not actually surprised. BOSS: Really? He seems surprised. MONOCLE GUY: (another monocle popping off) Dearest me!! ME: No, he’s doing a bit. BOSS: Hm. I don’t know

The most chaotic man I know once collared an acquaintance in a pub and insisted on buying him a drink. He ordered 2 Fat Frogs, then announced he had no money. The already shellshocked acquaintance handed him a 50 which he passed to the barman saying "keep the change"

This is from my book THEM. It was back in 1998, and I was outside a Bilderberg meeting having just been chased through Portugal by their shadowy henchmen… (H/T @isaac_kh on X)

Incredible hot take in the letters page of Melody Maker in ‘65, after a big piece on Motown.
