This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

They’ve got to make a true-crime style film about the Salt Path scam, but also starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.

It only took ten years for a dedicated bunch of well-connected weirdoes to get the entire UK elite to unite against a tiny minority of the population that they previously barely noticed. The few to resist, like Robin Ince, deserve our lasting gratitude and respect.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

If only there were a cautionary tale about being too eager to accept the apparent time-saving capabilities of new technology.

Between GW and OF male loneliness is keeping the UK alive

Can you imagine how much it would piss you off if the richest guy in your city put up a statue of his butler in your favorite park?

ian bogost getting the timeline riled up by ludocentrism posting….. i will sleep soundly in my bed tonight because obama is president and idle thumbs still puts out episodes weekly and i’ve got uni in the morning for it is 2015

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

I wonder how many people are gonna catastrophically fuck up thanksgiving by using chatgpt for their recipes

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

they’re targeting weeaboos

As Charles Grodin responded to all the griping about ISHTAR’s budget, “Why should the public be concerned what the budget of a movie is? Coca-Cola financed the movie. It's not as if Coca-Cola was going to give that money to the people of America rather than spend it.”

Will the Britcard get me 5% off Pizza Express? It sounds like it should get me 5% off Pizza Express

It speaks volumes about how unmoored Labour has become from the people who actually voted for it in 2024 (i.e. people in work) that the line on digital ID cards is just an obvious lie to anyone who has changed jobs in the past decade!

Unfortunately when you follow UK politics closely, you realise that around 80% of Westminster believe this kind of thing is very smart, and moreover, true.

Paranormal Activity is a movie about how even demons don't like being filmed without their consent.

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

I say this all the time: anti-stratfordian theories are based entirely on the idea that a great author has to be born upper class.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

One of my favorite Robert Redford stories is when Mike Nichols was considering him for "The Graduate" and told him he needed to act like a guy who has struck out with women and Redford replied "what do you mean?"

Imagine having such an incredible impact on American cinema while at the same time being one of history's greatest foxes, RIP Robert Redford

i think how we got here is that the right's favorite move is working the ref and the radical centrist's favorite move is self flattery that they could never be worked

aw man, RIP

[me, a journalist who spends all day every day on a social media app where the discovery algorithm is personally controlled by its owner, captain birdseye] you know, a lot of people are talking about fish fingers, we should probably cover that

One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.

“I’m an eleven, but continue.”

I think the thing I resent most about Starmer, aside from his politics, general demeanor, lack of competence, grating voice and fact that he looks photoshopped into every picture with him in it, is just that he refuses to do his fucking job at every turn.

They're also revealing their ignorance of the online economy. Kirk was doing the opposite of persuasion; he was chopping up clips of ill-informed students designed to reassure his followers that their opponents were all morons and it wasn't worth inquiring into their ideas any further

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

wild that MP3 is an audio file, MP4 is a video file, but MP5 is a submachine gun. Digimon-ass evolution line.

"why does restaurant food taste better than food cooked at home" The cook does not care if you live or die and uses salt and butter accordingly

Norris says he'd do the same thing but he moaned for about ten laps the last time something similar happened

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it deserves to be a game because the decisions you make are kind of the entire point I’m getting so sick of this idea that a game reaches its full potential when it’s adapted to a movie or show, some of them are games because they were meant to be games!

"All litfic is about horny professors" has the same aura as "filmbros get mad when you don't want to watch a 9-hour black and white Polish movie about a pigeon." Just admit that you're dumb

fired from my first day at waymo for suggesting they add a singular mannequin arm to each vehicle that can wave hi, signal "you go ahead" or engage in road rage

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

severely accurate

More true than I realized when I made it.
