JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

The episode of The Simpsons where Mr Burns blocks out the sun will look different to future generations, he will be held as a hero and the vile assassination attempt will have people calling for Maggie’s head

Imagine thinking English speakers should refer to Germany as Deutschland but not Wales as Cymru because you're vomiting up stale meme garbage about the Welsh language

Dying on the tram and man got on wearing full suit. What the fuck.

They’re calling it the least comprehensible achievement of all time.

I am begging the yanks to stop having takes on British politics

There is a festival on so there are a bunch of youths on the tram. Anyway the point is that I regret to inform everyone that jorts are back.

Starmer to take full advantage of all the possibilities of legs

Okay, it is quite funny that coping Starmerites set Burnham a ridiculously high bar that he cleared

Watching journalists and pollsters desperately trying to pretend they weren't calling the Makerfield by-election a close call and a dangerous gamble a couple of hours ago is hilarious. The UK press are fucking awful at their jobs. Need to get off Twitter and speak to actual humans.

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

Breaking news: Derbyshire Police has launched a criminal investigation and removed an officer from frontline duties over allegations of use of AI to "create evidential material in a number of cases": as.ft.com/r/46862d95-f...

Fate/Stay Night episode 23 aired 20 years ago on June 10!

Let me check things out

Stephen King's editor:

At first I wasn't sure if First Light really captured that Bond feeling properly, but then I met the genius algae scientist with an incredible arse and realised that it had met the James Bond brief perfectly.

audible "fuck yeah" on seeing this picture

JFK completes mostly successful Dallas parade.

This is like the burning of the library of Alexandria for extremely online millennials

Wes Streeting, with your face looking like you asked ChatGPT to render an image on Tintin out of ham

Sources close to Brutus say that he is holding off on triggering the assassination as he is confident that Senate colleagues will convince Caesar to stab himself

A t-shirt I have had for 20 years just ripped. While it was basically see through and had long been relegated to pajama duties I can't help but feel it's loss. God speed you t-shirt, you will always be in our hearts.

hard times create hard eggs

Mate fuck off and give me chaos with Ed Millband already

Interesting analysis for those of us interested in hope and aware of the big graph that shows Reform peaked in October last year and is sliding inexorably down.

Maybe Labour will finally realise that telling all their supporters to fuck off and vote for someone else was a bad strategy? More likely they will just blame poor people and be more racist.

This is a funny story, because I'm pretty sure every industry on earth has invented an award so they can give them and their friends an award every year. This guy just messed up by doing it on his own instead of colluding with some other literature professors. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Really an incredible frame from the WHCD shooting.

Because Die Hard was an adaptation of the book Nothing Lasts Forever, Frank Sinatra had right of refusal on the lead role as he had starred as the lead in the adaptation of a previous book in the series. Die Hard 2 was also adapted from a book but one completely unrelated and by a different author.

So are Americans just really bad at aiming or what?

Starmer is now in the position where the only reason he's still around is that replacing him would be a ballache. Finally he has a way to connect with British workers

This is the crux of the matter for me, everyone knew, and also the defense of 'he wasn't told' requires you to forget how linear time works, and the fact that Starmer had already announced the appointment and put Mr Noncington-Friend to work before they had time to do a check.

i love her

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

Exactly one year ago today:

Mobster voice: "ya don't have to worry about him no more. He's had a meetin' with the vice president, if you catch my meaning."

It's kind impressive just how fucking hard Orban has lost despite trying every dirty trick in the book. Anyway hopefully his next move is going to prison or dying.

This joke is so fucking good, I'm kind of annoyed it's on such a dumb website

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Why the fuck are we still letting the Americans use RAF bases to commit war crimes, particularly given that their president has gone on TV and explicitly stated he is going to do war crimes. There isn't even a cynical defence to be made by the government.

I've spent an entire day thinking about how great this is. Whenever I pick up a pen I aspire to write something as wonderful as this.
