Holy shit this rules

you've heard of Bad Bunny, but have you ever considered the BEST bunny, el-Ahreirah, the Prince with a Thousand Enemies

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

British politics has lost a giant, a visionary. Who else could have conceived a strategy of "Labour's route to power goes through middle England marginals and involves appearing economically credible"? Who even believed it possible for a govt to alienate two thirds of its voters within 18 months?

Rate bit of good news here for Labour.

I'm SO mad, I got kidnapped by evil scientists and put in the evil science facility where they give you psychic powers and wings and stuff but I was in the control group so nothing happened

[sickos] Yes! Yes!

At an Eve wrestling show where a “fuck AI” chant broke out, which is pretty sweet

Somebody should invent a socioeconomic system which is good at allocating resources

Assume the Mandelson security vetting was along the lines of the Fry & Laurie Control sketch: “Are you a Russian spy?” “I am not a Russian spy, cross my heart and hope to die.” “Phew!”

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

Realising that at any one moment I have things to respond to on email, Teams, WhatsApp, Signal, Discord and by phone, and wondering why I find it hard to focus on anything

Just catching up on the AEW Blood & Guts matches from last year, and Mercedes Moné bringing in all of her twelve belts into the cage as weapons for her team mates is some absolute sicko shit

If you hear the name Kai Havertz and don't say "...and let slip the dogs of war" to yourself, you're an uncultured swine.

Been to a few of my friends’ creative project launches lately, and think it’s a failure of society that they have to scrabble to fit these in around day jobs and job hunting rather than just being able to do cool shit all the time. UBI now

Games Workshop: You get those drawings of the heroes of our brand new toy range? Will Rees: Sure did boss, real fuckin disgusting just like you asked. GW: what

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

One of the things that gets to me about the Peter Mandelson stuff is that presumably both his political career and his subsequent bank balance would have been better off without all the dodgy loans and tax avoidance schemes

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

In April 1976, in a café at Cambridge railway station, Douglas Adams bought some biscuits. We know this because he told the story so many times that it somehow opened up a wormhole in the space-time continuum, travelling both forwards and backwards and, intriguingly, sideways in time. (1/some...)

"average New Labour minister causes 3 scandals" factoid actualy just statistical error. average minister causes 0 scandals. Scandals Peter, who lives in cave & causes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

Went to a preview screening of the new Ben Wheatley film Bulk, which is a fun experiment in what if you tried to film an epic time travel sci fi film on a tiny budget of in one house in Brighton. It’s a bit Prisoner, it’s a bit Tarkovsky, it’s very 2000AD

Much as I appreciate that musical artists I like have to make a living, and being in a band is expensive, I’m not hugely keen on discovering that the tickets I bought are actually for a DJ set that goes on till 4 am

The ladies are queuing up to marry An Extremely Boring Man as young as possible.

Was reflecting on the difference between a dead rubber match in the UK (i.e. one that has no meaning) and a rubber match in the US, which is the deciding match in a series, but I guess the clue’s in the name really - a dead rubber is a rubber match where the outcome’s already determined

Be a force for good in the world if you can. After that, be a wrathful sea witch or an avenging shadow of the old forest, or something cool like that.

Went to my traditional one (1) Arsenal live match per year. Quite nice to have it be a Champions league match for a change, the Zadok the Priest intro music continues to be a banger

Was regretting not taking a note of a song I heard on 6music this morning, then discovered there’s a site that does live playlists of what it plays every day. The internet: it’s still good sometimes

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Rediscovered this band during my CD clearout this last weekend. I don’t listen to much post-rock these days but I’m not averse to it

This part. Celebrate every victory, large and small. Celebrate each other. Celebrate the love and solidarity that hold you together. Never stop doing this. It's fundamental.

One mark of a great scientist is that you can't tell which of their papers are motivated by curiosity and which are motivated by spite.

Does feel like they’ve reached a tipping point in the US, where the administration have realised that describing calm and reasonable protestors as crazed militants makes their lurid accounts of rampaging criminal migrants sound equally ridiculous

Blimey, he’s even lost Toynbee

If you need some extra distraction from *gestures broadly at everything,* Kilauea is here to help. The next eruptive episode, episode 41, looks to be kicking off right now! Fountains are starting to grow in height. USGS LIVE stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXKu...

Clearing out some old CDs this weekend, and it’s funny how the value of things changes over time - the expensive albums and box sets I saved up for: pretty much worthless. A compilation CD a friend made or debut album from a band’s merch table: precious treasure

[translating the ancient tome we found in the woods] it says something here about nothing beating a Jet2 holiday

We can build beautiful things in the darkest times. I’ve seen this all over the world, in Kurdistan and the Darién Gap and in the mountains and deserts of the borderlands. You can do it on your block now, it’s not special or hard, it’s how we are supposed to be and it’s inside all of us.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Guardian headline: 'use of ADHD meds has more than tripled!! 😱😭🚨' Article details: barely anyone who might need the meds has access to them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bone Temple Pilots was a good time, and you should all go see it so they can finish the trilogy
