It is a universal form of comparative measurement. As in smaller than a bread bin, but larger than a baby’s forearm

i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

Wait, if your player is suspended for sexual harassment, you're allowed to release them? Do the #Argos know this? #CFL

Well, neither have made a good album since 2016, if that helps your argument

Sitting in car near a chick-fil-a and harshly judging everyone who goes in. You hate LGBTQ and so do you. And yes, even you.

Yah know, you don’t have to accept every Conservative who wants to cross the aisle. This is no longer the party that most people voted for.

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

Think I’ve got the lyrics slightly wrong. Hello Muddah Hello Faddah Here I am at Camp Granada I feel stupid And contagious Something something something.

I really don't want to have to spend over a grand to replace my phone because app developers have decided to change the minimum ios requires. Yes, yes my iphone is almost 10 years old...blah blah blah blah. Anyone know of a good source for phones?

A bad cold means I’ve been stuck in my room for 4 days to protect my immune compromised sister. Getting very bored. So bored.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

Explosion at Richmond and John. Be safe everyone

The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

Okay, I know you said no humans. A first contact between aliens and humanity. Humans are desperately trying to figure why they are here. Turns out it’s a group of pre-adults & a parental unit here for a Taylor Swift concert. Space #Swifties what more could you want?

No, @ybnormal.bsky.social you can't go.

And if you’re still on Twitter, you are supporting him and his message.

Super smart sleuth determines person was murdered by poison from a dart frog, who was kept captive in the lab. Only wild dart frogs are poisonous. Captive frogs don’t eat the correct insects to create the poison. So, there’s a giant plot hole for the show.

An anti-masker is found dead from nicotine poisoning. Suspicion falls on Pandlefoot Bailey’s angry old-age pensioner, disturbed that new beekeeping methods might threaten the appointment of a US-style 'Special Counsel' to investigate Barnaby's shortcomings.

the thing men really want is a small vehicle to carry objects from place to place and the devious sexual industrial complex has convinced men that this natural instinct has something to do with procreation

Children at an Edinburgh hospital painted pebbles for the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo and will be able to watch them choose and present them to their mates via livestream. #SundayMorning

This winter in Toronto has been so overcast and rain heavy, I finally understand why British people are like that. Honestly id become a TERF too if I had to live with this weather constantly

Because of the order of events (and my pedantry) I couldn’t put the best picture at the top of the thread, so just in case you didn’t see it…

On this day in 1944, The Sketch reported that Noël Coward’s Post Mortem, set during WWI, had had its world premiere during WWII. The lead character’s mother was played by… er, Brian McIrvine. Why? Well, the show took place in Oflag VII.b, a POW camp in Eichstätt 🧵

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

It’s the 119th anniversary of ‘Typhoid Mary’ being arrested in New York – and not without some difficulty... 🧵

Threads is pretty bleh, but on the positive side, every once in a while Spike Lee will show up in an artist's mentions and offer to buy their work, which is pretty cool

Perfect

Haha, I always read his name as Nathan Phillips SQUARE.

Today what I would usually say about "hey people's place of business is not a place for you to cause chaos, people are just trying to work, you hooligans" has been replaced by "lol I mean fuck target tho"

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Well, if it’s 15 March, we could commemorate the 2,070th anniversary of the doing in of Julius Caesar... or we could note that it’s 70 years since My Fair Lady opened on Broadway, and use that as an excuse to trot out one of the finest of all theatrical anecdotes... 🧵

My earlobe has started to bleed for no reason. Luckily I have a pack of "ManWipes" handy. Just like regular baby wipes, but the packaging is black and costs 3 times as much. Yes, it is bleeding, but I've got a box of regular unbranded tissues to use.

Hopefully with the popularity of this production, I can finally get funding for my play - The Unbearable Lightness of Being Ernest Scared Stupid

Due to some wrinkle in the space-time continuum, cartoonist Hank Ketcham’s syndicated namesake character debuted in 16 American newspapers on exactly the same day as the British Dennis, apparently inspired by a real-life four-year-old by that name – Ketcham’s son

Schrödinger: okay, so there’s a cat in a box Friend: right Schrödinger: and because you can’t see in the box, the cat’s state is uncertain Friend: oh! So it could be both eating a little snack and not eating a little snack! Schrodinger: oooh, yeah. maybe should’ve gone with that.

This is supposed to be a great production and masterful performances.

Ah the first smell of skunk of the spring.
