Joyce Carol Oates sitting across a desk from Kendrick Lamar: "So I'm putting a team together..." Isaac Chotiner knocks on the open door.

Prof Rosemary Cramp. Exceptional archaeologist who didn't suffer fools but did enjoy a joke or three.

Akkademia.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team. Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

Not so sure about Andrew's new title but I suppose it is at least accurate.

Nice to see baseball finally admit that 5 days is the correct length of time for a proper game of sport.

But have you seen a photo of him? More like Isaac Thotiner amirite?

Cygnet failures

"And we're off to County Hall where I understand there's been a Reform Suspension but for who Chris Kamara?"

This shows that people have legitimate concerns about Reform and that we should debate their basic existence for every minute of every hour of every day.

DEI Obsession Destroys Right Winger’s Brain

At the going down of the thongs, and in the morning, We will remember them. And hopefully put them through the wash. (There were more, far cruder jokes here, but have some #respect. Or not)

Böcker the net *Partridge fist pump*

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Cymru 1, Russia nil.

The Divine Shite of Kings.

Fake bush is merkin a comeback.

1. On political gaslighting. Yesterday Jenrick defended his comments on Handsworth by lashing out at 2 pieces of work I was centrally involved with to imply it's people like me who are divisive, not him...

This is almost certainly because she thinks she is Lord Vetinari, which in a way is correct because she is in fact Cosmo Lavish.

"So you're saying it goes round and round in circles before careering wildly to the right and flying off-track when there's too much power?" "Yes, but enough about the Tory Party, let's play Scalextric."

Three strokes and out?

Damn tricky the Dutch.

"We've always been in a trade war with Eastasia"

Harry Potter fan who fell into a coma shortly after reading The Deathly Hallows wakes up in 2025

Sure, go and see all the big acts doing the Riyadh Comedy Festival but don't forget those just starting out by doing the RCF Free Fringe in tiny blacked-out rooms in embassy basements.

Some of this is all Greek to me (but it's also all geek to me, and more importantly all very funny).

There's always money in the donkey sanctuary.

"Taking the nuns mudlarking" feels like it should be a euphemism but probably for something actually quite cute and nice.

The State Visit went so well he's declaring war on Dorset.

"He's always waving red flags"

"Port timetables say the ship will be tugged to Cockle Buoy." We've all had those nights.

I don't think you understand how angry it makes me to have to defend London, a place I enjoy dumping on for purely adversarial reasons, against the wild, screaming derangements of a permatanned syphilitic moron.

Typical. You wait for ages for a Rapture and then none come along all at once.

From Dartford in the North to Dungeness in the South, a Gammon Curtain has fallen on Southeastern England.

Anti-autism campaigner, Karen Hoyland, 40, commented: “I love my child but I hate his autism. The other day I came home to find him lining up his guns, instead of playing with them like a normal kid.”

That Farage is treated seriously shows how degraded the politics in the UK habe become. Barring absolute far right racists, anyone with half a brain cell can see this latest raft of proposals would utterly destroy the UK, as well as the lives of migrants. 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Just a lovely day to be messing about in boats.

Readimix has done all the prep beforehand but can Instantmix rush in and get all the glory?

"For the last time Donald. I am not the fucking butler."

"You've let me down, you've let the squadron down... and worst of of all you've let yourself down."

This seems fair, I still have my free Revolutionary Communist Party balaclava that I received in Big School for my spirited debate "Behead The Aristos: Why won't Mater and Pater let me go to Secret Garden Party with Tufty and Pongo?"

Might as well demo the full set.

All of this. It's no good trying to play nice and "understand" why people are espousing racist ideology. We have tried that. We ended up allowing racists to feel emboldened. The only option to confront racism is to call it out. If people don't like being called racist they should stop doing racism.

We're finally going to find out Keir's Fuck Marry Kill
