'Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone you have to build a civilization. Which is where the spirit cards come in'

The return of Bill Clinton getting sucked off to national politics is like when the villain from the first season of an anime comes back for a return several seasons later

“The reminders that your life may be temporary are a constant drain on your mental health. The big news announcements from all the parties take their toll. It’s always there in your mind that your way of life can be taken away from you.“

This is an excellent BTS image from ALIEN 1979 - it really shows the scale of the jockey and the detail of not only the pilot but the floor and the wall. This is why physical sets are awesome. As viewers it's tangible and real, and as actors they have something physical to properly react to.

If you didn't know who this guy was, you wouldn't be able to guess if he was a Labour, Reform, or Tory candidate. And that's a super quick guide to British politics in 2025.

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

one of the most incredible things about the ballymaloe thing is the fact that they came out with this statement, essentially saying "WELL ACTUALLY, he ONLY had 92 images, not 1,000 so it's not as bad as everyone's making it out to be"

Jesus having the term “in-app purchases” explained to him and just wordlessly filling a sock with nickels

Damn, it really is hard to miss it when someone has been cast out of the Circle of Trust, isn’t it

i tweeted this when David Lynch passed and i just keep thinking about how there have been so many Lauras and how rare his kindness for her was.

November 14th: A stupid sexy partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing...

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

Posting a death threat on a Friday night would actually be a really funny way to take a weekend break from Bsky.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

Wes Streeting looks like Pinocchio if, instead of becoming a real boy, he’d turned into an Assistant Manager at a branch of Currys.

*bangs table* CHAOS WITH ED MILIBAND

Hidden in the controversial about UK "choking ban" proposal are a host of even more egregious proposals that could: * make camming illegal * redefine escort ads as pimping * render model contracts unenforceable * criminalize discussions of teen sexuality And a whole lot more ...

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

3h 🎵 I feel a ban a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't been on Twitter since - I don't know when I'm stuck here on Bluesky, and time keeps dra-ggin' on But if the mods gonna boot me, I'm off to Mas-to-don 🎶

god, rich people really do just send emails like this

I am deliriously laughing at the image of Boebert facing dawning revelation that she's actually found the pedophile elite conspiracy ring and that she's standing right in the middle of it

jeffrey epstein won't see your jokes about how poorly written his emails were, but your barely literate friends also won't see them, because they can't read. fire away

Today I learned that the same prop U-boat was used In Raiders of the Lost Ark and Das Boot Both films were shot in La Rochelle at the same time (even this blows my mind) and the prop company rented out Das Boot's sub to Steven Spielberg for a week, forgetting to paint the right number back on after

Mamdani has the chance to do the funniest thing ever on his first day

notably he stole this idea from the slap drones in the Culture books. if you calculate the walking time from Scotland to Texas under the ocean you should be able to work out when Iain Banks' wrathful revenant will make it to him.

every morning Keir Starmer calls an aide into his room at 6.30am to film him doing bicep curls "leak this to the Daily Mail" he says between grunts. "say that friends of Keir are concerned about how strong he is right now" the aide nods, holding up the phone. it's not filming. it's never filming.

All those flags ... that's a pretty challenging golf course.

This is ART

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act. The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

This is even funnier than it just being Streeting on manoeuvres.

Gonna tell my kids this was Fleetwood Mac

Important first aid tip here.

"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

Just like the Hannibal-esque Tumblr fungus post permanently etched on my brain, you cannot kill James Bond in a way that matters. He can die one million times and make us feel it every time and pop back up just fine with zero diminishing returns. He is the Wile E. Coyote of espionage.

The only James Bond movie I would like to see is an accurate adaptation of the Fleming novels where he is a sociopathic enforcer and hired killer for the flailing British Empire that’s in terminal decline in the mid 1950s and they would never ever make that movie.

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

Of course, because this is precisely why they were put up and what they’re for.
