Paul Merton was on HIGNFY last week cosplaying as some sort of mid point between William Hartnell and Colin Baker’s Dr Whos.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

I tell you what, having an American pope has not gone how I expected at all.

7-Year-Old Unable To Maintain Single Cohesive Storyline While Playing With Action Figures https://theonion.com/7-year-old-unable-to-maintain-single-cohesive-storyline-1819578954/

What the Loony Left doesn’t understand is that the healthier and stronger you are, the more frequently you go to the doctor for mysterious exams.

Just sorting through some boxes and unearthed my Beast Wars Transmetals figures and damn, they’re still amazing. The colours, the chrome, the styling, the imagination. “This robot turns into both a tarantula and a motorbike” is not a premise that should have such a great result.

Author of this thinks nobody reads Pratchett any more because most of his readers have blocked her.

He just wants time to practice.

It was worth complaining to my friends about how snooty the new Oakridge mall in Vancouver is gonna be, because now they're trolling through the online store directory and I can't stop laughing.

My dream for a Metroid movie - and I appreciate this will never happen - is that they don't tell you in advance who is playing Samus and you only find out at the end of the film when she removes her helmet. Like Karl Urban as Dredd taken up to 11.

Ironically, Helen Lewis has big "there was *such* a large queue in the ladies I thought I'd just nip here into the gents, hope none of you lads mind" entitled energy. As if there are never queues in men's toilets.

It's not for everyone, and it never was. Choosing not to have kids is as valid a choice as choosing to have kids. And you should *NEVER* ask someone why they don't have kids. Because it's none of your business.

Minor PS: if my last article about an author’s political stances led to a direct refutation by that author’s daughter, I would simply fade away from the mortification, but I guess some people lack the organ of shame.

Sometimes as an NYT books columnist you find yourself quoted in the Atlantic by Helen Lewis, who believes two odd things: 1. That nobody is reading Pratchett anymore (instead of all the time, as they should), and 2. That Pratchett’s politics are hard to pin down, and Reg Shoe is not a fucking hero.

Quite right too. Really annoyed me that commentary tried to handwave away the seriousness of Russell having a tantrum and lobbing bits of his car onto the track.

'You have to feel for George Russell here' - and yet I don't, curious

My god, they've literally done "she's got a new hat!" as a store exclusive variant of a brand new product.

imagine going back to 2014 and telling your former self that JK Rowling, in conjunction with the cybernats, under the supervision of the daily mail would turn the equality act into the most draconian anti-trans law in Europe. like actually imagine how insane you would sound

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

The hidden arrow in the FedEx logo is design perfection. Paris Tennis School: Tiens ma bière.

The little red fox that made his way to New York this year on a ship from England — and wound up at the Bronx Zoo — needed treatment for a serious infection. On Friday, after about three months of treatment, officials declared him fully healthy.

Only 90s British kids will get this

The important point to remember is NO SHE DOESN'T. What was published yesterday were guidelines for service providers. They impose NO obligations on individuals and are NOT the law. People want you to believe otherwise, to intimidate trans people. But they haven't yet criminalised their existence.

Woke from a dream that was like No-one Lives Forever meets Eternal Darkness. Apart from the fact I forgot the controls, it worked pretty well.

If anyone is so bothered by what bits the person in the next toilet cubicle has maybe they should go deal with their own shit at home instead of making it anyone else’s problem. Fucking toilet weirdos.

This is what I mean about it being unworkable, btw - there's literally no provision in any law for removing someone from a given toilet. Toilets aren't legally protected spaces. What this does is simply create a disincentive for a trans person to risk being trans in public.

If you stray even slightly from stereotypical masculine or feminine traits you can absolutely be banned from services because someone decides you’re not looking girly or blokey enough. Fuck sake. This fucking shower of piss government.

Aberdeen FC. Bravo. 👏

9x12 Dark Knight in Full Color Took an old drawing and added some Ohuhu markers to practice my hand coloring

“Watch to the end” = I didn’t bother trimming this video down to just the interesting bit, please hold on til it gets interesting.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Another find from the loft clear out: an issue of Computer Shopper from 1999. This thing is insane. Weighs over a kilo and is about 3cm thick. It is so stuffed full of retailer inserts that you can't easily go through it but it seems to be 60% ads on the regular pages anyway.

The second Trump administration is the largest criminal enterprise in American history and it’s not even close.

Streeting getting the kind of numbers the fake opposition candidates under dictatorships get when the leader is in a particularly good mood that day

Early Mario merch is creepy AF.

In past interviews Wes Streeting has been remarkably open about his strategy for a future leadership campaign "Tack left" Even invoked Starmer's 2020 platform as a "succesful" precedent www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I could really live without Dan Ticktum having success in Formula E, but it is nice seeing Idris Elba as a successful team owner.

Fucking eBay "simple" fucking delivery. Sold an action figure part that's a large letter size, easily. I'd set it with free postage when I listed it ages ago. Sold last night and I found I'd been auto-charged for it being a 2kg small parcel, because eBay had changed it without telling me.

This headline confused the shit out of me until I realised it was a Dutch website.

Flat Slippy 🐸
