ok who did this? ☹️

Oh man, this actually worked

I love a good paywall fade into madness, especially when it has just given a really good explanation just beforehand. www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-...

Because AWS is down, I can’t turn on my heating.

This morning I was woken up by a text from my washing machine at 6am.

Maggie’s woke now lads.

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm. Real life:

"Parking is such sweet sorrow"

Not content with murdering humans now they are murdering jokes.

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

And here was the inspiration, Michelle Dorrell, the woman who voted Tory and then got upset the Tories cut her working Tax Credits

Yes let’s trust idiots instead. That should work.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

Veteran FBI agent Habeas “Habie” Corpus has been suspended

How does he keep getting these exclusives?!?

*gasp*

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

In Portland, Oregon,(DHS) and (ICE) used pepper spray on the breathing hole of a peaceful protester who was wearing a blow-up frog costume.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Next time Farage or one of his mates is on Question Time getting applause for stopping/reversing immigration, may I suggest the following riposte: 'Everyone who just applauded needs to think hard what they were applauding. Without significant immigration, this country will become a catastrophe.' /1

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

WOW WOW WOW, this is *amazing*. Truly amazing stuff! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Depressing beyond belief that so many of my compatriots think Britain should follow this moronic conspiracy theorist’s lead. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

"Luke...on balance it's in my financial interest to reinstate being your father"

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Surprised nobody thought of this before

Patrick Minford's the nearest thing we've got to Tommy Cooper..

Worth repeating a million times.

And I think about all of you, too.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

This is so spot on

Maybe if we give the far-right more facts and context, they’ll receive them in good faith and see the errors in their analysis

This is *immensely* stupid advice. They don’t use energy while they’re sitting on a hard drive not being accessed. They very much use energy while you’re going through them all and deleting them. It’s also a fraction of a fraction of the energy saving you’d make by driving less or similar.

Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
