lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

Fun fact, most catholics get yelled at by the pope exactly zero times in their whole lives but Censures Georg here has managed it like five times in six years

this joani news drop is so funny. getting wankered and trying to fuck a nuclear submarine captain is, unfortunately, incredibly chic in a cold war kind of way

I’m glad that people are realising the intricacies of Chinese cuisine and that it’s more than deep-fried carbs. unfortunately authentic Chinese breakfasts really are mainly deep-fried carbs

I'm pretty sure this is how we ended up giving cows BSE

A lot of otherwise smart people around who apparently don’t know how to properly articulate the simple sentence “I have completely fucked it in the worst possible way, sorry about that”.

Honestly wild that the people who have been saying "we obviously need to get out of NATO now that it's led by a country having a spasm of deranged fascism" have been told they're lunatics and monsters all year, and then this guy just says "yeah they were right, fuck the very concept of an alliance."

I’d add that the public quickly and clearly clocking Morgan as a fraud and liar, on minimal exposure to his horseshit, does not reflect terribly well on the men and women who stampeded every dumb and obviously dishonest thing he said onto front pages and the top of broadcast news, for seven years.

5-Year-Old Kojima Tweeting: 10:57: Just Ate "Twix Snickerdoodle". Wow! I enjoyed the subversion of the 'Cookie Element', and the lingering sweet flavor. This dessert makes one question what the nature of COOKIE and CANDY truly is. It is a rare "treat" for fans of the genre.👍 18:32: Ate "Broccoli".

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

Marco Rubio: "Imagine an Iranian regime who instead of spending billions.. building up all these weapons had invested that money into Iran for the people of Iran" The US defence budget is currently around $900 billion/year and the US doesn't have universal healthcare

This is largely by design. If we stop thinking about AI as simply technology and instead as part of a political and economic program, its chief function become easier to see: namely to erode interpersonal trust so that ultimately we give up on forms of agreement & negotiation arbitrated by people.

4.32am… going back for more alienating my allies

Iran as it successfully resists American and Israeli aggression and continues hitting targets around the region

That's right

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

i thought iran was already super mega totally defeated times a million. someone should let them know

neither a garrison state nor an apartheid state, just a normal country, a bastion of democracy even, that happens to subject an ethnically distinct population to a different, militarized legal system complete with capital punishment

it’s genuinely insane that the billionaire class openly opines about taking over all information ecosystems to spout whatever agendas they want. sick society we allow the rich to act like this

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

I mean it's just breathtaking, it's taken one month from "we've killed your supreme leader and are demanding regime change" to "well I guess you guys officially own one of the key strategic chokepoints on which the world energy trade relies now"

It’d be pretty wild then, if we’d just had a decade of roaring abuse for people who think this way

@postoctobrist.bsky.social just discovered a 1978 BBC docuseries, The Hong Kong Beat, which is about the RHKPF and is all on archive.org. we may finally learn what was inside the mobile canteen unit archive.org/details/hk-b...

If only there had been a group urging those driving the economy to just stop using oil

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

We are in the midst of an industrial revolution based almost entirely on solar and battery tech. If there's any single reason to have hope for global sustainability it's shit like this. Solar and battery tech is becoming so affordable that it's saving lives at scale by offering affordable cooling.

this is actually just the way chris mason talks about politics

the American people long for the hukou system

imagine the Pope personally calling you a fake bitch who's going to hell lol

INT. OFFICE BREAK ROOM 40 YEAR OLD: Did you catch that new Harry Potter show last night? 45 YEAR OLD: Of course! Oooh I'm so excited for it! 40 YEAR OLD: Ooooghh I hope he does well in his classes. 45 YEAR OLD: I hope we see the child's first kiss with a girl! 40 YEAR OLD: We're normal for watching

Gosford Park (2001) Gosford World (2015) Gosford World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Niles: It wasn‘t really your finest hour, was it? Fraiser: I thought it was a novel idea for treatment. How was I meant to recognise the great clown Pagliacci without makeup?

I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them

(bastard born like ten feet outside of Winterfell's territorial boundary) hey how's it going, name's Jim Dogshit

This is from a Laura Kuenssberg interview. If, say, Seumas Milne set private investigators on a Times politics journalist, sent a dossier calling him a foreign agent to CCHQ then started phoning politicians and journos to tell them said politics hack was working for the Russians: what would happen?

i’ve literally watched this like 30 times since last night and it only keeps getting more funny
