Genuinely delighted by someone asking this question, seemingly in good faith and getting a stream of fairly polite replies that all add up to ”Vatican II might have done away with hell BUT NOT FOR CROMWELL BITCH”

A professional writer using AI to actually write baffles me. But even to research, I cannot think of something less suited to AI than assessing *an unpublished book*. Nothing online about it! The text isn't there! Etc! It raises the possibility they put the pdf into the AI, too, of course…

Dog lmao

Imagine how much progress Albo could make if he wasn’t hellbent on distancing himself from the Greens even when he obviously agrees with them

one of the really gross aspects of the AI zombie resurrection thing we should (carefully!!!!!) discuss more is the fact that this is not what Val Kilmer looked like when he died. they don’t want the human Val Kilmer. they want a simulacrum of the idealized memory of him you have in your mind

Keeping it youthful and fresh by talking like an incel and picking up a ketamine habit.

I saw this in Sydney in 2009, London in 2012 and finally Adelaide this past weekend which means I've spent 24 hours (including intervals) watching this show and goddamn it I'D DO IT AGAIN.

As if WNBA teams needed more reasons to fear A’ja Wilson.

Some SGA fun facts: - On pace to be the first player since Michael Jordan in 1993 to have 4 straight 30 PPG seasons - On pace to have the 2nd-highest TS% in a 30 PPG season all-time, behind Steph Curry. - On pace to lead the NBA in 30-point games for the fourth straight season.

I choose to think of Dort as Thunder’s dirty player karma finally arriving, he’ll commit one flagrant foul for every time Draymond kicked Steven Adams in the nuts or Pat Bev took a hammer to Russ’ knee

Shai hit that game winner the night he tied Wilt for most consecutive 20 point games in history

Look, I do think explaining the virtue of British soldiers to a guy from Belfast does help explain why her career stalled out.

i love labor protest and solidarity, but also staying this still during 'gasolina' is terrifying

here’s what the Kyle and Jackie O split could mean for your grocery bill

“It doesn’t have to be like this. While our healthy life expectancy has been dropping, in Sweden it has been rising. That’s real progress. Not GDP going up 0.1% or Rachel Reeves forecasting an extra couple of billion in fiscal headroom – but whether you live or die, are well or sick.”

I feel like the prime minister and I might have different definitions of the word “participated“

This is the basis on which Starmer was elected Labour leader.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

Really interesting piece. Obviously fame has always had protective properties but the collapse of traditional media over the last decade has really cooked people’s expectations. “It’s unethical to ask him something he’s not prepared for”, bro that is/used to be journalism!

underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

And Matt Goodwin who DID NOT win

WAKE UP UK, A GOOD THING HAPPENED FOR ONCE

My partner and I have smashed through three seasons of Industry in three weeks and I still couldn’t tell you what any of their jobs are, what their company does, why they keep calling themselves a bank, whether “hedging“ is related to hedge funds, if Harper is a sociopath or a psychopath etc

We’ve seen neo-Nazis attack Camp Sovereignty, white supremacist terrorism unleashed against Aboriginal people on Invasion Day in Boorloo, and now our Muslim brothers and sisters being targeted during Ramadan. The Albanese Government must treat this as the national security threat it is.

Prince Andrew was famously the Queen’s favourite child so letting this happen is honestly an inspirational level of sibling revenge from old Chuckles

“He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.” Statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family on the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, read out on BBC News.

Going to a Mardi Gras pool party tonight and feeling extremely Ageing Queer about it

“Cant believe it. I wanna run to u” is so embedded in my lexicon that sometimes I don’t take the time to honour its source. Thanks Wayne 🫡

A new video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows the full minute leading up to a man in a white business shirt being punched several times by NSW Police at Monday night’s protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

The perpetrators - who look remarkably like members of the black-shirted mob that marched on NSW Parliament last month without any interference 🧐

Is this the social cohesion we were promised when the government welcomed Herzog to our country?

Dawg that’s an entertainer

oooo lady gagita

My millennial ass screaming JESSICA ALBA the split second she appeared on screen

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

Kier Starmer to perform a live 'apology rap' in a move his closest allies are calling 'misguided' and 'a mistake'

Between this and Giannis schilling for a betting app my 2013 fandoms have taken a real beating today

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Got to watch two towering cunts get defeated in successive matches, tennis good actually

So a Zverev v Djokovic final is very much in play, it’s so beautiful* that two such distinct fucking villains have been elevated to the top of this godforsaken sport *🙃🙃🙃

I read this, and I am freshly reminded that one of the most important insights in humanism is that this our one and only life.
