Why oh why in the year 2026 is anyone asking Peter fucking Mandelson's opinion on anything, let alone printing it in a paper? This is rhetorical, by the way

If Ange had been given a gooner cup, he'd have walked up to the nearest camera, dramatically crushing it with his massive fist, cast it down, stamped on it, then bellowed, ”IT'S JUST WHAT WE DO MATE”

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

First day at archery for 3 years, and I can still shoot, which is a blessing. Mind you, since I last shot I've gone from being a full time academic to a full time stone and metal wrangler- and it shows in my strength. I'm gonna need a bigger bow!

Whenever I'm digging a massive, exotically-shaped dod of hardened piss-sand out of the cat's toilet with my wee plastic trowel, I like to pretend I'm the hairy lad from off of Time Team, unearthing a mystical viking artifact to please Tony Robinson.

the only thing more frustrating than realizing all the 90s linux guys were right is the knowledge that they realize it too.

The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you. Hello, I'm my own fucking stupidity

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

What a weird name for a dog. But sorry for their loss.

It's 2026! Feels like only yesterday that it was 2025! HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's a new year! Can you feel it? Keith Harris certainly could. "YEAH!"

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.
