We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

TIL: the Netflix fireplace has closed captions and said closed captions are "[fireplace crackling]"

Is it time that we asked whether marketing departments have just given up?

Goddam it, you linger briefly on one advert for a neck support pillow and that's it. The entire internet is now middle aged people winching and clutching their neck

Please can we all pretend I posted two weeks ago about Pluribus because YES

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

This is a really good articulation of why it feels like I (and Marie! And probably you and lots of others) feel like I am losing my mind daily

No one in this ball pit is taking me seriously.

Born February 22, 1975, Drew Barrymore is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley’s age on the day ‘Cocoon’ was released. Congrats Drew! You’ve reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.

Is House of Dynamite the most absurdly cast film of all time? Kaitlyn Dever from Booksmart has three lines. Prince Eric from live action little mermaid pops up in the last 15mins, as does the (always incredible) Renée Elise Goldberry. Every single minor role is someone absurdly over qualified.

Welcome to New Vegas

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

you can't just bring back austin powers. the franchise wrote itself into a corner after he volunteered to stay behind forever in the shagadelic dimension to save foxxy and vanessa. they already brought him back once without explaining how he escaped from fembot island, the audience won't buy it

This is what future celebrities were supposed to be, not politics streamers

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

Great to see *checks notes* two time Emmy nominee Nick Mohammed finally breaking through.

Joe's face when he saw Nick had voted for him. #CelebrityTraitors

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

People surprised at how much 40-something women absolutely adore West End Girls need to remember that this population was primed for this by the 1995 release of You Oughta Know

good Reddit

everyone automatically clacks these twice upon picking them up because deep down we all know we’re crabs

What is the longest unbroken line in the UK? I think painted lines on the inside of a motorway might be a good shout. Can anyone do better? It has to be human made.

What do you mean you dressed up as the “come on grandma let’s get you to bed” meme for Halloween?

I love it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LYP...

I dunno lads but maybe we shouldn't have, like, three companies provide the backbone for the entire internet

'The "uncle" who Frodo said got rich by adventuring with Dwarves is actually a distant cousin, he clarified on Monday.' - Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, The Shire Post

Being in your 40s is singing David Guetta's Titanium to yourself, except with the word Magnesium, as you brush your teeth to go to bed at 8.43pm

betamax is back - as a laser disc

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Oh yeah I hadn’t thought of that

I am merely aiding the police in their inquiries, it is simply a way of passing the time for me, and the constables, they are gracious enough to accept my assistance, all unpaid, of course. If you, too, will humor me by joining the other guests in the parlor I would like to share some of my findings

When you read the headline “jewelry heist at the Louvre” / When you read the article about how they did it

I would sign this change dot org petition in a heartbeat

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"

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

AAAAAAA aaaaaa

This is possibly the all-time funniest real answer to an interview question

"why don't you just leave me alone?" is my general complaint about everything digital now. It simply won't let me just get on with things in peace

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘ ‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
