Yes, and you call it Clair "Obscur" despite the fact that it is obviously quite popular

You can just destroy brutalism. 👏

Nicolas Pepe: Cristiano Ronaldo does a lot of interviews, and he talks too much about Messi, & that's how you see that he is number 2. You know Dragon Ball Z? Vegeta always talked like that and who never talked? Goku. Ronaldo has that same frustration that Messi is always ahead of him Love this man

Trump: "Every boat we shoot down ... "

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

It's revealing about taboos around racism that the visceral bullying racism of schoolboy Farage cuts through while the much more consequential thinly veiled racism of adult Farage doesn't.

British elites will act like neurorodiversity is somehow new or problematic and simultaneously won't bat an eyelid at a peer of the realm whose hobby outside of occasionally being in Parliament is a collection of 20,000 beetles organised by linean classification in the ancestral family house

From JD Vance on Houthi PC small group, the day after Signalgate broke:

the Michelin man is kinda like a Greek god in the sense that he presides over tires and which restaurants are good

Sultana and Corbyn act like they were put together in a competition by Simon Cowell and now they're contractually obliged to go on tour

Might be kicking off.

in the midst of our supposed campaign against Venezuelan drug traffickers the President of the United States has chosen to pardon the Former President of Honduras, freeing him from his long prison sentence earned for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the United States

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

really went dark for the sequel

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat

GOP Rep Don Bacon calls for Witkoff to be fired.

So revealing how many people on the liberal/left side of the political spectrum bang on about wealth tax, then as soon as there is a tax on wealth it’s like: no! Not MY wealth.

Trump appears to be telling Americans that prices are about to skyrocket.

So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid. Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.

The funniest part of Suetonius is where he goes “the emperor Claudius was a pervert who was only into adult women”

Quite an unfortunate place to drift off into an ellipsis.
