The problem with that Whamageddon thing is that Last Christmas is a stone cold banger and trying to avoid it proves that you don't truly understand the meaning of the season, to celebrate our Lord and Savior, Saint George Michael.

Sometimes I just get an idea and it won't go away

"You seem happier" Thanks, I deleted all my emails and went to look at birds instead.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

a cancer nurse in a state I've never been to told messaged me and said that reading out Rice Truck aloud as it happened was the only day in her entire 14 year career on chemo ward that nobody cried and it's probably the best compliment I will ever get in my life

I honestly don’t mean this in a cruel way, but this person is functionally dead.

I mean the thing about trying to govern with no political ambitions is that your opponents can just project whatever they want onto it and there's nothing you can really do to stop them

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I would die for pissfingers

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Every single person in Britain: "the chippy" or, if we're being fancy, "the chip shop" The New York Times: "the french fry restaurant"

Behold, my loaf

Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

Fun fact: November 28, 2001: "ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

[Turn around] Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, and you're never coming round [Turn around] Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears [Turn around] Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Pagliacci goes to the doctor for depression. Doctor says, "I've got just the thing: stop arguing with random assholes on the internet." Pagliacci says, "But Doctor. You don't understand. *I* am just a random asshole on the internet"

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Just realised this is referring to a church in North Carolina and not the Welsh singer

This is now English case law

happy international mens day to this guy

I need "Stats are down but he played great" to make it into the lexicon.

When I arrive at the party

Magneto intoning, "So... it seems we meet again, old friend" every morning while handing Charles Xavier his morning coffee at their Fire Island bungalow

@fallenlights.net was kind enough to share this with me, and thus, I spread the wealth.

that's right, fraud is when you take money for something you don't do

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

I live in a time when "a cabal of pedophiles runs the country" and "the national media have been engaging in a multi a year long conspiracy to end democracy" are factual statements and I want a refund

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

Penguin Random House emailed me last night because their ebook team was going through the citations on TRUE BELIEVER and found like 40 URLs that no longer went anywhere I had to correct them, and luckily most were caught by the Wayback Machine, but some are just… gone Dead Internet Theory is real

Someone had fun with the acronym

The *reason* I vote for the Quick Vote slate is that it's the most effective method of not accidentally splitting the anti-Restore Trust vote. I read the *motions* and vote on those by conscience, but my major goal in the board vote is making sure those cranks stay out.

The studio that made the shitty coca-cola AI ad getting their teeth kicked in on socials bc of how icky bad it is, then the studio CEO coming out insulting and dismissing folks kicking their teeth in, and THEN releasing the worst ever cover up “hey we actually made this by hand” scam vid 🧍‍♀️

@foldablehuman.bsky.social so after being *very* confused by the trailer for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, I wondered if, based on your video on the Snyder Cut and the structural issues in screening super long films, you had any thoughts on the listed 4h7m (!!) runtime.

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time
