A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

I was in Tate Modern looking at a picture when I realised the person looking at the next picture along was Fabio Capello. I finished looking at the picture and moved on.

Venus and Serena should collectively be known as the Tennis-y Williams

This is absolutely correct

Top Adrian Chiles Columns of 2025: I’ve given up wild swimming. So why does my Volvo smell like mince? Should I tell the postman he has halitosis? My first wife wouldn’t let me wear shorts. I buried my father with my bare hands. It’s time we stopped talking about glamping. 1/3

I have invented a new Christmas dish, deep-fried pigs in blankets: pigs in double glazing.

I refer the New York Times to the ITV kids show Tiswas

“Vivaldi CEO Jon von Tetzchner accused other companies like Google and Microsoft of ‘reshaping the address bar into an assistant prompt, turning the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship.’” Well, Vivaldi. You had my interest; now you have my attention

The actor Timothy Chaletmaid took his stagename from his love for unfulfilled 1980s uk sitcom characters.

Little tip for you- if you’re unloading a dishwasher at somebody else’s house this Christmas DONT ask them where things go because it’ll take forever. Just stuff them anywhere and let them deal with it. It’s not your problem and you’re NOT their fucking slave. 😉👍

No matter our beliefs, Jesus’ message of opening our hearts to those who are different from us has never felt more important than this Christmas. I want to wish everyone celebrating in London and around the world a very Merry Christmas.

Elon messes with Twitter, shoves Grok into everything. Bluesky - tyvm. So, welcome new people. Feeds are everything here, re-post is more important than like. Block is nuclear. Enjoy!

Q: What kind of cow is waterproof? A: A gaberdine Angus. #CrackerJoke

Wow. These people should not be allowed to have dogs at all.

I live in a rural area. It's hard to convey just how despised these people are. Part time big city 'country folk' and it's not even about the hunt, it's a power trip where they block roads and run roughshod over private property simply because they believe they're better than the rest of us.

My dad (73): ‘I think Kylie’s is a strong enough addition to the canon after the misery of the LadBaby years.’

Reminder from Brenda the civil disobedience penguin @firstdogonthemoon about surviving Christmas with climate denier relatives. Radicalise the kids instead.

People who don’t believe there is such a thing as societal decline also have to answer why every day you go to the supermarket and more and more perfectly edible and enjoyable cheese is being ruined with pointless bits of dried fruit inside it.

Legendary subterfuge that all b3ta members will remember

A market town that lacks quintessence…

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things. When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

“My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor.”

Can't tell you how little I want a Gaston movie, especially if it's redemptive. Oh, he was bullied as a boy and so decided to become unbulliable by bullying everyone else first. LeFou is the loyal kid who was also picked on, and the first to benefit from Gaston beating up his bullies. Just STOP.

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!? Where is Congress? Where are they? I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C. Even George is upset 🦮 & we should all be shocked! No one is here to say this is wrong! I was born here. I'm Andrew Howard. 1/5🧵

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

I see a lot of people celebrating violence against Andrew Tate and Jake Paul and really we should be better than... Oh who am I kidding get Tommy Robinson in a ring with Oleksandr Usyk.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

"I think refusing is actually the more hopeful, expansive vision of the future than the one that is telling us that the future is already settled and decided. That's my daring idea. Just say no."

Tottenham v Liverpool match report (tl;dr version) Goal. Frank incensed. Mirth.

This logo really works if you think about the typefaces left from right. This thing you think is normal and modern? Punchline, it's a Nazi.

Seasons greetings from the Blairs. 🌲🎅

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

Regular solvers of the FT's News puzzle might not be expecting to see it today - a week earlier than usual - but you really won't want to miss this one from Guy, it is superb. Worth doing for 22 down alone... www.ft.com/crossword

My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

The real ~politics of envy~ is the right telling people they should feel hard done by when other people's lives get better. Your value is based on how many other human beings you're standing on top of. It's inhuman and unnatural thinking which is why they have to push it so hard

In tribute to my dad, I made patxaran - sloes steeped in anis liqueur with vanilla, cinnamon and coffee beans. It’s a basque speciality - he introduced me to it on a memorable occasion in 1992 that ended with me being arrested! We’ll drink a glass in his memory at the family Christmas gathering

A friend went into one of those phone box book exchanges and "came out having got a new tailor (because I really wanted to get straight)". Which reminded me that I haven't listened to Rattlesnakes for such a long time - what a truly great album! It's really aged well. Also got me to thinking...

And to me, the question here isn't how Jews feel about this, but how do you feel about it? As a British person, how does it make you feel that one of the smallest minorities in your country needs armed guards to celebrate its holidays? Are you aware of this? Are you comfortable with it?
