as I often say: imagine how much the 20th-best drummer in your city makes, and then compare that to what the 200th-best marketing manager makes

Genie comes out of the bottle. Offers to grant people's every wish. Everyone who tries this gets their wishes sort-of fulfilled but in at best unhelpful, at worst life-ruining ways. Genie goes back to in the bottle.

Nailed it.

Not quite sure how my Boxing Day evening turned into applying 5 years worth of Windows 10 updates to an old dual-booting MacBook Pro in the hopes of upgrading it to Win11, and yet here we are. In my defence I had Christmas cake, cheese and beer while I did it

Never eat singing food

A pre-emptive Merry Christmas to all you brilliant people who live in my phone

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

Just re-bought Burnout Paradise and Far Cry 3 in the Steam sale, refuse to accept that this counts as retrogaming

Epic new goatse just dropped

For god's sake read a book, it's an emergency

Reform + Conservatives on a combined 44% of the vote is a shockingly bleak outlook and a damning indictment of Labour's first year-and-a-half.

A spider isn't a web designer, it's a web developer. All spiders within a species use the same design.

There once was a bear from Peru, Who would summon the souls that were due, With his paw at the gate, He would show them their fate, He comes for us all and he'll come for you too

Paddington Bear becoming the UK's go-to psychopomp is one of the very weirdest things to happen in this very weird decade.

yeah good luck with that

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

All of these games are great fun, especially Clockwork God.

Tis the season to quote Home Alone 2....'Wow what a hole'

I think some tosser volunteering to get a smack in the face to cheer us all up should become a pre Christmas tradition.

It's not Christmas until you've seen the Christmas T-Rex

We pranked our 12yo with an “Is It Cake” cake for his birthday. He actually doesn’t love cake so we told him we got him Fruit Loops instead. Since we don’t normally buy them this was plausible. Then he was confused about why we froze them. Kit is on Goldbelly.

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

got my adhd upgraded to ad4k

Me: I don’t see the appeal of boxing TV: OK but what if it’s professional boxers savagely brutalizing influencers Me:

Toilet rat implies the existence of skibidi pizza

Trying some reverse psychology on Evri

Overheard in the pub: "I love Facebook, me" 😩

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I will get to go on a lovely road trip with my dad (good) but Nazis will keep popping up to ruin everything (bad but expected)

Berry Bars

Happy Mad Friday to all who celebrate.

I am not feeling ready for it to be Christmas in the slightest, might have to go back to having an advent calendar next year so that at least the month has a sense of progression to it rather than racing by like all the others

First trailer in a long time that has absolutely sold me on a movie

I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't raining

Worth a follow: just the ep title cards from old TV shows. Inspired — and creditably single-minded.

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

The End Of Chat History

It really says something about the state of FIFA that this is maybe only the third or fourth most laughable thing they've announced this year

The End of History II: The End of Critical Thinking

Wow, Zuckerberg v Ellison is going right down to the wire. Literally a single vote in it when I cast my ballot.

My "New Releases" was at 28% this year, up CONSIDERABLY from the 3% of my playtime in 2024 that went to games released in 2024 There have been so many great (and affordable!) indie releases this year, and the discovery algo seems to be putting a lot more of them where I can see them now.

Incredibly depressing stat that explains a lot about How Things Are: only 14% of all the time people played games on Steam this year was spent on new games released in 2025. (The 92% stat is mine, obviously it is my job to play new games)

Finally an answer to the question "what if The Olivia Tremor Control turned evil"

The demographic here is just fundamentally different from Twitter, Threads, etc. I just did my annual search for "missile toe" and could only find people using the phrase ironically

All of me would go, half would leave

I'm reissuing a classic - no bonus tracks

Bold late career change from the remaining chuckle brother.
