I've just had an amazing idea

Fitzcarraldo

Can this be a solution?

I have no idea where or why this started, but it seems good.

Asymmetric warfare? In this day and age? How unforeseeably uncouth.

Wilful blindness: am I a joke to you?

Badenoch’s YouGov tracker has gone from 21% favourable in November to 26% now. Sadly there’s no tracker for ideological incoherence.

Great news! Very best of luck with the medication and the challenges that continue to exist but become easier to confront.

The Chalamet story is just perfect fodder for social media managers and newspapers with similar demographic challenges. Hopefully it reminded a few people to look buy a ticket or two.

So the markets are happier because senpai noticed them? Ew, cringe.

I was so shocked when I found out Peter Lorre was a real person. The parodies were everywhere.

“Reading old books”

The extraordinary circumstances of this totally-not-a-war are definitely not covered by the insurance, and the cost of that kind of insurance would make your nose bleed.

The Trump admin knows the importance of passivity. That’s why they put so much effort into persecuting their critics.

In a just world, headlines like this would lead to a pressure campaign and a well-publicised policy change. But for some reason, vulnerable women are constantly short-changed.

Of all the boneheaded decisions the BBC has made in recent years, snubbing Mishal Husain still irks me the most.

We massively underestimated the appeal of having sentient robot slaves. Are people just fundamentally drawn to slavery, and willing to handwave the morality concerns?

The guy who unironically uses terms like ‘soyboy’ and manlet turned out to have dubious takes? Well now I’ve seen everything.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

The Trump specialises in the kind of video that would make you block somebody’s number without even following up.

Steam community requesting additional body types for added immersion.

A large block of sentient tofu

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

"After all, why not... why shouldn't I keep it?"

A mug depicting KC Green's This Is Fine dog comic, but tragically faded

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames

Lmao

Hemingway was once bet that he couldn’t write the world’s happiest short story in just 5 words. He replied,

Perceptions of existential threats to our survival seem to hang on whether they can be turned into a political narrative. And whether that narrative is being pushed.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Elon Musk’s “you will be rich” promise conveniently omits the second half: “but we will be gods.”

So many assumed conspiracy theories suddenly became credible when Trump started parroting them word for word as policy goals.
