“Jews are safe from pogroms because they’re associated with money” is certainly one of the takes of all time.

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

Clumsy bitch technique for basing your miniatures:
1) Stick a load of modgepodge on the base
2) Immediately drop the thing on the floor because you're an idiot
3) Gently pick the base up in horror at how dirty your floor is

My modest proposal: given we have introduced VAR to appease people watching the game on TV, why not also have rules about how football kits have to *actually* contrast properly? One in 12 men have some form of colour blindness!

I‘ve heard people say the show fell off when she was introduced, but I think they’re all being insincere. It’s just a bad faith argument.

Taco, my golden cocker spaniel, golden from his shoulders up and black with mud below.

Was once coming down a hill with Taco who had taken his traditional approach and a gent going the other way remarked “your dug looks like a pint of Guinness”.

if you ask a random person how high the tallest building is, they inevitably say a number way bigger than reality, ask how fast the fastest car or plane is and they come up with a number much bigger than reality and this holds true at all points until for some reason you ask how big a cargo ship is

guy who does buddhism slightly wrong and ends up in nevada after he dies

I want my rubber bands to make me feel like a sexually profligate hired assassin

yes this is great and I dream of a day when we can appoint a trans person to some boring ass office nobody cares about that has nothing to do with their identity and nobody cares about that appointment either

Isambard Kingdom Brunel would have made a funicular oil railway by now.

Luke reaching out for Obi Wan

Obi Wan MATTHEW WILDER, FAMOUS FOR his 1980'S ONE HIT WONDER "BREAK MY STRIDE" WENT ON TO WRITE THE SONGS IN DISNEY'S MULAN

Luke has been left on Hoth

Time for another one of my least beloved memes “Obi Wan gives music trivia and leaves Luke to die”

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Turns out a lot of people are just excited to rationalize violence against Jews and are looking to back project reasons why this is actually good and progressive.

Reluctant as I am to compare Mr Trump to a fine feline, what we see here is basically a cat that has climbed a tree, is sitting at the end of a branch, and while it wishes to assure you it is 100% certain of its ability to get down, feels it would be prudent to call the fire brigade at this point.

Yes, voters are generally smart enough to figure things out (if only from the volume of leaflets and mountain of signs)

Going to be honest, this doesn’t feel like it meets the criteria for “Breaking News”, does it?

It’s somewhat acceptable at something like the district council level if neither party has enough candidates for a full slate. If you’re going to be missing candidates *anyway*, might as well spread them sensibly

why are bees doing brutalism

Unless the chips are just really long, you’ll throw off the surface area to volume ratio too much. Not enough crunchy fried outside to soft fluffy inside (and you’ll struggle to get all that steam out from the deep core)

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre: Sci-fi: Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. Horror: An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. Romance : Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. Crime: Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. Fantasy: A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.

A case study in the surrealist practice of press releases citing “government sources”. If it’s in a Treasury statement with a logo on the top then the source is you.

NHS surcharge is an illuminating example of a policy that has been designed to meet public concerns about migration impacts. Hiking it from £200 to > £1000 means the NHS is v likely making a surplus (esp on students). I doubt many people have heard of it

Mysterious Roadworks!

Steve Darling's dog snoozing next to the conference podium as he speaks.

Not everyone is impressed by constitutional amendments.

My brain, sometime around 4am:
“Le Tigre, who came to tea”
Me: “shut up”
Brain: “it could be an NME article. 20 years ago”
Me: “shut up”
Brain: “they could interview them at a tea shop”
Me: “shut up”
Brain: “what’s French for ‘came to tea’, they could do the whole headline in French”
Me: “Shut up”
