People who say,"I love books but don't like Kindles" do not in fact really like books.

Keep seeing people on this site scratching their heads and asking why Gianni Infantino attended Trump's big Summit for Peace.

Let me help you out - it's because he is a massive cunt.

I mean clearest pen you'll ever ever see. No idea what the lad was thinking.

Omg massive rat on the pitch in the Wales game! 🐀. Even men with steel hearts don't want to see that shit.

Stainless Style

Such an underrated album this one. A loose concept album based on the life of John Delorean. What's not to like?

You knew my gran?

You can have that but tbc I'm claiming the crown of Málaga. Bro married a Malagenia and has lived there years.

Jesus. I still remember my gran's phone number today and she's been dead nearly 30 years.

Cheers. Aware of the pixel but not of the others. Will have a look.

Just had 2 myself. Loaded up on antihistamines 2 hours before cos lots of proper emerging science about it reducing side effects. Hopefully that will help.

Hmm. Interesting. Looking for a decent camera on a mid range phone at moment (if you have any other suggestions!)

Just said similar. It's a very good speech for the context and audience and his storytelling skills are properly impressive.

Reagan obvs. Fuck my King Lear autocorrect

I mean what he's saying is nonsense and grotesque (to me) but 1. This is objectively a vg speech from Trump and 2. Think his skills as a storyteller are generally underrated. He's very very good at it. Like almost Regan good.

Also just to add to this thread this is literally on my wall in my office which I very much like (obvs)

In fairness tho outdoor chess tables are very popular in Eastern Europe and Russia and the sun is hardly cracking the flags in those countries.

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

(I apologise in advance for just how ludicrously obscure this joke is but IYKYK)

Retained issue v devolved issue

Are you going to godel-ay-dee-go?

Yep and you can't have a centrally led pubic health campaign to address the concerns that people have about centrally led public health campaigns. Doesn't add up.

Which doesn't mean do nothing. I think public mockery has a more important role to play than govt action.

The nature of the problem is surely one that means it would increase not reduce if there was a govt campaign about it. "They're clearly worried people are waking up to the truth/they're telling us what to think etc etc"

Oh so this new wokery is why they are no longer for sale in my local butcher's.

Was supping that all last week in Málaga. Nicer in the sun.

The uncle that "went away for a couple of years" who always does rockabilly dancing at any family wedding to "show the youngsters how it's done".

I know nothing about María Corina Machado but I am pretty sure she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than that freakish orange arsehole does.

It's a great song. Unusual for R6 who probably think it would be improved if it was being aggressively shouted by a dick from Nottingham or something.
