Yessssss

The Italian national anthem is always a cracking time.

You know when you get a vibe off someone and you’re not sure if anyone else sees it? Yeah. Fantastic interview.

I will keep beating this drum forever: Media Studies should be a compulsory part of education from Primary through to GCSE. We NEED to bring up a generation that understands how to critically read and interact with media, especially news media.

Yep Hadley Freeman reprinted this lie in her Guardian column, and refused to apologise for it.

The Graun printed the most graceless retraction possible, never retweeted it or apologised z

I DON'T KNOW I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAMES.

And I take that personally.

I love her.

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before

Labour is a far right party

such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Obviously don't give the Supreme TERF any money, but there's an extra layer of horror here and that is in the phrase "interactive retail experience"

I left my porridge with chia seeds in it sliiiightly too long while I typed out a message and now I have created the beginnings of organic cement.

Oh now I get it. Dubai is Golgafrinchan Ark B.

Are they better?

At least you can breathe through your eyeball now.

That footage should remain free and mockable.

What tour?

Millenials killed ironing.

And we'd do it again too.

Damn you, sense of impending dread.

That's hilarious, how dare they change the rules. I got caught about by Red Herring Guy Who Is Too Obvious because they did an old switcheroo right at the end and I was both mad and impressed at the book.

I just want to use my powers for good, like spotting the murderer in a mystery a mile off and annoying my husband by getting it first. Why must the world torment us like this.

Being good at pattern recognition is a blessing sometimes, but right now, a fucking curse.

I'm trapped and under attack in Dubai - while back home in Chichester my daughters are furious, the labradoodles are sick and, worst of all, I left my Mounjaro pen in the fridge

UK launches operation to support thousands of Britons in Middle East Officials are understood to be working on plans to evacuate British nationals, should airspace remain closed.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model).

sorry your holiday in the legal slavery zone run by the mad kings was ruined. maybe consider cleethorpes next year?

Occasionally, and usually on a Monday morning, it occurs to me that my job is fucking nonsense.
