just had sex i mean watched van de ven's goal

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

It's a testament to how much the Republican Party has changed that Dick Cheney's final vote was for the Democrats.

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day and he thinks Farage is the right man to sort Britain out. He says he reminds him of one of the commanders he fought alongside with distinction. In the next few weeks he's going to auction off his medals and donate all the money to Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?

Absolute perfection. #Reform

The Others

Still a terrific ghost story and a first scary movie for my 11 year old daughter (who now tells me she won’t be able to sleep tonight)

What’s amazing watching it now is how well the twists are misdirected despite there being 1001 clues along the way

Pumpkin   was what she called him because she knew he’d always held a candle for her   that his head was huge, fleshy and orange were further contributory factors Brian Bilston

Today’s Halloween-based poem is called ‘Pumpkin’.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.

The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Keir Starmer's failure to stand up to this man is a cowardly and suicidal calamity

a screenshot of two X posts by Chris Lesinski (@lesinski) the first, posted at 7:14 PM EDT on Oct. 25, 2025, says: Quite an epic AI typo in The Journal today. The Paramount exec is named Cindy Holland and they wrote “Cindy the Netherlands” The post also includes a photo of the print newspaper featuring the passage in question. The second X post, a threaded reply from @lesinski, was posted 17 hours ago, and says: Spelling this out a little more: 1) yes, this is real, WSJ Sat/Sun edition this weekend 2) they probably do some form of AI copy editing and the style guide says “we don’t use the informal ‘Holland,’ instead use ‘the Netherlands’”… … it’s just that this is a very obvious exception a human should have caught.

oh my GODDDDDDDDDDD

Well I’m two chapters in and am wishing I’d reread Secret Commonwealth first so I think you’ve made a sound decision there
