Maybe, before you put out a tweet, ask yourself, "Is this the sort of thing that Donald Trump could have posted?"

Japanese-style white-gloved shovers needed.

One of the clues in yesterday's NYT Connections used "Baby Talk", and my immediate thought was, "but baby fish mouth is sweeping the nation".

Never not a good idea. Wonderful, witty, quotable movie gold.

We are only a handful of years away from "crypto" bearing the same connotations as "Ponzi".
We'll need a whole slew of new prisons to house the fraudsters and their mouthpieces.

Surely if FIFA were going to knock off any globally famous award, they should have gone with the Best Actor Oscar?

I can sort of understand sailing close to the wind by taking a superb recipe and making just enough tweaks to it to avoid claims of plagiarism, but why the f would you (or your pet AI) cut and paste the freaking back story wholesale?

Breaking: the Nobel committee have awarded their first ever Ballon D'Or to Boris Johnson.

I see that Friends, Big Bang Theory and the Harry Potter movies are all leaving Netflix UK soon.
I have no idea what my daughter's going to watch when she comes home from Uni, as that's basically her entire viewing.

But that's so much better than "Generic Elf #3". Any decent teacher/director would have absolutely leant into it.

Don't forget Ludvig's son Emanuel, who had his own prize in Azerbaijan.

This fiasco of the three leaders picking their countries' clearly marked balls reminds me of nothing more than a game of pass-the-parcel at a kids' party where you have to make sure everybody wins a prize.

But at least Fawlty Towers will be able to be broadcast in the OV once again.

Isn 't Spittake just a bunch of middle-aged guys standing around a young woman, expectorating on her?

These Nepo Babies often mix with a bad crowd.
I'm assuming she's Tim's daughter?

Hot take I know, but for me one of the big problems with Meta Horizons is that it's completely shit.

Follow live: Officials give update as suspect arrested over pipe bombs placed ahead of 6 January Capitol riot The devices, which did not detonate, were placed outside Republican and Democratic offices in Washington DC.

Mr President, time to check the ink levels in your pardon Sharpie.

Unless his place would be taken by someone with more intelligence or subtlety.

Motorcyclists or, as surgeons call them, "organ donors".

I'd have to say, for me it was when George Harrison had just died, and one of the In-Brief headlines just said "Ringo Next".
Splendid economy.

Communities were more coherent* back in the days when we had smog. Let's all start heating our homes with coal again.

He has ridiculously high potential, I just want to see him live up to it. He needs to look down the other end and realise that test cricket is about making a century at 4 an over, not 30 at a run a ball.

But nobody's optimal game is dancing down the wicket to the fast bowlers off your second or third ball, nor playing scoop shots when the team needs you to dig in and see Starc off.

This London test team led by a Kiwi and a Durham Kiwi, whose best two batsmen are Yorkshiremen, and whose fastest two bowlers are from Northumberland and Barbados?

Yes, Joe Root!
Back de-monkeyed!
A man, nay a prince, amongst boys.

One of the worst things for mental health is feeling like you lack any control over your life.
For instance, when you elect a Labour government and get a Tory/Reform tribute act instead.
Of course we're all depressed, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE WORLD LATELY?

England are what you get when you send out a terrific T20 team to play a test match.
Wonderful ball strikers, short on gamecraft. Harry Brook, all the talent in the world, the worst offender.
He needs to grow up.

Next they'll be saying "we should spell it jail not gaol"🙄

Were you drinking South American Arabica? African, SE Asian or even Indian has that extra bit of edgy character without making it taste like instant.
