Like I’ll ever be able to retire lol

RIP my pension tomorrow morning. Great way to start the week

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Didn’t even thank us for our attention to this matter #rude

I thought college sports rules were all anyone cared about

Have been genuinely wondering at what point Trump starts calling him mojito.

Neither Trump nor anyone else is bringing back the draft. But if he’s going to get even more unpopular for this baseless fear then I for one am quite happy to sit back and watch it happen

Country Joe McDonald, Woodstock legend with an anti-war hit, dies at 84 Country Joe McDonald, who became a Woodstock festival legend and fronted the band Country Joe and the Fish in the 1960s, has died at age 84.

Gimme an R! Gimme an I! Gimme a P!

It shouldn’t - let’s face it - be very difficult for a normal human being to do this sort of stuff.

Shouldn’t it only be called a dignified transfer if it is, in fact, a dignified occasion? For instance when the President doesn’t show up wearing a fucking baseball cap and fidgeting around like he’d pretty obviously rather be playing golf?

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

There are some beautiful speeches and monologues and quintessential British humour but, having seen the film three times, I can never shake Candy's sombre remark:

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is showing on BBC2 this afternoon.

When will it get a full 4K release? one of the most gorgeous Technicolor films of the 20th century and one of the greatest British films ever made

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

Honestly at this point with Lindsey I think it’s a kink

a) it’s basically a dumb story

Literally licking his lips while talking about sparking a world war

Maybe the clubs should I dunno just stop using the platform.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

The Iranians have suffered enough

The reason there are no academic jobs in milhist is that there are no academic jobs in hist, period.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraph… howl about the UK being “an irrelevance on the world stage”.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.
