Glad it works, and glad the beautiful physics of that item still gets used today

What's left of Trump's brain shuts down when confronted with data it was not anticipating, like a Roomba asked to tidy Guernica.

Two photos of a zookeeper holding up a fucking vast wombat

Or you can marvel once again at Patrick, who lived at Ballarat Wildlife Park in Australia, becoming both the oldest captive wombat ever recorded, and – to use the correct naturalists’ term – an absolute fucking whopper

Trump ally Infantino to award first Fifa Peace Prize at World Cup draw in DC Fifa unveils a new Peace Prize to be awarded at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, citing a mission to honor efforts to end conflict

Actually, although it's commonly known as 'The FIFA Peace Prize' its correct name is 'The Jewelled Rimmer Trophy'
