I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

There is evidence supporting this globally already. When you repeat far right framing you end up normalising it. We're seeing same thing with Labour pandering to the far right, and how they're actually helping Reform gain support with their rhetoric and policies.

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs.

Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

"Whoever forbids Antifa, wants fascism! Make Antifa Great Again!" - Banner held by Bayern Munich fans on Friday, right behind the goal, so guaranteed to be in the broadcast worldwide.

Writing a novel— actually picking the words and filling in paragraphs— is a tremendous pain in the ass. Now that TV’s so good and the Internet is an endless forest of distraction, it’s damn near impossible. That should be taken into account when ranking the all-time greats. Somebody like Charles Dickens, for example, who had nothing better to do except eat mutton and attend public hangings, should get very little credit.

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

This brilliant video by singer Chris Cron deserves its own applause (he’s on Instagram), but it also reminds us how astonishingly good Queen were as songwriters and musicians. The melody, harmony, and lyrical flair are all elite — and this isn’t even one of their Top 5 most downloaded songs!
