I'm sure people know this, but it bears repeating, the BBC are *absolutely awful* on trans issues, so she's getting mad at them not being nasty enough.

🏈 JAX 29 - 36 HOU
FINAL

✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1094th unique final score in NFL history.

this is the play in which sheldon rankins conjured a scorigami out of absolutely nothing. 30-29 had happened plenty of times and so had 37-29. scorigami only happened because the refs didn't make them stick around for the extra point

I reiterate my contention that transphobes don't remotely understand what they're supposedly mad about. Lazy thinking that arises from confused, post hoc justifications for their personal discomfort.

It will never not be funny that Truss is going to spend more time doing “stuff you have to do as a former PM” than she spent as actually being PM.

She was PM for 1176 hours. With the Queen’s funeral, the Coronation, three Remembrance Sundays (there’s a lunch) she’s up to about 48 already.

It’s like photos of corn on plastic in an inflatable corn maze on grass. The inflatable parts are yellow and blue. It looks like an AI hall of mirrors but it’s IRL.

New uncanny valley unlocked: inflatable corn maze for urban fall fests.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

All hail our woke emperor.

A least weasel. It fits in the palm of the hand.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

I've never used a rotary phone or personally sent a fax, but that's about it, and I'm not 40 yet. (as teens we used to use what was functionally a boombox - it was an mp3 player with some battery powered speakers - on the skatepark for background music)

I have never done (9) (it's anti-social), (13) (Blockbuster never operated in my country), or (20) (those things were *expensive*).

I am teh oldz.

And the response *in that episode* was “yeah, but the Simpsons were drawing on earlier stuff too! The thing you just mentioned that the Simpsons did first? Simpsons was riffing on a Twilight Zone episode!”

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

The view down Hell Lane, heading roughly in the direction of one of the more popular West Country branches of Domino's Pizza

Tree roots suggestive of a portal to the underworld, but in fact actually less than a mile from a branch of WHSmith

A terrifying face, shrieking from the sandstone of a Dorset bridleway

A face with tree roots instead of a body, who looks like he should actually he in a medieval church, rather than a public footpath not far from Waitrose

The Hell Lane bridleway, in West Dorset, is an excellent place to visit if you like interdimensional portals and scary Pagan graffiti.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Whether other people judge them for that is a different point.

This does remind me that South Park did an episode complaining about The Simpsons already having done everything in ~2001

Trump said he wanted to, but I don't think he actually tried it.

A sandwich *is not* a lethal weapon. Repeat: is not a lethal weapon.

Also, "copying the tactics of Trump and Farage"

Also known as "tactics that have been shown to work"

Because she knows it would hand power to Farage in 2029?

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there.

BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Transportation announces it will reduce scheduled airspace capacity by 10% starting Friday morning if the government shutdown has not ended, citing "growing pressure" in the NAS as controllers and other personnel continue to go unpaid. Developing story.

Schrödinger’s sandwich

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Not 70s but "I predict a fry-up" to both my own and other people's baskets on a Saturday afternoon.

Unless they are planning to try it with Vance, I suppose, but that would be ... foolish, I suspect.

Want to be in politics in the future? Take an acting class. Improv skills will help you a lot. You will need to be on camera a lot more than any previous generation of politician and performing on camera is (mostly) a learned skill that you can get better at with deliberate practice.
