ODYSSEUS: wife I am home after 20 years
PENELOPE: oh shit I mean honey you are home how wonderful
ODYSSEUS: who are all these strange men
PENELOPE: well, I'll tell you what they're definitely not, which is a 300 person polycule ruling in your absence

an ad for a slushy drink that reads THE BLUE THING IS BACK!

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

Gen Z Shoppers Aren’t Spending Like Retailers Need Them To More than other generations, 20-somethings are tightening their holiday-season budgets because of economic pressures.

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI”

Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I always wonder who the audience for stories like this is

I feel like we're moving closer to the inevitable day when Liz Truss announces she's defected to Reform, and Reform frantically spins that she absolutely has not

Genuinely think this is all we need for a psychopath test. Show kids the Muppets, if they laugh, feel empathy and love them they can carry on, if not they get put in to some kind of machine. Humanity will be saved.

Oh God yes this is sexy slang.

Life of Brian - that guy (Gregory according to the script - who was at the Sermon on the mount with his wife earlier) on the cross who is trying to claim he's Brian and so's his wife.

I'm not American and neither is my wife!

Just think it’s a bit weird that society has been brainwashed in to thinking that rich people and massive corporations having a bit less money is the main thing we need to avoid no matter what.

Streamins service UI is increasingly bad deliberately. It's dark UX patterning as access to show catalogues narrows.

If you let the user search, they will look for shows you no longer have (or never had).

The goal is to hijack that journey and force a show they'll feel is 'okay' in front of them.

A time for us all to gather for a meal, a celebration of the birth of a very special child, born miraculously through immaculate conception. Reminding us that what truly matters is what's inside... 🎄

My cat... might hate me...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Fuck yeah, Yorkshire pudding this mug!

i am not a christian but i have no idea why there isn't some big panic about a guy called "mr. beast" amassing tremendous amounts of fame and influence by literally getting people to do dangerous and degrading things

The Russia Report needs revisiting, updating and some repercussions behind it. Ones with big, bloody teeth.

I just want to remind people that Louis CK masturbated in front of multiple colleagues over the course of many years many of whom because of it chose to leave the profession.

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

Even setting aside not wanting to support him for jacking off in front of people, I feel like the fact that he did it undercut the entire concept of Louis CK as a comedian: that he was a man with repulsive thoughts and urges, but who had attained the self-knowledge that comes with recognizing them

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds

Yeah. Before the fall, CK's act—and his fandom—rested on the premise that his worst self wasn't his true self. Now it's the opposite, and that's just not interesting as comedy.
