maybe not the main point but it is wild to be lectured on “culture” by the human avatar of Ready Player One

he has no culture, no interest in anything besides mindlessly saying the names of things he knows are supposed to be cool as some sort of shibboleth

Kate Beaton’s Dude Watchin’ with the Brontës comic, in which Emily and Charlotte berate Anne for not swooning over alcoholic dickbags

also I would be remiss if I did not reference @katebeaton.bsky.social’s legendary comic when discussing a book by one of the Brontës

-HowAboutNo- • 1h • Sweden That angle was pre-prepared by the Swedes. It's not a usual angle. The Canadians didn't know this angle existed. It's usually from the front where it's impossible to see a touch. The Swedes stated in the post-match interview that they made it into a big deal because the Canadians have done this before in other games. The refs never act and they wanted to force them to more actively rule the games. The Swedes can be heard during the game saying that "it's fine, Magnus is recording", refering to a guy from Swedish television operating the camera from that angle. This was pre-planned and expected. It's the reason why Oskar is so confident that it's on camera.

Sweden curling set up a sting operation to catch Canada cheating i’m fucking losing it

Brewdog is your classic failed "first-mover."

They entered the market, at scale, when that market (something slightly better/edgier in mainstream shops and bars) was wide open.

Their offering was above-average and sometimes great (e.g. their non-alcs). But they made the classic mistake /1

I'm taking any anthony gormley that's not already a public piece.

This is one of our pub questions, but you have to do the heist yourself and keep it, nit allowed to sell it.
I would absolutely heist any anthony gormley that's not currently a public monument. (Not the angel of the north, not the Morecambe bay figures, etc)

My new proposal - a £10 per-use charge for sounding the car horn, doubling for each use within 15 seconds.

Refundable if a genuine motoring emergency need is shown, not just irate at being stuck behind a slow car.

I suspect we'll pay off the national debt within a week.

Of course the robots are cops.

Good lord. What a great cover!

..damn it, this thing was almost wiped out. IT WAS ALMOST WIPED OUT.

(growling) Now all this work is to do again. And it's going to take years. *And thousands of kids will die.* 😡

Fate, you have the chance to make the funniest thing ever happen!

Aussie booted from US over plan to 'move into Billie Eilish's mansion' Controversial Aussie Drew Pavlou has been deported from the US after he travelled over there to 'occupy' Billie Eilish's mansion.

he wasn't deported, he was denied entry because he it was for the express purpose of making money while committing a crime

Charity buys £2.2m tract of land for Wales’ biggest rewilding project Project in Ceredigion aims to help country catch up with large-scale nature recovery projects elsewhere in UK

Tash Reilly, Tir Natur’s chair, said: “This site will demonstrate what’s possible when we allow nature to take the lead and work for people again. It’s a hopeful, practical vision anyone can contribute to.”

There was a period of I think a fortnight between the DVLA actively choosing to renew her driving licence and the Incident in which the police had to be called out to get her home.

(Please do not give me any 'just take the keys away', that conversation was had, it was not in our power.)

In the queue to book a driving test. Site opens at 6 officially. Logged on at 5.57 and was 10,000th in the

For new drivers getting a test is harder than Oasis tickets, but my relative with diagnosed dementia got an instant slot and the DVLA fell over themselves to keep her on the road.

They should just put an ankle monitor on Dr. Doom.

If you really think children's social media use is the most pressing public health issue, I think someone should be allowed to make your nose your most pressing personal health issue.

Antlers not grown yet?
Tentacles all awry?
Fangs & claws cracked and broken?
Don't worry.
We're all perfectly imperfect in our own way, and that's ok.

The panther exhibit is temporarily closed. The screaming you hear is just the completely normal screaming that a panther handler does.

Morning hookland.

Goodnight from Steven Dix, not relishing having to tell Hookland Highways Department their temporary traffic lights have been stolen by a flying saucer. Goodnight from Posy Cropper, entering candle communion in hopes of guiding Olag Gandle home. Goodnight from Hookland.

Dublin is actually a very interesting & friendly place.

A sick bunny lies in bed, with an ice pack balanced on their head and a bowl of soup. A cat is next to them on a cat bed, also with an ice bag.

Daily bunny no.3231 will get well soon
