Imagine Sisyphus Happy on Steam Sisyphus is Streaming! A weird mixture of Streamer Simulator, Clicker and Quick-time actions about life, spectacle, and making the grind worth living. Push the boulder, do tricks, play mini-games, gro...

"Sisyphus, king of Corinth, has tricked the Gods and Death. To punish him, the Gods condemned him to push a boulder uphill forever, only for it to roll back each time.

But Sisyphus didn't give up! He decided to livestream his infinite struggle as a way to seek joy in a futile repetition."

That was bad and I feel bad.

In England they call him Naughty Rabbit

Starmer bundled out of Downing Street, all "What is the charge, sir? Turning a heel? A succulent right wing heel?"

The red M&M might only be a few days old, but he has vivid memories of watching Joan of Arc burn. It’s useful context for all previous M&Ms ads

Air Bud (Mr. Barky) lines up with his teammates on the field. There doesn't appear to be an opposing team, which is good because that dog will die. I mean, really die. Tagline: "The basketball loophole was pretty cute. This is just irresponsible. He's not even wearing a helmet, what the fuck."

Labour's structural position is bad (terrible inheritance etc + unwillingness to grasp certain nettles) but has been hugely damaged by an obsession with winning over people who will never vote for them, based on a misread of the 2024 election

Odds on next Chief of Staff:

4-1 Gregg Wallace
5-1 Allegra Stratton
8-1 Stephen Yaxley-Lennon
16-1 Peter Mandelson

Now do Streeting.

Honestly the Mandelson fiasco would be a fine chance for Labour to purge the careerists who don’t believe in anything, but for the small problem that the careerists already purged anyone who does.

Yeah. That fixed me.

A salt beef bagel, served cut in half in white paper wrapping, presented in a gorgeously kitsch red plastic basket.

Not bad! If I’m quibbling I’d like the bagel a little chewier and about twice the pickle and mustard. The beef is great.

…I say, immediately buying a comic about a trans ramen chef solving crimes.

Is there such a thing as peak Jonathan Cape

I do wonder how left wing you could be and still stomach doing it, or how left wing you could remain after doing it for a while.

Yeah, this is why I could never join "the local WhatsApp". Something that presents like community but behaves like social media? Sweet Cthulhu no.

I a) stand corrected, and b) might now leave the house today.

Oh. New? Intriguing.
