Remembering when I was young and people would call me a tree hugger as if it was an insult, as if I would say "fuck off" in reply, and they'd get a rise out of me. They were all, always, disappointed

I have ascended to whatever level of consciousness it is where the only discourse I see is people complaining about the discourse, but never the discourse itself. As far as I can tell, the only discourse is the discourse discourse.

A Viz Top Tip posted with the hope that people who see it will subscribe to the magazine (or at least go out and buy a copy off the huge pile of unsold copies in the supermarket, or whatever they're calling WH Smiths this week): Stop a 'Knock Knock' joke dead in its tracks by answering "come in" instead of "who's there?" Or just stand very still and pretend to be out. Pete Redfern, Canterbury

A fluffy black and white cat is being held upright by a person and appears to be clutching a large sandwich with both front paws. The cat has food in its mouth and a wide-eyed, startled expression. The sandwich includes a sesame bun and visible layers of meat and possibly vegetables.

When I make a sandwich as a midnight snack and I don’t have my shirt on and my neighbor walks by the sliding glass door and the kitchen island makes it look like I’m naked

The left will never win over the mass support they need to truly transform society until they come clean about their complicity with big crumpet in the erasure of pikelet from the modern world

I'm glad the pandemic just about predated the current "I asked ChatGPT" era, otherwise there would have been far more of the dipshits pictured below.

Our wonky Lionesses mugs feature the whole Euros-winning gang, all drawn poorly by idiots. Two DIFFERENT mugs in the set, 12 different Lionesses on each. We’re obviously very sorry x
