one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

holy shit

Sorry to be blunt, I’m tired tonight, but basically a lot of Americans need a good fucking smack.

@hehimta BREAKING A just watched in realtime as jk rowling's superyacht samsara was completely removed from marinetraffic and other services. not just AIS off; the entire vessel listing is gone incl. all port logs. marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details... Nothing to sea here Oops... Something went wrong Please refresh the page, or contact us if the error persists.

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

And that's absolutely FINE (if lucky) so long as you don't go around committing sexual offenses against people...

Oh and, to be fair, Neverwhere was pretty fun. But still a lot more style than substance, a basic portal fantasy held together by great imagery and a movie-esque feel.

He's got an atmospheric style and is great at big picture stuff... but the actual nuts and bolts part, the unglamarous sit at your desk and work bit, was never his thing. The only solo work of his I liked was Norse Mythology... which you can hardly credit to him alone.

fucking _hell_

I genuinely think he tried to publish a book anonymously thinking that his writing alone would bring his lost fans flocking to worship his new pen name. And instead he discovered the joy of being an unknown author and rushed back to using his tainted real name.

Sarah Ferguson has open and closed more charities than most of us have donated to.

The Irish Faithful: they're laughing at us!

The Irish Traitors:

A lovely combo of period exhaustion, world events, and stress has had me bypass the living room and crawl into bed with the only easily cooked food in the flat: a bowl of oven chips

Amazing coda here.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Sounding the alarm

awful AI shitslop image of a train in a sort of Scottish looking city that's blue and has a logo on the side formed of a lightning bolt in a thick circle

that same logo in its original blue and red colours, which happens to be the literal flag of the British Union of Fascists

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists.

People often say that their least favourite word is "moist" (which I've always thought is a kind of a social media-driven contagion rather than a genuine thing) – but anyway, it might help those people if they interpolate an "A", e.g.

People have been voting with their feet on Pinterest for ages, because of tricky ads and AI and general shitty user experience. Why would any company look at that and go... 'yes, more AI please!!'

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

An image of all the books I read in Jan with artwork matching their theme - hot men, Fern Brady, ice dancing, etc

I had a truly unhinged reading month in Jan and made this graphic to commemorate it.... #booksky

A screenshot of the Amazon page for Kenneth Williams’s diary, advising customers not to use the product near overhead power lines.

Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

Sticky Toffee Pudding. Like, it's FINE, but I don't get the chokehold it has on restaurants...

Once a month or so getting reminded - amongst news that the wealthy & powerful keep killing normal people & getting away with it scott free - that they're also in a massive kiddiefiddling ring together & will continue to get away with it scott free is not AMAZING for the old menty-h.
