coming out of my cage and i've NOT been doing just fine. because, as i just mentioned, i was in a fucking cage.

Listen, guys: it's easy to just indiscriminately block anyone with whom you disagree, rather than engaging with them in the sort of lively debate that the internet needs.

And that's why I do it. Because it's easy. Also, it's cool and fun.

Excommunication is generally reserved for acts of heresy, defiance of Papal authority, and property disputes within the Church. So long as Vance doesn't try to celebrate Mass, recognises Leo as the head of the church, and doesn't squat in a convent a diocese wants to sell, he should be fine.

Hey, this is a weird looking door. I wonder how it works?

Is it good that someone who is fully and deeply embedded into every government system that impacts our day-to-day existence believes this sort of thing?

Who can say? Maybe it's fine!

This is fine and all, but did Ryan Gosling like the pasty? It doesn't say whether or not Ryan Gosling liked the pasty.

"So, yeah, it's called 'going viral,' Daddy, and it means he's basically famous to a bunch of nerds and losers on the internet."

"And is that... lucrative?"

"Oh God, no. Quite the opposite."

Oh yeah, it's all very Ha ha ha now, but would it still be funny if you were the one who had to explain to your 71-year-old father from Fermanagh why everyone he knows is phoning him about ketamine?

Actually, maybe it would, wouldn't it?

Those philistines at the Samuel Beckett estate should be ashamed of themselves for their rejection of my musical "Stop Waiting For Godot, I Want To Get Off."

So Hulk Hogan, why are you a great candidate for the Administrative Assistant position?

Hulk Hogan:

My t-shirt could lead you to believe that I'm a TAURUS who's a VETERAN that likes to ride MOTORCYCLES. But you would be wrong. I'm not any of those things; I just know never to underestimate them.

Quite apart from how commercially unwise it is to noise up your user base in this fashion, this is categorically untrue. Boycotts, letter-writing campaigns, direct actions, protests etc, all of which likely fall under Jay's definition of "harassment," have an excellent track record of success

It's a certain KIND of sexual charisma. You know, "niche."

Maybe I've got good poster-curation, but I've not really seen this. Nevertheless, it goes without saying that both-sidesing, or "putting into context" the murders in Manchester is odious. People were murdered in a synagogue, seemingly for no other reason than that they were Jewish.

Regrettably not true. Maybe half the Tory backbenches were priapic over her. And nicknamed her "Mummy" in that Oedipal way they have.

Spam email from the O2, because I logged into their free WiFi ONE TIME, offering me the opportunity to buy separate tickets to see Doja Cat and Professor Brian Cox, but "hilariously" phrased "Get presale tickets for Doja Cat and Professor Brian Cox" in such a way as to make it appear they're performing together.

Wow. What a collab. I guess the science thing didn't work out, so he's back on the keyboards?

🚨ALL EYES on the Sumud Flotilla🚨

As Israeli forces intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla, Greenpeace calls for the Government of Israel to allow the peaceful aid mission to continue unmolested in its mission to deliver aid to Gaza.

To be fair, "Northern Ireland Does Not Exist" is in fact the ideologically correct position, albeit not entirely in the way they understand it...

If someone is LOTO for four years, then PM for a year and a half after that, and still nobody knows what they believe in, might it not be that they don't really believe in anything?

Look, this is actually not as bad as the headline suggests (that a Two Johnnies podcast is added on to the sentence of the must egregious offenders as a form of cruel and unusual punishment.)

I think I DO want that, actually.

I accidentally bought my wife Johnny Metgod instead of Ruud Gullit for our fourth anniversary, and she didn't speak to me for a fortnight.

Though the excellent set-pieces were actually quite useful.

Like, does he not have people who explain these things to him?

Donald J Trump: "We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan "Leadership" has forced into the United States of America. Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these "Monsters." GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW, OR THE PRICE YOU PAY WILL BE INCALCULABLE!"

Have we ever established whether or not Mr Trump actually knows what "Seeking Asylum" means? And, specifically, that it's different from "Insane Asylum," an archaic and offensive term for in-person psychiatric care, which hasn't been in clinical use for almost half a century?

I think "always the same people" is a phrase that has been used as an antisemitic dog whistle in the past, isn't it?

Not from New York, so have no real right to any opinion, but what I like about Mamdani is that he genuinely seems to enjoy running for mayor.
