Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy.

He went alone and beat the odds.

@twirlynoodle.com it’s all true, Conclave never beating the ‘Anglican movie about Catholics’ allegations

friendly reminder the image is language too and not just a product of the language that describes it in the same way the circumference isn't the circle

Hooray! I’m so glad you’re a fan!

George and Wheedon Grossmith’s ‘Diary of a Nobody’ is truly the funniest thing, and so gentle, also nice and quick

my favourite miracle is when jesus is healing the blind guy with his spit and he fully does the "better or worse?" optometrist thing a few times til he gets it right and the dude is like "i can KIND of see people but they look like spooky trees walking??" and jesus is like "ok almost there one sec"

Still from an episode of Columbo. He is is a restaurant kitchen next to a woman in red. Closed caption reads “That smells like beef. Is that beef?”

Same as before, Columbo in a kitchen with the woman in a red outfit. He’s leaning over the gas hob. Closed caption reads: “That’s beef.”

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

Boss move for Ramaphosa would be to offer Musk political asylum.

Scientists at Loughborough University create 'world's smallest violin' The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

Bet all those people who said Suetonius was making shit up "because emperors didn't really act that way" are feeling pretty fucking stupid tonight

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.

@clairewillett honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion 6:00 PM • Aug 12, 2020

The TNG Enterprise bridge crew. None of these people have a beverage. Not a cupholder in sight. Hell, Worf doesn't even get a chair. Standing desk only.

Star Trek is this weird space-themed workplace drama where no one is allowed to have coffee or a water bottle. (Picard gets tea because he has a private office.) Everyone else is presumably dehydrated all the time, which works out because they have to take an elevator to find the nearest bathroom

A colour in page of St luke writing his gospel, and his clothes are coloured in as a rainbow

A colouring in page of St John, and he's in a pink robe and a thin green/black choker has been drawn around his neck

Still obsessed with the fact that, entirely without direction, the kids decided to dress St Luke in rainbows, and make St John a twink with a 90's choker.

A headline from The Times, with Nick Clegg saying that requiring permission from copyright holders to train AI on their word would 'kill' the AI industry. Boo fecking hoo.

A takeaway from this debate - pretty much all the supportive MPs quoted their constituents as to why they support trans rights. We are cutting through

Keep writing to your MPs. If you wrote last month, write again. Write to your MP until you can’t type anymore. Make our voices impossible to ignore

I was on French Exchange when John Paul II died and my friend's exchange's pet rabbit also died, leading her mother to utter the immortal words <Le pape est mort, le lapin est mort, tout le monde est mort.>

this is not an exaggeration

Disability Rights UK is shocked and appalled at the Government’s intended cuts to the benefits that Disabled people rely upon. Narrowing eligibility for Personal Independence Payment and reducing the health component of Universal Credit, will drive millions of Disabled people into even deeper poverty. The Government is demonising and punishing Disabled people for the economic failures of successive governments. Why isn’t it looking to the rich, to plug its funding gap? This is a very distressing time for Disabled people who could be impacted by the proposed changes. We will do everything we can to fight them and as part of the Disabled people’s movement, will make our voices heard.

Oh man. Anyone else really looking forward to the ides of March this year?

See I missed The Brutalist and didn’t have this comparison but I did enjoy them all being, yeah, often prat-like :D

Ikr! In fairness mainly I liked how many songs were in it, Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. As a Dylan film it needed to be weirder. But very enjoyable, good storytelling! And Timmy is great in it, after all…

(Also I am a Jennifer and I don’t as such mind having a fancy formal name that I keep in a cupboard and only bring out on special occasions but it does feel a *little* bit less like me…)

My grandmother was christened Betty, so it’s not a *completely* new game…
