Necessity may be the mother of invention, but its father is laziness. Procrastination is what separates us from the animals. Putting this in my bio because I guess you have to now, but I do not authorize my posts to be used for AI training.

The Conservatives ran the UK for 14 years but the only tactic they know is "It's us against the elites." Sadly, it works there (and elsewhere) because the neoliberal left abandoned their working class roots.

Not to speculate, but I will because it's social media, a kid died so someone had to pay. The 78 year old SUV driver wasn't the right kind of person for it so they went for the grieving parents.

My unprovable hill I'll die on is that Leto's Joker - especially the on from Snyder's Justice League - is as close to a Jim Carrey Joker we'll get in this timeline. Seriously, with the voice and cadence he's 2 steps from a sinister "Alrighty then."

To be clear, he knows this isn't true. He's not that far gone. But he knows his followers will believe him. And again, to be clear, he is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES reposting unhinged nonsense. I know it's a cliche, but any other president... Your institutions continue to fail you.

Tiktok keeps showing me Lego animations of old Suzy Eddie Izzard bits and, my god, she's one of the best to do it. Saw her show in the 90s. Kids, if you've never heard her standup then do yourself a giant favour and go look some shows up.

There was a British politician in the 80s named Norman Tebbit who was kind of a prick. The satirical puppet show Spitting Image would always have him dressed as an SS officer Anyway, he looked like Stephen Miller.

They don't need facts and research because they know what's best so why would they waste time researching and fact-checking a report when they can just get AI to spit out something that confirms their beliefs.

The BBC obtained a mobile phone that was smuggled out of North Korea. The level of control the regime holds over its citizens is shocking but not surprising.
