I also kind of feel like if more babies are important, it's a good idea to prioritize a moratorium on making larger and larger parts of the planet too hot/too dry/too polluted/too salty/too flooded/too dangerous for human beings to live.

I know this one's bullshit, but if I ran a fertility clinic, I would seriously consider making a rule forbidding employees who are capable of producing sperm from handling donor sperm. There have been too many stories about serial sperm donors.

Everyone's standing still and watching the speaker rather than walking up to the geese or making eye contact with them, so they don't think their goslings are at risk.

I wouldn't have thought there were enough hen parties to keep them in business.

The soldiers shambling along to Fortunate Son were hilarious.

(This is how bad America under Trump has made the world: I’m actually somehow defending Trooping the Colour.)

That's what I mean! It's OBVIOUS that they're deliberately slacking, because the only time you see marching that bad is when it's deliberate. Hell, these little kids forming a testudo have better discipline.

Where I'm from, that's something that soldiers do when crossing bridges in case the vibrations collapse the bridge. Old bridges sometimes have a RANKS BREAK STEP sign.

My 90s nostalgia is because good things happened then. Remember how everyone decided that it was good to have an ozone layer, and we'd all just have to agree to have smaller hair? Or that suddenly there was medicine for AIDS that really worked, and people stopped dying?

Yes, but you'd think that somebody at some point would have said "hey, we can't play this song at a military parade, you know what it's actually ABOUT" so I'm calling malicious compliance.

Trump loves that song and used to play it at rallies until John Fogerty threatened to sue him.

That's why it's the most brilliant malicious compliance.

Someone's got a rollicking sense of humour to put Fortunate Son on the playlist.

Playing Fortunate Son was brilliant though.

This story made me think of this video of a juvenile bird struggling to eat because they never had to catch their own food before.

Oh, Jay does out-of-London reviews all the time. What he very rarely does are out-of-London STINKERS. (I'll never forget that Yorkshire place with flat caps for bread baskets.)

I moved my futon to the landing in order to get the full effect of the AC. I can't figure out whether the cats are thinking "are you hurt, this is not a human sleeping place" or "as you are now several metres closer to the stairs, WHERE IS BREAKFAST?"

Are there still endless reruns of older cartoons? I remember watching cartoons with my dad that he'd originally seen in the cinema when he was a boy.

I have seen people proudly boasting that they got one over on the greedy supermarkets by bringing their own bags.

Guinness has to be allowed to settle halfway through, which takes time. If it's first in the order, the bartender can pour all the other drinks while the Guinness is settling.

It's a very deliberate move on their part. "Go on, rough up a grandma while everyone's watching, I DARE you"
