There is nothing that sums up the modern world better than the scores of people horrified that Trump and Musk's antics have started to impact *them*. "You weren't meant to do this to *me*!!"

A good day 🩵 #pusb

Two Weeks In The Death Spiral Of Cardiff University, by an anonymous academic. This is truly shocking read. The Cardiff executive board should hang their heads in shame. voice.cymru/two-weeks-in...

Went to see Greg Davies tonight. He told a story about "an ex-girlfriend I dates for seven years and hadn't spoken to for seven years". I spent the whole story thinking "is he talking about Liz Kendall?" And he confirmed that he was, indeed, talking about Liz Kendall

Thought you'd all appreciate a timeline cleanse: Peaches surveying her domain 🍑

fucking hell

Looking at this nonsense from another angle: How many comedians are going to be happy performing to audiences of people being forced to go cold turkey off SSRIs?

Where I live is a collection of classic English towns/villages joined together by a modern, metropolitan student town. Everyone is happy, the greenery is stunning, the culture is wonderful and there are outstanding pubs, restaurants and activities. I haven't once missed London since we left

How things get made, what happens to things when they're done/never used, how many things are wasted compared to used

The Shawshank Redemption. I watched it when I was 12 and going through horrific bullying, it was the first time I ever watched a movie and realised that art can make you engage on a personal level and identify with characters and themes. Andy crawling through shit can be a metaphor for anything

What's a movie that is wildly considered bad but you love it proudly?

Having a day where I wish my brain was made out of whatever it is brains are usually made of, rather than rotting garbage

I don't think it's possible to quantify what £250k is in comparison to the national budget, it will literally make zero difference whatsoever

Is there any clearer example of the commercial property investor class’ grip on the media than constant articles criticising working from home

Picked up a print at Barras Market

At the airport. The amount of people listening to their phones without headphones is actually kind of staggering. When and how did this become standard behaviour?

What I say when my wife tells me to have a nice day at the office

omg my local area is on tonight's apprentice

1. Bob's Bad Day on the Amiga 2. Super Mario RPG 3. Kingdom Hearts 4

Who is this for? I don't mean that rhetorically. Literally, who? What sliver of the UK electorate simultaneously a) wants these policies b) will switch **from Reform to Labour** because of them c) will be swayed by the mortifying, GCSE Bitesize Grammar Module execution of those mocked-up texts?

Speed

This thread is sending me to the moon. The video game industry is fucked beyond any meaningful redemption, it is cooked, it is over. The medium that's brought me joy my entire life and was my refuge during a miserable adolescence is in the fucking dirt

Missing a 95th minute winner because I ducked out after 94 to make the train 🌚

Hands caked in dog shit I nearly stood in and took it upon myself to pick up because some twat couldn't be arsed to pick up after their dog. I truly despise the selfish pricks that walk amongst us.

Young people, hell anyone under the age of, say, 40 has spent their entire life watching everything get worse, watching the world around them be dictated by the whims of rich boomers and being told that they're spoiled, selfish and stupid for wanting what the generations before them got

lol

There have been very few, if any, movie scenes since 2010 as funny as the funeral fight scene in The Other Guys

proper fucking made up that unforgotten is back

I've figured out the exact spot to stand at the platform to be at the train doors when it arrives at my home station and directly opposite the barriers at my work station. Feels like my little victory against the system

“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak

"Amandaland" (BBC) is absolutely amazing, I'm laughing my ass off
