MUGGER: give me all your jewelry, pal ME: *hands him my friendship bracelet* ok...pal MUGGER [visibly excited]: omg

Maybe the most illustrative sentence about what’s going on that I’ve read in weeks.

Measuring scone height with a seam gauge, for science

That's a Gary Larson character

It's only just occurred to me but his entire descriptive style is based on late-night shopping-channel presenter isn't it? That's his verbal style sheet.

Oh, DISAPPOINTING byeeee chris

"It's just sports, what does it matter?"

Maybe a weird parallel to AI but I feel like aging, working out, and dealing with an injury have really driven home the idea that if you are able to do stuff, even if it is boring or tedious, you should, because if you don't, you will lose the ability to do it later

Here’s the meaning behind every thread; it’s so, so, moving.

c’mon gimme a break it’s still winter 😭

AI is ruining the voiceover industry

This. I'm raising a young man and I'm fighting tooth and nail to make sure he gets a firm understanding of how he is a target. A big part of that is calling hate what it is and expressing to him how we simply don't tolerate that crap in our family through my words AND my actions.

Welcome to the public domain, BLACKMAIL (1929)! 🎞️ While not the first British sound feature, it’s the first to masterfully weave sound into its storytelling. Pure #Hitchcock brilliance! ➡️ https://blog.archive.org/2025/01/01/welcome-to-the-public-domain-in-2025 #PublicDomain #InternetArchive

If these men whining about traditional masculinity wanted real heroes they would glom onto Zelensky. But no, they prefer their masculinity avatars to play golf (Trump),have lots of money (Elon), traffic women (Tate, allegedly), lie unashamedly(Trump & Elon), & celebrate cruelty (Trump & Elon).

THIS IS THE THING. It isn't "the woke" or equality that's shaming these young men. It's the very figureheads they follow, who tell them they are nothing (if they don't emulate that rapey criminal figurehead). And it's our governments, who have done NOTHING to hold social media to account.

i have to congratulate his Estate for one of the single most useful FAQs i've ever seen

How it started (Obama) How it’s going (Trump)

wrote a book about this, and what to do about it: www.routledge.com/How-to-Talk-...

Stop normalizing the grind and normalize whatever this is

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The existence of the freemasons implies the existence of an upgraded ProMasons with unlimited tech support and extra storage and a further ProMasons Teams for up to five individual devices

At a London bus stop. The Brits are telling it like it is.

Just seen Farage and Truss (grifting over in the US) described as "the Slug and Lettuce".

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, this is my shocked face 😒

A nice time to start the week: Maine Governor Janet Mills making Trump seethe in his shoe lifts. See you in court! www.wonkette.com/p/lets-enjoy...

Some of you have never been chased around a mysterious island community by a giant wobbling white sphere and it really fucking shows

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

I wrote about my brother Charlie’s final 48 hours, and his increasingly desperate attempts to track down an emergency supply of medication from the NHS. It’s an upsetting read but one I’m proud of. He’d be delighted to have made the @financialtimes.com magazine front cover: on.ft.com/434zZqn

If you know, you know.

So many people have so little understanding of where the money governments use for spending comes from. People assume it’s tax because telling people it’s from tax is the best way to get people to vote for right wing parties. This is why people in the US believe they’ll get a DoGE stimulus check

I just got some warm and fuzzy feelings inside 🥰

Important FYI: if you’ve run out of prescribed meds, a pharmacist can give you them *without a prescription* in an emergency.
