the invention of urban society was mostly thousands of guys beating each other to death with handmade weapons in the hopes that some of them would get to stop farming

Watching Shrek and Lord Farquaad is basically just a gigachad

That’s it, the internet is over. Everyone go outside.

It's been tough to look at Bluski lately. It feels like I'm visiting a friend who I like but who's constantly telling me about all the horrible things going on in the world and with them personally, just a constant stream of Very Bad Stuff.

I just asked my pharmacist if my ear was a bit blocked and he had a look and SCREAMED and told me to go to A&E immediately so off I go, gang!

ACAB includes HP printers

Don’t you dare “circle back” on January 2nd!!! We gonna ease into this mess as a COMMUNITY.

reddit continues to unintentionally produce the funniest people and situations imaginable

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain

Musk versus Loomer fight is classic. The ruler’s scheming eunuch is involved in a power struggle with his concubine while he blissfully ignores his responsibilities in his palatial Southern estate. Been done a billion times from Byzantium to Beijing.
