Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Benoit B Mandelbrot's middle name is Benoit B Mandelbrot

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

This is excellent camera work. Elite level. Most people wouldn't even notice it.

A fully unionised workforce could all write back as one YOUR MUM.

For clarification- it's a Nazi salute.

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey:

"I cunningly tricked the enemy by immediately caving to all of their negotiation demands. I then used their confusion to get a 3rd helping at the lunch buffet and steal 2 of their pens. Another personal victory."

Ten years ago we had Bob Hope, Bob Jobs, Bob Cash, Bob Constitution, Bob Vaccines, Bob Air Traffic Controllers

Me in 1999: “That South Park movie was wacky, imagining an American imperialism so deranged that they decide to invade Canada in a crusade of censorship. 😂” Me in 2025: 😐

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

We keep having to learn the same terrible lessons over and over again. We do not need to watch our children get sick and die from measles and other diseases. We can avoid that with vaccines.

OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade. Lying & then invading is a tradition I maintain to this day.

Alright! All the people who don’t do Valentine’s Day because it’s an overblown commercial holiday designed to part chumps from their cash and you can show your partner how much you appreciate them any other day of the year, it’s your turn … startiiiing…. now!

What I love most about this is that the lower bracket is literally minimum wage

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

Hello, Radio 3. Do you have a picture of Malcolm Arnold reacting badly to the comedian using language like that in front of the lady guests at the annual golf club dinner?

This painting suggests the real reason Columbus stumbled upon America was as part of a quest to speak to Ye Olde Manager

There's an American loudly arguing with the Heathrow security team because he froze his drink into ice to get his drink through airport security screening and he's literally screaming "ICE IS A SOLID" over and over again.

This is how to be, imo!!!
