new verse of heads shoulders knees and toes just dropped
nothing can top the tube of cream I found in my parents’ bathroom bearing a yellowing label that read “MY BUM”
this is like when Elon turned out to be dril
Wow, poems_for_your_sprog is Edgar Allen Poe? Didn’t see that one coming
and yet when I go to john lewis and splurge on the bras I am asked to leave, Once Again it is One Rule for Us and another for Them!
I hope he has another online chat with 4 people, 2 of whom will die before the film is out.
what a day to get back from greece
Buffy often did a fake out where it looks like what’s going on is something completely stupid but it’s actually something marginally less stupid- great device for laundering wackiness
They absolutely should’ve done this with x files
Oh there she is, shouting about how you can run gigs with fairness & decency, paying your diverse array of performers promptly for their work and generally looking after everyone in the room. IMAGINE IF THAT CAUGHT ON.
(I’m on holiday otherwise I would, of course, scuttle off to my bookcase and check- instead I am using my holiday to split hairs about Tolkien online)
I thought that was in the Hobbit? /pedant but yeah, Tolkien’s sense of humour really shines through!

where does “hangdog” come from?
I've always wondered if the discussion around these games reflects the quality of the work or the fact that I happened to write lot about them. It's really a core insecurity I have the games that I've worked on. Would they speak without this critical framing (the designer diaries, etc)? 🧵
you’re telling me there are other books?
to celebrate the arrival of the british, I thought I'd try my hand at making a traditional full english breakfast. how'd I do?
I’m concerned about all these bastards

AI means to me, and probably a lot of Ordinary Working People, that you won’t be able to get a real person on the phone to report an issue & in general that the world continues to accelerate beyond sense or comprehension. If you can’t see how that helps Reform you must’ve been dropped on the head.
Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...
This looks like a good post I’ll go to my special place* to relax and read it at leisure *the bottom of the staircase at Leicester Square tube
Doctor Who characters as Dril tweets, a thread
when I was a kid I thought the Queen came to every wedding, her absence would’ve confused me more than the gender of the participants.
Yeah at our caravan site there was a pair of sisters, always called The Sisters, who lived together and looked NOTHING alike.
The fact that he felt the need to preface a cursory condemnation with “of course this is all coming from a good place” says a lot about Labour these days.
they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights
god damn I could’ve done with that last night
to be fair, the signs were there that Cumberland Sausage was a wrong ‘un
Dark is good. Struggling to think of many others.
Yeah I’ll give you that, the response to the Supreme Court ruling is this government’s to own and it’s awful.
Okay blocking you now, bye
I am begging you to learn how to say something is bad without saying “actually this is the worst thing in ten thousand years”
you literally just brought thatcher into this!
err you just said you think this govt is worse than any we’ve had in the past 36 years. That means you think all the other govts are better than them, no? Can you respond to this without resulting to childish name calling?
Or if you’re going for 36 years, Thatcher govt? With poll tax and original section 28? Better and preferable? I don’t really believe you. I think you’re the one who’s being a smug debate wanker here (to use your words)
Okay so you are saying that the Johnson government was better?
Why are you being such a dick? Honest question.
I think there are a couple of things Labour doing that Tories wouldn’t (on housing and net zero). But agreed it’s marginal. Not sure they’re “pretending to be better”- they seem to be trumpeting their shitness in the hope people will mistake it for strength.
I mean I don’t like Phil Collins* so maybe we’re coming from different angles here. *he was good in Hook
nope, I wanted to politely disagree. then in you came calling me a cunt.
I really don’t think anyone on here is a closet Tory supporter nope. Just thinking about what “this is the worst govt of the past 18 years” really means.
yeah but if you say they’re worse than the tories isn’t that a logical endpoint? I guess I could take the point if “worst” encompassed political incompetence as well as external consequences (as in, tories appeal to their base by doing this shit, labour have nothing to gain)
(if you wanted to say “I will vote for another party and/or spoil my ballot in protest” I’d have no real problem)
mainly I don’t like how one could take the initial point and say “okay to stop this I will vote Tory/Reform”
(I absolutely agree that we’re all arguing over which is the most fragrant dog turd right now)
Yeah but it doesn’t make her less right wing because she was starting from a less favourable (to her) starting post.
I agree that it’s on them that they chose to continue down this path, but the Tories would’ve done that too- it was in their manifesto! I can’t get away from the feeling that some of this is disappointment that “Labour should know better”- and they should! But it doesn’t make the Tories better.
Yeah I think that view actually makes sense, if you’re looking at how progressive or not the direct result of your policies are. But by that view, Thatcher was a leftist cos she wasn’t as harsh on immigration as the current govt. Direction and rate of travel counts.
you are the queen
you are alistair campbell, I’ve decided
you murdered your mother. I don’t have any proof but I can feel it in my heart.
also not forgiving them. but saying “actually Boris Johnson was better than this” is helping whom precisely?
I also didn’t vote for them but thank you for using your psychic powers on me
nope, not at all. I think this government is utterly disgraceful and I understand your anger. I also think other governments were worse. But it’s way closer than I would like, and this shit coming from a govt that calls itself Labour is p unforgivable.
I’m not about to vote for them but yeah I agree. RIP your mentions for pointing out the obvious though.
I do think they’re extraordinarily poor but I do think they represent an incredibly small step up from the previous 14 years. Not about to scold you for not voting for them mind.
“if you’re really roy cohn say something only he, a dead person would say” “wooooo” “shit”
I thought the cashier asked if I wanted a spork with my sandwich and I said yes bc I know it’s messy … sparkler she asked if I wanted a sparkler in my sandwich this was amazing
the great thing about this is, if they have I get to mock them, and if they haven’t it demonstrates that even llm proponents realise that the tech is fundamentally hollow and incapable of creativity! win win!
have people started saying “hey we could get ai to write winds of winter”
I do the listener so get to look down on everyone
tbf a hard normal crossword usually has lots of ambiguities whereas cryptics often have hard clues that once you get them have unambiguous solutions. rare that you need to change an entry for a cryptic.
super good- the bit where Mario jumps out of the screen is especially boss, speaking as someone who doesn’t understand any of the references

I liked the idea that there was a totem spirit out there called The American Dream, which I thought of a few years later when watching The Big Lebowski
Thing is when Harris died, Gambon picked up the role and played it differently with a different look, within the same franchise. I bet Lithgow won’t be allowed that freedom.
it’s aristotle all over again!
it is absolutely terrible at cryptic crossword clues

there’s a great Diana Wynne Jones bit where a girl who lives in another world (she’s the living incarnation of a goddess) gets given some boarding school books from our reality (or an adjacent one) & immediately gets obsessed with ponies and hockey

Quick, where’s that guy who was asking how the British use “cunt”, here’s a great example
most things that people talk about being unhealthy are things that are part of human nature. it’s unhealthy to stick a screwdriver in your eye but we don’t talk about that because no fucker does it
I’m not keen on either of them but the only time I saw Godspell I was under the impression it was Death Of A Salesman, which is a heck on handicap

1/3 of people look at porn so now masturbation is the national sport. By that definition, why isn’t doing a poo the national sport?
It’s about the Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on. I think. So Buzz is a fictional character in the Toy Story universe and the film is that character’s adventures in space. Again, haven’t seen it!
Also Eastenders (The Impossible Planet “this will be the best Christmas Albert Square has ever had” and the entirety of 30th anniversary special Dimensions In Time)
same thing happens with Doctor Who and Only Fools (Who is referenced when Raquel got an acting job as a lizardman, Only Fools is referenced in Father’s Day where Rose refers to her dad as “a bit of a del boy”)
Isn’t this what the Buzz Lightyear movie was?

well one of them was a nice young man who told the truth but the other one? well. suffice to say I won’t be buying any more shares in Pennine oil!
