Woman on a bus (reading from an article): Have you ever discussed your fantasies with your partner? Her friend: Like the one where I’m in a cottage by the sea completely on my own with a book and a cup of tea?
Being anti-gay is dumb. Do you care what flavor icecream someone else eats? I don't.

I don't get why people get excited about someone winning the primary election.
Austria has set a new all time temperature record of 41.0°C today. 9 separate weather stations recorded >40°C as heatwaves & record temperatures continue to impact the Northern Hemisphere.
This is fun. I bought some contact lenses online based on my prescription, and I wasn't comfortable. Today I did an experiment. I put the right eye contact into my left eye. That seemed to work. The other way around didn't work. Then I put right eye contacts in both eyes. Bingo. Perfect vision.
FYI: Eight billion people use metric. Four hundred million people use imperial. If you happen to be an imperial units user, you can reach more people by adding metric. Also, your country silently switched to metric decades ago. You just have ignored the memo.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Breaking News! Code: Bonkers! As of July 31st, Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are now 2.48°C above the 1991-2020 baseline and more than 1.15°C above the previous daily high. The Climate Casino took the "Over" on 2.5°C by August 1st. Stay tuned!
Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?
The Access Hollywood Tape should've ended his career (politically or otherwise)
Fifty thousand people have entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta swimming in just a couple of days. Forty three thousand have been returned already. Fifty seven people have drowned. This is undoubtedly a campaign by Morocco to influence Spanish politics. Fifty thousand lives at risk for politics
I just gave my seventeen year old niece some life advice. She hasn't replied yet. Oh, well.
My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
I always wondered what it would take for the Telegraph to decide there might be a downside to climate breakdown. Well, now we know. Even so, this article manages not to mention it.
My 43 years experience in education affirms this is largely true: “Homeschooling is trickle-down stupidity.” - Jennifer Welch
Why? Why don't they put cameras on the fenders of big cars so that drivers can check on screen if it's safe to drive? Big cars have big visibility problems. This idea 💡 is free. No patent pending or shit.
The best way to get rich is to scam people. When you get caught, arrested, and even convicted, you just pay Trump for a royal pardon. ~ Truth
The best way to become a billionaire is being born to rich parents. Good luck with that! Meritocracy, my arse!
I talked to a cabbie yesterday who was very happy with his hybrid taxi. He: "I don't believe pure EVs have a future" He: "The batteries. The range. The chargers are few and always broken. The grid will not be able to manage" Me: "All solvable problems. Have you seen the new battery chemistries?"
If you’re still on Twitter, first off EW Second, don’t post screenshots here saying “people were mean to me on Twitter.” Fuck Twitter.
To state the obvious, both Putin and Trump could end their illegal wars by retreating. It's as simple as that. ~ For more unnecessary political insights, follow me.
Went to the dentist. She: I saw you went to the dentist in Vigo. Me: Yes. My molar broke. She: I need an x-ray. Vigo doesn't share with us. Me, talking to the technician: They did an x-ray in Vigo. He: I'll call them. It's going to take time. Later, he: Got it! My dentist: Reschedule. Fuck
The Cyber truck is a failure. Is that because it's a shitty car? Is that because Elon is a Nazi? Is it both? Is it something else? I guess it's more because it's a shitty car than anything else. Does anybody know?
