As you behold it, you involuntarily yield the immense superiority to him, in point of pervading dignity.

Although I'm a perfectly legal adult in my 30s, I used my brother's identity to verify my age on Pornhub. I don't want the government or the data companies knowing my weird kinks.

One of my most popular tweets.

So just so we’re on the same page: Does Belgium battering the USA go any way to wiping their ledger clean of the whole “let’s keep African people in human zoo exhibit until 1958” (yes you read that right, 1958) Either way I think it’s going to take more than a football tournament for Rwanda.

If you didn't bother to watch the Farage press conference, here's the short version:

"Apart from hacking tasks, the curriculum also covers information warfare. Advanced students must complete a seminar on developing a disinformation campaign, the documents suggest, tasked with creating a social media video using “manipulation, pressure and hidden propaganda”."

Revealed: Russia’s top secret spy school teaching hacking and election meddling

Exclusive: Documents obtained by journalists show the role of ‘Department 4’ within a Moscow University in training operatives for the military

I KNEW Geese are a PsyOp. No one that bland could get that much hype organically faroutmagazine.co.uk/a-bands-mark...

Geese's marketing is nothing new and not the problem

Marketing in music is nothing new, nor is the process Geese used to promote their work. Yet while actual issues need to be addressed, fans are too busy squabbling

It’s ALWAYS the biggots

The equivalent of a congressional district has just elected a candidate from a party roughly comparable to the DSA. Does that really qualify as “insane” versus, y’know, the events on any given day in US politics right now?

Honest question: why are UK politics so insane? Obvious glass houses situation, so, yes, stipulated but what gives?

They all thought we were a small-minded racist little backwater who'd bow down to their hateful rhetoric with little effort on their part. They expect a fight in Brighton Pavilion, they never thought they'd have to fight in Gorton. They were so wrong.

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit

‘We left with all of my children’ is a hell of a sentence, whilst giving evidence about the president’s mate, isn’t it.

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island? LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

Well it took 2 days and more money than I’d care to admit, but the Hachis Parmentier is done.

I'm gonna have a big ol bag of chips and I don't look and sound like a desiccated meatball trying desperately to speak human English so whose diet is really working here?

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

Apple Music pays around $50 million annually to sponsor the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL pays the performers $1,246 for the performance, the minimum allowable SAG rate for theatrical performances. I love how that's considered peak success in the music industry. 🫠

McSweeny resigning is the best thing that could happen to this country right now. I don’t care if Starmer becomes a lame duck, at least we won’t get policies that will hand Reform the election

Like, what's frustrating about Morgan McSweeney more than anything is he is just really, really obviously a massive prick. If you had a workmate like him, you'd hate him. If he was your relative, you'd hate him. If you saw him in a pub, you'd hate him instantly. He just absolutely radiates it.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Not entirely sure it’s real, but it’s well worth a read

This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine
