TONIGHT WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING A CLOWN-DISCO.
When I worked for The Onion, practically everyone who visited the office would ask how they could submit headlines. This one stoner delivery guy was so persistent, we finally told him he could submit 10 headlines on spec and we'd take a look. First one on his list was "Shit and poop are Stinky!!!"
Jon Bois@jonbois.bsky.social · 6d agoif i wrote for the onion i'd write a headline that was like "Breaking News: The president is an orange!" and then you'd click it and the article would be like "An orange-haired no-good crook, that is!" that might seem a little mean-spirited but the way i see it, i'd get a click and you'd get a laugh

Arthur let out a low groan. He was horrified to discover that the kick through hyperspace hadn't killed him.
I think about this clip all the time, it was like a dating game or something, men standing in queue behind the guy at the mic, and the woman behind the table says "what's your favorite Joe Rogan episode" and he says "oh great question--" and she says "no, that was a trick question, goodbye"

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Peter Andre! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!
I just knew we'd get this bollocks. Farage - like the Telegraph- doesn't want progress or anything to improve he just wants Britain to sit in a miserable slump in which he can holler constantly about "migrants" and drink pints in slow motion videos with people who pine for WW2.
Nightmare for a friend of mine in London. Please share.
You don’t have to like this guy‘s politics to recognize that everyone who has insisted for decades that The Issues are almost all too complicated and too nuanced to explain to voters let alone address was lying to you.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 4w agoIf it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
