Impressed by my perfectly baked trifle, Paul Hollywood extends his arm to offer the ultimate prize: his handshake. I clasp his hand, and then—KICK WHAM STUNNER—I crush two Steveweisers over his prone body. I have won the Bake Off.

Prepare for the classic Amazon Prime experience of abruptly breaking away for a commercial in the middle of a powerplay.

It brings me no pleasure to report that the news program that brought us legendary anchorman Mort Crim is now, itself, the Chump of the Week.
Cris (without an H)@ambignostic.bsky.social · last wk.Now here's an interesting entry for your "ethical ai" files: WDIV's website is using what appear to be doctored photos of the family with the murderous father removed. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...
It’s appalling that we correctly recognized Bumfights as exploitative yet, year after year, let Vince McMahon get away with pitting those afflicted with an uncontrollable compulsion for grappling against each other, even celebrating their mental illness in the name of this event, WrestleMania.
The viral success of Kyle Gordon’s “Mr. Jambo” this week has me wondering what Patron level it is to get access to the time machine that jumps straight to 1986 to get early access to @andrewhickey.500songs.com’s sure-to-be fascinating episode on Paul Simon’s “Graceland.”
It’s just fascinating what a textbook example this is of butchering a joke: bad timing, pointless detail, laughing at his own joke, explaining the joke, defending the joke, and finally attacking the writers.

I keep getting these ads for BetMGM with this guy, whom I cannot help thinking of as Scumbag James Mirtle.

Just unlocked a new stage of fatherhood by instinctively blurting “For crying out loud!” as a first response to adversity.
very good i am glad you all came... a few words on our collective moment
For real, though, the objection to being called “USian” reminds me of the objection to being called “cis”: They absolutely cannot handle not being considered the default.
“USian” isn’t actually a necessary term because the rest of us easily distinguish between “North Americans,” “South Americans” and “Fucking Americans.”
We’re like a week away from unironic “‘USian’ is a slur” discourse.
Demanding we not call them “USians” because they find it annoying has such “please don’t let ‘skeets’ stick” energy.
I’m going to go set a forest on fire right now. Fuck that guy.
Trump’s new tariffs are a pathetic response that do nothing to affect Canada’s largest export: smoke.
Honestly, this one hurts, because I woke up this morning with an ocular condition that makes it very painful to roll my eyes.

Canadians, it's time to double (or triple) down on boycotting American products and travel. Just don't buy American stuff if at all possible. There is plenty of great stuff from countries whose leaders don't treat us like crap.

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.
WIRED@wired.com · 3w agoYesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
I’ve undoubtedly seen worse movies in the theatre than Spice World, but it’s my official answer here because my then-girlfriend dragged me to see it and then glared at me accusingly as we left and snapped “I hope you’re happy.”

Look, it’s not our fault. It used to be easy to put these fires out with all the acid rain you guys used to send us.
