LW Theatres - yes, LW as in Andrew Lloyd Webber - just emailed me an ad for (overpriced) deodorant. Are they trying to tell me one of their upcoming productions stinks?

Don't try this at home, kids. (...unless you live in Tokyo.)

Is covering your entire upper body with cooling strips enough to fend off Japan’s summer heat?

Mr. Sato thinks it might be, and when was the last time he had an idea that didn’t pan out?

Today on Duolingo, Oscar is apparently planning to bury some bodies.

Five minutes ago, it rained for about forty-five seconds. The evidence lasted less than two minutes.

"...exquisitely combining reverential devotion with a bunch of bitchy skanks." Let me once again thank my rampaging insomnia for the gift that is Margaret Pomeranz:

Charlotte is going to need a LOT of therapy later.

Today on Duolingo, Zari's got balls:

I suspect that this ludicrous headline will go down in media history as much as ones such as 'Freddie Starr ate my hamster' have. Just because it comes from a broadsheet won't diminish how infamous it will be.

Jason Hickel@jasonhickel.bsky.social · 5d ago

This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?

Today's inspirational message:

Given the way they've repeatedly delayed announcing an on-sale date, this is not much of a surprise. (...and I hope she's OK.)
