I still think my favourite thing about Vlad is that he just wants to be near me. He's very really been a lap cat, I've always appreciated when he does sit up on me though, but he just wants to be around. In the room. Hangin' out ❤️
Proposal: We give all the tax money that still inexplicably goes to Greyhound racing in this country to cinemas instead so that they don't have to play 40 minutes of ads before the trailers.
Half way up a mountain in Wales, among thousands of bits of slate, I happened to spot this. Good work, kid.
There's a lot going on here but like, is the headline the drugs, or the scooters? Or the 30k in cash? Have *any* of the deaths of people riding e-scooters and e-bikes been linked to drug dealing? Would enforcement like this work for speeding, red light running etc, if not why not?
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 2h agoOver 160 e-bikes and e-scooters were among the items that have seized during Tuesday's day of action among gardaí in Dublin. jrnl.ie/7122443
a reminder that the much-hyped new e-scooter regulations have not yet taken effect. it's almost as if existing laws were sufficient and the Gardaí could have simply been enforcing them all along

i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist
love Americans when they eat like french onion soup and go “you can really taste the onions” I’m so proud of you yknow. Big fuckin zoo animal with a credit card just 🥰

if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 19h agoLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
It's weird living in the "just because someone is a nazi doesn't mean they're antisemitic, maybe YOU'RE antisemitic for pointing it out" era.

BMW really just want to make their cars as cheap feeling as possible. Between this and the subscription heat seater they're really trying to make their cars feel as tacky as possible. Bold strategy, hope they go out of business!

Like how is even an effective advertisement? You’ve already bought the car! You don’t need an ad for it!

I remember this, it’s John Kay, who drowned his wife then drove head-on into a bridge to plead ‘diminished capacity’. The Sun kept a position open for him while he was committed, then in their obit called him ‘the greatest journalist of his generation’ and ‘everybody's mate’
Tom Usher@tomusher.bsky.social · yesterdayI remember one time when some journo cunt died (who had literally killed his fucking wife) and all the other journo cunts on twitter started eulogising him like he was a great and lovely man, even when it was pointed out he had killed his wife. Now to check the reaction to Rod Liddle dying

"Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off" doesn't really hit as a joke anymore because it seems like a far more logical subject for a musical than half the stuff off the West End at this point.

The other thing is, I bet he was cutting the back off anyone who wasn't around too, lads like that always are. Would it not give you pause to maybe think he's also possibly doing the same to you when you're not in earshot?
Sarah Donaldson@sarahdonaldson.bsky.social · yesterdayI am genuinely ASTONISHED at the number of mainstream ‘normal’ journos fawning about Rod Liddle. Just cos someone is nice to YOU or can string a decent sentence together doesn’t excuse their revolting / irresponsible behaviour. Such a terrible look. This is good tho

I don’t think-in fact-it's a bit of banter for a man to ask a woman he's working with unprompted to fuck a colleague and I don't really think this context changes if they're all musicians and I don't think it's down to Americans being 0 craic while I'm here what the fuck are we doing here
if a muslim immigrant wrote an article stating he wanted to rape british schoolchildren (as liddle did) the press now praising liddle would be outraged. not on behalf of any potential danger to children, though, they don't care about that. they'd be outraged at the writer not knowing his place
