I think you're onto something there. Funny how placing emphasis on a different word in a sentence can change its meaning.

As a Brit I could pull down the whole thing by putting the emphasis there too. If I said it was quite good it would mean it was alright, 7/10, if I said it was QUITE good, I could mean it was terrible or I am at least probably asking you to ask me to elaborate.

I'm sorry I said your poem about the little hedgehog was predictable and that the rhyme wasn't really working properly.

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.

When we had a restaurant in Vermont I made real hand-raised, hot water crust pork pies for a special and let me assure you, the locals devoured them very happily indeed.

I know many have made this point but, for those who believe in Catholic theology, this is the physical presence of Christ appearing on the door of the US Government and being denied as that agency ran away from Christ.

The symbolism alone of that hits very hard for anyone raised as a Catholic.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

She’s probably trying to be well meaning, but yes, it comes across as a bit hypocritical.

Her kids don’t have phones - no, but they don’t have to walk through South London to get to school either.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
