Not necessarily in that order.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

This, I feel, is the only truly sane reaction to the Barkley Marathons.

Thank heavens the runners don't feel the same way.
Fuck me 😱 #BM100
One of the runners still on loop 1 has a 100 mile PR of just over 15 hours. We are 27 hours into the #BM100.

After watching all day the issue is simple: the runners have to go faster than one mile an hour. #BM100

Oooooft!
We have had our first loop 2 runner drop out of the race. 11 runners remain on loop 2; 7 runners are still on loop 1 (well over the time limit). #BM100

The popularity of football is 99% down to the fact that it gives dull men something to talk to each other about.

I am beyond angry at the way trans children are being systematically persecuted.

The full power, violence and force of our state is smashing down onto them, making their life impossible.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

Well, I'd no idea All Cairns existed up to yesterday.

But I can't help thinking that the last royal marine commando/ party leader combo was Paddy Ashdowm.

Who took the lib dems straight to a commanding third place.

Here endeth the incisive political comment.

People hitting their thirties and complaining on socials how this & that hurt now need to get a fucking grip. Your thirties are a wellspring of energy and renewal. They're going to be unbearable hitting their 50s.
