I like the idea of a Tudor galleon with so many cannons it almost sank and it somehow has the name of a cartoon character who encourages kids to eat more fruit

Re. Farage being racist in his youth, imo is not that much of a story or a suprise. But if it tells us anything today, it's that the lesson Farage learnt in his youth was that it could be fun to bully people, and that he has built several political movements that valorise being a dickhead

Good that someone has finally just come out and said it. You can only be one star sign or the other - if not, it wouldn’t make sense

Micro-macro paradox of the US left is that the liberals have command of the detail but often miss the bigger and more important picture, and the shitposters are stoned and angry and 90% correct but don’t have the practical detail to force themselves into being taken seriously

For a while I toyed semi-seriously with the idea that KS was spooky, due to his time prosecuting terrorists as the DPP.
Increasingly swinging back towards the idea that actually he’s in a big folder, filed under “useful fuckwit, just stand back and don’t bother to get involved”

Ah, but are British political, media and economic elites intelligent and informed? No. Sure, but are they wise and reasonable? Also no. Are they charismatic leaders? No. Masters of wit and rhetoric? No. Can they crack a joke? No. Conventionally attractive? No. Do they look vaguely human? Do they fu

i grew up in vegas. even out by what was then the bare desert, the light from paradise was bright enough that the planets were barely ever visible, easy enough to confuse for airplanes. i grew up on an earth with an empty night sky - just the earth, the moon, and the dull orange light of the strip
can’t fucking catch a breath

Great movie, in large part just because it’s full of stuff like this

Sometimes wonder if what the UK needs is a thinktank that doesn't do any new research, it just repeats obviously true statements that people try to ignore because they're inconvenient.

The headline is irresistable of course (and it’s surely only become worse in the last decade and a bit) but ironically the responsibility lies wholly with the media - where does the British public get these bizarre misconceptions from? Who can say?

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

This is a fantastic thread about shifting norms of propriety and how they intersect (or don’t) with what people are trying to communicate with ways that they act and dress
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

The reasons the Greens are doing well (in England, not speaking for the devolved nations) is that they’re literally the only party to advance anything other than the politics of performative cruelty

its kind of crazy to think SGT PEPPERS was as old in 1991 when NEVERMIND came out as IS THIS IT is today in 2025
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.

Darkly funny that Starmer and the Blue Labour lot currently squandering a generational opportunity to do something useful, are all inspired by a person who is 1) deeply unpleasant 2) profoundly stupid
There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.
