Anytime the song "It's Raining Men" is mentioned, I automatically think "not no more it ain't".
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Once you've read this, also have a look at this blog entry in relation to McLean's arseholery: www.patgodwin.com/2015/04/14/t...

Still, I suppose he was a genius of sorts. "American Pie" is the only song I know that is both deeply pretentious and yet sounds like Chas & Dave at the same time.

I know there's a massive amount going on but the government amending the arbitration act to sign us up to CETA needs serious coverage and the risks of corporate courts need to be spelled out.

Having read the report, you'll be shocked to discover it does not include a single example of any "censorship" by the Irish regulator during the Irish General Elections.

Thinking of those relatively junior civil servants who were jailed for substantial periods for leaking information in return for relatively small amounts of reward during the hacking scandal.

Kate Nash says that she doesn't think that she would have been able to have the career that she has if she was starting out now. This makes us wonder, how many talented, emerging musicians are being priced out of touring by post-Brexit barriers?
February 3, 2026 at 4:47 PM
She's a pure drop. I hope they listen, but fear they won't.
Kate Nash on the importance of touring in the EU:

"If we have less opportunities to do that, we're at risk of losing that status [as the centre of the cutting edge of music].

"And it will have a knock-on effect on the UK economy."

The Minneapolis protests are resonating with the country because there has been no rioting or property damage! Stephen Miller wants a fight with black bloc anarchists.
If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

Cannot be stressed enough that there is a crucial and fundamental aspect of the Jeffrey Epstein story that directly corresponds with the Jimmy Savile story, to wit: Everybody knew.
Also its the rules you have to read it bc i spent part of my birthday emailing with one of the Epstein book contributors (he wrote a poem and, uh, has stuff to say)

I always think stuff like this depends on framing the setup in such a way that it leads people not to consider it as a logical question about probabilities, so yeah, essentially a parlour trick.

There's a test in psychology called The Linda Test which purports to measure unconscious bias and the conjunction fallacy.

But I'm delighted to hear that contemporary psychologists consider it to be a parlour game with no actual value beyond wellactually-ing people.

It's not even in the top 1, 000 most important or relevant points about the Epstein Files but what was the deal with his writing style?

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...
