The *elegance* of the language the judge uses to say "What the actual fuck is wrong with you people?" makes me swoon.

Ugh. So the estrogen suppressors I'm on to starve the last vestiges of my tumour baby is causing certain perimenopause symptoms to start up again. Which is why, even though it's 15 degrees out, I've got my windows open and the fan going. UGH.

They're in a perpetual state of quantum uncertainty until someone busts out the measuring tape.

When I saw them in Vancouver this summer, Andy McCluskey said "It's only taken 40 years, but we finally had someone offer to pay us to use our music in an advert. But then we said no 'cos he's a twat." (Band launches into "Tesla Girls" - crowd of mostly 50-somethings goes absolutely apeshit.)

Read this thread for a frankly breathtaking example of the utter garbage you get when Techbrahs try their hand at law.

Although if you say "I have an issue that's important to me, huh, I guess I will try Vibe Lawyering," I am basically ok with whatever happens to you.

The bros are at it again! and make no mistake, they are LITERALLY calling it "Vibe Lawyering"

I mean, they're great in the wintertime, but do you know how *hot* Ottawa is during the summer? Like, 30-32 degrees Celsius, and that's before you take the humidity into account.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

"The total private school grant was increased by 10.3 per cent in the 2025 budget. The hike was just 4.5 per cent for public schools, well short of inflation plus population growth. Per-student spending on private schools is expected to grow to $544 million by 2027-28."
