I'm reminded of an old NME TV listing: "This week on Later with Jools, The Orb. Try playing fucking boogie woogie piano over that, you cunt"
My partner just asked "Has what's his name piano wanker started on the telly yet?"

Used to have a neighbour who always ignored me. Not sure why, probably deserved it. One day I'm out on a run, miles from home, a long, straight stretch of road, and I see him walking towards me, way ahead. Only us in the world. It's a few mins before our paths cross. I say "alright?"
He ignored me.

I know you should never read the comments, but I love comments under recipes, which are invariably variations on "I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a kitchen, I have somehow fucked up this very simple recipe, and it is all your fault"

Unfortunately just had to listen to Mr Brightside, and the thought once more occurs that he either needs to go over there and spark the cunt out or go on the pull and get over it. Either way, moping helps nobody.

I've deleted my RT of the robot kicking the man in the balls thing, as my TL is now wall to wall that, and you don't need me cluttering your feed up with the same thing that literally everyone is posting.
It is very funny, though.

OK, less contentious post:
You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?
For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

Somebody really needs to make these cos-playing weirdos get a proper job. Senior Policy Fellow indeed. Six weeks on the tills at Asda and all this shite is beaten right out of him.
Harrison Pitt accuses the King of treachery. Pitt is a Senior Policy Fellow for Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, who also regularly co-hosts podcasts with his ally Tomlinson (who advocates banning all ethnic and faith minorities from public office). Like Lowe, Pitt is keen to dissolve boundaries/norms

I've wished the late night so and so's a Merry Christmas, so best to wish the bright'-eyed morning R?TL one, too, to be even-handed. Merry Christmas to you all!

Wolf Alice are one of those bands, like Biffy Clyro, that I just find entirely unmemorable. I'm aware they exist, and are well regarded, but you could play me ten of their songs, that I've previously heard, tell me it was them and I'd still look at you blankly.

I'm actually in real life a professional chef, and I have zero fucking idea where people get this time from. Genuinely very envious.
Imagine having a list of favourite cookbooks of 2025. Imagine having had time to cook even a single recipe from a single cookbook in order to have *one* favourite cookbook of 2025.
