A man in France is accused of drugging more than 200 women at a job interview.
He gave them a drug to make them need to urinate, and then made sure they didn’t have access to a toilet.
Many had to urinate in public or have accidents.
This is why we choose the bear.

Leave motion smoothing on this year. Who cares. Your parents or in-laws are upscaling a compressed HD image to 4K anyway. Also nothing matters.

If ever you find yourself visiting Oxford, why not take a walk round, & see if you can spot any of these "famous cats of Oxford."
I wonder if anyone will spot the cat puns in the story too.

Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

This movie has Linda Fiorentino, Terri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Cheech & Chong... and Scorsese's mom in an early diner scene with Rosanna Arquette
Rewatching Scorsese's After Hours and realizing it's a totally different movie if you stop thinking Griffin Dunne is the protagonist. He's a dick. he deserves to be run over by the Mr Softee truck

I’m sorry, this is the most ridicularious thing I’ve ever read. I assumed “twelve tide turns” was an Ozian way of saying YEARS, because… 🧵
At this point I’ve come to appreciate how the people who wrote the musical gave absolutely no thought to any kind of internal consistency. What tide? The sand tide?
My most generous estimate was always that there was maybe like a five year gap between act one and two but one year is crazy.

I did a cover of Adele's "Someone Like You" but did NOT sing on it, singing like her is hard, who knew, but the instrumental track is nice and calm and pretty, so maybe you'll like it.

Has science researched why some people can't see motion-smoothing? [And is it in any way related to the ability to decipher the image in those optical illusion posters that used to be in the mall?]

did you know that parantheses open a portal to another dimension, and whatever you put inside them is not only NOT a part of the original sentence but rather is, in fact, extraterrestrial? read the literature for God's sake

Where have all the low baritones gone? Whither the chest resonance, the Prysocks, the Hartmans? Why must screlting be the only male vocal expression?

Anyone involved with the early days of Comedy Meltdown, this was the delightful Linda Pine who was killed. She was always such a bright light as an actor and a producer.
Hey, if you know ANYTHING about this, please help identify the driver in this hit-and-run. They just killed a very old and dear friend of mine and I am shattered by this news.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
