Pharrell Williams confirmed as another world famous multi-millionaire who chose to live in a house that looks like it should be called the North Strabane Esat-Digifone Retail Hub & Business Park.

Looking at this pic of Justin Bieber's house, I'll never understand why the infinitely rich choose to live in gaffs that look like millennium era lottery funded conference centres.

Is this seat that looks like it has a Derry accent conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person, perhaps one of your da's mates saying "Did ye aye mucker, right enough?". Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

When I was monitoring FB etc groups around Brexit, the one thing pro and anti groups all had in common was racist & misogynistic memes and other posts about Diane Abbott. She was loathed by the centre and the right and whatever the reasons they gave if challenged, it was always misogynoir behind it
I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Why should major policy announcements have "the element of surprise"? Why is this a good thing?

WHY? WHY IS ANYONE OTHER THAN THE PERSON WHO HIT THE BUTTON A BIT EARLY "DISAPPOINTED"? WHY IS IT "A SERIOUS ERROR"? You were going to tell us the info 120 minutes later anyway! I don't understand why this is a big deal?!
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said the unprecedented pre-Budget publication of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s document was “deeply disappointing and a serious error on their part”

This is not actually 'extraordinary'. People who would have had the detail two hours later actually got it a little earlier, in a form arguably more digestable and clear than the Chancellor's speech.

Am I missing something? This is just an absurd way to think about this.

In college, Chevy Chase played drums in a jazz-rock trio called Leather Canary. Seeing no future in it, he quit to go off and become a globally successful comic actor. The remaining members decided to keep going as a duo, but changed their name to Steely Dan.

And cynics will say this has something to do with the fact he was guest of honour at a highly publicised White House dinner with Trump, Muhammad Bin Salman and Gianni Infantino four days ago.

I like to imagine that their previous failed "crypto food delivery idea" floundered because neither of them could pretend to be food or crypto.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.
