Watching Dust Bunny, and it’s like Wes Anderson decided to meld Leon with Amelie.

My mother died this week. I’m not posting this for sympathy, although thank you. But I realised I was so extremely grateful for people who showed small kindnesses this week. People who let me out while I was driving to her deathbed. People who smiled when I got stuck at the self service supermarket.

i know of two populations on threads, one is the 'fandom posting in their real names' people, the other are 'young vietnamese people who earnestly believe the communist party will deliver wokism and like that'

It’s like some kind of haunted social media network, where brands and influencers quip at each other or post piety as though it’s 2015
Have any of you been to Threads? It’s like Bluesky but even more embarrassing. The best way I can describe it is: A fictional Twitter made for Grand Theft Auto.

Big Nut has been telling you stories all your life and you’ve all fallen for it
Genuinely furious to discover that almonds aren't even a fucking nut. They're a fucking drupe. First peanuts and then cashews and now almonds. Do nuts even exist? I've been lied to my whole life.

Unsure whether I like the imperious gull on the Falklands war memorial or the gull strutting on what I think is a Cenotaph most here, but anyway, gull action

Roses are Red
Violets are blue
And Americans are perfectly able to use the plural present tense conjugation there without making a fool of themselves but if it was a musical group called “Roses” then they’d say “Roses Is” and that really fucking annoys me
Happy valentines to you

I never played the Witcher and wasn’t aware of this but this makes the ubiquity of the modern translation *so* much more comprehensible
You're possibly alluding this already, but on the off chance you're not, it's used in the opening cut scene of The Witcher video game

Yes. The body politic is suffering morbid symptoms!
Yes. And it doesn't just sound better - analytically, it clearly *is* better. "Monsters" just sounds vaguely bad/scary; "morbid symptoms" is just obviously a much more accurate yet succinct summary of what Gramsci meant (and what is actually happening now!)

Article sound on the quote being wrong, but loses points for not saying the original translation was infinitely better

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

One job is about containing feral threats to life and limb…and the other is working for the prison service!!!
It never fails to amuse me how teacher recruitment and prison officer recruitment adverts have exactly the same script and look

I’m not saying they are grasping at straws re Mamdani but this story is literally “5 years ago a bloke he has since employed complained about customer service online”

There are MPs on this list I expected better of.
Then there’s Clive.

I have joined nearly 100 parliamentarians to call on the Government to reconsider its rejection of compensation for 1950s women for maladministered state pension age changes. The Ombudsman was clear: injustice occurred, compensation should follow.

Lots of opinions on this news story and these uh individuals but I am most impressed by the way the story is illustrated by Andy Burnham, but with Keir Starmer’s 1980s hair do
