It’s weird to me that “vanilla” is the term for straightforward sexual preference because the metaphor doesn’t work the other way. There’s no ice cream flavor that’s like…a choking hazard.

It would have been so funny if this had happened with One Direction
2 mins into Peter Jackson‘s Beatles doc and I‘m once again thinking about how Beatlemania was very much a girl centric fandom and then within years they became the sort of band men would mansplain to you at 2 AM in kitchens at parties

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

“We’re failing our nation’s young men” is great example of what I think of as “meme phrases.” They catch on in the pundit class to capture some nebulous concept of the moment but if you really parse it there’s no actual meaning

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

C: it’s not about aid getting in. It’s about getting it to people. There’s a stack of aid with GHF & just inside Zikim
It’s a very, very easy headline to say “aid drops resume… Israel to open humanitarian corridors”.
There has been zero evidence they’ve changed the access to aid for most in Gaza.
