I feel like i hallucinated seeing it once and couldn't remember but tbh if it's something that's been posted then I feel inclined to delete. I don't want to violate the code

Oh obviously but that didn't stop everyone from claiming they'd seen someone do it

I would absolutely worship the ground walked upon by anyone who isolated the bass tracks from Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way"

There was a special button sequence you could enter in Mortal Kombat III to make the fighters start fucking and if you did it right the screen would display "NUDALITY"

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

At a certain point it becomes prohibitively annoying to make layered images on an iPhone but that won't stop me

my dedication to the craft is such that I counted out the syllables in the NORE tweet to make sure it matched exactly. I can never stop

Brandi if I don't use this site to post the stupidest things I think of, I'll just start saying them to people in real life

The activity I actually enjoy and look forward to is called Yelling At Myself

Tiny Desk was using MHK416s as desktop vocal mics and they work amazing for that

That can also be a form of The Injury

The communists were furious but they just sort of gestured angrily at it as it floated away at 3 mph

Why don't they take the balloon over and rescue the POW-MIA guys from the hated Communists instead of prancing around in the balloon parade

My Injury was bike related lol, I was wearing a helmet but I got a concussion so bad it took me about a year to recover

honestly the best advice I can give you is to find some form of physical activity / exercise that you actually enjoy and look forward to. Beyond the mental health boost, it's also been my experience that it gets much harder to build or rebuild physical fitness as you get older

being in your 30s is no different than being in your 20s until you suffer The Injury

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I run a YouTube account which posts a lot of videos titled like "Bill Hader Being An Absolute Unhinged Taurus for 43 Minutes." All of the ad revenue goes towards supporting the brave mujahedin of the Islamic State

I ended up on swifty TikTok and the comments are absolutely killing me. "9th grade slam poetry", [a photo of boiled chicken], "album for cop wives", "If Taylor wrote this that's bad, if ChatGPT wrote this that's worse, and if Travis wrote this I'm actually kind of proud of him".

I'm a dual citizen and am therefore allowed to be as much of either as I feel like

Heathrow is a perfect testing environment to evaluate my thesis, which has always stood up to scrutiny. Maybe you've heard me say it before, but maybe you're about to get some knowledge dropped on you. Here goes: Brits are rude and Americans are annoying.

Amazing live show t-shirt design from @ciaran.operationglad.io and the print is neon green as hell

Our t shirt for the Glasgow show featuring a green dog seen through pixelated night vision and the Armenian text that reads, roughly, "don't worry, it can get worse"
