Bowling for Soup really got it right. In the end most, if not all of us are simply reliving our high school years for the rest of our lives.

What online Catholics never seem to finally fucking learn about Rome is that the true power move a lot of times is to just ignore people who are fighting you about stuff. They want Rome to directly respond to all the tiny things that bother them, and just them, and it never has.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Exactly one week from now, coverage of Pokémon Legends: Z-A will begin on Serebii.

Crazy how soon it is.

I'll do my usual level of coverage, but remember it's a process. New stuff may end up without full context right away while we figure things out.

Okay, a bit of a challenge for my followers/moots.

Can you guess what instrument each of the fellows in this pic play in the band?

A picture of the Filipino band IV of Spades, captioned "IV of Spades: Live at the MOA Arena" with the date December 12, 2025. Clockwise from top left: Unique Salonga, Badjao de Castro, Blaster Silonga, and Zild Benitez.

Someone born in 1901 and who died in 1999 could have seen all of the following happen:

* First heavier-than-air powered flight (1903)
* First use of aircraft in war (WWI)
* Transatlantic air voyages
* The jet engine and going past Mach 1
* The birth of the space programs

People forget that it was less than 45 years between the Wrights' first flight and the X-1 breaking the sound barrier. That's like 1981 to today.

Again, it's really important to understand that anyone who hates theatre, art and academia - three things Britain is still *really bloody good* at making - just hates Britain.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut

You ever think about how there were dudes that probably saw loads of combat in WWII and then 20-odd years later were playing henchmen on BATMAN

As I get into the sexual selection and sexual dimorphism part of my evolution module, a reminder:

In Northern Cardinals, the males are bright red. The females are a brown/gray, with orange beaks.

So if you see two bright red birds snuggling together on wrapping paper or a card: they're gay.
