The E is for Excitement
I mean “Guy with Palantir believes he has enemies everywhere and that his own people are being turned against him because a new popular guy turned up and believes his future is as a sacrifice, the way they used to do it, of old” is a bit on the nose, no?

Up until 15000 years ago, dogs stretched, but didn’t have anyone there to comment on their stretch and that makes me sad.
A lot of people think dogs were domesticated by scavenging along after nomadic human groups, but really I think they just wanted someone to acknowledge when a stretch was big.

I’m not a lawyer, but this means anyone could throw a sandwich at a LEO and expect to walk free, right?

I think if footballers have to go off for concussion exams if they appear to have taken a head injury, then highly placed government officials should do the same.

Just don’t play for a while if you can’t answer some basic questions or count fingers. Sub in someone with less brain injury.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Okay: Wizard of Oz, but Almira Gulch DOES kill Toto and Dorothy goes in a John Wick-style gun-fu killing spree across Oz to find her way home and exact her revenge.

WTF I’ve just seen a Trivago ad and they’ve removed Jurgen Klopp. Some other guy is digitally inserted? They disappeared Jurgen Klopp!

You have to hand it to him: Nobody embodied “When they were up they were up, and when they were down they were down” quite like Prince Andrew.

Imagine getting back from outer space and finding out Gloria Gaynor was dumping you.

You’d be gutted.

Makes you wonder if being an astronaut is worth it.

It’s so weird that in 300 years someone is going to be defending their thesis about The Semiotics of Frogs in early 21st Century Political Discourse.

Google has this thing where if you spend 1.5 seconds looking at a calendar reminder of a sporting event it pins the Live Score to your phone screen and I would very much like to switch that feature off for the remainder of Rangers season thank you.
