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).

As something of a specialist in mitigation, “Actually I took my children with me to Paedo Island” is not what I would open with.

Team GB person using “small margins” excuse for ongoing lack of medals - OK sure, that’s the nature of it, but shouldn’t it also qualify any success they DO have? “Small margins tho, don’t get carried away”. Can’t have it both ways

No. 10 communications were being directed!?
Tim Allan, Keir Starmer’s director of communications, has just quit his Downing Street role:
“I have decided to stand down to allow a new No 10 team to be built. I wish the PM and his team every success."

In an effort to ever-so-gently annoy a colleague I've been calling all machines and tech at work The Apparatus. Should The Apparatus be doing that? Are you finished with The Apparatus? I have woken this morning to an email written and sent after midnight requesting me to stop.

Tfw when you are the Dark Lord of Spin, genius manipulator of the public mind, but also think wearing Woody Allen spectacles a good choice under the circumstances

This is such a good point
this is the crux of my argument: the House of Commons just wasn't built with "over 600 pretty normal and reasonably clever professionals who love being in Parliament" in mind, and that's why everything's broken now youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/politics-i...

I’m a big fan of sports cheating and it’s at its most pure when the cheat is taking insane physical risks so I am so here for this
today i learned that ski jumpers' heavily regulated ski suits are measured by taking a 3d scan of the size of the skiier's genitals and now some skiiers are being accused of shooting hylauronic acid into their dongs to get more favorable measurements www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Wada is to investigate claims ski jumpers are injecting acid into their penises to game the suit-measuring system

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Go Kemster! Neither Lab (too scared) nor BBC (too invested) will go after Farage for this
Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch:
"There is no reason that we should even think for a second that these Epstein files don't have something that might implicate them [Reform UK]. Nigel Farage is mentioned multiple times."

Think there should be a sort of hipstery rush for the more forgotten New Labour figures. "Bring back Ruth Kelly" "What's Mike O'Brien up to these days?"
The thing is Mandelson is by far the worst example but it is astonishing to see the return of Dougie Alexander and Jacqui Smith, two utter wastes of space from the New Labour administration, and the looming presence of Yvette Cooper presented as "reassuring" and not "intellectually bankrupt."
