"Emerald Fennell" sounds like a posh person making up a name based on things in their vicinity, like Mrs Doubtfire.

your wurlitzer bro. it's playing a song that has yet to be written about a time that will never come bro. its sad haunting beauty is making mockery of the trivial dramas and petty jealousies with which we fill our meaningless days. it's freaking me the fuck out bro.

Chat, is this real? (But I'm asking a French cat and it pretends not to understand with Gallic insouciance.)

Just got caught in a downpour, ducked into the British Library and ordered a filter coffee. It is just slightly above human body temperature. I have never felt so patriotic.
For further context, I ordered a filter coffee the other day and it came out of a jug, lukewarm, already with milk in.

The deadline for responding to this consultation (about whether we should shovel even greater heaps of bureaucratic misery onto immigrants in the hope of pacifying racists) is midnight on Thursday 12th:
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...
Guidance for responding to 'A Fairer Pathway to Settlement' consultation

Obviously, no one is actually trying to force you to drink a lib-coded pumpkin-spiced transgender coffee. But, in the UK at least, most places don't have filter coffee or "black coffee" on the menu. So they will ask you if you want an Americano. I guess it's more of a stretch in the USA?
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

There are worse things in the world, but replying to a moderately popular post with your own semi-related satirical cartoon of Trump as a baby is illegal. It is BAD CONVERSATIONAL ETIQUETTE.
The only thing I use the block function for on here generally is any time some account that's following like 10k people replies to one of my posts with a link to their shit ass substack or vlog that they're trying to promote because I hit a keyword, I report them for spam and block them

I'm reading a hardboiled detective novel and a man who smells nice has just turned up. Uh oh. What's that? He just produced a gun from the folds of his silk robe? Wow, the subtext here is as elegant as this guy's well-manicured hands.

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.

This is fun, but it has BBC Newsnight, LBC, Rory Stewart, Emily Maitliss and Ian Dunt under "British Progressive Voices". So now I'm wondering if those Brazillian furries are even furries.
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

HELLO! My name is Alice Bell. I used to write about games, and now I still do that but also write murder mysteries with ghosts and jokes. The latest is about solving a murder in a pro-wrestling gym and is out now!

Every teen girl wants to read stories about it being the far future and yet it’s all just men named Johnson or Thompson smoking and rolling up their shirt sleeves, and talking about whether or not they’re going to see their mistress before the end of the world

In honour of Melania, here's a reminder that the thing Kane is applauding in this popular gif isn't good. It's very bad! It's his wife singing poorly in an opera he paid for.

Alt: Orson Welles as Kane in evening dress, applauding too hard to hide his humiliation.
