I'm going on tour in 2026! Come and see me doing one of the best reviewed shows from the Ed Fringe (according to the British Comedy Guide). It's called King of Crumbs, and it's a load of old nonsense, really. Book now!

Me, giggling like a goblin, strapping myself into the BBC Boss chair, commissioning non-celeb sitcom & sketch show after another. High concept narrative comedies by women! 100 shows with writers rooms! Tell whatever celeb blokes are doing a travel show they can make their own way back from Bordeaux!

I really shouldn't share bad ai, but the fact that they're pretending to have animated it all by hand is extraordinary. Anyone who has done digital animation will be flabbergasted at the audacity.
Mirroring the video here if you don't want to even humor going onto Twitter, but when it gets into the "process" section, there's so many red flags of them lying about the work they put into the commercial that reveal how much of this video is them trying and lying after the fact.

The sheer cheek of writing "oop north" when you pronounce it "ap north".
Always eye-opening when someone with a southern English accent tries to write a northern English accent "phonetically" revealing what an alien perspective they have of the relationship between sounds and letters

This dishwasher is probably broken now. The reviews of every dishwasher on earth are: average 3.5 stars, 5 star review says "its a dishwasher no problem" and 1 star review says "this dishwasher shot me with a gun!"
I have a samsung dishwasher and it wasn't working very well so I looked online for information about it, I looked up "samsung dishwasher not working well" and the answer I found for that was "yup."

Devastated to see Mamdani plummet to victory with a result that shows his critics were right all along. Now is the time for the left to move towards the centre. It's time to reach across the aisle, to swing your partner, do-si-do and really lay into trans people for no reason.

No takers for my Reverse Mrs Doubtfire screenplay in which an elderly Scottish woman pretends to be fast-talking improvisational stand-up Robin Williams.

For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)
It wasn't Gabriel Knight 3's cat mustache puzzle that killed "adventure games." They never died, even if the industry killed off Sierra On-line. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
