why can they not just fix it
[Scene is MCcDONALDS PICKUP POINT but for the most part we can only see the close up faces of tha CUSTOMER and the McDONALDS EMPLOYEE at the serving point]. 1 CUSTOMER: Hi - I’m afraid this isn’t what I ordered 2 McDONALDS EMPLOYEE: Number 187? CUSTOMER: Yes 3 CUSTOMER: Maybe I pressed the wrong thing? I just ordered one strawberry milkshake. 4 EMPLOYEE: Oh - yeah sorry 5 EMPLOYEE: The milkshake machine’s not working. 6 EMPLOYEE: The only flavours we can do are vanilla, banana, and Labour Leader Pretending to be Nigel Farage. 7 CUSTOMER: Is that a new flavour? EMPLOYEE: Yeah 8 [We now see that the employee has placed a gigantic milkshake cup on the counter] EMPLOYEE: If you look inside, there’s a Labour leader pretending to be Nigel Farage. 9 [Customer looks inside the cup] 10 [Show Keir Starmer dressed as Nigel Farage inside the cup] CUSTOMER: So there is 11 CUSTOMER: Is that something people want, then? EMPLOYEE: No! No, not at all. 12 EMPLOYEE: It just keeps happening when we press banana. [ends]

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Just seen the new design of the #Guardian website home page and to me the topline of featured articles above the header just looks like some weird rendering error. Why would you elevate that above your branding? Plus it makes it look like Arsenal is more important story than a potential war.
The new design for the Guardian website home page as of 7th May 2025 with a side scrolling selection of stories above the site header.

I know the Minecraft Movie is popular right now Wes, but cosplaying on breakfast TV won't make you any less of an arsehole.

Wait, does Disney own the rights to Rocky Horror? Does that make Magenta and Columbia Disney princesses?

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

It's Sächsilüüte here in Zurich today, when we all gather together to set light to a giant snowman (the Böögg) with fireworks in its head. We do this purely to terrify Germans with our propensity to use words with consecutive umlauted vowels.

This is why they call him The Welshman
A BBC snooker live blog that says, “The Welshman lives up to his nickname with a wonderfully crafted century break.”

A story I’ve told before but not on here so apologies if you’ve heard it…

About 12 years ago when Clara & I were still together and the kids were very small, we were spending Easter with friends at a big house in the country…
On Easter morning we were awoken (as, I suspect, was everyone else)…

Wenn die US-Zölle bleiben, sollen auch Trump und seine Tech-Milliardäre eine Reaktion spüren. Mit einer Digitalsteuer von 10% für Grossunternehmen (>750 Mio Umsatz) trifft man gezielt Google, Amazon oder X. Solche Massnahmen braucht es jetzt parallel zu Verhandlungen.
