This is without a doubt the funniest thing I have ever read. I can’t stress enough how unbelievably funny this is.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Hi Hank, just watched your new video re: Crash Course and it made me think… You know Google people, right? Has there ever been any kind of discussion about CC and Google Classroom working together?

Is Wes Streeting’s haircut the one he chose or is he just too polite to say anything to his barber

“Doesn’t have to be anything fancy.”

“Right.”

“Just a basic graph.”

“I understand.”

“Maybe some nice colours or something.”

“Something simple, I hear you. Leave it with me.”

I find it fascinating that people who will pronounce POTUS and SCOTUS like words will spell out USAID a letter at a time.

Nine out of twenty paragraphs in this article are specifically about national insurance cuts and whether they are damaging business and causing job losses.

Only 12.5% of Sainsbury’s cuts can be directly attributed to the rise (source: literally this same fucking article)

The changes are part of a cost-cutting plan, but recent tax rises for businesses have also been a factor.

Cynthia Erivo co-wrote a new original song for Wicked part two, and I can’t wait for her to lose Best Actress only to return next year and claim her EGOT anyway for a non-performance award in an ironic twist of fate.

FYI there’s a little update on Patreon (but free to read) explaining whether I’m dead or not (spoiler alert: no), why the podcast slowed down, and what to expect going forward (spoiler alert: stuff)

More personal than I normally like to get but it’s been a wild year and it felt right to share.

It’s 2025. I’ve turned off Reddit image attribution for the seventh time. When will this madness end?

The two attacks may be linked

Also they might not be

There’s no evidence or anything to suggest they are

But they COULD be and really isn’t that what matters?

More legit news at 6

No it’s not odd to have to specify that our news is legit it doesn’t imply anything it’s a figure of

It’s insane that you can go to any conservative account on Twitter and scroll through 5-10 pages of tweets and they’ll still be labelled “1d”

If I ever post 100 times in a day, euthanise me.

Christmas Eve was a good time to doodle a little. Not too happy with the trees but I don’t think this is too bad at all for an hour’s work!

"For Good" is a great song, one of the most moving, and the one that most encapsulates the themes of Wicked.

But I'm sorry, it just doesn't make a good subtitle.

Honestly?

This episode didn’t even begin to get to the bottom of it and it’s obvious these asses are going to stretch this crap out to ten episodes. Podcasters: learn to stream line. Long series only hurt the natural flow of the story you’re in.

I believe the Mandela effect is nonsense. However, Jim Carrey starred in the 2000 family film “The Grinch.” He did not star in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” I don’t even know her.

This film was a turning point in geopolitics and I will NOT be gaslit.
