Spotted on the tube in London. When Nazis have already threatened to invade your island once, they are easier to recognize.

I just found out there's an actual sport called "Power Slap," where people slap each other's faces. It's like watching the coup. Each slap is more shocking than the last, leaving everyone reeling and wondering what just happened; with a big poof of chalk dust and some shitty merch.

I just watched the Jerry Springer documentary on Netflix, and it is like a mirror of the current descent into Machiavellian chaos: televised conflict, manufactured controversy, breaking of norms, and a desire for spectacle that is more like wrestling than running a country. Ugh. I can't watch.

Looks promising for 2025.

Run don't walk to see the brilliant award winning Irish language film "Kneecap", about the band of the same name. Makes you think about indigeneity, especially about languages suppressed by colonialists; and the bloody fight back that inspires new generations with a passion for their own culture.

Not sure what kind of spam I find more offensive, the ones for guns and ammo or the ones for Bibles.

Andy Borowitz nails it again. Inevitable when the definition of a patient isn't a person deserving of medical care, but just another consumer to be ripped off.
