@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social I came up with a terrible dad joke last night and, since I have nowhere else to put it, thought it might work in the laughter lift:
What condition does someone have, if they hate people with no feet?
Lack toes intolerance
Love the show, Steve. Tinkety tonk, etc

TOTAL BACKFIRE: Pulitzer Prize Board just turned the tables on Trump. In his defamation lawsuit, they’re demanding his tax returns, financial records, and even medical & prescription history if he’s claiming damages. (Law&Crime)

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

If I robbed a bank and there was one witness, it wouldn't matter if 50 people came forward and said the never saw me do it.
The witness would be the only statement of any relevance.

You'll be amazed to discover that a bunch of anonymous people that Nigel Farage says definitely do exist, have confirmed that he didn't say any of the things that lots of other people say on the record that he absolutely did

He's absolutely right. Maybe Westminster should kick Scotland out of the union, to restore their own security, and let us deal with things independently. That would show us
🔴‘The SNP Isn’t a Threat to the Security of Any Nation I Want to Be Part Of’
Labour’s attempts to brand the Scottish National Party a threat to the UK’s national security is a drastic escalation of Labour’s anti-independence rhetoric, argues @adamramsay.bsky.social

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
