The hairdresser holds up the mirror so I can see the back of my haircut but she accidentally uses the mirror that reveals how you die. I see my 80-year-old self tumbling down a hill after slacklining for the 1st time. I never know how to react in these situations, so I just mumble "wow I love it"

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

What if the new Taylor Swift record is like Double Fantasy with Taylor singing half the songs and Travis Kelce singing the other half

What a con this so called "Tennessee Williams" is. There are at least two, Venus and Serena, that are way more tennisy. You couldn't make it up.

1. Was a law in place at the time of the act?
2. Did Le Pen's actions breach that law?
3. Were those actions proven in a properly functioning court?
4. Was the sentence passed within the range set by law?
If the answers to each consecutive question is yes? What's your fucking problem?
When Turkey's courts ban Erdogan's frontrunning Presidential opponent, the liberal mind rebels and rejects forthwith Erdogan's argument that the law is the law. When France's courts do they same, the liberal mind rejoices & parrots the law is the law. Mind-boggling hypocrisy!

Yanis, I can tell that you've given this matter much thought & are acting on your convictions, despite knowing that you're going to catch flak from followers and strangers. I just wanted to say that everyone yelling at you is correct: you're a dipshit and a fool, and you should delete your account

One reason the Kinks and the Zombies have aged so well is that they were nostalgic and melancholy before their time, future proofing their records until nostalgic, melancholy middle-aged people discovered them years later.

My best friend Henry Kissinger has been gone for almost a year and a half but it still feels like yesterday that we were throwing rocks at cars from an overpass. When will this get easier?

I'm just a decadent, flabby Brit, untutored in the ways of republican democracy, but don't our Yankee friends have a 2nd amendment right to a "well organised militia" to quell attacks on the freedom of the state? Surely, they should be dusting off their AR15s for this Trump/Musk contretemps?

@davidallengreen.bsky.social Sorry to brain-pick, I need a Silk to advise on an issue regarding the remuneration of coroners (the only judges not to have salaries set by the SSRB) and the concomitant impact on judicial independence, can you think of anyone?

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.
