Have you noticed that these days when time travellers grab you by the shoulders and ask what year it is, when you reply "2024" they no longer say "Thank God. I'm not too late"?

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Every single time! Epstein will write:
"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"
and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:
"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

The clever thing about going for stuff like the cycle for work scheme is it’s really noticeable, affects people with lots of media access and platforms, annoys green groups, and raises almost no revenue at the same time. Real win/win/win there.

Every few years I go back to this song, which features the lyric "brilliantine mortality" and is every bit as good as that excerpt would suggest.
Also rhymes "Rotherhithe" with "ebbing tide", just so you know.

About 30 years ago we network cabled our office with 10Base2 and terminators. When we were done, I put a writable share on everyone's PC called "Dropbox". "I've sent it to your Dropbox" became a common cry around the office.
If only I'd patented... something or other.

My whole life I've been a dopamine short-seller, and since I saw it properly about 18 months ago, I can't unsee it. Absolutely none of me is real.

Starmer's refusal to clear out Tory appointments to the BBC Board and other public bodies from day one was at best deeply naive.
Again we come back to the mystery of what Labour were doing pre-2024 election as it definitely wasn't preparing for power.
