Thinking about how the Ed, Edd, n' Eddy movie is one of the few perfect endings to a series. Not only does it add a deeper tragic element to Eddy and explains why he's Like That (and why the other Eds played along), but it wraps up the arc of the series perfectly (avoiding giving spoilers).

I hope you like your prints! Please, do let me know of any problems. I'm a beginner at this but I want your experience to be what I would expect from a small northern pixie selling things out of a hollowed out tree. (Magical)(I am the pixie)(I've only just woken up)

This week, the phone won’t stop ringing and what’s on the other end has some unfinished business. We watched THE BLACK PHONE 2. Episode coming Friday. #blackphone2 #scaredyboys #horrorpodcast #supernaturalhorror

So, to recap, just this week... -- Trump's negotiators adopt Russia's "peace" (surrender) plan for Ukraine; -- Farage's Reform UK colleague is sentenced to 10 years in prison for pro-Russia bribery; -- Musk accidentally outs numerous "MAGA" accounts as Russian troll farms. #RussiaRussiaRussia

Motion to replace “boys will be boys” with “why the fuck has not one single adult man in these underage boys lives taught them how to behave decently?”

The people defending the tattoo guy remind me of the defense of some local high school players who made a shockingly bad "promo picture" where they pretend to be executing a member of a rival high school football team. The defense is mostly "boys will be boys" and these are the star players.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

The best bit of Trontent was the level in Kingdom Hearts 2, because it's perfectly fitting not to care about the plot an enjoy the pretty lights.

You could still have a TRON movie that flops AND not have it star a sex criminal

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

newstatesman.comHas Kemi Badenoch actually read Terry Pratchett?She claims he’s her favourite author, but his books have a few lessons for her
Rachel Cunliffe@rmcunliffe.bsky.social

Anyway, in case you missed it, some wondering from me about whether Kemi Badenoch has ever actually read Terry Pratchett www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Now imagine that your phone gets stolen, or that teams of hackers start targeting the databanks that hold the country's passwords and manage to get a block that just so happens to contain your data. We live in a digital age and should know better than to be trying ridiculous bullshit like this.

Imagine being able to log into a single app to view your exam results, your driving license, your health record, your council tax information, beautifully joined up behind the scenes instead of needing to remember different credentials. We live in a digital age and need to adapt.

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 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
