ah, the delicious anticipation of Crispmas Eve! Thinking back to the Crispmas Eves of my childhood, lying awake at night listening for rustling, wondering if St Crispin had been. Then when I was older, pretending not to know that it was my Dad wearing a potato sack leaving packets in the kitchen

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

The pitch here seems to be, β€˜we’ll build the houses and infrastructure we failed to build during the 14 years we were in government, but we’ll do it in the most damaging and lowest quality way possible’. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

To be clear - you can, of course, say important things here (or on Twitter before that maniac killed it). But a platform like this isn't designed to support the weight of earnestness it's now hosting. It's made for glib, silly stuff. The character limit is a huge clue.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I’ve been on a real XMen buzz recently and I watched XMen Apocalypse and I love that they gave Professor X’s baldness a backstory. His hair got burned off by apocalypse. They didn’t need to do that. He can just be bald in the normal way.

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Hopefully people will realise "if you don't vote for us we'll build a concentration camp in your area" is a fucking insane thing to say and shove Reform firmly in the bin. Fucks sake. In fact that absolutely deserves the deer. 🦌

In advertising we used to call that the β€œduck”. Where you’d make a good ad but stick a duck in it. So the client would be like β€œyeah we love everything else but can you take the duck out, not sure re the duck?” And you’d go β€œoh ok thats a shame but if you’re sure, we can make it work with no duck”

In Milan, people gathered at Piazza della Scala to honor the victims of the Russian airstrike on the Mariupol Drama Theater. Four years ago, Russian forces carried out a deliberate bombing of the building, where over a thousand civilians were taking shelter, killing at least 600 people.
