Oh, and yes, you can follow me on Twitter.
Also, there are three bonus buttons below the fold.
Nommy-nommy-nom: British kids try biscuits and gravy for the first time.
You’re a racist if you object to racist misrepresentations of your cultural icons.
Racism is a one-way street.
Time to update your thesaurus, a new synonym for “woman” – bio-hole.
This lad complains because he can’t complain about men.
That was funny. (Scroll down for clip)
I like pregnant chair lady.
Swarms won’t hurt you.
Even if you can run your finger through them it is unlikely you will be stung.
The only time bees get a bit agro is when you are taking honey from their hives and the nectar flow has stopped.
Morning, all.
Yes, the use of furniture is commendable, if at times a little random. And consequently, the would-be bank robber didn’t have a particularly good day.
Holy shit
The brown ones are the problem ones aren’t they? (I am not from a bear place, just a snake place)
BiaS: “The brown ones are the problem ones aren’t they?“
Heh! “It’s my bike now, two-legger!”
Mothers with cubs are the biggest problem. But the black ones are just as capable of killing you. And they are more common and widespread.
“Meat Lego Gnosticism“! Yes, that’s a hilarious phrase (also possibly a band name?) in a very serious new book by Mary Harrington titled Feminism against Progress. Preview the book at Google Books. The above phrase is only in the snippets, not in full preview pages, but the book is intriguing enough that I may buy it just for that!

Oh, and pinged.
The audio is the icing on the cake. Mr Montgomerie also claims that people who have reservations regarding trans activism secretly desire transgender people.
Bless you, sir. May your crumpets never be squishily undercooked.
I believe this is called fucking around and finding out.
“Hi guys. I have what appears to be the top from a very large bottle of champagne. Is it any use?”
“Just leave it there love”.
P.s. The stumbling pageant contestant had a distinct Miss Piggy vibe. Still a great recovery and the applause was fully justified. (It was a woman, wasn’t it?).
From one of the Reddit comments…or maybe tik tok…who knows?
It’s not easy to keep track of the various items being brought to bear, or just randomly moved about, with varying degrees of practicality. The stool seems to be on an epic journey.
But still, heat of the moment and all that. Everyone gets full marks. And the ladies’ outfits remain impeccable throughout.
Heh. My wife has been doing the inverse of that and I’m afraid to ask why. What she does is, once the roll gets down to the last several sheets, she removes it, puts a fresh roll on, then places the smaller roll back on top of the fresh one. I’m not sure what that is supposed to accomplish but I suspect she read this somewhere? Or perhaps saw it somewhere? At her sisters house…perhaps. She doesn’t watch Oprah anymore, thank Jesus, so I’m a bit…umm…
Sounds eminently sensible to me. She’s a keeper.
The thrill of public transport.
Hmm…yes on the keeper thing… I think…but…so now, rather than simply use up the existing roll by pulling it off the..umm…roll thingy, one instead must employ one hand to hold the roll and a second hand to remove the paper from the roll. What was once an entirely one-handed operation must now employ both. Also note…don’t know if y’all have this somewhat recent custom but we have a quasi-fancy multiple roll cylinder/dispenser (?) within easy reach of the toilet. It’s not as if one must go digging around under the sink or whatnot for the replacement roll. They’re all like right there. Within reach. Like three fresh rolls stacked up ready to go. Like on deck like. Which is like a whole other interesting thing.
The more I hear about this woman and her toilet arrangements, the more I like her.
So it’s a “sampling rate mismatch”, not the fact he’s a man?
Katy, formerly Colin, also suggests it may be something to do with Windows 11.
Still Colin by the sound of it.
Katy, formerly Colin, Montgomerie.
Blimey!
Mind you he’d clean up on the LPGA tour.
Male politicians in Canada wearing heals to combat domestic abuse:

I suppose we should be grateful they’re not all copying their leader by wearing blackface.
I’d have thought that the best way to avoid domestic abuse was to choose a partner with care. But apparently, it requires some middle-aged men parading around a table in pink stilettos.
I think we may have seen that sick puppy before. The face seems a bit familiar.
The cop’s not built for sprinting, is she?
Once again, the staring eyes and “off” body language. You know he’s nuts without hearing a word.
i didn’t have the sound on originally and missed the breathless “taser, taser, taser (zap)”.
With audio.
Once again our corpulent comb over maker of death threats makes an appearance;
Shot: “You can see my face because I have more guts” (Fact Check: metaphorical guts) “and you don’t know where I live”;
Chaser: “Can I call you Tommy?”
For readers who missed his charming debut. Post now updated.
Meanwhile over at “Pride”, “18 of the funniest drag queen names”
Featuring Anna Bortion, Anne Fetamine, Sharon Needles, and the side splittingly hilarious, Malestia Child.
Anyone who finds this inappropriate for children or not genuinely ROTFLMAO is clearly a homophobic (etc. ophobe) bigoted h8r.
Misses her days in the circus.
LOL. Much as I like to bash Microsoft, that is hilariously silly.
And don’t get me started about Apple.
Is that part of the psychopathology of politics, that they are willing to humiliate themselves?
Another emotional roller coaster

Too bad that doesn’t have sound, maybe some Tito Puentes.
Meanwhile at Subway™, it’s all good, she has a mask on.
“wearing heals”
I do note they seem to be wearing high heels as well
*ducks*

”We don’t take no for an answer round here”.
Doesn’t everything these days?
You’d need quite big suet balls.
Some weaves were lost.
