Regarding wrinkles. || He speaks Russian. || Not quite grasping the convention. || No, I don’t think that’s something I’d care to normalise, thank you. || She’s trying out her new labels and has self-diagnosed as an amputee. || She won’t be elaborating on that statement. || About your bottom. || The sounds of suburbia. || His shot is better than yours. || Minutes from the border. (h/t, Stephanie) || It’s what he would’ve wanted. || He doesn’t identify as white, because that’s a thing you can do now. || Simulator of note. || Think of it as a challenge. || Her thirst detected. || A passion for pebbles. || The unspanked commute. || “Apply and lie,” says she. || Perfect slices every time. || The progressive retail experience, parts 684, 685 and 686. || Child rotation. || Tourists, 1864. || It fits two to four people.

Using the law to find out the name of the law
The wrong way, then finally the right way
All the people who forced the “no excessive force” policies upon us need to experience the vibrancy of out-of-control thugs.
For David. Accurate?
Some are only fit for slavery on brutal plantations.
She’s taking the piss, mate.
I doubt that.
It’s a f—ing vacation, not Eliza crossing the ice.
The frightening thing is the above may well be the unvarnished truth.
And these people can vote. (Or the few without felony convictions.)
Remember the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore caused by the container ship MV Dali?
You can’t park there, mate.
Is it just me or have all the progressive retail experiences shifted from US based to UK based?
Have the UK laws changed to mimic California or are all the police in the UK too busy arresting people for social media “crimes”?
That’s not Dick Cheney, but yeah. I guess.
I write technical documentation. It can be hard to solicit knowledge from the devs. So I just write whatever and ask for a review, and if it’s wrong, they sit right up and provide the info. They can’t pass on the chance to correct something.
Is the twerking a sign of contempt? Because maybe she’s expressing much-deserved contempt.
For civilisation.
I love that cross-plane V8 burble background that you often get in US clips.
And then something else happened that I didn’t understand
Funny stuff
Brilliant – to be encouraged, that is how you learn stuff
Yes, I would like to know this too.
My current squeezes daughter, who lives in London, witnessed the beginnings of what she thought was a robbery about to take place at the shop that she was intending to enter.
A suntanned gentleman wearing a hoodie and with a large bag entered the shop just before she was about too. She aborted her mission but didn’t ring the police because she said (to CS, the concerned mum) it would be a “waste of time and nothing would happen”
That was last week
Now watched that four times.
I can only imagine ther state of the capsule after the passengers have been shaken around in a tsunami…..
Thank you for the science.
Will it be on the test?
Morning, all.
Haven’t played, so can’t confirm. But it is suitably incomprehensible.
In mere seconds, it transforms a perfectly good loaf into a combination of utter uselessness and something to sweep up. It’s the march towards tomorrow, people.
All part of the service.
[ Slurps coffee. ]
Corduroy proximity alert.
I’m not sure what I’m looking at.
What’s being sliced?
Is it a bandolier slicer?
Is it being sliced in a device that is intended for something else?
We get that a lot.
Hard to say, but it’s a thing of wonder.
Titties included.
I think you just like dressing as a slut, sir.
Normalizing this shit is the problem.
That’s the thing about people who wish to drag you into their revolting and tedious psychodrama. People who wish to bully you and make you submit. You may have to decline, quite forcefully. It’s important to remember that the other person’s unviable mind – their tendency to hair-trigger meltdowns and shrieking – is not your responsibility.
“That would be absurd and silly”
Tourists, 1864
Plus a dozen ninjas but of course you can’t see them.
It fits two to four people.
When I see things like that and doomsday bunkers, I think, “In an apocalypse or disaster that severe . . . why would I want to be one of the survivors?”
Apparently, it’s airtight and equipped with three days of food provisions. I do, however, have questions regarding the, er, bathroom facilities.
Normalize Thorazine.
Band name.
She’s taking the piss, mate.
Maybe, but with that much hardware in her face I wouldn’t bet the riverboat on it.
Is it just me or have all the progressive retail experiences shifted from US based to UK based?
No we have shifted from robbing from stores to entire cities – fewer cameras.
Meanwhile, a charming lady who could rent out her forehead as a billboard discusses the projection of MAGA people. I am sure her language is only a mimicry of that of Truphitlerian acolyes.
Great send up
Apparently, it’s airtight and equipped with three days of food provisions.I do, however, have questions regarding the, er, bathroom facilities.
Aside from the bathroom, that thing is not big enough for people and an adequate O2 supply for three days even if there are (not mentioned) CO2 scrubbers.
Then, of course, there is the issue of these things being on the roof which, I am sure, would be easy to access in an earthquake as the building is falling apart around you.
The frequent resort to expletives does make a tedious rant even more so.
Self-sabotage.
Is corduroy a thing again? I haven’t noticed any in many years.
John Derbyshire’s “The Talk”, public transit version.

Well exactly . But of course they had to “take it outside”. For what purpose? Letting the kid push the administrator around initially, in front of the student body no less, is clearly (or once would have been seen as clearly) wrong. A smaller amount of force applied much earlier might very well have precluded the later full body slam. Which they did “outside”. Which the students saw anyway. The whole thing is so bloody ridiculous, all the way around. And the yahoo “conservative” types on that twitter/X thread are cheering it on. If that kid has been permanently, or even significantly injured by that action, I would be hard pressed not to award him damages.
We have teenagers and young adults who are out of control, not just because of bad parenting. Bad parenting has been a thing forever. You can find a lot of it in the Bible if you just open your eyes. We have these problems not just because the parents don’t discipline their children at young ages, but because our schools and juvenile justice systems do not do their part. Granted, to some degree the schools have had their hands tied by the broader legal system. But they certainly didn’t do much to object. Some did…some. But even 45-50 years ago I could see how weak we were becoming as a society. Fortunately our high school had Dean Williams (aka Dean Willie…affectionately or not), an exception to the rule…and yet The Rule all by himself. Rumored to having been a pro football running back, short, stocky black man with a gold tooth that shined in the sun when he smiled…and he only smiled when he had the more thuggish guys under his thumb. I watched that video trying to imagine how that initial conversation would have gone down if that kid had been confronted by Dean Williams. PBUH.
Band name.
