POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.
Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?" Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

People are always rightly pointing out that Warhammer contributes more to the British economy than the fishing industry, but the problem is that there just aren't very many folk songs about Warhammer

Western leaders attending the Sharm el-Sheikh summit have enabled and sponsored this slaughter. They are in no position to build a Palestinian future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"

Turducken Lowery @kenlowery.bsky.social I didn't have the words to express it at the time, but growing up I definitely thought of Gary Busey as Nick Nolte's Wario August 18, 2024 at 11:16 PM

As someone who works with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question what’s rendered as truth.

The other thing that is notable about this is that the moment he received pushback, Piers just collapses into a sputtering mess.

This class of 'pundit' has become so used to going unchallenged that they literally don't know how to deal with it. Embarrassing it took so long for this to be exposed.

Did manage to celebrate bookshop day, by the way. I went to The White Horse, which also sells art supplies and has a gallery. I’ve been getting books there since I was little - think it’s been there since about 1950. #bookshopday

And it still holds true even when applied to that. I think if Brendan had been in the reboot, there's a chance the Dark Universe might actually have happened

Theory: you can put Brendan Fraser in any Tom Cruise role and it would improve the film; you cannot put Tom Cruise in any Brendan Fraser role without it making the film worse

I'd love to know what every comedian who played the Riyadh Comedy Festival thinks of this piece by Jonathan Liew. It's an electrifying read. And really hard to think what any counter-justification from the participating comics would consist of. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
We know what the comedians got out of the Riyadh comedy festival. What about the Saudi regime? | Jonathan Liew
The tawdry event was an ultimately doomed attempt by the Saudi government to buy the kind of authentic grassroots culture it is unwilling to countenance, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew
