What makes you proud to be British? For me, this is right up there.

A one-star review from a Texan tourist visiting Liverpool:

freddytexan (16 reviews)
“My wife and I visted Liverpool for our 30th wedding anniversary from Texas. Our evening was ruined when a man dressed as an adult baby called my wife a "Mad yank slut" because she'd never heard of a band called Steps.”

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing, these dudes can't even function properly if a game doesn't give them an instant boner

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I know they think they're rebels but its just theres an absurdity when you have the entire might of the state and capitalism on your side agreeing with you about racistly rendering swathes of society disposable to be bothered shinning up lampposts and doing art projects on road markings you know

if it wasn't horrible violent racist and ascendant it would be funny that apparently the right have been sitting around fuming this entire time about pride flags and palestine flags and have suddenly gone NO MORE IT'S OUR TURN OUR FLAGS NOW like when everyone else was just basically flag agnostic

This is objectively correct. You can like a politician, but if they are doing something that isn't merely "not good" but actually bad, you have to be able to call them on it.

Comfortably Numb @numb.comfortab.ly · 1d

When you begin to stan a politician, and close your eyes on any BS they say or do - it's time to reconsider your life choices.

honestly? the 12 hour overnight boat ride is one of my favourite parts! I love the scenery and the sea and the sense of calm and inner peace but sitting on the smoking deck at midnight with just the noise of the sea and the occasional dog being walked is just a mesmerising experience.

Boss, we’ve got a problem. Users don’t want this stuff! They keep wanting to turn it off, even when we keep turning it back on!

Onedrive settings. A toggle for using AI to detect and identify faces is set to on. The caption says, you can only turn off this setting 3 times per year.

ah shit yeah. honestly though, over here the options are getting lesser and lesser, it's like veganism was just a fun marketing buzz and they've got over it

best ones i've ever tried were cauldon's lincolnshire ones, they're as close to meaty as i've found, and really nicely herbed.

thank you! and like the whole thing was more involved than my usual put-frozen-food-in-oven-for-half-an-hour schtick, chopping mushrooms, beating eggs and what have you, but the entire thing took 15 minutes from start to end

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Maybe they don't want me in their space because I did something harmful. Maybe they just don't like my sense of humor. Maybe they just want a space for their group or culture. Good for them! Protect your peace!

People get so weird about blocking, as though it's punishment for something. And I understand. But also:

People have the right to curate their spaces. If someone needs to NOT have me in THEIR space for their peace, good for them! I don't have the right to be in someone else's space.
