We came to wreck everything and ruin your life. Charlie Brown sent us.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
all those moments will be lost in time. like tears in rain.
time to die, Charlie Brown

No citizenship if you receive social benefit is disgusting, but also if you have debt?!

New: major overhaul of immigration laws to see citizenship denied to those who got welfare, or are in debt. Family reunification only for close family, tighter rules around self sufficiency. Changes to revoke residency for those who commit serious crimes

There are a lot of reasons a program like Top of the Pops wouldn’t work these days but the main one has to be that people just don’t engage with cheesiness in the same way.

Call me a radical, idc, but if Rathwood can't deliver things that people have ordered then maybe they should just stop selling those things?
Particularly galling to be still getting marketing emails advertising deals on the thing I ordered in October, that still hasn't arrived!

This thread about hippos (with a brief digression about murderous zebras) is equal parts hilarious and frightening.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
