Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

FYI, Word of Mouth is not one of the UK-only ones. Anyone can get it.

Sorry Elon, but whoever said "money can't buy happiness" was full of shit. It's very easy to buy happiness with money, provided you buy it *for other people*.
All Elon ever wanted was for people to think he was funny. He tried to buy that by buying Twitter. It didn't work. He made some half-arsed memes. That didn't work either. He went onstage with Dave Chapelle. People booed so much he had a breakdown.
Elon is sad because he isn't funny.

Three more #kakapo nests found on Pukenui/Anchor Island yesterday. Here's Konini with her two eggs. We have found nests for 26 out of the 36 adult females on the island, with more to come in the next few days. It's a big year! #conservation #kakapo2026 A

We already get patronised, we might as well be patronised!

Algorithms have failed artists, so once again I am appealing to the wealthy to go back to the practice of patronising artists so you can brag that your sicko is better than your rival’s sicko

These coriander-flavoured green Doritos would be the perfect solution to the tastes-like-soap problem. You make a salsa without the Herb of Controversy, put these in one bowl and plain ones in another.

Fuck it, from now on he's Reff Mezos. Some traditions must be upheld.
Jeff Bezos doesn't even have RM initials! No respect for tradition.
3/ background when you face the absolute necessity of making payroll. It’s a brutal task master. That’s not what we’re seeing right now at the Washington Post: this is the very formulaic billionaire press baron cycle. You come in as the white knight. You’ve got a limitless checkbook.

I'm old enough to fervently want a teapot completing this picture.
I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.

Pretty sure most EU citizens do not want this
🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵
