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

(I have no idea how to writes those two differently but you know what I mean.)
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.

(If you have the colour-blindness gene AND the soapy coriander gene, you're buggered.)
Shout out to Taiwan’s unhinged Doritos flavors

Woke 2.0 will necessitate the invention of an entire new system of notation to describe all the genders, while land acknowledgements will be followed by "...and this is what we're going to do about it"

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. 🧵

Pictures one can smell.
A photograph I took of a footpath in the south west of England in late April, or, as wild garlic prefers to call it, "party season".

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

I love this illusion so much.
This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it.

The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT.

Let's talk about it.

you can literally travel to Mongolia, take a taxi from Ulaanbaatar to Choirin, find the last house in the outskirt, and ask Munkhbat who's about fifty or eighty, no one knows for sure, he spent his entire life drinking and throwing rocks at passing cars, he would say "Peter Mandelson? He's a c*nt."
