My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

You don't need to have read it to get the joke

Cartoon. Venn diagram of two circles intersecting. The left circle contains the text 'Tristram Beer', the right circle contains the text 'Tristram lemonade'. There is no text in the intersection, leaving the reader to fill in the gap.

Reddit comment of the day.

At a festival, the band we were watching were on a roll until they launched into Edwin Starr's 'War! The lead singer shouted 'War! Huh! What is it good for!?' then pointed the mic at a girl in the front row.
Clearly never having heard the song before, she hesitated before saying '...uh, killing people?'
That pretty much finished the show right there as the band were laughing too hard to play. They tried a few times to get things going again, but ended up staggering off early.

Only 44k views for this work of art is absolutely insane. It's incredible.

Please follow my Hourly Simpsons account, because I just discovered that there is something similar for King Of The Hill with 10,000 followers but mine has subtitles so is slightly better!

📢 Calling Simpsons enjoyers: I made a new thing. Hourly Simpsons is a Bluesky account that posts a random frame from a random Simpsons episode (until season 15) – on the hour, every hour. I think it's quite cute.

MAGA TV is this week's image challenge on b3ta.

A cast shot for "What We Do in the Shadows" TV series, but all of the characters are now members of Trump's White House cabal. From l-r: The Guide is now Pam Bondi, Nandor is now RFK Jr., Guillermo is now Trump, Colin is now Steven Miller (with glowing eyes), Nadja is now Kirsti Noem and Laszlo is now the JD Vance chubby faced meme. The title of the show has been changed to "WHAT WE DO IN BROAD DAYLIGHT".

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
