God removing one rib from Adam to make Eve. Removing a second rib to help get his keys that fell behind the couch. Removing a third so he can use that one and the second rib to mime playing drums while the TV is on. Removing a fourth out of pure habit

I think a big thing I struggle with, and something that is an important thing for people of my generation to attempt to understand, is separating toxic nostalgia from knowledge of the actual ways in which American life has gotten appreciably worse in my lifetime
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

It’s so great that The Rockettes have abandoned exact uniformity in favour of employing black dancers and this year a dancer with a limb difference but it does make it extra galling that you still have to be 5’7 to be considered. Justice for short dancers!

I’ve made a professional profile with my proper name on. Hopefully it will be the more findable one 🫣
I was at a conference today and I exchanged contact details with a few people and I’ve just realised they may find my social media and lads THIS is why BlueSky needs a private mode/circles.

I wore a nice shirt, I schmoozed and networked like a champ, I made pertinent and succinct contributions to break out sessions and I don’t want it ruined by someone finding my opinions on monsterfucking. I mean I *could* stop posting but let’s be realistic.

It’s not a ‘moral panic’ it’s deliberate obfuscation by AI companies who want to convince the credulous that their predictive text machines can cure cancer.

The advantage of going to events where you’re younger than everyone by 20 odd years is that older people generally have pretty good social skills and will strike up conversation unprompted. A very nice old man just showed me his freedom pass.

They didn’t even go old school with a cheeky Party McPartyface.
Am excited tho to see what dogshit name Your Party chooses out of the four absolute clangers that somehow make up their shortlist

At this point just lean in to the banter and call it the Judean People’s Front.
Your Party members will be asked to choose between four name options this weekend: Your Party, Our Party, Popular Alliance and For the Many, with the result to be announced by Jeremy Corbyn at the end of the two-day conference on Sunday afternoon

If you loved THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, then you'll love its action-packed sequel, PRINCE CASPIAN! The Pevensie children are back, even Edmund, but what about all your favorite friends: Mr. Tumnus, the Beavers, the friendly giant? Well, they've been dead for a thousand years. Sorry.

Again, I would advise people to go read the media from 50 years ago. Sure, there was absolutely an awkward stiffness that the death of deference got rid of and I prefer it but they talked to you like adults in a way that very few newspapers do today.
I don't think it's all of it by any measure but I do absolutely believe that the political media's raging anti-intellectual streak has got worse with time and has ended up influencing the way MPs talk, and what they choose to talk/think about
I don’t think this is a “politicians have got dumber” issue for the most part. If you look at the *actual CVs* of previous cohorts of MPs, their background is not radically different when you account for, you know, the fact the economy is different! It is primarily a media and ecosystem issue.

About to go and pay a beautiful woman to deliberately inflict pain upon me. (Going to my eyebrow lady to get my eyebrows and top lip threaded).
