Dude, it's Nigel Farage

His alleged "racist past" is much less relevant than his clearly racist present, surely?

My Bruna, Light of Alabaster, of course.

And then acting confused since I cast Single Combat the turn before.

He wasn't the star, but Steve Forrest is there in the credits.

Like, the Rulings on Ultima specifically say that those triggered abilities are exiled. But where are they exiled FROM? Because it isn't the Stack - they never got there in the first place.
Notes and Rules Information for Ultima: Ending the turn this way means the following things happen in order: (1) All spells and abilities on the stack are exiled. This includes any abilities that triggered as a result of destroying all artifacts and creatures as well as Ultima, though it will continue to resolve. It also includes spells and abilities that can't be countered. (2) All attacking and blocking creatures are removed from combat. (3) State-based actions are checked. No player gets priority, and no triggered abilities are put onto the stack. (4) The current phase and/or step ends. The game skips straight to the cleanup step. The cleanup step happens in its entirety. (2025-06-06)

This... I'm REALLY glad that they went with 'Chickadee' for the children's magazine.

That is even better than my "floral" pillow. (I don't think my parents have noticed)

I've found it. The most Boomer article ever.
Baby boomers urged to rethink $4.9 trillion Gen Z inheritance trend: 'You don't owe them' When it comes to the great wealth transfer taking place in Australia, don’t let generosity jeopardise your golden years, warns David Koch.

Yes, clearly it is the scooters that are the problem here.
“It’s very upsetting,” said Marini. “We took my grandson out to learn how to ride his bike and saw beer cans littered around the station,” she said, noting broken glass from a car accident the previous night and the absence of Lime helmets on the majority of the station’s scooters.

Oh cruel fate! I *wanted* to support the cause and boycott Starbucks, but my local branch had the nerve to shut down a few weeks ago.

Damn you!

Kurt Vonnegut would love Holyday's 24 hour stamp store. And Holyday would hate everything about it.
“(talking about when he tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope) Oh, she says well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is, is we’re here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don’t realize, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals.” ― Kurt Vonnegut

Now, this. This is the 'spoon theory' that I can get behind. @xkcd.com
A four panel xkcd comic. The first two panels have a stick figure in close up. He has a speech line saying "Some people like to be the big spoon. Some people like to be the little spoon." The third panel we can see a drawing of three spoons. There are two table spoons beside each other, and a teaspoon resting on the nearer tablespoon. The text reads "And some brave truth-tellers point out that the metaphor makes no sense because different-sized spoons don't next right EITHER way. You nes SAME-sized spoons." The fourth panel sees the stick figure man lounging on a two seater couch. He says "...And apparently WE sleep on the couch." A voice from offstage can be seen saying "Why are you STILL going on about the spoon thing?" to which the stick figure responds "Because I'm right!"

This one, in particular, seems ideal for Graphing Reagan
A graph showing the popularity of 'Chomping at the bit' vs 'Champing at the bit'. A image of Ronald Reagan's head with an arrow is superimposed on Reagan's election, just barely to the left of where the newer 'Chomping' overtakes the more traditional 'Champing'. The graph shows corelation, but is not meant to imply causation

Hello fellow real human and democrat voter! It is I, a Mamdani voter.

As requested, here is a photograph of my secret ballot from the previous election.

I trust that you will now be voting for Mamdani today.

Hooray for democracy and secret ballots!
