I think men should also ask for consent before playing an acoustic guitar

oh look, it's Fedward

This is very good from Rob Rinder. The comments are a complete binfire, not sure why there are so many horseshoe Greens on a Nazi's site, but there we are.

SHOP ME: Hello, have you got any Quorn? S: Yes, what variety? ME: on the Quob? S: Please leave

Most TV is just this now.

A cash-strapped rural police force struggles to deal with Red Diesel gangs. Until its chief inspector realises can get the Met Police to deal with the problem... ...if he pretends they're Iranian. A new six part comedy starring Toby Jones.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

Oh, there they are.

As I keep pointing out, does no one understand Ricardian comparative advantage anymore. FACT: China produces over 1 million engineering graduates per year FACT: To date, China has not produced a single internationally marketable game show format Where does it look like our advantage lies?

Unfortunately, I wasn't even joking... #TheBeatles #YellowSubmarine

I've written about Neets for the LRB. It is odd listening to recent debates about this completely ignore the overwhelming fact of this current crisis, that it is one of inactivity, disability, mental ill-health and neurodevelopmental disorders (as I discuss) www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

These paint colours are excellent euphemisms for an erection

Excerpts from our GCSE Guide to the Second English Civil War, featuring a few friends of The Fence, and a fascist Paddington statue.

One of the things I appreciate most about living in Norfolk is the fact that it induces a near-constant state of bewilderment. 1/4

Lionel Messi! General Belgrano! Evita Peron! A thousand escaped Nazis working as dentists under assumed names! Your boys took one hell of a beating!

I remember being so surprised when I first read up on the Falklands, having not lived through it and just having this default assumption of "Thatcher = bad ∴ Falklands war = bad", "she just did it to get re-elected", etc. The worst person you know just made a just war

Hurra Torpedo’s cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart isn’t better than the original, but it is quite something youtu.be/ysUjYAi0WcQ

haha, thats a great post. unfortunately you phrased it in a way that allowed me, a moron, to misunderstand it

So much of the collective English psyche is constipatedly stuck in the 1990s; would an England World Cup victory intensify that, or would it be some kind of karmic release, finally allowing us all to move on?

Actually, I think you'll find the tumbleweed is rushing home to tell its family how awesome my jokes are.

Given trans people are less than 1% of the population, getting it wrong 4% of the time means you are 4x as likely to misgender a cis woman than spot someone is trans. This is without accounting for the effects of hormones, surgery etc. Absolute madness from the EHRC chair. A "human rights" body.

Can't believe I was sacked for doing terrible impressions of a sunburnt Italian. I'm gonna appeal.

football commentator just said England are coming in a flurry, which is one way to get the sack from McDonald’s

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

Did Reform lose because they were too woke? A columnist earning 8 times your salary assumes the answer is yes, and investigates from there.

Why is it when the cameras focus on World Cup fans everyone is young and fabulous but when they cut to England fans there’s always a “man pleads guilty to mistreating pet snakes” energy.

There are 4 Netherlands-based players in the Japan squad vs. 2 in the Netherlands squad, and twice as many Japanese Ajax players as Dutch ones. This feels unusual

good to see the government hasn’t or chooses not to recognise where ‘a lot of people’ get their information is a polluted & toxic environment; it’s like saying you shouldn’t close a well that’s poisoning people because ‘a lot of people’ get their water there

realising I've just been overtaken by a car with NVidia stickers on the windows and a roof rack with a lidar mounted on it. a sudden unpleasant feeling that I've been researched.

Indeed. In the 1960s many more people held racist attitudes but both the government and opposition were consistent in condemning open racism. We now have am emboldened and tolerated minority by both government and opposition.

I'm not sure "hey, we're not just banning trans people from toilets, we're also banning them from vital support after they've been sexually assaulted or raped" is exactly the flex The Guardian seem to think it is. Fucking vile humans.

There was a post here a couple of years ago arguing that the desire for authenticity is fundamentally “the desire to be confronted with a stereotype” and while that was specifically about tourism I think it applies to a lot more than that

This is a really interesting article about someone who I previously knew nothing about. The fact that he was one of the very few people to be acquitted of High Treason is remarkable but passes merely as an aside. I thought this conclusion is also interesting.

This painting is titled "Sun on a House, Dieppe" and was created in 1937 by British artist James Proudfoot (1908–1971).

I refuse to believe that, in the last 1,200 years, not a single novice monk has accidentally spilled a drink over or otherwise extinguished this flame, before quickly re-lighting it off a ciggie and pretending nothing happened. Eternal my arse

There's no "study," this is based on a crank manifesto with only four footnotes written by a bunch of health grifters. Why is the Guardian covering this like it has any academic credibility?
