I have heard it used on its own, which lends it an edge of aggression.

The Germans probably have a word for going into a Mid-Counties Co-Op and being told your divi card isn't valid.

Getting the bus to Merthyr to see Mum. They can't do a return. I have been sold a Network Rider for £10.50. Driver: "You can go all over South Wales with that." I just want to go to BLOODY Merthyr.

Very disappointed to hear this about Europa. Human translators are a vital part of making a book accessible to a foreign audience. Bad enough not to credit them on the book cover, but to replace them with a clunky ai version is just an insult to the profession and the reader

The public execution live streaming will be preceded by an hour of Hegseth going all Purple Aki on the shooters. "Nice gun. Can I feel yer muscles?" He'll probably shit himself and come simultaneously when they fire.

I've just seen a shoddily assembled flyer for an event, and I really want to go. The text is badly aligned. The name of the pub is misspelled. It's been thrown together. However, it's been thrown together by humans. It's so endearing.

Overheard train chat between two tough-looking youths: Youth one: “I got déjà vu, man. I saw this dog and felt like I’d seen it before.” Youth two: “That’s not déjà vu. You just saw a dog twice.”

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Me: I agree that this thing is bad, but the term is so nebulous that bombastically condemning it is going to cause a totally unnecessary headache. Some Rando: Here is a fifteen post thread in reply to you about why the thing is bad actually and the term is totally not nebulous to me personally.

"Netflix is better than the BBC, ace the TV license fee!" is the argument. However, if Netflix operated just one television channel and broadcast all of its licensed content without a repeat, it would last just 4.11 years.

The obsession in media with being immediate. Just wait a bit. National radio, though. How hard can it be to just check?

I've just listened back. Newsroom must have rung the studio during the record, because you'd expect a bit of back-announcing, but it's a straight segue into Lisa Stansfield and no further mention.

Archer’s resignation from the London mayoral race after it was revealed he lied in court was the thing that got Paul Foot up from his sickbed and contributing again, having first started chronicling Archer’s lies and misdemeanours in 1969. From the Private Eye archive. Issue 992, December 1999.

If anyone still wonders about how Jimmy Savile got away with it, just read all the tributes to Archer that refer more prominently to his charity work than his crimes. There’s a big part of it.

I'm not up with the lingo, so maybe someone here can help me. Is there a street drug called concrete? Or has the person who referred to this in an email fallen foul of autocorrect? I'm sitting here chuckling to myself at the whole Brass Eye-ness of it all, but again nothing would surprise me.

Another café doing an AI flyer that looks like all of the others. People saying they won't eat there, others saying why blame small businesses for using AI? Yes, of course, the environmental cost, but mainly, it looks shit. How much for the ball bearings on an armadillo, topped with matchsticks?
