My brain every time I see people on here talking about pensions.
The Jessica Lange 'you stupid slut' meme but the text says "There's not going to be pensions, you stupid millennial".

The solipsism of these people fascinates me. That they can't even conceive of a shared experience when there's the potential to profit from it (as record labels have for over a century) is beyond me.

A thing to remember throughout all of this is that the owners are treating the fans like shit. The owners are cheating, lying, throwing tantrums and embarrassing the club, but in the end they will walk away and it's the fans who are left with the wreckage.

Too late, injecting the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte into my own veins at home with a dirty needle
Google AI overview:

Normandy officially transitioned from a county (the County of Rouen) to a duchy between the years 996 and 1015.
This information is for general knowledge and should not be taken as medical advice; consult with a healthcare provider for any health concerns. While the territory was originally founded as a fiefdom in 911 via the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, its first rulers—beginning with the Viking chieftain Rollo—held the title of "Count of Rouen" or "Jarl of the Northmen".

Twice my primary school gave over an assembly to my year so we could perform my plays. The plays were not commissioned by anyone, I just decided we were doing plays, wrote them, got all the kids in my year to rehearse at play time. I suspect the school felt they *had* to let us perform or we'd riot.

I truly believe that part of the reason Warrington isn't a city and is also not very well known outside the NW of England is that it's a rugby league town and doesn't have a league football team (both Warrington clubs are in the 7th tier).

I grew up in a very similar sort of area (rural Cheshire) and at first I assumed it was a village of similar size to my home village (~6,000) so when I saw there are ~350 ppl in this place... that's barely a place. Why is this national news? Why is a minister commenting?

Came very close to wading in to correct someone who was Wrong On The Internet this morning, but I restrained myself cos 'How much coverage the NME gave LCD Soundsystem in 2007' may be a specialist subject of mine but it's ultimately not worth the beef. Probably.

I remember it clearly cos those few seconds between hearing that Diana had died and hearing that it's was a car crash were spent thinking "I hope it wasn't the IRA, they're going to kill us all if it was", in case you want an insight into growing up as both anxious and Irish in the UK in the 90s.

Anne Hathaway has been giving the lesbians what we want in a Cate Blanchett kind of way for years, and I think she deserves more recognition for that.
Anne Hathaway on the cover of Elle. She is wearing a silky lining black suit jacket and trousers, with only a bra underneath, and she has ear rings right up the side of her visible ear and she's wearing some rings on one finger but in a menacing way, and she's looking at the viewer in a way which reads as both seductive and threatening and there might be some text on this cover, I don't know, I can't see past her.Anne Hathaway is on her knees in a blue c18th style jacket and brown jodpurs, knew high black boots and she has a sword. She's passionately delivering a line to a mixed race woman in a black and white dress with a red shawl. This is clearly a scene from Twelfth Night which is the most lesbotronic Shakespeare play and I need her to wave her sword at me.Anne Hathaway is on another magazine cover, I think. She's wearing another black suit, this time with a white shirt, and she has her hand on her hip like I've been a very very bad girl and she's very disappointed with me and I need punishing.Anne Hathaway is getting her face touched by Michaela Cole, in a scene from the film Mother Mary which has no heterosexual explanation. They are both wearing black and are surrounded by white sticks of light and you could cut the sexual tension with a rolling pin, my goodness.

In the late 2000s I did standup and one of my routines was about how I went to a Catholic school where loads of kids had Polish family and to me Poles were totally normal, thus the then-current media panic could be summed up as "Protestants notice Poles, Panic Ensues".

I know it's v unlikely to happen, but it would be the best thing to happen in club football this century for me if Man Utd's claim that they want to focus the women's team on giving youth a chance actually results in an exciting team of dashing youngsters doing well.

Help settle an argument about why they carve crosses in the bottom of Brussels Sprouts. My mum says it’s so they cook more evenly, I say it’s because they’re undead and it’s the only way to stop them coming back and eating your brains. My brother claims it’s so they expand on impact for a kill shot

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) put out a little infographic for International Moon Day. It compares the diameter of Australia to the diameter of the Moon. This always throws me because in my mind, the Moon is actually bigger!
Infographic showing drawings of Australia and the Moon side by side. Their respective diameters are annotated (4000 km vs 3400km). The population of Australia is stated as 28M people while it is 0 people o the Moon.

A mate who worked in the energy sector once said to me that one of the biggest potential issues with Brexit was it would hinder Britain's ability to get the most out of the single European renewal energy system which will inevitably arise (solar in the Med, wind and tidal up north).

My current fave heatwave game is finding out about how everyone's boiling hot cats are only doing the bare minimum to cool down while simultaneously being furious about being hot. Here's a picture of my idiot who won't stop going in direct sunlight despite being black. She's so mad she's roasting.
A black cat with white toe tips lying on her side in a crescent moon of defeat at the hands of the sun. One sage green eye is open and looking directly at me, accusing me of turning up the thermostat on the world just to inconvenience her. She's lying on a green footstool with a purple fleece blanket under her, not the considerably cooler wooden floor underneath. She has one brain cell and it's been thoroughly cooked.

Garffeld
Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”
