First look at Charlie Brooker’s ‘BLACKMERE’. The crime thriller follows a tormented detective hunting a ritualistic serial killer before more victims are claimed. Coming to Netflix in early 2027. #Blackmere #CharlieBrooker #Netflix

It's not HIGH on the list of things Reagen ruined, but the U.S. actually had legislated clothing sizing standards until his department of commerce abolished them, and I think about that every time I have to buy a fucking belt or pair of pants.

How odd. The BBC World Service program Newshour’s September 9 episode, titled “UK Hits Back On Israeli Sanctions Criticism” is… 1 minute long as provided on the website. (I did find an unexpurgated copy at a BBC Sounds page, presumably forgotten. It’s 49 minutes there.)

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.
