Counter-argument: This is awful. Lego used to be a £20 box of bricks and no rules, to let a kid's imagination run riot. Then smash it and start again. Now it's a £140 kit to make one thing that happened before the kid was even born. Then put it on a shelf and dust it. Go shit in your hat, Lego.

The War Game is a show in which we are asked to pretend Michael Gove, the Tory Party's emotional support turbot, can handle a global nuclear crisis, when we all know he couldn't handle a spoonful of gak in an Aberdonian nightclub.
Images of Michael Gove, a man with a face only a motherfucker could love, dancing like nobody is watching, which we all wish was the case.

Why the f**k do we not classify the social media companies as “publishers”? They would then be subject to the existing law that makes a publisher responsible for what it publishes. It should not make any difference that what the social media companies publish is digital rather than ink on paper

As I board the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, I’m reminded yet again of three things about the EU: 1) You don’t sacrifice any of your national identity or culture by being part of the EU. Estonia remains Estonia. Finland remains Finland 2) Schengen is great. 3) Brexit was and is shit.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best goats I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each goat in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.
A goat who lives behind my house, who is angling her neck awkwardly in a rather pathetic and desperate attempt to see my television set and catch the finale of season 7 of The Gilmore Girls.

BREAKING: Indigenous white people commit riot and arson. Incompetent indigenous white police fire water cannon. Indigenous white politicians who fucked up our economy discuss "legitimate concerns" in lying newspapers owned by indigenous white tax evaders. Immigrants somehow remain the problem.
