I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

The ‘progress’ made at Cop29 has been on carbon markets: a world of magical thinking, over-claiming and distorted truth, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Mind boggling hour on the seas yesterday. For over an hour before sunset this humpback whale breached dozens of times, at one point breaching only 36 seconds after their previous dive When you remember adult humpbacks weigh as much as OVER A DOZEN OF MY VAN, it's absolutely astonishing #MarineLife

The obvious Kate Middleton explanation is that Prince William's sent them into hiding based on intelligence that soon the Exiled Prince Harry, emboldened by his father's illness, will land his troops of Canadian, Australian and American loyalists to seize the British Throne. No mystery here.

i have to admit that occasionally reading wallstreetbets is a guilty pleasure because sometimes you read a paragraph like this and you just can't stop laughing. WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR FRAMES
Not to mention, the release of Sora AI should drastically lower the cost of film production. I hear them say $30 million is a small budget for an animated film? Psssh…. uh, buddy, Dall E charges $0.04 a picture, that’s ~$4,500 for the number of frames in Toy Story. Where are you getting your frames.

Because becoming more conservative as you age was never a result of getting older, it was a function of getting richer. The greedy fucks took all the shit, so we never got richer. It's not fucking rocket science.

So in "What's Happening in Small City New Zealand" today, a guy in a BMW honked a person in a wheelchair getting into a car, outside a hospital. And a nearby construction worker calmly walked over and tipped his lunch of biryani and butter chicken all over the BMWs windscreen. And people clapped.

Just buried my dad and he wanted to be buried in the same grave as his mum, but made it quite clear that there were to be no hymns and no religion, just poems. So it's exactly what we did. Wasn't too delighted when my daughter suggested I should read out a Philip Larkin poem there, but never mind 😂
'This Be The Verse' by Philip larkin:
They fuck you up, your mum and dad,
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats.
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
and don't have any kids yourself.
