That does look... special! Why the bread, though? It feels as if I'm missing a pun.

Where has this video been all of my life? I think I will return to this when feeling low, in the same way that I currently use a snifter of Laphroaig 10 or the lick of the back of a frog. And yes, I do think Jack Nance derived his entire acting persona from Albert Hall here. youtu.be/GmnnLs0v9_s

If I had one of these I would use it as a charcuterie board. Just serve little slices of meat & cheese on various layers. Although I could see the case for putting chess pieces on several of the slices to do like a surreal "Kirk & Spock play 3D chess" thing.

Ed Sheeran should be more careful about who he listens to. Defending the indefensible through “both sides” arguments doesn’t promote peace; it merely preserves a racist status quo.

I agree completely with your sentiments and motivations, but I think you could do with a copy-editor/checker. "he base" should be "his base"; "American's" should be "Americans".

Just seen a screengrab of some right wing grifter objecting to being able to play as a female character in the new GTA, because it could lead to players wanting to transition into women in real life. Nobody tell this twat about novels. It’ll blow his fucking mind.

Ships traveling between the upper Great Lakes and the Atlantic must pass through Canada’s Welland Canal. The 27-mile canal and all eight of its locks are entirely in Ontario, meaning a strategically important portion of U.S. Great Lakes maritime trade depends on Canadian-controlled infrastructure.

I am generally very pro-Andeh so far, but I think that horrible noise was unnecessary for non-twisted-firestarters like me who were sitting eating their tea in front of their laptops. Surely they have the geodemographic technology to target only halfwits dining in country parks or national parks.

Does anyone here understand how Bernard Edwards is getting that sound out of his bass with what appear to be mere flicks of the back of his fingers? I say this as a (lapsed) electric bass owner. 🤯 Maybe my fingers and brain just never worked that way. 0:00 and 2:46 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKmJ...

Interesting that, at 3:30, when Pickering says "I could beat the club record, theoretically", the auto-subtitling mishears "club" as "Trump". The preponderance of his name in the corpus is even ruining subtitles.
