Ten hours seems a lot for the Harry Potter series but they spend two hours on the "uh they got muggle plumbing when they got bored of magicking away their shit" plot point

Easy to joke about padding properties now but it won't be funny when Disney get ideas and make a Season 11 of The Simpsons

So if someone hacks your Twitter and changes the email it sends a message saying "log in and change this if it wasn't you!". But you can't log in, because they hacked your account. Anyway can't wait for it to be The Everything App

ME: light won't turn on CLAUDE: This is a well-documented — and solvable — wiring failure. You'll need a sledgehammer, a multimeter, and eighty feet of insulated cable. Start by smashing a great big hole— ME: oh wait switch was off CLAUDE: Good instinct to double-check,

edited version of a 'Teen Comix' strip by Branson Reese. In the first panel a cool teen wearing sunglasses and a t-shirt with the legend NO FEAR becomes aware of another cool teen wearing a different t-shirt. In the second panel we see this second t-shirt which reads WHAT IF LAO GAN MA CRISPY CHILLI IS BAD FOR YOU. In the third panel the original teen is now wearing a t-shirt reading ONE FEAR.

I think The Salt Path is an instructive parallel - fantastic reporting by the Observer, and for similar reasons to this story, something that we were all talking about. But nobody in a national newspaper wrote pieces about how that showed the grip of women’s lib in non-fiction publishing.

As Prime Minister I will put a wind turbine on Dobby's grave, turn Platform 9 3/4 into the Pret it's meant to be, and even read the books to find more sites to desecrate. No other policies

Searched Spotify for an "Indie Landfill" playlist and it opens with Killers, Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys. What child made this. No respect at all

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

Watched the England game in a pub where the TV in the next room was five seconds ahead. Pubs should have to pass an exam to get a 'showing important football' licence
