I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Tailgating is one of the funniest things about US sports imho. Stadiums aren't walkable, so you can't just go to a pub or get a meal beforehand. Your only option is to get drunk in the car park

Three different baseball caps for "Wing Fest London" from 2014 to 2019 (plus a 2017 model hiding under one of them)

Feeling a strange pang of sadness for whoever's multi-year Wing Fest baseball caps ended up in this charity shop

Totally! I really sympathise with people who fall into the vicious cycle of not learning enough social skills to get a chance to practice them, and the worst bits of the internet are either "quick fixes" or wallowing in it

And the fact that he uses looksmaxxing to get out of learning social skills (he really doesn't even seem comfortable talking to women) probably digs him so much deeper into that hole

The clips I've seen make it look like he *hates* his own fanbase too, but hasn't found any way to escape them by doing something different

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

heartwarming video of astronaut Christina Koch greeting her dog for the first time after returning from space. the pup can be seen snarling, back arched, before scampering to its word buttons and pressing "IMPOSTOR" repeatedly, then "FALSE. SKIN. FALSE. SKIN." several times

Italian government to Trump…

If I understand my apocryphal stories about incentives, this might lead to Colombians setting up hundreds of illicit hippo farms...

Japanese sci-fi: two robots in space, yearning

American sci-fi: man gets the author's beliefs on polygamy confirmed by the aliens of ramalama IV

french sci-fi: two horny bounty hunters visit the Galaxy of Breasts

British sci-fi: nuclear war. Everyone dead. America's fault

The original Nick Adams version was Kinkade-level dreck (remember that Andy Thomas painting where he's hanging out with Eisenhower and Nixon?), but I'm fascinated by the Fujimoto-esque angel he's photoshopped into the middle of the sky

A guy on the pier here appears to have some kind of seagull based HIIT workout (he’s in athletic clothes and looks like he started a workout on his watch) where he attempts to stop them from eating several piles of birdseed (?) that he put out at intervals.

ME: "No, video games aren't all about killing people. It's actually a vibrant art form that can cover an incredible range of ideas in a way no other medium can."
GAMERS: "These are the best games ever. They're all about killing people. And they're all coloured mainly in shades of grey and brown."

I see trade routes are in the news again

A desk with a monitor, desk top computer, keyboard, printer, and a a rack of CDs and a yellow stool. Circa 2005.

Me and my kid visited the Museum of Home. I saw something that felt like a true attack. It was a scene from a home in 2005. Me and another mom with teens stood there as our kids asked, "you had this?"
We were grateful.

I'm a rewilding maximalist, but it can't just look like we're shafting rural constituencies with any inconvenience.

The obvious solution is releasing a load of elephant herds in Bristol and London, RETVRN to the Pleistocene

Some VOC workers finding a monstrous bird that can kill a man and deciding to put it on a small confined ship with them; a couple of maad laads as the Dutch would say

it's kind of a relief these days to see a tech company announce that their product is exhibiting "a fondness for particular philosophers" and read on to discover it's not, you know

I go back and forth on how sympathetic Kanye's psychosis makes him, but I've got unending contempt for the Alex Jones/Nick Fuentes crowd who put him on parade the second they saw a chance to grift off his fame

BLOOMBERG: Markets remain bullish on continuing coyote elevation prospects

Explaining to Kanye why tearing the challah is obviously better than slicing it
