"our son was run over by our car" is a masterwork in the field of passive language

Salute to an all-time tweet

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

I'm sorry, but this is utterly unacceptable from Stonewall's new Chair. And entirely unnecessary. Nothing is gained from this except communicating to trans people that Stonewall does not care about them.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

The fact they made this travesty and didn't even call it Your Own Personal Jesus is the worst crime of all.

Image of Abbey Road cover and vinyl on record player “Here comes the sun” threaten Beatles

The Beatles, 66, first issued the ominous warning in 1969, and have repeated it ad nauseam ever since, terrorising autistics worldwide via the medium of ads, movies and that one guy at uni who thought people wanted to hear him playing the ukulele.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

i wonder if JD Vance would be surprised to know many husbands don't have to make their wives promise not to jump out of airplanes

I’m not even remotely joking when I say he operates on a loop that just goes:

1. Tariffs
2. Iran
3. Greenland
4. Panama

It’s the Taft administration but everyone has got carbon monoxide poisoning.

This is a big misunderstanding. During this ceasefire I’m still allowed to kill you and your allies. You allow us gasoline so our country can continue operating. I am good at diplomacy and widely viewed as the serious one.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

He Is Risen

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

He is risen

You can tell me Bluesky is dead, irrelevant and actively hostile, but you have NO IDEA how many point & click adventure games I've played.

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

The good thing: Fishback has virtually no chance of winning the nomination.

The bad thing: It's more than a bit worrying that he can draw a pretty decent sized crowd of mostly young white men despite being so obviously horrible

I have a benign tumour that I’m getting burnt off!! Thrilled. I’ll feel like a creme brûlée
