She’s wearing a Nirvana shirt while failing to recognise "Teen Spirit" precisely so as to go viral among irate Gen Xers and millennials. Sometimes the kids aren’t dumb.
Marquis de Sade: I enjoy rape.
Literary critics: Wow, what acute sociological satire...
Sade: I want to rape people.
Critics: Such a devastating attack on religious and bourgeois hypocrisy.
Sade: In fact, I *am* a rapist.
Critics: *Sustained thunderous applause*
Have to defend Truss here. I’m not a superstitious man but if the Queen — who had ruled for *70 years* — died in my *first week as PM* I would absolutely think "why me" and so would you.
Also, 🔥Liz Truss’s autobiography extracts have just dropped … and it’s clear it’s going to be an absolute banger
In this tiny extract the Queen dies - and Truss is moved to ask “Why me?”
Hi, I'm Sacha Baron Cohen, I built a career in edgy comedy that blurred the line between truth and fiction and I'm here to tell you we have to clamp down on edgy comedy and things that blur the line between truth and fiction.
*As I evict someone* Why don't you just build your own house? Also, you're banned from my friends' construction company, home improvement retailer, and bank.
I'm by no means an uncritical capitalist but "your system in the middle of a pandemic is what our system looks like normally" is not the devastating own this guy thinks it is.
Whale fucking. No joke. Each year, on Feb 1st, in the Molokai Channel, a few men compete in the world's only whale fucking contest. Humpback whales are easy to fuck- for a second or less. World record: 31 seconds. I competed once. Almost got my ribs crushed. Stick with Ostriches.
What's great about this is how Owen starts off with the cocksure ease of a middle-aged professional broadcaster about to own a random student and then gradually retreats into baffled consternation as he faces an actual argument.
Whether you agree with the young conservative or not, it’s entertaining to see him articulately embarrass Owen Jones, who clearly was trying to trip him up with this line of questioning for his next outage video compilation.
Fewer people are getting married and having kids than at any time in documented history. An insane amount of blue tick posts are shadow boxing with a non-existent hegemonic narrative.
Every now and then a character pops up in American life that you have to believe the screenwriters have been cooking up for years but left on the back burner for when their other storylines got stale.
My mother, Anne, passed away this morning. She was a beautiful person, who strove to do good every day she was alive and who enriched every life she touched.
It's incredibly Guardian to write a whole article about "attempts to portray him...as violent" and not get around to mentioning that he had a warrant out for his arrest after allegedly hitting an old woman. You don't have to excuse his death to be honest.
According to Lebanese festive traditions, Nassim St Nicholas Taleb visits your house at midnight, eats the bowl of squid ink pasta that you left for him and leaves free weights and copies of Montaigne's Essays for your children.
Sinn Féin MPs are forever posting teary-eyed tributes to fallen soldiers but then you Google their names and find out that they died tripping over their own bag of homemade explosives and eviscerated a passing pensioner and a 23-year-old mum.
Some journalists will never admit to being *corrected*. Things are only *clarified*, as if they were mostly right, and the truth was so obscure they cannot take blame for being wrong.
I know people say "you couldn’t make it up" about quite banal things but if I was writing a satire about Harry and Meghan I'd have no hope of dreaming up such a hilariously insane thing to say.
The same proportion of Japanese murder victims are killed by Japanese people as Venezuelan victims are killed by Venezuelan people — so when you think about it, Caracas is just as safe as Tokyo
I don’t get men who play video games. It’s addictive, you’re not improving yourself and you don’t accomplish anything. Anyways, time to post my 100,000th tweet.
2. "If Ted Bundy were alive today, he'd be on his third Netflix special. It would be his apology tour. And he'd be traveling around the country being like, 'When my friends and I realized it was wrong to kill women, we felt so bad about it."

is so good
My wife's English co-worker came in today so proud. He had some "Polish" snacks and jokingly asked my wife if she wanted some. They were Polish snacks. My wife is Silesian. So we kicked the crap out of that p**rd*l*ny gorol.
The problem with maths is that it churns out robotic data drones, unlike the humanities, which produce endlessly individual people who never have the same tastes and opinions.
Big fan of the subset of online leftist chaps who think being called the wrong words is deeply traumatising but the invasion of your home and theft of your property is no big deal.
From the latest Stephen King. Were people always this insufferably unsubtle? You'd think an experienced, bestselling novelist could cleverly allude to his politics rather than beating you over the head with them like a crowbar.
“The natural world is collapsing around us. I couldn’t bring a child into that”
Blythe Pepino is the founder of BirthStrike, a group of women too scared to have children due to climate change

Public health expert here. You might know me from my columns "Why Not Stay Two *Miles* Apart?" and "Yes, You Killed Your Granny" but I'm here to tell you why mass gatherings are actually good.
Extremely online people need to get out of their bubble and accept that the second largest Democrat donor ruining the finances of millions of people isn’t news in the real world.
