This horse wins World Book Day

I think I might warm to Spurs if they adopted Bradford City's unofficial slogan "up the fucking chickens"

honey I put up with Lowtax for like twenty full years, I'm not gonna leave a website that's actually good just because you got kicked in the head by a horse

Oh, that looks very familiar indeed. Think I had it on near-permanent loan from my middle school library.

A still from the nuclear war drama Threads with an high level shot of Sheffield city looking grimy with white text 'Sheffield Saturday March 5th'

Happy Threads day to all that celebrate!

Even I want one of these and I swore I was done with Apple products years ago

Sounds like most of the problems are at Honda's end, to the extent that Newey got them to agree to a joint press conference where their top guy sat next to him while he slagged off their new power unit. I think we're seeing why he's typically been kept behind the scenes. They'll be behind Cadillac.

Both drivers' descriptions of what it's like to drive the new Aston Martin are incredible, but I particularly feel for Lance Stroll. It sounds like you couldn't design a more effective implement of torture for someone who broke his wrists a few years back

Tennento GAME BOZZ

For world book day a pal’s 10yo has gone dressed as Alan Bennet and frankly has won today as far as I’m concerned

This is so good. I have had almost word for word this same conversation with my kid, but never all at once

YES

Found myself exclaiming "Odds Bodkins!" a lot recently. I know this must be from some kind of 1980s kids media but can't for the life of me remember what, anyone able to help?

Oh they came back all right, just under the pseudonym 'The War On Drugs'

Super appropriate how the prototype he's modelling there make the wearer look like Woody Allen

especially middle-aged and half-cut life members I guess but STILL

TEVIOTTTT <3

I still have my 'life membership' card for EUSA but have yet to get chance to use it to get into Teviot or Potterrow whenever I've been back up to Edinburgh as they are VERY sniffy about life members signing guests in

*Doctor looking at my X-Rays*
Doctor: Ah, this is exactly what I was afraid of.
Me: Oh my God, what?
Doctor: Skeletons.

If the AI robots want to use my body as a battery and plug my consciousness into a simulation of the late 90s they absolutely 100% have my permission

I mean why *wouldn't* you be listening to House To Astonish? It's always a fantastic way to spend an hour, and episodes are now released so sporadically that it gives newcomers a great chance to catch up housetoastonish.com

‘Making’ chess pieces from Lego. Wow !

Still think they should have done a companion series to Absolute Batman focusing on Robin's origins and called it Absolute Dick

Welp, there go the last two consistently useful websites

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

"Check your timed posts" department

uh oh

Has this man ever heard of tempting fate

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I'm mostly going for endless replayability, which leads me to:

1) Sensible World of Soccer ECE (1996)
2) Doom (1993)
3) No Man's Sky
4) Vampire Survivors
5) Skyrim

My son has taken to doing an impression of Wallace off of Wallace and Gromit that involves wedging a full Pepperami sideways into his mouth and grinning. It is UNCANNY

you are not prepared for the soundtrack
