The single note that indicates you should repeat the phase you just heard on Linguaphone records has pulled out of Ed Sheeran's tour.

This post is making the rounds again for some reason and therefore I feel I must inform you that they’ve hired another one so there are now TWO forensic pathologists working in Iceland.
My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.

It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

What I like about Ed Sheeran's "apolitical" excuse is that it reveals what "apolitical" really means for most white people. It doesn't mean apolitical, it just means "goes with whatever the majority does." That is radically distinct from apolitical.
Here's Ed Sheeran being apolitical and not taking sides

I made this design in 2019, and it’s been ripped off by countless creepy little Temu shops, as well as by Shein.

Seeing it in an AI ad is ruining my day, ngl.

If you like it, buy one from me - link in bio. I actually give money to queer mutual aid and medical care groups.

Don’t worry I’m sure Burnham is going to post a Tik Tok about his favourite chocolate bar any day now.
The fact that Universities are on their absolute boney arse and no one gives one single fuck is baffling, infuriating and deeply upsetting. I'm not leaving HE because I fancied a change, I'm leaving HE because after nearly 20 years in red brick, specialist and Post-92 institutions its just SHIT now
***URGENT PLEASE SHARE*** University of Brighton management have announced today that they ‘give notice of termination of all collective agreements’. This is a fundamental erasure of workers' rights. Management have announced the termination of all contractual documents, which includes:

Well that was lots of fun. Just knockabout adventure with plenty of heart. I love that this and Andor are stories that can be told in the same universe.
We're watching The Mandolrian and Grogu this evening and really enjoying it. I didn't know I needed to see a jacked hutt punching out stormtroopers until I was watching it.

While I have no doubt that he would have stayed there to the end regardless, had he left even two minutes early the press would have been all over him for not showing the required solemnity. Meanwhile Vance is in the VIP lounge the moment he thinks he can get away with it.
Zohran Mamdani "was the only senior elected official who stayed at the 9/11 memorial ceremony at the WTC until the end…Vance was the first to leave the VIP area, and other elected officials began 'schmoozing.'"

The Dominators is very clearly a story about the angriest gay couple in the universe vs the silliest gay couple in the universe.
