Do no-headphones-on-the-bus people think that their TikToks are just the same as other people having conversations?
Is that what's going on? You two are speaking and making noise, so what's the difference if I play something out loud

The portmanteau scorigami doesn't make any sense. What on earth does folding paper have to do with uniqueness?
It should be scorax legomenon, or scorpax legomenon, something like that.
This is the only place I can post this, sorry

Weakest Link could never work today because all the contestants would go on with prepared one-liners to sass Anne Robinson back with.
Part of the charm was the fact that each and every one of the people on the show acted like they had no idea they were going to get dunked on

The USA is doing sportswashing all wrong. The idea is you do a Russia or a Qatar and welcome everyone in, trying to appear super-cute so that people stop thinking about your appalling human rights violations and corruption. You're not meant to shine a light on it. Stupid country.

of course all the chaos is funny and I'm glad that Keir Starmer, a bad person, is having a bad time. but jfc what a waste of two years, what a waste of a majority, what a waste of a once in a generation window to improve things. and now it's just 24/7 infighting, briefing, backstabbing. pathetic

1. Every year, large areas of gorse in Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks are deliberately burnt. It’s an appalling act of vandalism, killing wildlife, preventing regeneration of crucial habitats, releasing toxic smoke and carbon. This thread is about why it’s happening. Pic from this weekend. 1/7

It's been a bad weekend for Arsenal, but while fans can understandably wallow with the angst until the next game, the team, the manager, and the club, have to do it differently.

Wild that this kind of stuff isn't the driver (lol) of economic policy in every country in the world.
“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath
Some costs aren’t costs.

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.
