Given Lance Armstrong is trending, it’s probably worth reminding people of this splendid bit of Australian humour.

This is a shameful failure from Cambridge University.

I think this crap has reached the “died of cringe” stage.

Holy crap what did the sitting Green councillor do to cop that? Get caught poisoning people’s pets?

Lads, the women are saying “NO”… That’s your cue to sod off. It’s really simple. What kind of socialist protests against women organising collectively within their own political party?

Kidults are real.

If you look at the replies, you will experience an earworm carousel. You have been warned.

One of the many disturbing things all these cases have revealed

Today, 85 out of the 532 Crown Courtrooms in England and Wales are sitting empty. That’s 16 per cent. Burnham’s Government, just like Starmer’s, believes that the most effective way to reduce the backlog of 80,000 cases in the Crown Court is to curb our right to a trial by jury. This is not only sinister but nonsensical. Jury trials are clearly not the problem. The real cause of the backlog — and the denial of justice to victims — is the fact that, on average, more than 64 courtrooms sit empty every working day. The Institute for Government and the new Chair of the Criminal Bar Association have said that these reforms would save just 2 per cent of Crown Court time — not the 20 per cent promised by ministers. We know just how important jury trials are at the Free Speech Union. Our research has shown that those charged with speech-related offences are almost twice as likely to be acquitted in a Crown Court with a jury than in a magistrates’ court without one. If these plans go through, more people will be imprisoned simply for exercising their right to free speech. We cannot let that happen.

Bloody Hell Angry Anderson died. Massive kick in the childhood.

Meet Regina, everyone. At vast personal expense Regina had her sense of humour surgically removed in Switzerland at the age of 41, having accidentally chuckled a little bit at a bad dad joke and finding herself unable to bear the shame. She now takes offence on behalf of pigeons.

This is where the Arabs were ahead of us By castrating all their slaves, they made sure that there were no descendants who could claim reparations

AI will have my em-dashes when it prises them from my cold, dead hands.

Stop treating the adult population like children and stop allowing adults who behave like despotic toddlers to decree what the rest of us are allowed to watch.

It’s a shame Matthew doesn’t have a blue check, because this is the best thread on X today. Every Nobel Prize winner endorsing the California wealth tax, refuted by their own award-winning writing.
