Here is a photo I took of that beautiful, iconic tree when I walked Hadrian’s Wall in 2016.

If you can get a lighter sentence for such mitigating circumstances as undue provocation or whatever, couldn't we also have heavier sentences for sheer unmitigated shitheadery?

It's bad manners to leave any food on your plate, as it implies that it wasn't to your liking.

It's also bad manners to leave no food on your plate, as it suggests you weren't given enough.

The only option is to do as you see fit, wipe your face, and run.

Russian officers helped Ukraine target the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in exchange for a cash reward, Kyiv Post quoted the Atesh guerrilla movement as saying

It was not specified exactly how much was paid for such information, but the guerrillas said that it was enough to "cover the risks" for the officers and their families

D'you suppose Orbán wakes up in the morning hoping that today will be the day that the Russian tanks roll into Budapest again? I mean, it must poison every moment of his life that he missed out in 1956, it would have meant everything to him to see his fellow citizens crushed by Russians; the thing he longs for more than anything else in the world.

So how many days are we from Elon offering to rescue 's military from by hypothetical submarine?

The best thing about an air fryer is it makes it practical to have egg and chips for breakfast.

@FAIR The (remaining) residents of Bucha might beg to differ.

Putin is a war criminal and is engaging in attempted genocide. That he has yet to achieve the scale of Hitler’s depreciation is a low bar, and anybody carrying water for his imperial conquest absolutely deserves to be called out.

To put it another way, it's absurd to try to re-terraform the Earth while still continuing to venusform it with all our might.

I get that we aren’t decarbonizing fast enough. But I would rather put my time into working with communities to build coastal and climate resilience. I would rather spend my time imagining how our communities can thrive in a zero emission world.

"Last night, russia in one of its “surgical attacks on mil targets” destroyed 300 tons of humanitarian goods in Lviv. Food, medicines, electric generators, plastic windows - to help survive the coming winter. Given by Caritas International.

What are all these complaints I keep hearing about a culture of imp unity? I think imps should have united a long time ago. Strength in numbers and all that.

Like Rupert Murdoch, I'm a great believer that journalism should be "". Which is why I think when someone interviews Donald Trump, they should then walk around to his backside and interview that end of him as well. Then readers/viewers can decide for themselves which is more sane, rational, articulate and in touch with the facts.

I really need to work on my irony. I've just had two people I thought fairly well of unfollow me because they thought I was serious.

Look, it may be technically renewable but that doesn't mean you should run your 4WD pickup on refined beef tallow, mmmmkay?

So the CW of the usual cohort of maniacs is that "Russell Brand was speaking truth to power so they have to tear him down." Now I'm scratching my head trying to work out what truths Jimmy Savile was speaking to power.
