Ok. So. Some things happened. And then this happened. Which I... did not see coming??

I feel such deep shame. But I’ve written about it here, and for one reason only: I could not find another way to stop. theguardian.com/society/2022/n… also, if you’re thinking “lol, who gambles on tennis, that’s mad niche”, I 100% agree and this element being funny has literally been the one thing that’s got me through-ish

Obvs the Liz Truss cheese speech is now more iconic than Churchill’s beaches – but I still don’t think the *level* of cringe/nonsense/hilarity is appreciated enough. Most clips don’t even get to the Isaac Newton apples bit. I will simply never get over this performance. Just actually one of the funniest I’ve ever seen

Here is a short thread of Government cabinet ministers & advisers being extremely dishonest / stupid / disrespectful / shambolic / incompetent / embarrassing at committee hearings.

this gets better with every single second & i will never recover from it ...if I preface the video by saying it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger in his kitchen wearing a Terminator t-shirt and giving coronavirus advice, while feeding a pony called Whisky & a donkey called Lulu.... it is somehow still better than you imagined

Holy shit, this guy is amazing. What a hero. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n… Mcontext: he’s called Mamoudou Gassama, he’s 22, originally from Mali & scaled 4 storeys in 30 seconds to save that toddler in Paris
