Rowling pulled a loaded gun on Amnesty and they were like "aw! thank you!" and took it out of her hands and blew their own kneecaps off

honestly so generous of Tim Heidecker to let himself get upstaged by Jim Haggerty on the undercard every single episode of Real InfoWars

following an email from Susanne Delaney of The Irish Inquiry demanding all references to her be removed from this article, I have corrected the spelling of her name, which I initally misspelled as Suzanne

I genuinely try to engage with the ideas underpinning ideologies that aren't my own and appreciate the reasons – good and bad – people might come to believe them. but in all my years, I've never understood monarchists. "we need a special little guy to sit in a chair" is not a belief system

I noticed Gript have posted a little blurb on X to advertise every guest speaker at their summer school but one. "encouraging critical thinking and debate" is certainly one way to say "inciting abuse and harassment"

I used to roll my eyes at people who called this movie Lynchian, then I watched it and I was like damn this direct-to-video Universal Soldier sequel is Lynchian as fuck

Ken O'Flynn, Clown Prince of Cork North-Central, has submitted over 5,200 PQs this year. more than 10% of the total. 173 TDs submitting PQs and one in ten comes from a posh brain-poisoned little fancy boy who's too busy joining racist dogpiles to bother showing up to the foreign affairs committee
