That thumbnail is perfect, cuts out both the figures that make this joke work, doubles the enjoyment when you open up the full size pic.

If ever a reliable method for measuring actual intelligence rather than IQ is invented I imagine we'll be seeing a somewhat lumpier graph than that smooth mean distribution curve.

The absolutely hilarious thing about this is that all of these MPs that clamoured for this bill because "Won't somebody think of the children!" are up to all sorts of terrible behaviour and a whole bunch of them are on Signal.

I live in the UK. My experience has been that the selection of beers isn't that seasonal. Sure there will be guest beers in some pubs/chains but for example I can go to a Sam Smith's pub and they have four stouts year round plus a pretty good porter. Just a lot of people don't like to go to Sam Smith's pubs because the owner has... feelings about one thing and another.

So if I'm meeting friends usually there's something nearby that we're planning to do and in a great number of pubs the choice is Guinness or nothing.

The problem with IPA's is not that people enjoy them or that brewers brew them and pubs stock them. The problem is that there's so many of them, all purporting to be slightly different, that it's pushing out other kinds of beer. The amount of times I have walked into a pub and there's somewhere between three and seven IPA's and I ask if they've got any stouts and the answer is, "We've got Guinness."

I'm going to need a reference on that staff abuse allegation, I've tried Googling but haven't turned up anything.

I don't have a tv so I didn't catch the Squarespace commercial, don't know if it even played in the UK.

Twenty hours in and it's up to me to remind people that Dolly Parton is the full package?

  • She's got tunes, OK 'I Will Always Love You' is a bit cloying but the rumour is that she also wrote Jolene the same day
  • She supports other women. When porn star Julia Parton was around and telling people that she was Dolly's cousin, Dolly's public response was something like, 'She ain't my cousin but I can't condemn what she does... it's not like I ever tried to hide my breasts. Good luck to her.'
  • She produced Buffy The Vampire Slayer through her production company Sanddollar. She kept a low profile publicly but behind the scenes was very supportive of the show because it provided good role models for young women.
  • She funds the Dolly Parton Imagination library which mails free books to kids under five.

Paramilitaries on both sides used car bombs. If you want to do a deep dive on the Troubles the best non-partisan source is The CAIN Archive.
