When the invasion from the fourth dimension came, it had unexpected benefits. The new overlords were surprisingly mild. They only wanted the Earth for Qling, a substance we neither understood nor needed. They filled enormous eye-warping four dimensional tankers with a cargo we couldn’t even perceive, then left us in peace. A few stayed, having found human friends and even lovers.

My neighbour is one such. We met when xe returned my lost cat. “I don’t know how she keeps getting out”, I said, “all the doors and windows are shut”.

“What about that gap there?”

“Where?”

“Oh of course, it’s invisible in three dimensions. Here let me close it up.”

The cat is still furious about this.

Johnson and Sunak prevaricating about WhatsApp messages is reminiscent of school boys telling the teacher that the dog ate their homework. Unless you turn off chat back up or delete messages, it’s impossible to lose them. LIARS.

There is a guy at work who, when having a conversation with me, will start sentences with something like, “Well, as an engineer, I think of things like…” or “Well, being an engineer, I look at things from that perspective” like we’re not both engineers. I wonder if he does this with the men in our group, too? 🤔

just watched my wife roll up this cereal box like a bag of chips -- in front of me, after 4 years of living together -- and i am not ok

Stop talking about leaving the nazi bar while you continue to attend the nazi bar (but you go there just to tell everyone else you are leaving, soon, almost now, just a moment… “hey have I told you I’m about to leave this place?? Well, I am”).

You obviously give them money because, hey, it’s a bar, and you’re there, what are you supposed to do? Not drink and don’t pay the nazi bar owner? Sheeshh, be civilized.

Just don’t go there anymore. Don’t talk, just do it.

The need for meaningful inheritance taxes -- steep ones above some heirs-are-still-absurdly-rich threshold -- has never been more clear.

Banker-for-the-rich UBS data shows that family dynasties are becoming the primary system by which the ultra-rich come about their money.

It is completely unearned income but they pay minuscule relative taxes.

Elon Musk: I am appalled that the Save the Turtles Foundation has stopped advertising on X just because I have encouraged users to stomp every turtle they see.

One strong leader fighting for democracy, one coward destroying it.
We can't let Orbán destroy European integration. Time for

Die nieuwe #cybertruck van Elon Musk lijkt exact op deze Citroën uit de jaren 70.

While cleaning up, I found a box full of old memories
