I'm late to this I'm sorry but I swear I've seen this exact headline about 100 times in the past two years, if I wasn't very lazy I would look to make some sort of compilation of "Brexit finally about to be good we swear" headlines

Despite superficial differences in context and intent, DON'T LET THE SCROOGES GET YOU DOWN is essentially just a holiday-themed CRUSH THE SABOTEURS

I don't see the Eye outlasting Hislop, to be honest. They're all old now, and there's no new blood coming through.

When Peter Cook handed the magazine over to Ian Hislop, everyone was impressed that he’d give the satirical organ to this fresh young firebrand. It’s a simulacrum of our society that it’s laughable that Hislop would now do the same.

At least the transphobia might decrease with Ratbiter gone though.

Well happy Christmas all. I have to go to bed early, I have an early start in the morning going down to Reading to start work. I do get paid double time tomorrow and Boxing day so that's nice.

It’s super late here and I just finished Metal Gear Soliding a pillowcase with presents into my kids’ room and swapping it for the empty one there without stepping on any lego, swearing, or otherwise ballsing it up, so improvement on last year.

Merry Christmas Ukgoons and hope everyone has a good end to the year.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Gotta say I really dislike battery powered stuff and except for a drill and impact driver all I got are corded or pneumatic tools and I prefer to deal with a cord than batteries. Makes me feel weird.

In the house we got a central vac, which I really like, no bags and no filters (the air is blown outside).

Post your Christmas dinner pics imo. Happy Christmas Eve goons. I'm currently eating a burrito and enjoying a large long island while I camp rare mounts in my dumb warcraft game after I spent the evening building and setting up a raspberry pi for pihole.


This year my sister was short on money so I surprised her with a huge waitrose order and she has been joyfully cooking.


I hope you are all having an OK day.

It's pretty explicable. Fridges were becoming common, so gelatin was now easy for anyone to make but hadn't consequently lost its status as a symbol of wealth yet. Give it a few years, it stops being novel and everyone realises how vile it actually is

I get that, what I don't get is how anybody looked at any of those and did not immediately think they were disgusting and not want to make them.

Like if rich people start eating deep fried turds it's not gonna make me want to go out and get in on the trend.

It doesn't seem like a trend that should be able to be a trend. Who wants to turn every meal into the jelly you get on the bottom of yesterday's refrigerated chicken legs?

There's a billion and one nakedly unappealing trends throughout recent history that I could point you to if I could remember them. If you think back very hard over your life you can probably think of at least one very stupid thing you got in on that seemed like a good idea at the time.

OwlFancier

There's stupid poo poo sure, just that one in particular I feel like elicits exactly the same response from everyone who looks at it, which is "oh god that sounds disgusting"

I think the last trend I did was... maybe yoyos in school?

I'm wrapping presents (only 2, and only out of tradition) and shock horror, watching wrestling. Specifically the Baka Gaijin + Friends show from some Tokyo bar where they have no ring and just wrestle on a tiny mat. One of the wrestlers has just ordered beer for the 2 competitiors.

On the other hand it’s good that there won’t be too many people experiencing it being unpleasantly cold inside this year.

Well, not tonight anyway, looks like it’s getting colder next weekend, which sucks.
