I don’t think it’s the wearing of nappies that is worthy of ridicule. You are right, it’s a medical question, people who need it should wear it, and everybody else should just stfu about it. (Except perhaps in the odd case when medical conditions do come into question while assessing the fitness of a candidate to an office, especially such a high stakes and demanding one as the potus, but that’s by the by).

What is chilling is the followers of Trump who try to make a virtue out of it. And ridiculous. Laughing at them is the right response because the other option is utter despair.

A bowel movement if you will…

Cocksuckers!

In the seventies and eighties the communist leaders of Hungary, when talking about the realities of the time introduced some terms to explain the difference of the real world from the ideals.

“Socialism that exists”
“Socialism that works”

The jokes immediately started coming, pointing out that the socialism that exists does not work, while the socialism that works does not exist.

Flour is a common ingredient for thickening stews etc. Not OP, but if I had to guess I’d wager that the flour soaked up all the moisture in the pan, then dried out and started to burn.

Oh so that’s why it’s buggered! Bugger…

Not related, but I was reminded of this old joke: what’s the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn’t think he’s a doctor.

Not this one, thanks for the recommendation, but I’ve heard White Wine In The Sun, and that’s touched me even though I’ve spent all my Christmases in the Northern hemisphere. 🙂

Great tune, too.

This question reminds me of Tim Minchin’s observations of alternative medicine. By definition, alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or has been proved not to work.

You know what we call alternative medicine that has been proved to work?

Medicine.

Sequel server grinds my gears.

Both of these things can be true. I said it would be safer, you say that when there is trouble, it’d be a much bigger trouble. However, crashing with a rolling car would be a much more common occurrence than with a flying one, where it would basically only happen as a catastrophic malfunction. Nobody would walk out unexpectedly in front of a flying car.

Then again, self driving cars would be much safer off the ground. None of that ‘which pedestrian should we run over’ ethical dilemmas that car industry moral philosophers and actuarials currently grapple with.

Dagestan has no monopoly on stupid people.

At least you didn’t make the mistake in the bottom right, not before taking the picture.

I was chatting to my dentist about having a mild fear of pain during the procedure, mainly thanks to Laurence Olivier, and his next question was, ‘Is it safe?’

All the journos I am aware of are on substack/bluesky/whatever else they’re flocking to this week, and also on twitter, because of course they are.

Could you do reps with the rack?

They are typing, but slower.
