PETA Urges White House To Use Potatoes For Easter Egg Roll

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is urging the White House to ditch traditional Easter eggs in favor of decorated potatoes at its annual egg-rolling event, arguing it would benefit both chickens and constituents’ wallets. What do you think?

“How is it more humane to force hens to give up their potatoes?”

Humberto Lopez, Baton Assembler

“And did the potatoes consent to this?”

Tyler Batic, Lectern Installer

“I’ll waste food the traditional way, thank you.”

Cornelia Goldsmith, Sugar Whitener

Report: Decision Not To Call Film ‘The Baby Yoda Movie’ To Cost Disney $900 Million

BURBANK, CA—Citing nearly a billion dollars of pent-up consumer demand for entertainment featuring an infant version of an already beloved character, a new report released Wednesday by Gower Street Analytics concluded that Disney’s decision not to call its upcoming Star Wars film The Baby Yoda Movie would cost the studio roughly $900 million. “By naming the film The Mandalorian And Grogu, Disney is leaving money on the table from consumers who have no idea who Grogu is but would immediately take out their phones and buy a ticket for any movie of any genre with ‘Baby Yoda’ in its title,” said report author Heather Flynn, who cited a poll in which 81% of potential moviegoers responded “Who the hell are they? Is this a Lord Of The Rings thing?” when presented with marketing materials for the upcoming film. “We found that while Disney will likely recoup its budget, a film titled either The Baby Yoda Movie or Baby Yoda: The Movie would have broken multiple box-office records both domestically and overseas. This catastrophic mistake could upend Disney’s market position if the studio doesn’t at least add the words ‘Baby Yoda’ to the poster somewhere.” At press time, Disney had changed the title of its 2027 Star Wars film from Starfighter to Chewbacca’s Big Day Out.

Study: 97% Of All Sounds Infuriating

ANN ARBOR, MI—Presenting data that quantified a fact already widely accepted as true, scientists at the University of Michigan released a study Wednesday proving that 97% of all sounds were infuriating. “A meta-analysis of research across the entire field of acoustics confirms that nearly every noise produced, whether artificial or natural, is completely enraging,” said the study’s principal investigator, Alan Dearden, who tapped his pen so goddamn incessantly as he spoke that reporters wanted to run from the room screaming. “There are many noises we already know make people’s blood boil: backfiring cars, children shrieking, a coworker slurping soup. But even sounds defined as melodic, like opera or birdsong, are downright unbearable. We also learned that the 3% of sounds that are not maddening can only be heard when one’s head is completely submerged underwater.” The study concluded with a call to action that urged all people to stab a knitting needle into their ears.

That’s the food on our bib. They are the same. They match. See? It makes the meal feel like a big special party. We should get bibs with a pizza picture!” At press time, the nation had reportedly attempted to eat their bibs.

Heartbreaking: The Smart Fridge Is Cyberbullying Mom

This is so sad. Mom just got a smart fridge, and now it’s cyberbullying her. She definitely doesn’t deserve this—maybe the fridge is just a particularly mean one. Whatever the cause, we really feel for Mom here. This has got to stop.

5 Times Mom Cried Her Fucking Eyes Out While Reading ‘Country Living’ Magazine
Country Living Magazine mostly runs emotionally benign content, but there have been five occasions on which it made Mom sob like there was no tomorrow.
 
1. The time she read an article about how thrift stores don’t always take used blenders
It’s pretty easy to figure out why this one hit Mom so hard—she had just donated a bunch of old kitchen equipment to Goodwill. We tried to reassure her that our blender was in good enough condition that it wouldn’t get thrown out, but she kept wailing, “But how can I know? How can I know?”
 
2. The time Country Living published 6 brownie recipes with a Christmas twist
Mom is a lapsed Catholic, and she has not put mini candy canes on our brownies to celebrate Christmas in recent memory. We’re not sure whether she found the idea so inspiring that it made her cry, or whether reading about brownies that look like Rudolph made her feel spiritually bereft and alienated from the God of her childhood in a way that broke her down emotionally. Ultimately, she did try making brownies with red and green M&Ms that night, and they were pretty good.
 
3. The time she couldn’t decide if she needed a capsule wardrobe
A couple years ago, Mom ripped a capsule wardrobe guide out of Country Living, brought it upstairs to her closet, threw out nine different pairs of jeans, and then started wailing. She was found three hours later, gripping the tear-soaked magazine pages as she tried to decide between keeping a 2017 Outrun Breast Cancer 5k shirt and a 2018 Outrun Breast Cancer 5k shirt. She eventually decided that she would offload both on her sister, and ended up getting them back six months later.
 
4. The time she thought a farmhouse kitchen makeover looked way better before than after
Mom absolutely could not handle the giant sink and bright white cabinetry some family in Ohio put in a kitchen that, according to Mom, had been “gorgeous” before. It’s possible she was jealous, because we saw her the next week holding up white paint chips to our wooden cabinets in a contemplative manner. Either way, she cried over this article for about 30 minutes before Dad came in and put on Dancing With The Stars to cheer her up.
 
5. The time Country Living said faux plants were dated
This was a little out of pocket of Country Living, to be honest. They put fake plants on a list of decor mistakes that instantly age your home, and it hit Mom right in the heart. She cried, put our fake ficus by the door to be thrown out, brought the fake ficus back, and ended up giving the fake ficus an even more prominent place in the living room, possibly to make up for almost getting rid of it. She cried the whole time. Thanks a lot, Country Living!
Beautiful: This Woman Just Slowed Her Pace Down A Little As She Passed An Extremely Old Man On The Sidewalk So He Doesn’t Feel As Slow

Get ready for an inspiring story that is sure to restore your faith in humanity: This woman just slowed her pace down a little as she passed an extremely old man on the sidewalk so he doesn’t feel as slow.

What a beautiful gesture!

Despite the fact that 29-year-old Kim Brailey typically walks at a fairly fast pace, when she came upon an elderly man making his way down the sidewalk, she didn’t just speed around him. Although she was running late for her Barre workout class (an activity that this man most certainly would not be physically capable of), she took great care to avoid humiliating him with her young person speed by gently stepping around him, even adding a polite “good afternoon” as she did, rather than an “excuse me.”

And if that weren’t already enough to convince you that the younger generations truly have manners, Kim even maintained her slower pace until she was at least 10 feet ahead of the man so that he couldn’t see what she was doing, even though he was only looking at the ground right in front of him to avoid falling down.

So incredible! The world would easily be a better place if everyone took Kim’s approach to life! Share if you agree this story made your day. 

A Rare Glimpse Into His Personal Life: Pikachu Just Said ‘Divorced Pikachu’

The internet is currently on fire after one of the most iconic celebrities in the United States just gave the world a peek behind the curtain of his public persona: Pikachu just said “divorced Pikachu.”

Absolutely shocking. This is a rare glimpse into the personal life of one of the most private Pokémon in America.

Pikachu made his earth-shaking revelation yesterday evening while walking the red carpet at a charity auction at the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in Sante Fe to raise money for Charizard, who is recovering from injuries he sustained when his tour van crashed in Michigan last month. While ABC’s George Pennacchio was interviewing Ryan Gosling about his recent film, Project Hail Mary, Pikachu grabbed the mic and said, “Divorced Pikachu” before going inside the museum.

That one fateful statement has immediately set off a wildfire of rumors and speculation that all is not well in Casa De Pikachu.

While Pikachu has become a global megastar from his appearances in Pokémon video games, movies, and television series, up until now the electric-type mouse Pokémon had rarely divulged details about his home life or family. Most of Pikachu’s public statements were either him shouting his own name, or a shortened version of it such as “Pika” or “Pi,” which left gossip bloggers grasping at straws as they tried to find out any juicy details about what went on with him when he went home after a long day of killing other Pokémon.

But by saying, “Divorced Pikachu,” Pikachu is making one thing clear to everyone: His marriage is over.

“We tend to view Pikachu as a larger-than-life celebrity who does nothing but electrocute other Pokémon and sometimes try to murder Mario and Samus, but when he said ‘Divorced Pikachu’ it was a reminder that Pikachu is just like everybody else,” New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote in a recent op-ed. “Even though it might feel like we know Pikachu because we see him on TV, the real Pikachu is a complex thunder mouse with his own personal problems and hidden tragedies.”

While internet sleuths are desperately trying to discover the identity of Pikachu’s now-ex-wife or uncover the details that led to the end of the marriage, Pikachu himself has largely declined to fill in the blanks for the drama-hungry public. When reporters from TMZ approached him for further comment, he attacked them with Electro Web. But even if we don’t know all the sordid details yet, this is still stunning information. Here’s hoping Pikachu is able to pick up the pieces in the wake of his divorce and is able to find love again! We can’t wait until Pikachu says “Remarried Pikachu” someday soon!

United States ends Iran war
United States ends Iran war
United States ends Iran war

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced today that the United States has officially ended the Iran War after what he described as “the biggest, most beautiful military operation in human history" convinced Iranian leaders to immediately abandon their nuclear program, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and gave him “basically unlimited oil — frankly, more oil than anybody has ever seen.”

Standing in front of a banner reading "MAKING PEACE GREAT AGAIN," Trump told reporters the deal was finalized after Iran was left so impressed by recent U.S. strikes that its leadership decided resistance was no longer appropriate.

“Now that we won the war," the president said, beginning his speech with an explanation of what exactly the conflict should be referred to as, “I can now finally say — without a doubt — that we were at war. We were really unsure for a week or two what this thing was, but now that it's over. It was definitely a war.”

The president then described his personal discussions with Iranian leaders.

“They were amazed,” Trump said. “They said, ‘Sir, we give up. Your attacks were so incredible, so precise, so awesome, we have no choice but to give you everything you wanted, and more.’ That’s what they said.”

According to Trump, the agreement requires Iran to permanently dismantle its nuclear weapons program, fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz to global shipping, and send the president a personal gift consisting of “all the oil I could ever want.

“It’s a lot of oil,” Trump said. “A very respectful amount. They insisted. I don't even know what to do with all this oil. I might even start my own oil company. People are saying I should. I'd be very good at it."

The president also claimed Iran’s new leader personally called him early this morning to express gratitude.

“He thanked me,” Trump said. “He said, ‘Mr. President, you are doing such a good job. Really tremendous. You actually won this three weeks ago, but I was so impressed with how committed you were that I let it play out a little longer.’”

Trump added that the Iranian leader told him the country was “totally honored" since "they couldn't have had a better opponent.”

White House officials said the peace breakthrough came after Iran concluded it could not hope to compete with what one aide called “America’s elite military execution and its ability to counter every foreseeable Iranian action.”

In Tehran, Iranian officials offered a somewhat different version of events, though they did confirm they were deeply affected by the scale of recent U.S. action.

“We were astonished,” one official said. “Not just militarily, but emotionally. We felt the only honorable course was to surrender completely and also provide extra concessions as a gesture of appreciation.”

The official added Iran agreed to “a little more than the Americans even asked for” because the president taught them “so much about true leadership,” including “how to make Iran great again.”

Pentagon officials declined to provide details on the agreement but confirmed the administration considers the matter resolved.

At press time, Trump was already suggesting the peace deal qualifies him for at least three Nobels and an additional FIFA Peace Prize.

Americans shocked to learn war in Iran still ‘ongoing’ two weeks after they stopped checking
Americans shocked to learn war in Iran still ‘ongoing’ two weeks after they stopped checking
Americans shocked to learn war in Iran still ‘ongoing’ two weeks after they stopped checking

WASHINGTON — A new national poll released this week found that a majority of Americans were surprised to learn the war with Iran is still happening, roughly two weeks after most people stopped paying attention.

When asked what the United States should do about the conflict and whether they supported deploying ground troops, 72 percent of respondents reportedly replied, “Wait… that’s not over?”

Analysts say the public attention cycle following a national crisis tends to follow a familiar pattern.

On the first Saturday the news broke, millions of Americans were glued to their phones watching dramatic footage of missile strikes and air defenses lighting up the night sky across social media.

“Everyone was sharing the videos,” said polling director Mark Caldwell. “There were maps, military threads, amateur geopolitical experts explaining the Strait of Hormuz. It was a huge weekend.”

On Sunday, Iranian forces responded in kind, and both the conflict and online discourse escalated rapidly. That evening, the national mood shifted to talk shows, group texts, and highly confident predictions about how the conflict would unfold.

Americans shocked to learn war in Iran still ‘ongoing’ two weeks after they stopped checking

They make coffee. They fund real reporting with it.

No paywalls on the important stuff. No vague “support independent journalism” speeches. Just good coffee and investigations that actually go somewhere.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s paying for the news — this one’s straightforward.

Read their first investigation →

“People were saying things like ‘this will be over in a week’ and ‘Iran can’t possibly sustain this,’” Caldwell said. “A lot of very authoritative takes from people who had just learned where Iran was.”

From Monday through Wednesday, the war became the dominant topic in workplaces across the country.

Corporate Teams and Slack channels filled with strategic analysis, with coworkers debating air defense capabilities during lunch and confidently explaining the difference between ballistic and cruise missiles after watching half of a YouTube video.

By Thursday afternoon, however, interest had begun to wane.

“New war videos started drying up, and people began asking if anyone had watched that new Netflix show yet,” Caldwell said.

By Friday, most Americans had quietly moved on to other priorities, including Spring Break, hiking, and learning how pickleball works.

“Pickleball just exploded on Friday,” Caldwell said. “The war never really had a chance after that.”

Defense officials confirmed the conflict has continued uninterrupted during the period in which the public stopped monitoring it.

Missile exchanges, regional mobilizations, and diplomatic maneuvering have persisted daily, though many Americans first learned this when the poll was conducted.

“I thought that ended like two weekends ago,” said one respondent from Ohio. “Didn’t we bomb something and everyone kind of agreed that was enough?”

Another respondent said he assumed the situation had resolved itself because it stopped appearing in his social media feed.

“I figured if it was still happening it would be trending,” he said. “Is that why gas prices are going back up?”

After the pollster briefly mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, the man frowned.

“Wait, what? Shouldn’t the Navy have secured that on day one?” he said. “Like take out the leadership, bomb the nuclear sites, wipe out the missiles, secure the Strait. Those seem like the four most obvious priorities.”

At press time, polling organizations confirmed they are preparing a follow-up survey to determine how Americans feel about the war now that they have briefly remembered it exists.

God too swamped with March Madness prayers to stop Iran ground war
God too swamped with March Madness prayers to stop Iran ground war

HEAVEN — God is unable to keep boots off the ground in Iran because He is currently overwhelmed with prayers to rig March Madness at the faithful’s request, heavenly sources confirmed today.

“The brackets are eating up every bit of bandwidth,” said Saint Joan of Arc (HGS S-3), a longtime Notre Dame fan. “Sure, the Chief hears every plea to stop regional entanglements. But any prayer regarding the Strait of Hormuz is on hold until Father Almighty deals with the thousands of outcries for a buzzer-beating three-pointer.”

According to heavenly officials, NCAA basketball creates a massive surge in prayer volume every spring that drowns out those beseeching peace for all mankind. Such “bracket bottlenecks” curtail divine intervention as the maker of heaven and earth prioritizes point spreads over regional stability in the Middle East.

“HEAVRNET is at 99% capacity,” Saint Gabriel (HGS S-6) said while untangling a mess of fiber-optic incense. “I tried rebooting the Burning Bush, but it can’t compete with all these Syracuse fans bargaining their prayers. And we can’t process Iran peace negotiations while the Big Guy is prioritizing a 12-seed upset.”

Compounding the crisis, a data spike from Chestnut Hill has overwhelmed prayer servers.

Boston College fans flood the queue every year praying for a wildcard,” Joan groaned while swiping through a backlog of Jesuit-coded emails. “Their womp-womp creates a total deadlock in the S-3 shop. It’s blocking every chaplain’s plea to spare the next school from a strike package.”

“Boston alumni scream like they’re all burning at the stake,” Joan added. “But Gabriel says the Big Guy won’t delete their requests. The Eagles stay in the queue while kids wearing maghnaehs stay in the crosshairs.”

Administrative hurdles have only complicated the crisis.

“I just kicked back a bracket petition for missing a HAC-card signature,” Saint Peter (HGS S-1) said while pointing to a mountain of unfiled parchment. “Everybody wants a miracle rebound but nobody wants to use the correct routing header.”

Peter added that “Vir Macho” continues citing Matthew 21:22 to justify honoring nearly every sports-related prayer submitted through official heavenly channels.

“I support the troops,” King David said while heating a Manna-Ready-to-Eat against a sling stone. “But a ground war in Iran looks like a ‘go’ at this point thanks to those NCAA logjams. The Secretary of War should stop praying for an Ivy League miracle and start worrying about the slam-poetry warning order he just wrote.”

Meanwhile, Satan has expressed delight at the prospect of another Persian Incursion.

“It will maximize my return on investment this quarter,” he said while adjusting a spreadsheet. “If enough misguided faithful cry out for bracket-busters, I’ll easily hit my target ratio of one 12-seed upset for every 12,000 fallen boots.”

Hegseth shocked to learn he also has to ‘find out’ after fucking around
Hegseth shocked to learn he also has to ‘find out’ after fucking around

WASHINGTON — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth appeared visibly confused Tuesday after discovering that the phrase “fuck around and find out,” which he frequently uses on television to describe America's enemies, apparently applies to him as well.

The revelation came during a Pentagon briefing as the conflict with Iran entered what officials described as “its second week of not ending in a week.”

“Look, this will be over in seven days,” Hegseth said at the outset of the conflict, speaking with the confidence of a platoon leader who never developed a campaign plan. “You drop some bombs, hit a few Ayatollahs, and the people will just walk into the street and scream ‘you’ve been cancelled’ at the Iranian regime.”

Two weeks later, Iranian missiles are striking targets across the region, oil markets are in chaos, tankers are exploding in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Pentagon has begun using the phrase “dynamic operational environment,” which officials confirmed loosely translates to “we may have fucked around a bit too much and are now finding out.”

One aide said Hegseth was “particularly surprised” Iran did not immediately surrender after several days of strikes.

“The Secretary believed if we just air-war the shit out of them, they would quickly realize the United States puts the ‘dom’ in air dominance,” said Joe Kasper, a special government employee brought in by Hegseth.

Complicating matters has been Hegseth’s repeated description of the conflict as a “spiritual struggle,” which has created awkward moments among U.S. allies.

“The messaging about a holy war has been… difficult,” said one State Department diplomat. “Especially considering many of our partners are, by sheer coincidence, Muslim.”

The State Department has attempted to walk back the remarks as a translation issue.

“Holy war? No,” one official said. “He meant… war of good versus evil. Totally different.”

Diplomats said several allied governments responded with what one official described as “a long, uncomfortable pause, but in Arabic.”

The meeting reportedly ended with U.S. officials pleading with Gulf partners not to expel American forces.

Strait of Hormuz remains open if you aren’t a bitch
Strait of Hormuz remains open if you aren’t a bitch

IRAN — As the War in Iran enters its second month, international markets are already feeling the impact of shipments either delayed or altogether prevented from coming through the Strait of Hormuz. But American defense officials stress that the Strait is currently open and will remain open if you aren’t a bitch.

“Iranian mines and missile attacks are a real threat if you’re a pussy,” said U.S. Ambassador to the Middle East Jake Paul. “However, for those ships who are about that life, the Strait remains navigable.”

The Strait of Hormuz — the only maritime passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean — remains one of the world’s most critical chokepoints for global energy supply.

Shortly after the war began, Iran seeded the waterway with mines, effectively halting traffic for what Pentagon officials described as “captains with no fucking balls."

“Let me be clear: we did not underestimate Iran,” said Secretary of Warmaxxing Pete Hegseth. “We underestimated the number of tankers that would get sand in their vaginas over getting blown up and sunk.”

International partners have expressed concern over the Pentagon’s apparent lack of a coherent plan to restore normal shipping operations.

“We asked them what the plan was to deal with the mines,” said French Foreign Minister Pierre LePierre. “They told us to 'stop talking about it and to start being about it' with a meme about how everyone is a gangsta until it's time to do gangsta shit.”

The White House defended the approach, saying it is already producing results with ships beginning to show themselves as real ones by attempting to transit the waterway.

“On Tuesday, multiple oil tankers who have that dog in them crossed the Strait,” said Mike Lindell, recently appointed Chief of American Defense Strategy in Iran. “We expect this will lead to additional craft nutting up to reopen this vital supply line.”

Regional experts say ships that have successfully crossed the Strait typically notify Iran in advance that “today is not the day" and that they are not the one. Meanwhile, they advised any craft attacked while passing through the Strait that they should try being a fucking man for once in their goddamned life.

Downsizing parent bringing you anything charity shops won’t take

A MOTHER moving to a smaller house is offloading tons of useless shite on her adult children rather than take it to the tip. 

Helen Archer, aged 62, no longer wants a broken Dyson, a 1970s fondue set or a series of children’s books by Rolf Harris but believes it would be a terrible shame to throw them away.

She explained: “Since my husband and I decided to trade a home with dangerously spare bedrooms to a bungalow the kids could never move back to, we’ve had to make some hard choices.

“We can’t keep everything. So there are four piles: keep, eBay stroke Vinted, Cancer Research and crap to palm off on the kids. They’ll treasure this VHS of Deep Heat ‘89, this QVC Foot Spa, and this fold-down Z-bed. It’s the original one from the 1970s.”

Son Luke said: “She’s sneaky about it. She’ll say ‘Do you want your Panini football albums?’ knowing they’re of genuine sentimental value, then drop them off with nine metres of garden hose, a ridge tent and a manky old cat carrier. I don’t even have a cat.

“I’m down the tip weekly then come home to Looney Tunes Monopoly, a fan heater, a folder of school certificates, a leather pouffe and a box of Penthouse magazines I thought she’d thrown away when they were confiscated in 1997.

“The worst thing is their new bungalow is still five times bigger than my flat. Stoked about the porn though.”

Essex residents worried about foreign criminals coming over and undercutting them

ESSEX’S entrepreneurs has admitted they are concerned about asylum seekers because criminal migrants could encroach on their own well-established illegal activities. 

Demonstrators stressed their opposition to migrant hotels was nothing to do with racism and was solely motivated with the need to preserve their customer base.

Wayne Hayes of Basildon said: “I’ve heard these Afghans are handy with a baseball bat. Where would that leave my kneecapping business that’s been going for generations?

“Opening new narcotic pipelines could have devastating consequences for family businesses of grafting bastards who’ve spent years building relationships with suppliers, customers and bent coppers.

“Politicians claim that resentment towards foreigners stems from economic dislocation and feelings of insecurity. Too fucking right when there’s an Albanian working my patch.

“When you’re a craftsman running an artisanal pharmaceutical distribution network out of a Colchester storage unit, you can’t compete with the multinationals. What happened to buying British, even if it is 60 per cent drywall by weight?”

He added: “They’re welcome to come here and pursue a life of low-level criminality. But we need quotas to make sure defrauding the old and catalytic converter theft remains domestic or we’ll lose those skills.”

‘My Creme Egg did not bear the likeness of Christ’: six Easter culture war arguments

UP for a scrap with the lefties, and it’s Easter? Willing to leverage chocolate eggs being in shops into a solid reason for an outburst of anti-Muslim prejudice? Here’s how: 

Jesus isn’t on your Creme Egg

Can you believe it? Back in the 90s, you’re pretty sure, each and every egg bore a chocolate bas-relief of the Christian messiah. But you fastidiously licked out all the fondant and he’s not even on the inside. Nor has he spontaneously appeared on any which used to happen all the time back when we didn’t have mosques.

Rabbits are anti-British

Kids may like cute creatures like chicks and bunnies, but where’s the Yorkie bulldog egg? If M&S can make Sunny the Sloth out of chocolate, why not Steve the Spitfire? Rabbits are left-wing because they multiply like crazy, just like immigrants. And yet we encourage children to make felt cards bearing these fluffy freeloaders. This country.

Easter isn’t mentioned enough

The horror! One business has dared to include the words “spring” and “celebrations” in its marketing as well as Easter. Synonyms, or anti-white racism? Everything should have Easter aggressively emblazoned on it in Comic Sans, and heavens forbid you see the word ‘bad’ written anywhere on this special Friday.

The eggs aren’t round anymore

Every child knows that Easter eggs represent the boulder Jesus – who was hench – rolled away from his tomb. That’s not bullshit made up by a vicar, that’s in the actual Bible. Now? Weird shapes, not to disguise shrinkflation, but because they’re non-representative artwork such as recommended by the Prophet Mohammed.

Supermarkets stay open

It’s a true sign of decay in society that while the big Tesco is closed on Easter Sunday, the little one is still allowed to remain open. How can people be expected to nobly contemplate faith, war films, and the rest of our British values when they still have the ability to pop out and buy a meal deal?

Something to do with the National Trust

Egg hunt not suitably reverent? If they are giving out chocolate to kids that’ll rot their teeth, but plastic or wooden ones? Against tradition and nanny-state nonsense. And they should be hunting the eggs with spears, like the Crusaders did. See? There’s always something to have a bash at if you try hard enough.

Judge rules Trump only mature enough for White House waterpark
Man wearing Ramones T-shirt asked if he knows there are newer bands

A MAN wearing a Ramones T-shirt in 2026 has been asked if he is aware there is more recent music.

36-year-old Tom Logan has been quizzed over whether his Ramones T-shirt, worn in honour of a band who broke up 30 years ago, is because he is oblivious to the endless amount of quality music which has been released since

Curious passerby Martin Bishop said: “I get it. Blitzkreig Bop and I Don’t Wanna Be Sedated are bangers. But they’re also less than five minutes long in total and 50 years old.

“You can’t keep living in an antiquated New York music scene. You’d think it was weird if someone in 1976 refused to move past their Fats Waller records from the Roaring Twenties. This is the same.

“Hasn’t he got bored of them? I mean, they’re a bit samey. Even the most dedicated fan must admit they’re not really a band into artistic growth.

“I’m concerned for him. Either he’s been cut off from the world for the five decades or he’s wilfully tuned out great new acts like Billie Eilish and Tyler, the Creator. Both explanations are pretty sad.”

Logan said: “What? There’s been music since the Ramones? F**k. I thought Oasis was just a sportswear brand.”

Donald Trump just threw his toys out of the pram over the dire Strait(s) he finds himself in over Iran

Having started a war with Iran he can’t win, and having been infuriated by western countries refusing to join in (see first part of this sentence) Donald Trump is now furiously ejecting his toys from the pram. So much so that he’s basically going to leave the whole mess behind for someone else to clean […]
