Oh man, you missed it.
AP even had an article last night with multiple screenshots of different tweets/skeets about JD Vance having sex with a couch saying that they had fact-checked this and he did NOT have sex with a couch... sadly they have now pulled the article.

He drives a Renault but longs to own a fast car He says his preference would be a Jaguar, The original XJR-9 that won le mans No correlation with what's in his pants I don't know why he thinks he needs a fast car.
He polishes his Porsche every which way Washes it and waxes it, rubs it every day Looks at it with pride But won't take it for a ride He doesn't want to put his fast car on display

Google it. It's apparently false, but people talking about how it's false is still quite funny.

BBC Goodfood: I'm looking for the ratio for simple sugar syrup.
helpful suggestion from the site:
"Our Most Popular Alternative --> Sugar-free banana bread"
I would love to see the backend of that algorithm.

Drove to the other shopping centre and library today. The police riot van was pulled up outside, and 3 huge blokes in their black uniforms were walking into the store. I was a bit concerned, but figured there was no one around outside and they were walking, not running.
Parked my car, walked into the centre to head to the library and saw all 3 cops queued up at my banh mi place. I've long considered it the best one in Sydney, good to see the cops agree!

Have now seen discussion that it was either in the first edition or ARC editions of the book, and taken out in later versions. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Anyway, it's good to know the US now have their own version of 'ScoMo shitting his pants at the Engadine Maccas' story.

And I keep on sniggering thinking that if Trump does win, and Vance gets to met various foreign dignitaries, you just know Macron will be taking the piss about this.

I did a quick feedback collection from my class, with 3 colours of post it notes. One category was, "we want less of X" and nearly half asked for the final assessments to be easier.
um. nope.

I've been giggling about that for days, keep on meaning to come and post whenever I see another really good comback.
The 'because we are girt by sea' is still my favourite.

Another Olympics giggle about the Aussie shooter who said in an interview he was fed up with being taken from press conference to press conference and asked 'the same generic crap', and that all he wanted to do was catch up with team mates, friends and family and have a beer.

Yes - mainly because of the puzzlement it would induce! And I'm with the guy about the press conferences, I'm sure the athletes want to relax and/or do their prep work.

He was also going on about the urine test, and in a sign Clipper and I have been married too long we both said at the same time - wouldn't it be better to test the horse for an equestrian event!

From one of the satirical journos who does some stuff for the Chaser:
Context for Americans who are confused when Aussies say ‘Girt by Sea’ is how we are good at swimming; Girt is a swimming coach who lives near the beach
Great woman, her swim school is one of the best parts of growing up in Aus

Rohrschach water blot test:
Cleaning up the kitchen, an irregular large water blot looked just like Africa Diagnosis: severe travel bug and itchy feet. Who'd'a thunk it?

OK I have to stop... some poor cult member asked how to say "the opening ceremony was a pile of shit" in French and I helpfully said
Ce n’est pas de ta faute si tu es aussi ignorant.
(hmmm, that might not be great français but never mind.)

Q - that reminds me of something I heard - a man asked an Asian tattoo artist to ink some characters on his arm, and they did so. Apparently the characters read: "this unfortunate foreigner is very unattractive".

Doing work on a remote PC from my Mac laptop, which means that every time I key "command+S" to save something, I get this Windows "Suggested" thing that says "WHAT IS A MEERKAT" with these photos of meerkats, and since I can't break myself of the habit of using that keyboard shortcut, it's happened about 30 times so far It’s been a month since I last used this and so I’d forgotten all about this issue… so now whenever I try to save something, the computer asks me if I know what a pika is. YES MICROSOFT I DO

Christian Nutjobs have moved on to fretting about the "golden calf" in the Olympic opening ceremony. I could not think of any calf in the ceremony at all... so I checked the images. And yes, there is a bull's head in the background, kinda behind the choir... www.eutouring.com/images_paris_statues_653.htmlIt's a statue in a fountain that's been there since 1937. That's very forward planning of Paris to be annoying Christians in 2024.
