I'm getting so sick of video titles on youtube. Stuff like:
"Everything you knew about (some subject) IS WRONG."
Fuck that hyperbolic bullshit.

Thank you for the link! The BBC report there that: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned the action as "disgraceful", saying it was an "act of vandalism".
I accept that counter terror police have been reported by other reporters to be investigating the matter. Without understanding all the information they have I don't think it's straightforward to decide whether or not such a thing is appropriate. Policing people is very hard to do well. Being policed is very hard to do well. If I were a gambler, I'd wager they're wasting their time, but I'm not, so I shall accept that only the counter terror police really know if it's appropriate or not.
Frankly, I'm not absolutely sure that the PM is the one blowing this out of proportion here. Always happy to be corrected, and of course this is with the caveat that if it were my aeroplanes being damaged, I'd have kept my bloody mouth shut 1). out of sheer embarrassment, and 2). because patrolling all the airfields all the time, even without progressive defence spending reviews, is fecking hard, and I wouldn't want my adversaries to have a weakness highlighted for them. I know, I'm setting myself up to be on the receiving end of a lot of "five-miler of death" jokes here. But anyway, clearly that isn't the route HMG are taking, so what do I know?
I will venture that a lot of the people talking about this are very excited to be talking about it. What to make of that is left as an exercise for the reader.
The actual sport is a very minor part of cricket. It's really about the commentary and moments like this:

PSA:
It is by writing over the top headlines like the one below that you reveal yourself to be morons!
Listen, I do not tolerate this behavior on the right. I don't tolerate it on the left, either.
I've watched the video below. I've learned NOTHING NEW. Specifically, it contains no evidence of:
* Trump being stunned.
* Trump being furious.
* Trump panicking.
* Or that what happened in the Senate is a "bombshell."
I'd love it if he were stunned, furious, or panicking, but at most I'm thinking he is merely annoyed.
Occupy Democrats won the distinction of being banned from recommendation over their stupid hyperbole.
If you want to learn stuff, your time is better spent watching LegalEagle.
When the pain becomes too much, I expect #Trump to announce special economic zones in the #US which will be free of #tariffs. Just for factories and international #trade. Garnished with #hyperbole.
He will keep #taxing the poor and #MiddleClass, but accommodations will be made for large #investors.
So says my crystal ball.
25% of Covent Garden is now owned by a Norwegian Fund (NBIM).
“… Not since the Vikings has Norway embarked on quite the scale of U.K. invasion going on across London’s West End right now. Wielding the kind of thunderous financial power that would make even Thor feel inadequate …”

@Xandru @oerum It's #satire, #parody, #ridicule, #sarcasm, #hyperbole and there are online image sharpeners that one can use. And even when I pass this image through one, it comes back the same. However, if you do it, you will see a crystal clear copy. #GripeToMastodon
This guy is getting high on his own supply! It’s one thing to operate self-driving on private enclosed factory roads.

An 'AI-emulation' of Anne Frank made for use in schools.
Who the fuck thought this is appropriate?
Who in the everloving fuck coded this? Who approved it?
Who didn't stop them?

I'm not one quick to anger, but I'm fuming 😤🤬🤬🤬
A quotation from Peters, Ellis:
«
“God does indeed forbid,” said Radulfus dryly, “that we should make more of our virtues or our failings than is due. More than your due you shall not have of, neither praise nor blame.”

Three edits, two revisions, one final hyperbole. FYI: The speaker is a woman.

"It has to do with dragons. Of course it's bad. I knew eventually they'd take my armistice with the Golden Stag the wrong way.

"It has to do with dragons. Of course it's bad. I knew eventually they'd take my armistice with the Golden Stag the wrong way. My one day worry has returned home to roost.

I do like #beer but I find it a bit weird to describe a drug that in general dulls oneself as "near religious"
It's not brewed from holy water
Huh. My old neighbourhood. Do you know what publication the article appeared in?
From what I've read about Kowloon Walled City, those buildings at Main & Danforth bear almost no resemblance
Just got a push notification on my phone with the text "best news ever”.
That news?

@AndyScott I use GNU #hyperbole, a package that can create links in any file buffer opened in #emacs. in recent releases the author of that package has started experimenting with note taking and published HyWiki which features adding wiki links to org-mode, and HyNote which will be a note taking system independent of markup format.
Graeme Bayless' amazing career in games spans 4 decades giving him amazing insight and perspective!
