Presumably the wind is more likely to blow eastward in Paris, resulting in polluting industries (and working-class accommodation) being placed to the east, while the well-off had the west, and the pattern has replicated itself, outliving deindustrialisation. (There is a similar distribution of wealth in London, which is not far away as far as meteorology goes.)

It’s tempting to wish that the Iranians succeeded in assassinating him, though we know that if they did, he’d be instantly beatified into a global centrist Charlie Kirk: a statesman of peace and liberalism ruthlessly murdered by evil terrorist fanatics. There’d be statues of him alongside Mandela and Gandhi, Berlin would rename one of its central squares to Netanjahuplatz, and the next year’s Oscars would be swept by the biopic Bibi.

“Our god has balls”

Warhammer 40K meets Weekend At Bernie’s.

Some day, someone will teach a goose to play the bagpipes.

Safety ads in the 70s went hard. Nobody worried that kids might be traumatised, and some probably were

If you ever see a dog performing tricks, you know he was a very gay dude in his previous life

Capybaras, hands down.

Don’t love sex too much though or you might become a poor dog or cockroach in your next life.
