I'm on the train to work and talking on WhatsApp to a  friend

Them : I'm at work now. But waiting for my mac to update before I can start. New Sierra thing.

... Now I can't help but think in this case "huh? You're playing games at work?"

Damn you apple. Damn you.

Sierra is the name of the last OS X release, updated recently.

One of the headlines in Danish news is that a song about Theresa May is banned from BBC but 4246 people has signed an online petition to make them play it anyway.

What a time to be alive.

Yeah, it's a protest song called "Liar liar" that is topping sales charts but can't get any airtime because of political impartiality guidelines for the radio stations, or something like that.

It's quite catchy too.

'She's a liar, liar': anti-Theresa May song heads to top of charts

Remix by anti-austerity band Captain Ska mocking May's claims of 'strong and stable leadership' tops Amazon UK downloads

A protest song that repeatedly accuses Theresa May of lying and mocks her claims for strong and stable leadership is heading to the top of the charts, days after it was released and a week before the general election.

Liar Liar was released last Friday as a remix of a reggae song by Captain Ska, a six-piece anti-austerity band. It already tops Amazon's listing for songs downloaded in Britain and the iTunes UK chart, despite receiving no airplay from radio stations because of impartiality guidelines.

Until the election on 8 June, all proceeds from downloads will go to food banks and the People's Assembly anti-austerity campaign.

An accompanying video features the prime minister's U-turns on article 50, the "dementia tax" and her calling a snap election, and has been viewed more than a million times.

It's awesome but if they started doing that at every crossing people would just start ignoring breaking noises and be totally run over.

It's the concert tee from that Slayer triple bill, when Testament opened for a Very Special Episode of Blossom.

[Ed Anger]

Whoa.

Whoa.

You should get that as a ringtone.

And I'm sure he appreciated every moment of it, and didn't even consider it gay.

I also ate Big Boy...near the dumpster.

Apparently there's a genre called trap music now.
It's why every single pop star sounds exactly the same with the same little Latin boop boop.
