People Are Just Realising Stuart Little Isn’t A Mouse, And I Need To Lie Down

Posted on 10/12/2025 by Boris Clair

There are some things I thought I could take for granted. I always assumed paprika came from some spicy variety of pepper, but while traditional ones can contain varying degrees of heat, many large manufacturers use a type of sweet bell pepper instead.

I’d believed “wi-fi” stood for something, like “wifeless fidelity,” too. Nope: its name “doesn’t stand for anything. It is not an acronym. There is no meaning”.

But even I, a person who could fairly be described as “professionally bemused,” was uniquely surprised to learn that Stuart Little is not actually a mouse.

And looking at the responses to an X post from film critic and editor of Slash Film, Chris Evangelista, it seems I’m not alone.

I’ve just now learned that in the STUART LITTLE book, Stuart is not actually a mouse but a human boy who looks like a mouse, and I don’t know how to process this pic.twitter.com/W2mGvwWula

— Chris Evangelista (@cevangelista413) December 8, 2025

In the books, Stuart Little is a human

The film Stuart Little is based on the book Stuart Little by EB White (also the author of Charlotte’s Web).

And I sincerely regret to inform you that the first chapter of that cursed tome novel, “In The Drain,” begins in this haunting manner:

“When Mrs Frederick C. Little’s second son arrived, everybody noticed that he was not much bigger than a mouse. The truth of the matter was, the baby looked very much like a mouse in every way. He was only about two inches high; and he had a mouse’s sharp nose, a mouse’s tail, a mouse’s whiskers, and the pleasant, shy manner of a mouse. Before he was many days old he was not only looking like a mouse but acting like one, too – wearing a grey hat and carrying a small cane. Mr and Mrs Little named him Stuart, and Mr Little made him a tiny bed out of four clothespins and a cigarette box.

So, while publisher Harper Collins markets the children’s book as a “classic novel about a small mouse… born to a family of humans,” the perhaps less invested Britannica is more alive to its body horror realities.

It is, they point out, about a “two-inch-tall boy who resembles a mouse”.

Which begs the question, A24 Stuart Little remake when?

People had… thoughts

In response to the recent X post, one netizen called the news “disturbing”.

Another pointed to the historical myth of sooterkins. These were believed to be the rat-like afterbirth of some Dutch women (great! Normal!).

But it is not the first time innocent internet users have become aware of the fact.

A post shared to Reddit’s r/todayilearned pointed out the “mouse”’s true species in 2018.

“He also tries to get frisky/date a girl who is tiny like him and looks like a human,” wrote u/Atoning_Unifex.

Yup, that’d be Harriet Ames, who does not look like a mouse. Stuart got the hots for her after hearing that she was a little “shorter” than him, and after a shopkeeper “gave [him] a most favourable report of [her] character and appearance”.

They did not work out. But notably, Stuart Little began a letter to her by saying, “I am a young person of modest proportions” (italics mine).

All in all, I’m with u/MattheJ1: “If I were Mr Little, I’d be asking some questions”.

Elon Musk Corrected By X’s Community Notes Over His Latest Attempt To Smear UK MPs

Posted on 08/01/2025 by Boris Clair

Tech billionaire and X CEO Elon Musk has been called out on his own platform for spreading misinformation about UK MPs and the grooming gangs scandal.

The world’s richest man has been repeatedly attacking the Labour government since they won the election. In recent weeks, he has started accusing ministers of inaction over gang rape and child abuse.

He also called for both Keir Starmer and his safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to go to jail – sparking an angry response from both.

Overnight, Musk turned to cross-party criticism and posted an edited image, showing a list of parliamentarians – MPs and peers from multiple parties – along with the caption: “Here is a list of MP’s [sic] who voted against deporting foreign rapists. They all need removing.”

Musk added: “Remember these names next election.”

Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey’s name was also circled in red.

But some of those listed are no longer MPs. And, as X users pointed out themselves, the letter is actually from February 2020 and has nothing to do with what Musk claimed.

The attached community note read: “This is a letter urging the government to not deport 50 victims of the Windrush Scandal back to Jamaica.

“It was not a vote, and it had nothing to do with foreign rapists.”

The note added a link to the letter, led by MP Nadia Whittome, on Labour’s website, proving Musk’s image is misleading.

Embarrassingly, Musk promoted the community notes feature as his flagship policy when he took over the platform formerly known as Twitter in 2022.

However, when he was fact-checked in December 2023 on the platform over the detention of a US YouTuber in Ukraine, he claimed he was “gamed by state actors”.

The red circling of Davey’s name in this latest image follows the Lib Dem’s post on X criticising Musk earlier this week.

Davey wrote: “People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain.

“It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.”

Musk, who has posted more than 100 times about grooming gangs in the last week, replied: “What exactly do I fail to understand about your failure to stop the mass rape of little girls in Britain, you sniveling [sic] cretin?”

Davey is not the only person to slap down Musk over his controversial comments.

The prime minister told journalists the tech mogul had “crossed a line” with his online attacks, while Phillips said she was worried about her safety as a result.

Tory Leadership Hopeful Kemi Badenoch Declares She Is A ‘Huge Fan’ Of Elon Musk

Posted on 26/09/2024 by Boris Clair

Kemi Badenoch has claimed she is a “huge fan” of the world’s richest man, the owner of X Elon Musk, in a new interview.

The Tory leadership hopeful and shadow housing secretary revealed she supports the controversial figure because of his advocacy of freedom of speech.

Speaking to The Spectator, she said: “I think Elon Musk has been a fantastic thing for freedom of speech.

“I will hold my hand up and say, I’m a huge fan of Elon Musk.

“I look at Twitter before he took over and after: there is a lot more free speech.

“Yes, there are many, many more things that I see on X, as he calls it, that I don’t like.

“But I also know that views are not suppressed the way that they were, that there was a cultural establishment – that was very left – that controlled quite a lot of discourse on that platform.”

Musk has turned X (formerly Twitter) upside down since his takeover almost two years ago.

The billionaire, who is a vocal Donald Trump supporter, reinstated several previously banned accounts including that of the former US president, and introducing a subscription service to the platform.

More recently, he has repeated baseless conspiracy theories that there is a “two-tier” policing system in the UK, suggesting the far-right rioters seen in August ended up with a harsher punishment compared to previous pro-Palestine demonstrators.

Musk was also slapped down by No.10 when he claimed “civil war is inevitable” in the UK. Downing Street said: “There’s no justification for comments like that.”

Badenoch, who is currently competing against frontrunner Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly and Tom Tugendhat for the title of Tory leader, was the only leadership hopeful to announce support for Musk in her interview with the Spectator.

Jenrick said he was “not going to be booking a tête-à-tête with Elon Musk any time soon”, while Cleverly said you have to be “very, very careful about curtailing voices that you disagree with”.

Tugendhat appeared to question how Musk has handled X, saying: “If you are running a platform that is entirely dominated by anonymous bots, is that freedom of speech – or just propaganda?

“If you are allowed to say whatever you like but you put your name to it, that’s freedom of speech. And it should be defended, absolutely.”

Rishi Sunak Corrected By Community Notes On X 25 Times, Report Finds

Posted on 24/03/2024 by Boris Clair

Rishi Sunak has been publicly corrected on 25 different occasions for his misleading posts on social media, according to a new report.

The research, conducted by pro-EU campaign group Best for Britain and first reported by The Independent, also found that the Conservative Party is almost five times more likely to be corrected than Labour.

Best for Britain came to that conclusion by comparing the number of community notes added to posts on X (formerly Twitter) from the prime minister, cabinet ministers and the official Conservative account to their opposition counterparts.

What are community notes?

Community notes are a feature in the social media platform which were added in January 2023 to allow other X users to add context or clarifications to posts.

Users who sign up to be “contributors” can add notes to posts offering different points of view. If enough of these notes are rated as helpful by fellow contributors, it will appear below the post in question as a community note.

According to X, “community notes aim to create a better informed world by empowering people on X to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading posts”.

How many times have the Tories and Labour been corrected in this way?

Best for Britain found 73 community notes attached to government accounts in total, compared to 15 from official opposition accounts.

Twenty-six of those posts were attached to the Conservative Party’s official account, and 25 were from the PM who vowed at the start of his premiership to lead with “integrity, professionalism and accountability”.

In the first week of January, Sunak was rebuked three times for posting misleading claims about clearing the asylum backlog, suggesting tax was cut, and claiming responsibility for halving inflation.

Meanwhile, Labour leader Keir Starmer has accrued four community notes in the same period while the Labour account has seven.

David Lammy was the only shadow minister to receive more community notes than his counterpart, David Cameron – Lammy has two, while the foreign secretary has none.

The group’s CEO Naomi Smith said the findings “shouldn’t be taken lightly, especially in an election year where lack of trust can feed dangerous populism”.

“A government that the public can’t trust to act with integrity and transparency – both essential for liberal democracy – is a government that shouldn’t be in power,” Smith continued. “We need a general election and our polling shows that the public want it now.”

Swifties React To Elon Musk Warning Taylor Swift Of ‘Popularity Decline’

Posted on 11/12/2023 by Boris Clair

Fans of Taylor Swift ― singer/songwriter, pop megastar and Time magazine’s 2023 Person of the Year ― are reminding Elon Musk that there are a few key differences between Swift and himself.

Last week, Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla, congratulated Swift on being named Person of the Year, before offering a word of caution.

“Some risk of popularity decline after this award,” Musk posted on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. “I speak from experience lol.”

Some risk of popularity decline after this award. I speak from experience lol.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 7, 2023

Musk was named Time’s Person of the Year in 2021. Since then, he has bought Twitter and renamed it X, engaged with antisemitic material on the site and apologized for doing so. He has reportedly ordered his Tesla and SpaceX employees working remotely to return to the office or lose their jobs.

Musk recently urged businesses to “go fuck” themselves if they stopped advertising on X because of his behaviour. Hate speech on X has soared since Musk’s acquisition, and advertising has plummeted. This week, Musk restored the account of banned user Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist perhaps best known for harassing the parents of dead children.

X users were happy to point out some of the contrasts between Musk and Swift.

“Elon Musk try not to make everything about himself challenge,” one user posted.

Twitter Users Raise A Stink After Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Biden An ‘Old Fart’

Posted on 24/09/2023 by Boris Clair

Republcian Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called Joe Biden an “old fart”, but the insult whiffed with many social media users.

On Friday, the president announced the creation of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the White House and later tweeted that “it’s time to again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

He added: “If members of Congress refuse to act, then we need to elect new members of Congress who will act.”

It’s time to again ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

And let me be very clear:

If members of Congress refuse to act, then we need to elect new members of Congress who will act.

— President Biden (@POTUS) September 22, 2023

That post apparently had Greene seeing red and she responded by tweeting back, “Whatever you old fart. We are electing a new President. Turning 45 into 47.”

Greene may have thought the “old fart” comment was a truth bomb, but many users of X, formerly known as Twitter, raised a stink, especially since she’s been griping recently about the lack of “society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions.”

As a result, she was thoroughly mocked.

Folks…this is a sitting member of Congress. @GOP will make a fuss about dress code but allow this shit to go on…hell, even encourage it.

This is despicable and childish.

This poor excuse for a human needs to be removed from office or censured at a minimum. https://t.co/Wk49cQRpnX

— Randy Brockway (@RandyBrockway) September 22, 2023

Greene has been harping on civility for everyone else but her for a while now.

On Monday, after she criticised Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman for wearing a hoodie on the Senate floor, he pointed out that there are other forms of decorum. He reminded her of when she displayed nude images of Hunter Biden during a House hearing.

Back in May, Greene found out how much her Democratic colleagues respect her desire for decorum when they raucously laughed at her after she told them, “Members are reminded to abide by decorum of the House,” she said, only to spark raucous laughter.

Rishi Sunak’s Pivot On Green Policies Has Created A Storm Of Disbelief Online

Posted on 21/09/2023 by Boris Clair

Rishi Sunak’s sudden U-turn on the UK’s climate pledges has caused deep alarm on social media – not least because of the policies he said he plans to “stop”.

The prime minister called a last-minute conference on Wednesday afternoon – just after parliament went on recess – to announce he was pivoting to a more “pragmatic, proportionate and realistic” approach to net zero by 2050.

He promised: “We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.

“We will still meet our international commitments and hit net zero by 2050.”

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he listed five policies which he planned to “stop”: taxes on eating meat, new taxes to discourage flying, sorting your rubbish into seven different bins, compulsory car sharing and expensive insulation upgrades.

He did also announce five new policies which he would be pushing for – including lifting the ban on onshore wind and new carbon capture storage – but that did not get as much engagement as his first post.

That’s probably because the policies he plans on stopping are not well-known government strategies.

We will never impose unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people.

We will still meet our international commitments and hit Net Zero by 2050. pic.twitter.com/XjXQzGVaCN

— Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) September 20, 2023

Readers even added a community note to the post, which read: “Taxes on meat and flying had already been repeatedly ruled out by the government.

“There is no proposal to require people to have seven bins, or for ‘compulsory’ car sharing.

“The announced changes on insulation only stand to benefit private landlords.”

So, you can imagine the kind of reactions that followed across X…

They were never policies you lying prick

— gabyhinsliff (@gabyhinsliff) September 20, 2023

So just to recap, Rishi Sunak’s premiership is going so well that he felt forced to completely relaunch it, by scrapping a load of policies that don’t exist and by burning the planet a little bit more quickly. The clock is ticking. Bin Day is coming.

12 Actually Funny Reactions About A-Level Results Day

Posted on 17/08/2023 by Boris Clair

A-level results day has arrived – and, as usual, the internet is full of people either sharing their own accomplishments or sending lengthy commiserations to those who may not have secured the grades they wanted.

Plenty of people share their own stories about receiving their grades as headlines up and down the country reveal the proportion of A or A* grades has fallen from 44.8% at the pandemic peak to 27.2% this year.

That’s hardly a surprise though, as the government had been planning to bring grades back to pre-pandemic levels.

Still, X (formerly known as Twitter) is currently flooded with users (including celebrities) revealing the minimal impact their A-level results had on their own successful lives.

And while it is definitely an important day for those who receive their results, the occasion tends to turn into a competition online.

Jeremy Clarkson, for instance, rolled out his annual tweet reminding everyone that he got a C and 2Us at A-level – and yet he has “loads of friends and a Bentley” and “my own brewery”.

Meanwhile education secretary Gilligan Keegan was also criticised for suggesting employers won’t ask about students’ A-level grades within 10 years of their graduation.

Labour’s shadow education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said she was being “rude and dismissive” and “talking down England’s young people”.

So if you’re fed up of seeing this endless dialogue about A-levels and just how much they matter, here are 12 actually funny tweets (or X reactions) to lift your mood:

Don’t worry if your results aren’t what you wanted. I got ABBA, and I still work all night and work all day to pay the bills I have to pay.

Remember kids, your future prosperity does not need to be determined by your A level results. You could just marry a billionaire’s daughter like I did.#alevels2023

If you didn’t get the A-level results you wanted, remember that we’re only a few years away from the collapse of organised human life

Good luck to all A Level students today trying to dodge photographers catching them mid-jump with their results in the air.

Your annual reminder that A level students are almost certainly not reading your humblebrag results tweets

I always enjoys those comments on A level day, from people who say ‘Don’t worry if you don’t get the results you hoped for. I failed all my exams and now I’m President of Tunisia and own my own hovercraft!’

My life has demonstrated that A-Level results are no barrier to mediocrity.

‘Nothing Compares’: Tributes Paid To Sinead O’Connor After Death At 56

Posted on 27/07/2023 by Boris Clair

After Sinead O’Connor’s death at the age of 56 was announced on Wednesday, her colleagues, friends and fans took to social media to offer their tributes.

Many of those honouring the Irish singer, who famously covered Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U and also went by Shuhada Sadaqat in recent years, were well-known names from show business.

Leo Varadkar, Ireland’s prime minister, similarly paid his respects to O’Connor, saying that “her talent was unmatched and beyond compare.”

Although many of the celebrity tributes appeared on Twitter (aka X), Outlander star Caitriona Balfe honoured the singer with an Instagram post.
