If Scotland qualify they should refuse to play due to the fascism of the USA. Good political statement, and we don't need to see Scotland play football on the world stage. Everybody wins.

Restaurant playing rinky-dink dinner jazz version of Material Girl and it's just not. This woman probably has a finer voice but Madge sounds hard and tinny on this for a reason

PSA for Jean Rhys fans! If you’re in London, get yourself along to the POSTURES: JEAN RHYS IN THE MODERN WORLD exhibition at the Michael Werner Gallery in Mayfair, which includes various artworks in conversation with Rhys’ books. I especially loved these pieces by Celia Paul & Gwen John. 💙📚

Making me homesick

Some people seem to avoid sharing lifts now, or passing people in corridors. Any interaction with strangers

Sofonisba Anguissola, buried in a small church as somebody's wife

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Reading @londoncentric.media and reflecting on how everything wrong with Britain can be seen through Deliveroo: - much of the economy is fraudulent - people don’t go outside - workers are underpaid and insecure - the immigration system is broken - society is being eroded by Big Tech

It’s the Portland way.

There were only 3 pairs of leather trousers in the UK in 1986. Paul Young is wearing the same ones Julian Cope was a few minutes earlier. #totp

Driver shouted watch it sister at an ancient nun. She gave him a mamma mia. Has to be the most Italian thing I'll see today, unless the Pope turns up eating a pizza

I’m sure Robert Jenrick must be concerned to discover that his latest video is being amplified by dubious pro Russian propaganda accounts. Perhaps even more so to learn they think he’s a mere journalist.

Elderly Italian man asked me what street we were on, I had a guess. He yelled no! and walked off. Think he was trying to 'settle an argument' with his wife

We unfortunately welcomed Maj-Gen Duffelok to HK when this happened with the ok

Almost immediately finding out one of the Bad Dr Who Cosplay Young Tories whose clothes we were making fun of wants to legalise sisterfucking is like a really quick Milkshake Duck if instead of drinking milkshake, the duck had been filmed masturbating into a neighbour's wheelie bin

The chap on the left once defended marriage between siblings in a live interview on GB News. By all accounts it was too much even for GB News viewers.

There’s going to be a novel of this name published within a year, isn’t there?

Delivery riders are having to scan their faces 8+ times a day to keep working.

RIP Haight-Ashbury fixture Mr. Brilliant, he used to stand on boxes pronouncing his 'Pot-Shots', which he defined as 'philosophical pornography', and writing them on postcards.

At some point these imbeciles are going to realise that arts courses are *funding* the courses they do like and if they cut those places unis will just go bankrupt so no maths or science either.

It's a dream I always have.

It's properly unconscionable that the Home Office has created this situation. It should never have been allowed to happen and once it did happen it should have been immediately reversed.

New bio, thank you Tripadvisor

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Amazing. Science is extraordinary

Massimo has the glamour but about three ladies toilets for 1,400 people. Mitridate Eupatore is three hours plus

Left a small piece of bread out on the fridge last night. This morning there was a crust on the floor with ants
