Kintsugi ~ an ancient Japanese art that fixes broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold. Instead of hiding the broken bits, it celebrates them, appreciating that the piece is now even more beautiful, and more unique. Perfect metaphor for life 🦄 #peace #love #kindness

I think the James Acaster, Phil Wang, Rhod Gilbert team or Javie Martsoukas could have a jolly good attempt at this task.

The comments made me laugh more than they should 🤣

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

"More and more, Reform UK looks simply as if the Tories ran off stage, then came back on two minutes lates, wearing a comedy moustache-and-glasses disguise." A rebranding exercise of the most established party masquerading as anti-establishment that shows total contempt for voters. ~AA

The Cardiff Lions do an annual Drag Rugby charity match for children’s charities and it’s as beautiful as you imagined

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Shameless greed and corruption.

After reports that Grok says that Elon Musk is smarter than Einstein and could take Mike Tyson in a fight, I am pleased to report there is one thing on this planet Grok thinks is better than Elon Musk.

Chris Packham on the political shift on climate change: “It’s no secret that the fossil fuel companies are funding Reform and The Conservatives - that’s a fact. These people are either denying something extremely dangerous or they’re puppet-ing it for their paymasters” #bbclaurak
