Caroline Catlin was diagnosed with an incurable form of brain cancer: Grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma. After a long, gray winter of feeling heavy about life and the world, she set up the “little free pep talk library” on her sidewalk in Seattle. https://wapo.st/4drVKWk

Tremendously niche Q but do anyone else's butter beans explode in the microwave and is there a way to stop this

I’m running a contest with Spoke Art Gallery for someone to win one of my prints. You can enter here: www.instagram.com/p/DXR9elPEsg...

I saw this "Far Side" cartoon from December 6, 1987, and couldn't believe it was real. But it is. That Gary Larson--he was forty years ahead of his time.

This is miraculous. The survival rate for pancreatic cancer is (was) dreadful. I have lost beloved people to this, and this gives me such hope that we don't have to fear it as totally.

I'm going to eat 10,000 babybels and meet god on his terms

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Glorious sunshine googling pubs within hiking distance showing arsenal game tomorrow

Kash Patel is such a pathetic character, in both senses of that word: so hopelessly out of his depth, compulsively acting out what he thinks constitutes macho swagger – private jets, Vegas, booze, merch – in ways that only emphasise how profoundly insecure and terrified he is

Media studies should be a core curriculum subject tbh

In the UK we call them lifts but in the US they call them elevators, because we’re raised differently.

Hands up who is excited for 007 First Light

If you travel basically anywhere in Great Britain, by road, rail, or air, you see the work of Margaret Calvert. www.thamesandhudson.com/blogs/all-ne...

I think about Amy Winehouse every day and miss her terribly.

Set design of the apprentice boardroom is looking really dated these days

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

"Did you want gothic, gothic revival, picturesque or the arts and crafts style?" "Yes"

oh! they got this all screwed up!

I had this for a full month. Every day saying "we thought youd like a new rolling stones t-shirt" to point where I was questioning if I should. Then it stopped and abruptly pivoted to suggesting I buy new DJ equipment

I dunno guys maybe the *prince of darkness* would turn out to be a wrongun and the more forensic of us would have anticipated that

And lo! The Lord did ask "did you ever see a man bade farewell to a shoe" and the man did say "Yes....once". And it was good.

"Look, we know this is bad, but you have to realise, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary are quite bad at their jobs"

FWIW, my take on all of this is that it was a fait accompli before the vetting was done, and that Robbins decided that he had no choice but to go along with the PM's decision. I strongly suspect that Robbins did tell no 10 that Mandy failed the DV, but did so verbally rather than in writing.

Wonder if there is link between sleep quality and nature of dreams? Just awoke in the dark, very quiet suburbs from a very vivid, hyper-realistic dream which is quite some way from the usual chaotic shithousery brain gets up to trying to sleep with 17 sirens an hour going off

The man who every centrist presented as the most forensic & detailed motherfucker you've ever seen, a bloodless automaton of pure procedure, in reality has no idea about what's going on around him, & may as well be sitting in his office counting crayons or throwing paper planes at the bin.

Refreshing tl:

I know how you feel

Uh ok sure, ill let them know?

going to be very uncool, bluesky, if starmer goes and rather than posting excellent memes we're all stuck looking at the same two dozen posts about hippos and the big red VERBOTEN banner

is pablo escobar behind this

*slaps roof* you can fit so much slop in this bad boy

The people demand a fail whale

It’s genuinely staggering how little substance there is to today’s instalment of the BBC’s attempt to create a national crisis out of a few unproven allegations of immigration fraud 1/

Johnny Depp is in a lot of cologne ads for someone who looks like they just hit a Febreze bath after a smoke break

Im planning a wendy house. Dont ask. Any wendy house tips please for an architect who wants it to be exceptional whose only experience of wendy houses was them being damp and smelly in the 90s

i like my coffee how i like my men. ground up and liquidised

"I'm pivoting to AI, Marge, it's my lifelong dream." "You said footwear was your lifelong dream."

I read that the hippos were descended from pablo escobar himself fyi

when someone says “how are you doing”

I feel a bit sorry for these incel boys with their manosphere, looks-maxxing, and mogging. In my day if you couldn’t get a date you put on a cape and mask and haunted an opera house
