Take a deep breath and drop your shoulders. Unclench your jaw and relax your scalp. Darcy would like you to know that she smells of hazelnuts and she is soft and warm. (Her breath is a little bit honky)

God almighty. The power of thoughts. I had a dream last night about an ex-friend who is no longer in my life, she was messy and toxic and had a habit of destroying all her friendships eventually. And I spent the first hour of today angry. It was JUST A DREAM! It didn’t actually happen.

why does Jeremy Corbyn, a man who clearly does not enjoy leading political parties, keep running political parties

I CAST WHIMSY ON THE SKYLINE

This is an extremely good idea

Fantastic interview. Everyone should read it:

There was a big poster of Prince on the wall behind us today at lunch: Teen: Prince was kind of a dick wasn’t he? Me: Prince was a channel for unfathomable quantities of creative talent and inspiration. He didn’t have time to be anything other than whatever he was on any given day.

Lovely night crocii (I would like to suggest this as the plural of crocus)

ON WHAT CHARGE??? Planning to flee a country? Planning to flee a succulent country?

Finally, tech that interests me.

There has been much hospitaling lately. Took the teen out to lunch to celebrate it all being over for now. All is well. And Sprite’s cheese bread was cheesey.

New picture:

Another new one:

A man with Coprolaliac Tourette’s Syndrome (award-nominated for a film about his disorder) yelling the N-word at Black actors on stage, is an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. A trolley problem for a new era. It’s a Woke 2.0 cosmic test of some kind. Too on the nose to engage with.

This is just brilliant! And if you’d like to know what this gorgeous little animation has to do with Elvis, then listen to the Overshadowed episode of So Disappointed audioboom.com/posts/882508...

Art. #frog #AAAAH #needlefelt #wool #art

People with coprolalia should be able to go out in public. Black people should be able to exist in public without hearing the n-word yelled at them. There is no world in which both those things can happen, and that's a sad fact.

I find this rare Young Ones publicity photo of the infamous Fifth Housemate more unsettling than the brief glimpses we get of them on screen. It's the fact that this mysterious ghostly presence is out there front and centre, *staring* at us. Brrrr.

I am exceptionally fortunate. My damaged knee is heading into a(n) MRI this morning to be looked at properly. I don't need to pay for that. I love the NHS to distraction. We could always abolish the monarchy and use that money to shore up our most beautiful and useful institution.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

The curling has actually stopped? The thingy is now sufficiently curly, I assume?

Oh my god, it’s PERFECT!

Dancer in the Dark And Banshees of Inisherin Both stunning films which really have to be seen and I’m so glad I did, they’re masterpieces, but I’m not doing that to my poor heart again.

I made butter! I have a churny thing on my food processor which has never been used. Whacked a tub of double cream on top of it. Hit the button…

I think I shared that towards the end of last year I found a way to focus my brain on reading books for pleasure again. I’m ploughing through my enormous collection of Fontana and Pan Agatha Christie paperbacks. Here’s what I’ve read this year…

Morning #Scotland

It’s remarkable. Trump is so textbook narcissist and displays all of the symptoms so clearly, because he’s too stupid to mask it, that you can use him as a living DSM and identify if the vile person *you* are dealing with might have the same dark triad personality disorder as Donald.

I really shouldn’t be delighted by hipster whimsy fuckery. Especially when it’s expensive and unnecessary, but… WOOFCHESTER’S BARK BURGERS!! Wonderful

I did not ‘get’ Elvis. I didn’t understand why some people were obsessed with the man. I understand now. Please go see this film. It’s also making me think of Paul and me talking about the ‘wow’ signal in this… audioboom.com/posts/882508...

Just listen to what Andrew’s nickname was amongst royal protection officers.

We’ve just been to see Baz Luhrman’s EPiC It was an ecstatic experience. I just bathed in the majesty of the King for two hours. One of the very few films I have ever applauded.

This is an album that I go back to over and over. Her cover of ‘I’m not in love” is chilling, but it’s her astonishing reworking of Lloyd Cole’s ‘Rattlesnakes’ that really stands out for me. I wish I’d bought a ‘Strange little girl’ T-shirt when I had the chance.

I would love to have been a ‘poor’ relative in an Agatha Christie book. Helen had fallen on hard times, she could only keep a small flat in London with just one servant and a cottage on the coast of Cyprus when she spent her winters. Poor Helen

I thought the day couldn't get better but #c4news just dropped this photo of Andrew leaving the police station, and I

Terry *loves* consequences… Now do the rest of them!

I have lived through divorce, deaths, biopsies and far too many house sales and I can tell you right now that the most stressful thing on the planet is trying to get tickets to something you know is gonna sell out FAST! Anyway, the teen *IS* going to the @edgarwright.bsky.social Q+A at the GFT.

Steve is having a nice relaxing bath.

Davina McCall outside Mandelson's house

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Happy birthday Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

please god let him be the trigger that causes Consequences for the other named dickheads in the files 🙏

I love a bit of mindblowing breaking news

I have a full blown sinus infection. One of those ones where you can’t lean forward without crushing pain, sense of taste and smell are gone, I can’t hear. Face ID on my phone isn’t working because my nose and eyes are swollen. I’m here for any witchy / ancient remedies that actually work!

I have now watched three episodes of Small Prophets, and it’s a magical little gift to us all.

The Irish for “Haven’t we suffered enough?” is “Nach raibh dóthain fulaingthe againn?”

'we are thrilled and proud to announce we have created marvin the paranoid android from douglas adam's famous novel, "don't create marvin, the paranoid android"'

Do you think ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ prepared Cheryl Hines for this life?
