Another of @azjackson.bsky.social’s tentacular online projects, this one a collaboration with @simonbarraclough.bsky.social, which features a future self, Oor Wullie Nemo XVII/17. #NewBootsAndPantisocracies & #ProjectAbeona - together we’re space bootsier (and snudge)!

Good to see Ade Edmondson in ALIEN: Bottom.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Selective Concern for Children’s Lives Syndrome #r4today

Hope you guys aren’t tired of this face yet cos tomorrow morning I’ll be joining ITV @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social at 7.15 tomorrow morning to “bang on ideologically about safe routes” all over again 😊

It was my great honour to interview the one and only Francesca Albanese yesterday. Watch here, and find out why Trump and Rubio are so determined to stop her vital work: zeteo.com/p/israels-te...

Carl Sagan on why books are human’s greatest invention:

New entry for the OED (Orwellian English Dictionary) — Humanitarian City.

1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.

Remember the Pocket Shepherd from The Day Today? 🐑 🐕 🚁

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I support Palestine Action. I hate all forms of violence. I wish no harm on anyone. I just want a kinder, fairer, greener world. Apparently this makes me a terrorist. But I am the opposite of a terrorist.

This woman absolutely nails the Glastonbury controversy - and isn't interrupted, either. But a commercial news media that needs to monetize outrage cannot afford such sense. #r4today youtube.com/shorts/Qo81s...

Enjoy this wood duck for your #DuckOfTheDay.

I don’t think the BBC should have to apologise for Neil Young playing songs from Greendale. #r4today #glastonbury PS: I love Neil Young.

See #OCEAN at the cinema if you can. Uplifting, heartbreaking, mind-resetting. Plus you get to spend 90 minutes with one of the great humans. #davidattenborough

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Dunno why chocolate mint, strawberry, and cookie & cream gelato options keep flashing through my mind.

Conclave’s excellent run at the Curzon is set to be extended further.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

People are taking things into their own hands

Every time I send a reel to my friend Francis I’m one slip of the finger away from sending it to Francis Ford Coppola.

Give them a follow, and buy some of their stuff while you're at it: wonderful small UK publisher! #booksky

Do any women in the UK recall watching Laurel & Hardy films on BBC television in the 1960s/70s? If so, did they watch with a parent? If so, which parent? I'm trying to establish whether or not it was a broadly gendered experience (a father/son thing)

“I know she went out, but what I'd like to know is where did she went?”

This is absolutely hilarious. Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK. Clearly didn't read it. Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.

🚨🚨Again, easy to forget in current turbulent times but #brexit is still a devastating shitshow with nearly pitless misery. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

I have measured out my life / in monthly reminders from Octopus / to submit my meter readings.
