I'm sure there is a lot of potential in some kind of mash-up of early Soviet Russian provocateurs, cowboys and Native Americans playing polo, US gangsters and union socialists but that potential has not been achieved here. Honestly reads like a first draft […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Definite Generation Game conveyor belt vibes from the stuff getting fly tipped round the corner. "A set of crystal decanters..." Audience: "Ooooh!!!"

Washing rice is a scam right

All this talk of noodles reminds me, a friend of mine came up with a children's book concept: Noodle Doodle's Brake & Tyre Centre: "Hi! I'm Noodle, please to enter "My busy brake and tyre centre!" which is in my top five funniest things tbh

You know what, with that many E numbers I think I might risk it

It takes them to a poorly catered Burning Man, by the look of whatever is going on in this weird 90s rave flyer cosmic mustache

What have I done. I’m meant to be sticking a 3D trajectory in here but I’ve done too many lines and now I’m just staring at it, mesmerised, like when you draw a line in front of a chicken. I could do with making the line with maths rather than just guessing but I’m not sure how to do that.

I wonder if A24 know that to British people (or British people over 40 or so anyway) this basically translates as 'The Delightful Contraption ' and we are going to expect a whimsical musical number of that title. How good is Johnson's singing voice? Can you tell what the Rock is humming?

OH via the Frontline Fifth Podcast: > People think that th Pulitzer Prize is the highest award in journalism. Incorrect! The highest award is getting killed by the CIA.

On Radio 1 earlier, on the new music show, there was a quite a strange basically jazz song called Children of the Baked Potato by Thundercat and I had no idea who Thundercat was, but was thinking huh, I'm not particularly into this but it's great that some fairly unusual stuff is getting played […]

Do you think anyone at the BBC has noticed that in the sick skateboard trick clip that has run as part of the opening credits of the local London news every night for many months, the graffiti on the concrete slab the skateboard is jumping on says "CEASEFIRE NOW"?

I think I would prefer it if Jimmy Carr presented Only Connect

I think we can all agree that the main flaw with Wolf Hall was that it wasn't narrated by a horny ghost. Well, this historical fiction, about George Sands and Chopin, is narrated by a horny ghost! And you should read it. #bookstodon

Vodafone sending a marketing text beginning "Pssst" don't you "Pssst" me you needy twats, we're not on Grange Hill.

Whatever ways the kid’s TikTok algorithms are skewed is mysterious: he was all over the Kirk shooting news (on the right side!) but was not aware it’s the Rapture tomorrow?

The guy* who has been putting small England flag stickers around here that say ‘Free Palestine!’ and also ‘English Common Law’ seems to be pivoting to heart-shaped England flag stickers that say ‘Free Palestine!’ and also ‘English Common Law’ in an attempt, I guess, to distance himself from the […]

So do Americans get a paid day off to mourn Charlie Kirk then

Black and white photo of John Stapleton on the news. Kid: "Is that a Beatle?"

Charity shops of Wimbledon update:

'Fireflies and Lighted House' - Kobayashi Kiyochika, ca. 1930s. #JapaneseArt #shinhanga

So great that Wimbledon has joined the places where from the Pret you can see another branch of Pret.

It's at times like these - going to the pop-up tip on a Sunday morning - that I almost wish I was Christian and was forbidden from going to the pop-up tip on a Sunday morning, because of Corinthians.

[Which UK prime minister had the most advanced guitar technique?] David Hammer-on

Kid has started watching Sherlock (because yaoi) and I'm annoyed it's good because Martin fucking Freeman is in it

Sainsbury's: let me explain something to you about coffee

Does anybody need a new machine

Do you think when the Ancient Greeks were playing Doom on the Antikythera mechanism they were like, wtf is a shotgun?

Virgin are trying to get me to upgrade our TV box but it seems like the only benefit is .. voice control. They say in their debased cutesy language that you don't need an engineer visit, they will just send "some bits and bobs" in the post, which is a particularly debased cutesy way of saying […]

Trying to sell Jeeves and Wooster as yaoi with Maurice-era aesthetics.

Kid is explaining House MD to me. I thought he solved crimes but apparently he commits them? Also it's yaoi

when i die i want my ashes scattered with an elefun

I don't listen to a lot of guitar music any more but. I fucking love Jimi Hendrix. (Who is on the telly. He is displaying the guitar skills that made him famous.)

Kid sent me this, no idea if it's an ancient meme of yore or whatever but

Just got in trouble with my kid for saying David Grohl instead of Dave

This seems like ambitious gfx and compositing for 93, great looking #totp

Since that was Rowland Rivron in that lot, I think, here's a clip from his river-based chat show in case you weren't aware (because his name sounds a bit like "river") https://youtu.be/j6QOUw3aX2w?feature=shared

This is what Nigel Farage sees in his nightmares #totp

Wonder if this was when Richey was going out with Billie #totp

HOT LEGAL GUARDIANS ARE IN YOUR AREA

Was there really a queue of mums outside Mr Tumble's trailer when he played Glastonbury that time or am I misremembering a tweet

Is there a good way to get editable map layers into Illustrator (i.e. dxf files, maybe there are more ways)? I've tried Atlas.co but the layers I need are uncomplete and very unwieldy (admittedly I've cornered myself into using central London here). I think the ideal would be just to get A-roads […]

There's a Great Gatsby film on and yet again I'm reminded that the first time I read it I knew so little about history I kind of thought, 1920s, they must have been basically knights and when a car turned up at the end I had to rapidly re-evaluate my entire idea of the world.

Turns out as well as a hall pass for Jeff Bridges dressed as a Tron, my wife needs one for... the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz? He has kind eyes apparently
