Dearie me. That scoreline does not fully reflect how close that much was #RedRoses 🌹

🎵Nice day to... start aga-ain

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 170: Words matter. Words are the conduit for ideas. Words can affect the way your readers see the world; how they behave; how they relate to others. Every political movement, every religion, philosophy, war, began with ideas, translated into words. Use them wisely.

We don't know why, but we can't help thinking this bird is on its way to a nightclub. We also think it might have taken something. 😬 #MosaicMonday

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

On reflection, James James Morrison Morrison (WGD) was a pretty fucking weird three year old.

I’ve had root canal.

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

Really lucky to be able to see @nataliehaynes.bsky.social launching her new book & tour at the Bloomsbury Theatre this evening… 🐏 (*actual Natalie not pictured)

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

My cartoon for the @theguardian.com books autumn reads special.

Annual outing of the Steve Cram joke for #GNR day. Derby day at St James’s Park. Steve Cram turns up at the VIP entrance in the Milburn stand. “away fans in the Leazes end” says the doorman. “But I’m Steve Cram!” “Then it won’t take you very long to run round there, will it?”

“Okay, Arlene, take the pic-“ “HEY-OOOO!” “Godammit, Harvey.”

Why had I never seen the Lion of St Mark from the Echternach Gospels before? What a fabulous sproingy beast.

Hope this all does some good in a small way. RT the thread, if you feel like it. Big cheers for everyone out there daring to treat refugees like actual real people. Absolutely fuck the other lot. Here's 13 seconds of the North Sea at its best. Thanks.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

I’ve put them on FB cos they seemed to answer a lot of what a friend had heard, and was unfortunately perpetuating yesterday, so feels like it’s important to get an opposing view out there.

- When I pass cyclists, I always slow down, as to not spook the bikes "That's for horses" - Don't be silly. Horses can't ride bicycles.

Hi Bluesky. My eldest brother died unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago. There’s an FB page been set up by the funeral directors. Not posting it here to ask for donations, just a way to say what’s happened. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cbg...

Don’t let other people’s enjoyment of things you don’t like ruin your day. You’re better than that.

The Hunt for Gollum. Just stop, for pity's sake stop strip-mining Middle Earth. I would rather watch Sam Does the Gardening. And I hate gardening. Sewing Bee with Tom Bombadil. Merry and Pippin's Second Breakfasts. Faramir Mooches Bitterly About. CSI: Minas Morgul.

Death is a very precarious time b/c everyone is traumatized in different ways and deals with it differently, with greater or lesser consciousness and self-knowledge and tools and support, and some people may react in ways that sever important connections.

Do not pander. Do not dumb down. Do not make your voice less magical. Trust your audience to be smarter than you. Trust them to be as curious as fuck. Never blame anyone for the tepid, lazy choices you make in your work.

I have invaded Edinburgh… I’m so sorry to all of you I know up here for not being in touch as I am here for work so have limited time, but it is very nice to be back.

“Frappe frappe” “Qui est lá?” “J’adore…” “J’adore qui?” “J’adore qui not working?”

Librarian here. It's because library books eat old people.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

I’ll say it again. Even louder

We will all smoke together when we smoke There'll be nobody left to post that joke RIP Tom Lehrer

FACT OF THE DAY. 27 July 2012. The spectacular Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics took place in the Olympic Stadium in London. It was directed by Academy Award-winning British film director, Danny Boyle. Newspaper reviews praised it as a “masterpiece” and “a love letter to Britain”.

Having a brand that means people send me snow leopard cub info as matter of urgency is just the best thing 😻

#VignettesFromTheBikeLane a small infant, imprisoned in its buggy, triumphantly waving a tiny, primrose-yellow sock above its head like a battle flag.

Oh yeah, because this won't in any way shape or form lead to people attacking delivery persons, Uber drivers etc. FFS, the image alone is meant to instil fear. That is guaranteed to lead to attacks. Labour's new pledge "actively inciting violence to gain votes"

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

There's a man dressed as a warlock walking down Tottenham Court Road, with a German Shepherd and a three-foot speaker blasting out heavy metal. It's a busy lunchtime and everyone is completely ignoring him. I honestly don't know how Reform can claim that London is anything other than just fine.

Dearie dearie me. I was having an early night. Oh well.

I know it’s not for everyone but there’s nothing like the emotional investment in sport and the collective joy or sorrow it brings

Oh my giddy aunt… #TheFootball
