Looks like he ready to raise some Barnes

Last word on Andy Burnham: never trust a man who looks like all of the Smiths at once.

Long term break for hydration break

everything is a mystery if you’re dumb enough

Brad posting a thread of Carole King’s demo recordings of her Monkees songs is just one reason why I ❤️ my echo chamber. cc @johnniejohnstone.bsky.social

Sometimes being a small creative business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop. Have a look at my shop and please repost to spread the word. Thanks. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Here in Wales we mark the Summer Solstice at Bryn Celli Ddu, a Neolithic chambered tomb on Ynys Môn (Anglesey). The entrance is aligned to the midsummer sunrise. For more info see: cadw.gov.wales/visit/places...

HYDRATION BREAK

The police didn't see the need to tase this guy and repeatedly kick him in the head, and the media haven't seen the need to make this racially motivated axe and knife attack the top story on all channels with immediate calls for the government to do something about Islamophobia. How odd.

“You saw a what? A Stephen Hawking quote? Nice one. Where was that, then - in a university or a museum or something?” “Sort of…”

BECAUSE OF WOKE

Swamp the drain! Swamp the drain!

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

problem solved

Makes sense for the Transport Secretary to plan his departure

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

They’re calling it the quote on British politics that ended the need for all other quotes

I thought this guy got whacked after the Lufthansa Heist.

Guadagnino has a long relationship with Amazon MGM (who released Bones and All, Challengers and After the Hunt), so them opting not to release this... I think that's very obviously a political decision, especially as Amazon don't want to be seen releasing a movie critical of AI when they support it.

This is an embarrassing image for the UK. A self-respecting British fox should be dragging Binface's contents out over the stage

Morning

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

Looking good, chief.

Do they have anyone in government who even knows what a computer is?

Outstanding non-FIFA approved poster seen in Vancouver. In your face, Gianni.

Literally the best email I've ever received. No notes.

Iran is awarding him the FAFO Peace Prize.

ENGLAND: "I'd like a metaphor please...NO, NOT TOO ON THE NOSE"

This is a serious problem for Putin. He can only stay in power if the people around him think he's strong and Moscow getting droned by Ukraine sends the opposite signal: We started a war we can't win and now not even our capital city is safe anymore

Two days ago, a man in Hull was sentenced to 26 months in jail (suspended for 18 months) and 250 hours of unpaid work for selling CDs containing "unauthorised remixes of well-known tracks"

Blimey, science! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This fly has been on my TV for most of the match. Just look at the intelligent off the ball runs it makes, only to be ignored. Constantly moving, always finding space.

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

Just been sent this by a mate who HATES Jim Ratcliffe. Only problem is, it's entirely AI generated. The interview never happened. We are so fucked.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Bit harsh on Wayne Rooney?

Woody Guthrie wrote a song about this

"Someday this by-election's gonna end..."
