What better way to celebrate the 100th birthday of Marilyn Monroe? Let’s come back later and see it when it’s finished.

I would like to go and see THE POPE during his forthcoming visit to Spain but I am worried he might talk shite.

They were saying the same thing about Ronaldo at the last World Cup. I don’t think it has anything to do with celebrity, at the very least he can talk to the youngsters. Having said that - LOSERS!

You can’t even play Candy Crush without bringing about the death of peer-reviewed science and therefore science.

Give a child a rabbit and an apple. Which one will they eat?

Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR

Happy Pride month!

Dostoevsky's line about "Man is a vile creature, he gets used to everything"—I think there may be truth in that. For example, do you still remember the Epstein files? #Epstine #Epstinefiles

500K “pilgrims” on the Camino de Santiago. Doesn’t say when though.

More from the anxiously sought Real Spain - quality café reading material (Al Green is playing too!)

As much as I love the World Cup, I hope that all matches in the US are a disaster from the point of view of poor attendance. I hope it all backfires spectacularly

Trombone Shorty!

For some it’s the norm. They get off on it. No difference. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bor...

I doubt the Millennium Falcon has ever looked better than in this poster by the great Noriyoshi Ohrai from 1982, when a dubbed version of Star Wars was released in Japan.

Charles Manson would not play the Freedom 250 concert in the first place. Manson 101.

Take care of your cows

Hi, expert on far-right extremism here, a history of domestic violence and misogyny is one of the strongest predictive variables for violent extremism, especially on the right. We've been raising the alarm on this for DECADES but no one cares.

Fans are sending love and prayers to 75-year-old R&B legend Peabo Bryson after he had a stroke, his representative told media outlets Sunday. Here's what we know ->

Jealous that Arsenal fans get to say their parade was multicultural. Ours was honky central, ditto Bilbao. Still think the river trip is the best parade though. One million people in a COUNTRY of three million. Rotters in every other way though.

Disappointed this is not Bilbao

We had a full fat Christian ex-borstal teacher. He also had a hunchback but I can’t tell you that because of woke. Amazingly, he also tried to be down with the kids, using their nicknames, etc. But mainly he tried to smash their heads into the wall, unless it was a millimetre perfect act.

Town Hall extension, Murcia, designed by Rafael Moneo, completed 1998. rafaelmoneo.com/en/projects/mu…

“I first heard this piece when I was at a Hitler Youth camp. It’s a lovely lovely concerto played by Les Dawson.”

Please all start work on Nigel Farage’s Desert Island Discs. I’m too tired to come up with anything better than The Frog Chorus.

This Belgian acid track somehow passed me by in '88

Hi I’m Chloe and I make these small-scale lively handmade mixed media original drawings, these four are still available just in case this is useful info. Actual art at all too reasonable prices. And if you can’t afford it, thank you for looking and sharing etc. #art www.chloecumming.com

What Led Zep call Companion Audio: the aforementioned song 1) what a great song 2) what a great Cure covers band 3) Olive very excited 4) Robert exactly the same as ever 5) Asked my daughter if she likes Olive she says a bit boring but told me who *does* like Olive (from primary school)

Sundays are just pure BOREDOM: youtu.be/iMXR7w76VZU?...

oh neat, my shower head has a secret setting, i think, as a single beam of ultra-pressurised water passes clean through my skull, killing me instantly

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre told a story in her memoir that has stayed with me. 🧵

I don’t know if Olivia Rodrigo has experience of meeting poor people: youtube.com/shorts/BPjUB...

Finally watched the controversial Olivia Rodrigo video and was amused to see that is called DROP DEAD which was a clever riposte ahead of time. Not much to say except is the quality of the video footage like RUSSIAN ARK? Also I now like Olivia Rodrigo. I assume this is why “some people” are down on

I’m imagining it. It’s called MARGARET THATCHER and she started this entire process in 1979. Everything you see is a direct result of MARGARET THATCHER. A vote for THATCHER was a vote for TRUMP.

Starts off with a perfectly valid point:

Regardless of any other considerations, how often has the Mount Rushmore joke been done? Maybe we should have a poll to find the best one.

Just to let you know that earlier on I did my first ever impersonation of Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico 🇲🇽. Can any readers beat that?

KNICKERS to Olivia Rodrigo!

I think it’s good that “the kids” are taking photos of flowers in springtime

2/ 'This is the work of fascism' - children's drawings of aerial bombardment ...

1/ Children's experience of the Spanish Civil War - images from the Civil War Museum in Cartagena. The city and naval base was a Republican stronghold and the last city, in 1939, to fall to Franco.

She’s just getting to the good bit!

A quick heads up for fans of the Pope: THE BLUES BROTHERS is on one of the normal UK television channels tonight - probably BBC Something. YOU BETTER THINK whether you want to watch it.

I expect you are all watching the synchronised swimming world championships from Pontevedra. It’s pish but what can you do? Sundays gonna Sunday.
