evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

My brother is writing wonderful things. He keeps doing it, and it makes me happy. Disclosure: I am also a cryer.

Sir David Attenborough… on your 100th birthday, we thank you. For a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with such grace and wonder. Generations have fallen in love with nature because of you. Happy birthday, Sir. 🎉

*let's out breath* Happy Birthday to Sir David (not Beckham). 100 today 🥳🥳🥳

God, it really never gets old does it? He's just *brilliant*.

I just went past one of these ads on the M4 on the way into West London 🙂

Regret to announce "Project Unstoppable Fury of Incandescent Steel: Inevitable Death on Wings of Fiery Oblivion" has been paused in light of how scary the enemy is. To our foes I have just one message: "uWu, I am but smol."

I'm regularly late for work due to watching Scooby Doo in the mornings, you can't walk away before they reveal the villain

Newly defrosted freezer leant itself to something ice-creamy. Picked up these in Aldi. Not the cheapest thing on the receipt by a long stretch (£3.45 for 6 pieces) but really nice and filling. Pistachio ice cream mochi.

Not even sorry

With relish?

Due to some talking heads, retrospective malarkey Terry has discovered the existence of "Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin" (I know, right - I assume he was playing footy or getting high or both back in 1989). Thankfully, it's on the iPlayer. We're two episodes in and onto episode 3.

Notts 🏹 The Blaze🔥 Forest 🌳🌳🌳 Decent day of sports that.

germany implies the existence of gerfew

Or there's a large base who will quietly vote Reform, who want bad things to happen to other people but don't want to see it.

Whoever is calling my work mobile can gft.

Supposed to be going to cricket but #cba

Greens should respond by saying they'll build Colleges of Further Education in Reform council areas.

Rayner’s caught by the combination of misogyny and classism here, I think. Theresa May can have a big glass of white wine at the cricket but if Rayner did someone would take is as evidence she was getting above herself. Gin and tonic is worse (and Tory coded). Don’t drink? Humourless, judgey jag.

Todd Blanche only eats in casinos and strip clubs

That’s a sex club Todd, you’re going to the buffet at a sex club. That is not economical and also do you REALLY think the other people wash their hands?

Did you like that one did you like that one well here's another

I have bought tickets to the Global Bird Fair (formerly British Bird Fair) for the first time in about 20 years. I am somewhat excited 🐦‍⬛🤓

With the sequel of “he also stabbed a Muslim man”. He stabbed his friend in Southwark then travelled to Golders Green, noticeably not stabbing anyone else between the two! I think we can reasonably surmise both had specific (and different) motives!

Whoever came up with the name “Ewok Powell” to describe Tommy Robinson should take the rest of the year off.

Excellent recovery from The Blaze to get from 135-7 to 240-8. Something to bowl at. #MBODC #DURBLA

That's the west coast mainline for you

"pricklouse" 10/10 insult. No notes.

It once hosted Eric and Ernie and a boxing kangaroo – now it’s all pigeons and decay. How did Hulme Hippodrome fall so low?

Every single fucking time there’s an antisemitic attack people immediately jump in with this bullshit. Fuck all the way off.

It's very likely that the greatest TV ever made in Britain is contained entirely in this box

Christ. Influencers on Instagram. "I have a beauty confession. Sometimes, I go out without foundation." Great content 🥱 Most days, I don't even moisturise ffs.

Morgan McSweeney confirms that Mandelson and George Osborne were the two choices for ambassador to the US, suggesting that everyone in No10 must have been smoking crack.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

An admirable draw all things considered.

Aries: Please stop touching the Amulet of Unceasing Regret. It’s not a toy.

Just heard the Girdler quoting you on the live feed @plodinnotts.bsky.social

Find someone who loves you as much as the American public loves rapists.

The shame of following on 😳

Death on the Nile (1978) is a goddamn perfect adaptation

I have been to the club shop and purchased a late birthday present for myself to make myself feel less stabby.

As sure as night follows day.

Blokes (old cricket friends I while guess) sat by me and have moved from talking about forest to politics. One (ex-Labour) is now in Your Party and the other plans to vote Reform 🤢 (also a fan of Mahmood which figures).
