If you see this post a monster.

If this was a year ago I suspect the Supreme Court would have passed Trump’s tariffs. It might be a sign even his people are starting to notice there’s a tiny chance he might not actually know what the fuck he’s doing.

Universe Practically Stumbling Over Itself To Reward Man’s Decision To Stop Making Art https://theonion.com/universe-practically-stumbling-over-itself-to-reward-mans-decision-to-stop-making-art/

It looks like it's not all the tariffs, it's the random on a whim ones. You know, when he wakes up in a terrible mood with Chad for no apparent reason.

I'm pretty sure it's someone doing an impression and yet no one would be a bit surprised if it was him.

Gregory's Girl but with the bit at the very beginning with the boys spying on a nurse take her top off cut out. It was quite odd watching a film set in a scottish comprehensive while sitting in a scottish comprehensive.

I own a print of the bottom left piece - Sconser, Skye - and let me tell you, it is a thing of beauty. If we are ever visited by aliens, I wish, I wish, I wish for them to arrive in a Gothic cathedral-like structure like this. Death rays, explosions, blah blah blah - but look at the crenelations!

PLUGGING THE MARS WAS RUBBISH ETSY SHOP! It's good stuff. Endless talking point at parties. Graeme needs to eat sometimes, you know. Artists cannot survive on Gauloises alone.

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs." Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow." Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Peter Mandelson? The political consultant?

I’ve been enjoying Dudley’s sandwich for decades now.

I would caution against Americans thinking everyone hates them, the American right are isolationists so they love the idea, it’s your government we can’t stand.

When a famous British person dies now there’s a much greater sense of ravens leaving the tower about it than it used to. This could be because I’m currently hurtling through my 50s of course.

It's not us hating you, it's every geopolitically friendly country having multiple news stories about your government's secret police snatching our countrymen who are over there for valid reasons & throwing them in concentration camps & we don't want to risk that for a holiday.

I haven’t sold anything this week. This is because I havent been endlessly plugging the shop. I know it’s boring but I’m afraid it works. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

I remember Spitting Image used to portray journalists as vultures and pigs wearing trilbies with press cards sticking out of the belt. Always thought that was a bit unfair on vultures and pigs.

Thanks to Darren Jones for unearthing this extraordinary piece. I wish somebody would publish a big anthology of Adair's journalism

Does anyone else remember Nina Katchadourian's found poetry project where she photographed books to make poems.

Fireworks being set off by someone nearby, apparently unaware of the whole it needs to be nighttime tradition.

Also where I first heard “iron” as rhyming slang. “You an iron? Get out of my shop”

I can’t wait for the 100th anniversary on Sunday and you’ve probably seen this but it’s a brilliant way to spend half an hour. Kenneth Williams Comic Roots from 1983 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I always enjoy reading about Kenneth Williams. A difficult and complicated man but one I find endlessly fascinating. He would have hated the modern world. Although he didn’t seem overly keen on his own world either. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Beautiful everyday Ladybird things. The television set Artist: Harry Wingfield (1970)

Can’t help thinking about the chaos that will ensue when the person they have to be loyal to in order to be hired no longer exists. 🍿

I’m sure a “Why do “the right” hate innovation?” article will appear any day now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know it’s Brass Eye but impossible not to think of “Stairwell nonce bashing”

Instagram has started to send me mad insane shit where all the comments are from equally nuts people. I miss when it was just nice photos and that.

Someone with a connection to Angela Morley read my book and got in touch with this anecdote from when his dad and Angela played in the Goon Show band:

This entirely innocent sounding website reminds me of one of my own paintings.

Don't access this site, for any reason. Signed, a former intel girlie

Getting quite good at scrolling past instantly when my eyes see the words “Breaking. President Trump….”

Gollocks

"I will ruin your career with a bad review" is actually an incredibly funny thing to say to an actual working writer, damn never had one of those before whatever will we do to overcome this major life setback

I don't think we should have a royal family at all but a compromise I could live with is if the UK became like Denmark or somewhere when you find you have to google to see if they've got a king or a queen.

Went swimming this afternoon but forgot it was half term.

Never mind, America. You can still laugh at our bad teeth.

Had to be done #AndrewMountbattenWindsor

People who say Andrew's arrest is to distract from the US bombing Iran. I think we're going to notice.

Good news for American wankers who live in states that banned Pornhub.

Bet the guy who blew up the twin towers to prevent Prince Andrew being arrested is feeling a right muppet this morning.

The thing about your Alan Partridge jokes is I don't think this would happen to Alan. "They're sex people, Lynn" Andrew is Dan. Not Alan.

Andrew being arrested has really spoiled my morning routine. “I’m sorry I’m late for your dad’s funeral I had to laugh at memes for an hour”

"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Pizza Express meal?"

All the people who’ve given up social media for lent.

If today is your birthday you share it with Millie Bobby Brown, former popular singer Seal and former unpopular prince “Andrew”.
