The menu ( in Welsh ) of Caffi Spam at Colwyn Bay for the unveiling of the Terry Jones statue this afternoon.

There are worse things you can do with an evening than ogle long haired boys in states of undress - and one of those things is to watch Harvey Keitel dress up in armour and fight a spaceship / Spanish pop star trying to be Bowie.

Who can name all of these little guys? (I ask this because the fuzzy green one made me laugh but I don't know who he is.) Get on it nerds: make me proud!

As a child I was stumped on how they got the motion blur in this scene. It's claymation so it can't just be drawn in. Much later I found out that all the blur in the tracking and panning shots is actual *motion* blur. The sets were moved for a fraction of a second during each exposure!

Me and my friends would kill that advert Albert Einstein with hammers I can tell you that much

I made a short film! It’s called ‘DUCKS’ (Music and Sound by the incredible Megalithic Sound, everything else by me) youtu.be/L8vZbIeAdAw?... #animation #ducks #shortfilm #independentfilm #3d #cgi

The Okefenokee is flanked by heat, but the Heart is still holding. I’m spending today scribbling the small auguries into my notes: the lizard's path, the way the smoke curls. Every drought has a language, and I’m learning to translate it for what’s coming next. #SwampSunday #Okefenokee #WitchSky

Sensational horse relief with long legs and small willy, 7th cent. BC

Conversation with my own brain: I have thrown out  the boxes  that were in  the attic and which  you were probably  saving  to move house Forgive me  they were dusty  so old and so disgusting

If this time travel experiment works, I should be able to go from here and now and reappea—

On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed

Today London has gifted me history and animation, art that made me laugh and art that filled my soul, a crypt full of bonkers French creatives, far more warmth than I was really prepared for, and ice cream headaches with one of the most more-ish people I know. Good job, London.

And here's my assistant, Little Parker Booowles!

If I worked for Meta, everything I’d write going forward would use this method…

Oof. Right in the nostalgia.

Sitting next to a hen party on the tube. One lass just showed another how to use a Polaroid camera: "you have to look through there... etc..." Me and the lady opposite 💀 💀 💀

It’s the 91st anniversary of the world learning of the murder of criminal, blackmailer, and police informant Jim Smith. His demise, then, might not have been entirely surprising – but it was discovered because a shark in a Sydney aquarium vomited up his left arm in front of a crowd of spectators 🧵

Happy Perfect Date Day, everyone

So I’m doing this village quiz night and was asked to do the picture round. See how you go with this - name the airline from the tail fin

Having a little cry because one of my ex work experience folks just came in to say hi, and they have blossomed from a shy little egg to a confident young person who knows *exactly* what they're all about. They were such a talented student and I'm so happy to see how empowered and happy they are now.

In the words of Jimmy Buffett, I'm growing older but not up.

Roman blown-glass unguentarium or balsamarium in the shape of a dove, found at Rovasenda near Vercelli in N Italy, sealed since its manufacture about 1900 years ago, containing the remains of a cosmetic and the liquid in which it was once suspended. One would have snapped off the tail to open. 🏺

LOVE this. Once I was walking in the Phoenix Park with a visiting college friend. A passing jogger tutted in disapproval and said, as only a Dub can, ‘Ah here, would you ever hold her hand.’ We laughed but he took my hand. Some shenanigans ensued; our 20th wedding anniversary is in September.

This is a very nice video.

how tall are the bosses, are they replacing the sign without needing ladders

social media was a wonderful brain toilet for every random half thought you didn't want to bother real people with before they decided to move all of society and infrastructure and government inside of the toilet

Incapable of doing anything this evening as someone put 'A Knight's Tale' on TV and now I *have* to watch James Purefoy living his best nerdy little life. 😍

You know what your museum is lacking? A ten foot tall Marie Curie trapped in a box who will ignore all previous instructions and make up poems. Ugh, this is not in any way 'personal'. Museums are where people go to engage with authentic parts of the past. museumsandheritage.com/advisor/post...

It ain’t just trams

“I got chills, they’re multiplying”, “Anybody could be that guy” and “You’re just somebody that I used to know”. All song lyrics which could also be the tagline for The Thing.

A grasshopper of the past. What a monster flying through the 1540s ...

Leeds trams update

In Steam day at Crossness Pumping Station. A stunning place to learn about poo.

Drove my car into the sea because the engine was hot and then I set fire to it to dry it

91% of eligible authors have claimed compensation from Anthropic, the 'ethical' AI company that, like all of them, based its entire LLM on theft. (Normal claim rate in class actions: 9%. Authors are PISSED.) Settlement: $1.5billion. Imagine how much they thought they'd be found liable for in court.

I bought this when Adobe started their insane subscription model. Never letting it go.

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

I'm not really familiar with the works of John le Carré so this opener made me hoot out loud with laughter. Nobody could possibly write anything funnier.

Meanwhile A timeline cleanse: I went to change my snow tires to summer tires this afternoon... And discovered I've got a raccoon nursery in my shed.

Landlord: You're not getting your deposit back Me [petting one of my penguins]: Why

If anyone would like to see a photo of a baby Anteater having a cuddle with someone's arm, this is your lucky day.
