if your money was on "oh my god you unbelievable dipshit why did you embarrass me on international television we are obviously not getting back together" congratulations please come collect your winnings

For some reason, I’ve just remembered this, and I’m cross all over again.

Actually, Bibendum is the name of the guy who runs the tyre shop.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. “Does anyone know what time we might finish today?”

What if it’s all the ambassadors, and this one only came to light because of the thing? A worldwide network of corruption and ferrero rocher.

Extremely brave, to jump into enemy territory. R.I.P. (#OTD in 1945, SOE agents Violette Szabó, Cecily Lefort, Denise Bloch were killed by firing squad in concentration camp Ravensbrück. SOE agent Lilian Rolfe was gassed. #WW2 #HISTORY)

And fun, too!

Congrats @nickfthilton.bsky.social on the Melania review for @the-independent.com - she is "a scowling void of pure nothingness". Top notch.

My traditional winter triffid has arrived. This one is an albino, so maybe I need to take extra care. Radiotherapy mask still needs antlers. Suggestions welcome.

Short ribs in the oven overnight. Is 130 degrees fan for 6 hours ok?

Hopefully the blue plaque in Hallam Street will have a sturdy set of hooks to hang hotel keys from.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Never, never, ever, bloody anything, ever.

I’ve been trying to speak to someone at the national lottery today, for dull reasons, but I’ve now been on hold for more than an hour while I potter around doing other stuff. What if I’m on hold to an empty building, and they’ve all legged it to the Bahamas with the money?

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

I have been listening to this again a lot recently.

This is one of those stories where the headline is perfect, any more detail would probably ruin it for me.

Shamelessly sharing this. Robin wrote some lovely words about Cancer on Board, which is my grownup alter ego.

Can we do this with hedgehogs?

I just thought everyone should see this

Is someone ever going to actually call him out for saying stuff like this?

My mom’s BF sent me a t-shirt

once when i was little, a man at the supermarket was buying like a hundred packs of batteries & when i asked him why he said, “once you start flushing these down the toilet for fun, you just can’t stop” and i think this one interaction shaped me more than everything both my parents ever said to me

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Working very hard tonight.

Your second favourite aircraft?

Holy Diamond Jubilee! On this day in 1966, ABC's iconic BATMAN series starring Adam West debuted on American television; a second episode concluding the action aired the next night—same Bat-time, same Bat-channel

I'm excited to announce the official Nullschool app is here! earth.nullschool.net on mobile browsers works fine, but the app is nicer. Full screen display, persistence across sessions, text size that matches device settings. Even landscape works well. And, like the website: no ads! Links below ⬇️

I would have tidied the garden if I knew I was going to get visitors.

Conflicting commands filled my feed but I didn’t pay attention.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.
