Wait until Trump finds out what Jonathan Meades, correctly, said about him on the BBC some years back.

Dunning Kruger defecting to Reform is another win for nominative determinism

Brilliant.

As it’s #WorldSwiftDay here is a montage of Swift photos I’ve taken. One of the most challenging birds to capture in flight as they are super fast and turn on a sixpence. They are one of my favourite birds and I love to listen to them “ screaming” over the rooftops ❤️

Happy to share our latest study on (Un)intentionality bias in action observation! We found that people perceive ambiguous actions as intentional—especially when posture aligns with the goal. This bias shifts with schizotypal cognitive traits. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

At least we have this to look forward to…

And yes, I did go to the beach. Once.

And another....

there has to be something severely wrong with you psychologically to sit there while people bull shit you like this

Finally, the correct tariff formula (from Private Eye)

Brilliant...

Once a cunt, always a cunt. Johnson, a bumbling parody who in a nasty & snide way tooled himself a political career, despite being fake & phoney. A self-aggrandizing ruling class oik who fails to understand the rest of humanity. The arse-end of a pantomime horse. Desperate and irrelevant #STFU

Good. Fuck off.

The suffering that will be unleashed on Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos is horrific. And that's not because they have "raped" America. It's because they're poor, they can't afford many US goods but they can become wealthier by exporting to rich countries.

When I said - 'Fuck you, Vice-president Couchfucker' I didn't even mention Vance. I meant some other random Vice-President Couchfucker.

Jeff Bezos is a dick.

Jack Reacher describing how I make PB&J sandwiches: “He spreads peanut butter on both faces before applying the jelly. Smart. Prevents the moisture in the jelly from soaking the bread. Doesn’t make a difference if you eat it right away, but if you’re saving it for later? Guy knows what he’s doing.”

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

This one is wild...

Fuck with your dad by looking at his thermostat setting and saying "wow somebody likes being comfy"

Wow. Just listen to this from Canadian MP, Charlie Angus on Trump's tariffs: “The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator”

It's Telegraph Logic Day.

This is well worth a read

Yep

Watching every Tory/Reformite now toadying up to Trump. Their grim sycophancy ties them to all Trump’s acts of degeneracy, to his cruelty, personal greed and ruinous prejudice. It exposes their disloyalty to us and their readiness to undermine our country and our democracy. Keep the receipts.

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

They’re all eating each other. Very funny to watch.

“I will not touch bread if it’s moist.”

Excellent, clear analysis
