When he's right, he's right. BP and Ogilvy & Mather (for it was they) we're looking at you

What the latest Trump lunacy actually reveals is that Americans are denied one of history's greatest dad jokes... Why are there no painkillers in the jungle? Because the Tylenol... It just doesn't work. No wonder so many of them seem so angry all the time.

Pump me full of 80 different vaccines...

Getting ready for tomorrow's rapture like The Man From Mars at the start of the Blondie video... youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

Foxes 0 - Chickens 1

Water, water, everywhere And nothing else to talk about... Though "Gleidearnach" a "downpour of rain that seems combative or war-like" seems like a genuinely useful word. search.app/MKqws

Cockadoodlewoof?

The combined efforts of MI5, MI6, the CIA, MOSSAD, CI5, SPECTRE, HYDRA, Austin Powers and Illya Kuryakin couldn't have done more to sabotage this lot than they've done to themselves. I'm assuming Sultana was so keen on "The Left Party" name because she knew it would be the (next) party she left

Oh the stupid... IT BURNS! IT BURNS!!!

So it's not Farage (because he's never in Essex) and Trump is in Buckinghamshire... How many bloody Russian spies are there in England right now,?

"I'm a little teapot..."

Catching up on tonight's Masterchef... ... Olivia has gone. I am going to miss her natural exuberance and unfailingly cheerful demeanor. (Her unironic cry of "Mamma Mia!" when she got through the first round was my highlight of the series.)

"Don't worry, Dave, I've not forgotten Smashy and Nicey — Whitehouse and Enfield will die. I will avenge you! ... Could you tweak my nipple a little harder? ... Oh. That's it..."

The discourse is all around deradicalising young men and the crisis among young men. The discourse would be much better targeted if it was about deradicalising boomers (and increasingly Gen Xers).

"Typewriter?" "It's like a phone, but with buttons and paper." "Buttons? ... Paper?"

The soul-sucking stupidity of this is painful... US energy chief tells BBC nuclear fusion will soon power the world www.bbc.com/news/article...

As The Housemartins once sang: It may seem strange but he'd admit Intentions aren't exactly true And though God loves his wife a bit He hates the farmer through and through Irish farming seems to include a statistically significant over representation of utter dicks. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A man walks into a Jobcentre. Doreen, behind the counter, shakes her head, but more in resignation than sadness or anger. "You again?" "I can explain!" "Oh, Peter..."

They are knocking down The Fort bar in Dungannon... Rest in peace, old friend.

Someone give this guy a fucking massive prize.

Watched Jim Hoskings "Ebony and Ivory" ("about" Stevie Wonder's visit to A SCOTTISH COTTAGE! to meet Paul McCartney). Would have worked—and been funnier—as a skit on a Reeves & Mortimer or Mighty Boosh show. But liked Andrew (Fuck Buttons) Hung's Amiga-style soundtrack & I fancy a veggie 'nugget'.

It's funny cos it's true...

ChatGPT was only pretending to write a book? Wow, it really is human.

Aargh! Aargh! Emergency! Emergency! (That was a test, right? I didn't actually read the message)

Well holy god... After (approximately) three hundred years of waiting it seems Microsoft may finally be about to introduce sensible shortcuts for the em and en dashes. Truly these are the end times share.google/iDhRh85tc3gX...

PTSD flashbacks... ... there's nothing less united than a United Front.

Free at last... Free at last... Thank god almighty, I am free at last. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/s...

I have loved In Our Time for years. The best of the BBC. Will miss Melvyn Bragg, but if the BBC wants someone to sit in a studio and chat about a load of interesting stuff with smart people, I'd be happy to volunteer.

I hope the new Green leader is going to do a tour of the UK where he talks to voters about local issues. "Roamin' Polanski" They should definitely call it that.

An alternative political viewpoint.

Speaking of Bloomsbury wildlife, would anyone like my pitch for a children's book about a family of erudite badgers who live under the British Museum... "The Bloomsbury Sett*⁰ is a surefire hit.

Jonnie Walker is a bartender? Of course he is. #Mastermind

Storm Wubbo is a really hard to find Star Wars action figure.

£55m for Wissa with one year left on his contract? Brentford have mugged Newcastle. It's true, London is a crime-ridden hellhole.

I am unashamedly going to keep plugging my daughter's YouTube channel... ...who else is going to show you the roundabout where Boudica is buried (possibly). youtu.be/54yeHGEaNds?...

Such a pathetic, hopeless, thing to lie about.

Excuse the reposting. Thanks for the positive comments from those who have already had a look.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

So my daughter has created a series of short documentaries "History On Your Doorstep" - looking at archaeology/history research in St Albans. If you have some spare time, give them a watch here: www.youtube.com/@HistoryOnYo... And maybe help her out with feedback docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I was going to do one of these, but sometimes you've just got to concede that the form has already been perfected... "We're just normal hobbits, we're just innocent hobbits..."

Going on Fox to announce his own death would be the ultimate Trump moment...

No, no, he's pining for the fjords

Loved this both as a bit of writing and philosophy. Nice work @barneyronay.bsky.social

Cattle rustling in Sixmilecross... ...round up the posse, we'll cut them off at Poyntzpass! BelfastTelegraph.co.uk share.google/TPtHlJTi3au5...

Woltemade looked very good in the U21 Euros but £64m is a shitload of money being spent by a desperate club for a kid with half a good season...

Der Sturmer Close?

To be fair to United... ...nope... ...nope... ...can't think of anything... Just laughing my guts out.

The tyranny of metrics is a greater threat to civilization than Attila and his Huns ever were...
