I’m sick of YouTubers acting as though peekaboo is a puzzle with a correct “answer”. The questions raised by Mother’s work, and the discussion they stimulate, are the whole point.

There’s no specific date for this one, but *during* May 1961 Italian artist Piero Manzoni shat in some tins, so I think we can all agree that – precise or otherwise – this is a 65th anniversary that simply cannot go unmarked 🧵

gamers love to complete "optional objectives"

i can Phil it Collins in the air tonight

the older i get the more i've come to detest Adolescent Novelty Electronics as a genre. guys who love furbies and gameboys and incessantly reference pokemon and plastic toys and other shit. emotional depth of a puddle. yes i'm subtweeting the guy who broke BDS to score nul points

It’s the 51st anniversary today of one of the most marvellous examples on record of life (almost) imitating art, when #OTD in 1975, far-right wanker Colin Jordan, former chairman of the ‘British Movement’, was up in court for nicking ladies’ underwear from Tesco 🧵

As a parent, you want kids music to have explicit lyrics. Imagine they’re listening to a song about workplace safety and it goes “Maybe have something on your eyes when using an angle grinder.” What!? The artist should explicitly sing “You must wear safety goggles when operating rotating equipment.”

Some players said the rats in my game were too cute so they didn't want to fight them. I think I found a solution:

Spotted on Tumblr…

Parasite in chief in his idiot hat.

we'll see how the day plays out but it does sort of seem like starmer learned exactly one lesson from the corbyn years: mass resignations can be pretty much ignored if you want

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

jess phillips going for world record number for number of times the word 'resign' and its derivatives appears on her wikipedia page

how many steps would be required for corbyn to somehow get on the ballot for the labour leadership election. 'defection' to labour, followed by PLP nomination, right? i know its impossible but it would be insanely funny

Starmer's resignation is not enough. What needs booting out is the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war. My piece for Tribune. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/05/star...

This is what a video model does when it is told not to reference the training data (like literally: not prompted, but turning off the classifier free guidance). I gave it a noise seed from elsewhere and it just grinded on through. Most looked like some form of this. I like them.

if im completely honest i dont really care if starmer goes or stays, apart from spite. he's useless but so is the entire PLP. there's no Good Option. i think burnham is a fucking dead ender too, even if they manage to choreo him in. i dont have much hope for the UK right now and havent for some time

an extra frustrating wrinkle with starmer's potential end is that so many people have resigned their memberships that a leadership election is no longer inevitably going to force at least some pandering to the left, as starmer had to when he first got the job

This faction split, briefed against the party, wrecked, gifted us with Boris Johnson and the hardest possible Brexit, all so they could wrest control of the party and immediately pilot it directly into a mountain. For no reason.

Decided to let an alleyway pick dinner.

I do think a lot of the pointed publicity on Microsoft's dealings in Israel came from BDS specifically, so this is legitimately a huge victory for the movement

Your quote posts when the take hits wrong & activates the Hoard

blindly quote tweeting every post about definitive millennial songs to say i don’t know any of these. quoting every fit pic to say it’s too expensive and jeans are fine. quoting every meal photo to say i prefer a burger. when i shut my eyes i see a sunset and i loathe it

Oh my God! JC! A bomb!

i heard in america they have these things called suburbs and they’re really interesting to make art about

The author sent me a copy, and it's really something to behold in person.

Just took 93yr Mum to vote, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which box for boob hypnosis?" A cheer went up from waiting voters

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Just played a CD.. All the songs were mixed to the same volume and, get this, no adverts at all. I'm telling you, this is the future.

It’s National Cartoonist Day. So here again, for those who might need a reminder, is the best cartoon ever made. By B. Kliban.

Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

i sort of hope that the movie about the one night a year it’s legal to have sex manages to have a bit of shelf life as a punchline, like the beach that makes you old

tinned fish (grilled), miso soup (just bang a splodge of paste in some water on the stove), rice (from rice cooker), kimchi. if you vary up the fish this’ll do you for several meals a week without getting tedious. double up the rice in the cooker and fridge half for fried rice later in the week.

you look like an art piece from the rain and sauce era

Someone said these were the inverse of each other and I can’t stop thinking about it

oh no how's she gonna pay her denim bill

Dykes, sapphics, etc: I'm writing a piece about how "divine feminine"/"high-value dating" language & ideology is creeping into our communities. I wanna hear your experiences, have you been seeing more of this on your feeds, on the apps, irl? How does it make you feel? Drop me a DM :)

Bring back the ancient knowledge

Millennial humor is doing a review of something bad like a failed pop-tart and saying it “tastes like if Capn Crunch voted Republican”. Zoomer humor is sending someone online a photo of the inside of their house.

the other day i was walking through the park and the ground was littered with dead bees. asked the ranger about it and he said that they’re mining bees who live alone underground and all tend to wake up at once, and sparrows / great tips know this and will feast on them, hollowing them out for food.

despite best efforts to speak with those responsible, staff on-site inspecting said it was just the wind, or must have been their imaginations

it's called wildflower meadow and it's intentional and you're not supposed to go in there, it's a haven for biodiversity in an urban environment and it promotes pollinators & butterflies
