They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Please don't post photos of dead children, or videos of dead children, or yell DONT LOOK AWAY. You are sick. Log off. Touch grass. You have PTSD and are inflicting it on us all. If you are not in media/ a conflict researcher/ etc you do NOT need to consume Horrors. Blocking lots right now.

Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up.

That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

Seville. Malaga is also fantastic.

IMO, this is by far the best 80s John Hughes teen flick, and he didn’t even direct it. The one film that still works from that small canon - thanks to Molly Ringwald digging her heels in and getting her man - and unlike the Breakfast Club, your kids might even understand it. A damn good Prom Com.

Quite glad that the big story in British politics is whether Andy Burnham will apply to stand in a by-election and not people being gunned down by state militias.

Solidarity with Minnesotans resisting this barbarity.

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland:

"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".

German is the main language of Switzerland.

What Europe could do is threaten to boycott the World Cup. It won't. But that might actually work. Trump wants his big show.

I have a plan to save movie theaters and it’s gonna work:

Double-price for phone-friendly showings. You can have your phone out the entire time, make calls, talk, bring young active children without fear of being judged.

Half-price for silent showings. Phone use gets you banned for six months.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

A Rush Hour Crush I got published on 7th January, 2015.

To the sexy Spanish snorita on the No.30 bus to Highbury. I loved our heated chat on Friday but realise what I did was insensitive to your country. I'm mortified. Please let me make up for it, over tapas or paella or whatever.

Things are awful, so a little treat for the real Crush-Heads. It is now eleven years since I got this printed in the Metro.

Billy Binion tweet, it reads:
"Politicians shgouldn't say "fuck" in public. Unbecoming, reeks of pick-me energy. You're the mayor. Act like it." 

It's QTing @Acyn who is quoting the Mayor Frey saying "I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn
