(I have not yet watched the 🏉 but I couldn't help but check the score and le sigh, I believed for a minute there.)

Left: Minimal line art drawing of a cat that is enclosed in a pink rectangle. Label: Kitten is completely full of crimes Right: the same cat art but twice the size. The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors

If you have time this weekend, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 gov are consulting on legislation to make eg Musk’s child sexual abuse image app illegal. It would be illegal to create or request a sex abuse image and the apps would be illegal. Please help show there is public support for this

"Imagination, I knew. Some evil inside myself pushed out into the trees. I knew what I knew, the mindless, mechanical bruteness of things, and when the harper's lure drew my mind away to hopeful dreams, the dark of what was and always was reached out and snatched my feet."

I fucking hate that every time violence against Jews happens I feel compelled to go on a threading and re-post spree defending us and begging you to believe we didn’t deserve it.

Next time I might not bother, frankly, because the heartless soulless response by non-Jews only gets worse, never better

A stark, simple scene dominated by luminous pearly yellow sky over a Kent Lane. Oast houses stand in near silhouette and the countryside is dotted with Elm trees and some early fruit trees in blossom.

Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

ok I will stop fiddling with this now

It is absolutely ridiculous and I love it! So glad it's still there after 20 odd years and hasn't been turned into some neutral decor bland nothing

On the right of the image is a sheer cliff face marked with vertical striations; talus lies at its base. The left of the image is in almost total darkness, and the background is deep space.

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

It's about 1 km tall.

If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

The top of the bar where a faux greek balcony supports a faux classical statue of Bacchus, wine cup in hand and a couple of nymphs either side of him with amphorae

A faux medieval crypt with a faux stone knight monument

Dramatically lit bust of a green god, probably Bacchus again

The entrance into the Egyptian room with a Tutankhamen bust above. You can just see the tops of columns and faux tomb art but I cropped it so the people sitting in there weren't included

I didn't take any photos because I felt too awkward but my other half did:

"Even when we believe we are free, we can still be haunted."

This piece by @rosasparks.bsky.social is your food for the day.

Inspector lebrock by Bryan talbot. An anthropomorphic badger in the London police force in an alternative history where the UK was occupied by Napoleonic France.

Just a thought, but has anyone suggested putting @bryan-talbot.bsky.social 's inspector lebrock as the badger on the new banknotes?

Tapir? Goofy friend you could lean against as you read and maybe only occasionally snaffles a snack when you're not looking

Just went to my favourite batshit bar in Birmingham, the Bacchus Bar. It's got Greek statues, it's got a mock medieval tomb, it's got an Ancient Egyptian room. I'm so happy it's still there and still just as batshit as I remembered

Potoooooooo Potoooooooo or variations of Pot-8-Os was an 18th-century British thoroughbred racehorse who won over 25 races and placed higher than some of the most prominent racehorses of his time. He went on to be an important sire, whose leading runners included Epsom Derby winners Waxy, Champion, and Tyrant.

Potoooooooo was an 18th-century British racehorse whose name was pronounced like “Potatoes” (Pot-eight-Os). [en.wikipedia.org]

Back in the 1990s I was an electrician in the film industry. The only woman doing the job successfully & consistently in the uk.

I made a show about it called “She’s Electric”… but I couldn’t fit all my anecdotes into one show so I’ve recorded a few as extras.

LOOK AT HER EATING

What happened is I mentioned this absurd idea to a BBC producer and now I am writing an afternoon play for Radio 4 called THE CALL OF CTHUDO, to be recorded sometime in June with (ideally) various Green Wing alumni doing their best 1930's detective voices.
