My brother died in a diving accident 26 years ago. It was sudden and devastating. If I’ve learnt anything about grief it’s represented by this photo. It becomes part of you. You don’t get over it, or through it. It becomes part of you and you grow round it. And you WILL smile and laugh again

There should be statues to this guy everywhere, because without him there wouldn’t be statues, or buildings, or any kind of sentient life on this planet anywhere. Genuinely the most consequential decision any human has ever made, and he made the right one. The pinnacle of humanity.

Not a royalist, but this kind of shit is good. #RIPDolly

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Bar Staff: Is Pepsi ok?

For the love of Jimi, would you all just buy something from this incredibly talented artist? I did, and look what I got to own 👇👇👇

‘I asked my toaster and the answer could surprise you’

Gru’s uglier little incel brother benefitting here from the fact he can’t see himself in any mirror…

You can’t argue with facts 👇👇👇

Hydration break… #ENGARG

The French must be thinking Laporte’s first name is ‘Fermer’ amirite? Is this something?… #FRAESP

If you take hypocrisy out of the Mail, you’re left with the sports pages…

I can’t help but think American-slanted Bluesky hasn’t quite got to grips with who (and what) Ann Widdecombe was…

I don’t believe in speaking ill of the dead, so in praise of Anne Widdecombe I’ll just say her death has undoubtedly increased the planet’s level of compassion and empathy

I’m assuming Lee Dixon had the same commentating coach as Andy Townsend. And by that I mean the bloke standing at the end of the bar that once coached an under-12 team, but this was before you needed badges and the nonce-checks… #ENGCRO

Fantastic gig last night in Camden watching Dylan’s Desire album being played in its entirety by some incredibly talented musicians. And @mrnishkumar.bsky.social…

Hahahahahahahahaha…. For fucks sake are you pricks for real? There’s no debate, they’re fucking not. And I say that as an entitled middle aged white bloke 🙄

‘Have I still got the gold ring? What do you fucking think you simpleton? But I’ll be the first one to better it, oh yes’s I will. It’s’ll never gets the better of my’s thoughts and broad words..’

If you’re Brit or Brit adjacent, you love this. Unconditionally.

Saw Jethro Tull live tonight. Fucking amazing, there’s nothing like them, who puts flute with rock and makes it sing? Now listening to Dylan’s Desire with a drink in hand….👌

Listening to the excellent @quietriotpod.bsky.social and Spotify’s woeful AI transcriptor has to be fair played a blinder here, especially given the subject matter. As I’m sure @sturdyalex.bsky.social has never said, it’s all Greek to me…

I wonder what the odds are on this fucker being burnt to the ground within a week?

And the loser SUN says they’ll do it FOR FREE!!! LEFT WING COMMUNIST DEMS will support this because they HATE hard-working oil executives and Arab billionaires, but AMERICA will NOT accept this. WE will create never ending clouds and end the so-called ‘SUN’ once and for all…

If you underinvest in our coastal communities this is what you get. Look out Clacton, you indifferently racist pricks….

So not asking about any ‘past’ conversations then? I’m sure they have perfectly legitimate reasons for not looking under that rock…

‘Quick we need to announce something the voters will love to distract from Mandelson! No, not OUR voters obvs, Farage’s…’

Starmer (or more likely McSweeney) chose Mandelson as US Ambassador BECAUSE of his links to Epstein, not in spite of them. Genius 3D chess move having that paedo in your mutuals to aid the Trump-whispering…

Rich people, you get bespoke tutoring by an individual who you will form a strong relationship with and who will understand your strengths, weaknesses and support needs. Poor people, you get a hallucinating jumped-up calculator that will guess at the answer and picture you in a bikini…

Does anyone know what Starmer believes? Does anyone know what Starmer cares about? Does anyone know what Starmer is driven by? Does anyone know what Starmer is PM for? The man is pathetic. We wanted change, we got beige… #byebyelabour

I mean, this beats a ballerina retraining as a fucking analyst

I’m assuming this officer is the only one that can a speak a second European language?

I can fully get on board with the theme tune to Cheers being effectively recommended public policy. And coincidentally makes me feel a lot better about the 4 hours I spent in the pub last night…🍻

Does it fuck. Up the Bru ✊🏻

When you’re a left wing, trade-union supporting dad, and your son grows up to be, if anything, further to the left than you…

It’s always the ones you most expect…

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting…charged with breaking & entering

Ok, it’s nearly Christmas, but we all know Cadburys Cream Eggs will be in the shops Boxing Day. With that in mind here’s some Easter art for everyone. Christian? Pagan? Chloe caters for all 🧔🏽‍♀️🐰

No.

Netflix just bought everything Warner Bros ever did or owned for £86bn. I’m not saying that’s good business, I’m just saying No-Friends Zuck is very bad at this…

New AI-generated Sarah Vine column just landed… #dailymail

Come on, somebody claim it’s actually white and gold…

This is up there with John Smeaton’s interview about pulling a burning terrorist out of his car to give him a kicking at Glasgow airport…✊🏻

‘You keep your umbrellas WHERE?

‘You get nothing for 2-in-a-bed, not in this game’

Be rude not to…

There’s going to be a hell of a lot of properties valued at £1,999,999 in 2028 then, as their owners desperately try to avoid paying what amounts to a 0.125% annual tax…

Ok @zackpolanski.bsky.social you’ve got my vote. Labour is dead as a left-leaning cooperative. They are a government of fearfulness, dread and despair. And now apparently racism and xenophobia is their only way out… That’s not the future I want for myself, my kids or my grandkids. #choosehope

I’m a middle-aged left-leaning anyone-but-Tory voter in a staunchly Tory (even now…🙄) constituency. Nothing about this makes me want to vote Labour. It’s pathetic and it’s racist. Immigration builds countries, but you morons can’t see that. Fuck the lot of you.

We’re all fucking mongrels, we’re all fucking brothers. As Bill & Ted said unto us, ‘Be cool to one another.

Narya Capital you say? Unusual name, wonder what made them pick that? Hey, maybe it’s an anagram of somethi…wait a minute… #fascists
