Cut to Paddington as Mr Burns going 'Excellent'.

Lurgy. Urgh. I feel awful.

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

All these claims of vote switching on the machines in the States, assuming it is true - how can they ever be sure of a fair election again?

Space X up a huge amount in pre-market trading. Musk's latest grift is very popular it seems.

House of Games prize time....

Bot posts on Threads now at incredible levels, think i am done with that place.

Very, very cold winter. Painted by my colleague Lucas van Uden, whose birthday was today.

Velvetiser is out!

Watched 'A Man For All Seasons' last night, first time in many years. Still a brilliant film, so many great performances - Schofield and Shaw, of course, as More and Henry are sparkling but i particularly enjoyed Wendy Hiller this time as Alice, she is fabulous.

These French riots are a gift to Trump - Threads (and i assume X is even worse) is flooded with anti immigration posts about them by Trump bots - what was it about a lie being halfway around the world?

Do restaurants charge a cover charge on top of service charge now? I have a mystery 1.99 added to lunch CC charge that was not on the physical bill, nor on the transaction i paid on the app so NOT the amount i agreed to - can they just do that? This was The Ivy Asia in Leeds. #food #restaurants

Wild over on Threads now, the bot farms are back up and running and then some - and it is wall to wall Trump propaganda and flying cars. America is absolutely fucked.

A couple of night scenes from one of our finest painters- John Atkinson Grimshaw (as seen in Leeds art gallery today - a local boy).

Day off so going to eat good food, bit of shopping, and look at some art.

that time the police forgot the word trousers

Brighten up dull cocaine by snorting it through a curly straw.

Impressive as this all is, does that mean he said he shared their pain or their bread?

AI execs: “Our product is going to kill you 🥰😘” the general populace: “we don’t think you should do that” AI execs, dancing on a yacht powered by orphans: “Yooouuurre gonnnaaa diiiieee🎶🎵” everyone else: “i really don’t like this” AI execs, frolicking atop a mountain of skulls: “Why so hostile??”

THREAD. A story, in 20 photos and captions, about a uniquely wonderful cat, who has improved my life considerably over the last few years...

That White House press briefing

There are some right looks on 1977 Mastermind on BBc4 right now 👀

'Cast Shadows,' (1891) is the perfect example of Emile Friant's paintings during the late 19thC, the majority show a sympathetic theme that stresses devotion and personal reflection, a specific meaning or mood akin to some religious works by William Bouguereau.

Lily gently boops Kinley with her nose to wake her from a nap, the universal signal that walk time has arrived

Andy Garcia just popped up as a 'tough' in the first ever Murder, She Wrote 😊

@hookland.bsky.social The drain covers in Japan are surely portals.

Was going into town but 'A Matter of Life and Death' started so that was the end of that.

All of it or just a boner part?

Gubernatorial is such an odd word - always crops up a lot in American election season and it never fails to look out of place.

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Sent a mail saying 'looking forward to Tuesday porning' 😅 Well, you've got to live haven't you?

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

Jerry Orbach was so great in Law & Order, watching a random episode while i have my lunch and he is irresistibly good.
