Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Older Serbs are, in my experience, authoritarian and vilulently racist (see Milosovic). Younger Serbsw are much mmore progressive. Fingers crossed this goes the right way.

Serbia hasn't had huge attention in the West in recent years, but has headed down a nasty authoritarian path under the Serbian Progressive Party. Today's election marks its most substantial pushback yet, as student protesters have organised a list for the election could very much come first. 🧵 👇

Dinner tonight: Tesco Chinese meal for 2. Chicken Chow Mein, Sweet & sour chicken, egg fried rice, veg spring rolls, and prawn crackers. We were disappointed with the Indian version (far too sweet) so fingers crossed this is better.

Never mind prices in the real world. Pay attention to my imaginary foreign policy accomplishments.

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Wrote yesterday about the weirdo suing me in Wyoming for $795m. Lots of you offered to help crowdfund my defence. That's very kind, but the lawsuit isn't very serious, it won't cost very much, and I can afford it. Not everyone is in that position...

asked if Trump directed him to sue Alaska, Blanche says "I will not talk about communications I have with the president" (So, yes, Trump did)

When I was working in Vietnam, the Aussie Embassy held Friday Night Drinks around the pool. At a time when humidity was about 95%, I can't tell you how popular the combination of Aussie beer/wine/snacks and a swim was with the small expat community.

Built in 1918, the outdoor swimming pool was a prominent feature at CHARLIE CHAPLIN’s studio complex in Hollywood. It served as both a place where staff could relax & unwind under the hot Californian sunshine, and as a set (for films like ‘Shoulder Arms’).

Nothing says 'we are all behaving lawfully' like pre-emptive pardons.

Exclusive Senior Advisor to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman: "As a result of her participation, I guess she caught the attention of the pope, which is great. And a few days she stepped in and supported her efforts, which is very nice. But ultimately it was the First Lady ... "

As a former prime minister, Liz Truss is a significant political figure. But after branding the Financial Times part of the 'deep state' and describing the left as 'Islamo-communist', she has clearly degenerated into a full-on gibbering rightwing whackjob.

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Lucy has been out for a wee so is, I hope, in for the night as I suspect it will be pretty grim weather tonight. Enjoy The Traitors and the Masterchef Australia final if you are watching. 🍷
