It’s the worst 🤣

Lots of kids in his class got Italian brainrot figurine advent calendars and I had to put my foot down and say no because (a) I didn’t want plastic crap littering the house and (b) they were such bad quality.

He was happy with his chocolate one anyway!

Tung Tung Tung Sahur? Indonesian yes, but has been considered part of that group for a while.

Italian brainrot was never actually Italian anyway - just folk taking the piss.

A small boy posing on a wooden staircase. He has a fake moustache and is dressed like Harry Wormwood, Matilda’s dad in the book Matilda by Roald Dahl. He has the rim of a straw hat stuck on his head with his hair peeking out of the top and is wearing an orange plaid shirt, a rubber duck print tie, a black corduroy jacket and green trousers. He is carrying a copy of Matilda and he looks annoyed. He’s trying to channel Danny DeVito’s portrayal.

Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.

Pandering to a minority of extremists to create more extremists, is it.

I so want to send the people that are doing this on a walk in someone else shoes tv program, yet fear they would learn the wrong lessons and gain further working knowledge on how to be even more evil from the junta.
