The cuddly trio on top of our cd shelves always cheer me up.

Guardian headline saying 'Send support for schoolchildren in England to be given £4bn overhaul' with photo of Bridget Philipson.

That's an odd charity appeal in today's Guardian

this is a lovely thread

A photo that appears to have a "gettyimages" watermark but the watermark is actually painted directly on the bridge.

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.

But this one hit today.

And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

Greetings from Greenland.......

@theguardian.com I'm intrigued as to why this question appeared in the middle of the online survey about the Feast app.

My friends in Austria sent this and I can't stop watching...wait for the end. 🤗💜

Well there you go.

This is a Hall of Fame level post

Bloody hell.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Air-conditioning by Curved Air was a cracker.

Such a thrilling cover. I remember seeing it for the first time in a newsagents in, ooh, probably Aberfeldy.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

I don’t see how you are all acting so calm when this country is having to manage without a Duke of York.

Wonderful. A moment to remember Vonnegut's advice: "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is'.

I’m gonna start a cooking show where I make recipes I’ve never tried. I’m gonna call it 30 Minutes My Ass.

Excellent! As a mature chap, I really enjoyed this. It reminded me of the appalled realisation 10-15 years ago that I was already older than TV Doctors Who and Cameron (from Doc Finlay's Casebook) both of whom I remembered as being impossibly ancient.

Corner of a credit card with name and expiry date

A new credit card beckons me towards a new decade.

My dad told me a story about having a drink with Mr Lovell at some local dive bar when this sequence was being filmed for The Man who Fell to Earth back in the 1970's.
My dad said Mr. Lovell had a lot to say about space and what he saw there...
I'll leave it at that.
Rest in peace, spaceman.

Did you know? Supermassive black holes give out no light yet are the brightest objects in the universe. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my paperback A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen at random from those re-posting this blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro... @headofzeus.bsky.social

'"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?

I stood on Tony Blackburn's toe at the first ever Radio 1 Club in 1968.

Finally, I can post this video I've been hanging on to since somebody sent it to me.
