Roger Rabbit's nemesis is also in attendance

⚡️ The Winter Paralympics have officially opened, and Russian athletes were booed.

They marched under their national flag for the first time since 2014, while the ceremony was boycotted by Ukraine, Austria, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Poland.

Now more than ever.

The third para here is also evidence of this.

Comedian Josh Widdicombe has revealed how one of the most memorable moments of his latest tour came courtesy of a furious fan in Swindon who stormed out demanding "more jokes". Speaking in a clip shared to his Instagram, Widdicombe recalls being mid-gig at the Swindon Wyvern Theatre when a man suddenly got up and walked out, loudly berating him on the way. The disgruntled audience member complained that the comic was spending too much time chatting to the crowd and not enough time delivering punchlines, reportedly shouting: "You're not doing any jokes – you're just talking to the audience. Do some jokes like Jimmy Carr."

Like Jimmy Carr. 😄

He should be in a care home. Off his weird little rocker.

Hahahahahaha you ridiculous fucking cunt

it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

BBC 'profoundly regrets' BAFTAs incident, says director general Tim Davie During the ceremony, as Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage, a racial slur was shouted out by Tourette's campaigner John Davidson, and broadcast by the BBC.

☄️ Four years ago, NASA purposely smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid to see if they could deflect it -- a test to prove humanity could protect Earth from threatening space rocks. New research out Friday says the experiment pushed the moonlet asteroid slightly off course

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Hey folks, any content designers or design systems people who contract, I’m trying to get a picture of the state of the market at the moment. Are you finding roles more or less prevalent than usual right now? And are rates lower, about the same, or higher than what you’re used to? DM me if easier

quote from the Catechism of the Catholic Church 239: "We ought therefore to recall that God transcends the human distinction between the sexes. He is neither man nor woman: he is God. He also transcends human fatherhood and motherhood."

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.

So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.

So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.

Got it.

I liked them both. Bigly.

My photo shows a Roman fresco of a brown rabbit with long ears, curled on the ground, with a rounded, soft-looking body. Its head is lowered as if nibbling at three figs placed in front of it. The figs are small and round with short stems, painted in dark reddish and bluish tones. From Pompeii. Now on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️

From Pompeii, 45-79 AD.

Now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. 📷 by me
