Straight line only?
Yes. We call them tits on sticks.

The Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham is a truly great venue. Any minute now, 10cc!
Thanks to @vennart666.bsky.social for introducing me to the unique moves of Luigi Primo, the pizza throwing wrestler
Exposed primary drive has to be the stupidest modification ever.
It's a brilliant image. There's so much fakery these days my instinct is to be suspicious, which takes all the joy out and is one of the worst things about AI.
A hot rod style custom car, which wouldn't be out of place in a movie such as Grease. Possibly based on a Ford Model T, it has a V8 engine with no engine cover/bonnet/hood. The chrome radiator carries the Ford logo. White wall tyres with chrome hub caps are also exposed, with no mudguards. Behind the cream-coloured firewall, the minimal bodywork is mostly black with a large number 54 in white on the door. A low straight windscreen is supported on cast aluminium brackets, and the interior is upholstered in red leather. Just the thing for cruising down the Santa Monica boulevard but less common on the mean streets of Netherfield, an insalubrious suburb of Nottingham.
Things you don't expect to see in the Lidl car park.

Call me cynical (I am) but it almost looks like AI
Hahaha. Haha. Hahahahaha.
Isn't there always limited availability?
I thought we all agreed to call it Operation Epstein Fury?
A reminder to fellow Brits that #winter isn't done with us yet.
Last week included the first Fool's Spring of 2026; today and tomorrow may be second. We still have Blackthorn Winter, the Spring of Deception, Arctic Surprise, False Hope, and Last Knockings of Winter to go before April.
Also seems remarkable that this bastion of humanity vs. machinery has a website with no option to decline cookies.
Guardian exclusive: One of the key witnesses the prosecution used against Lucy Letby, Peter Hindmarsh, was under investigation by the medical regulator when he gave evidence, due to serious concerns about his fitness to practise, including concerns that he had harmed his patients.

Tony Benn was the first politician I ever interviewed, when I was on the student rag at Sheffield and he represented Chesterfield. I just called his office and was put straight through.
Oh lordy the kerning on those makes my eyes bleed
Aye but the equinox is the same everywhere, and as you said that's the point when the seasons change.
Nice looking Bandit btw. Had a 1200S until a couple of years ago, Trident Sprint now.
The BBC obsession with its 'meteorological' seasons really winds me up. As far as I can tell it's just to make the statistics slightly easier to compile. Lazy bastards.
I had a sense that Dr Tori was being groomed to fill your digging boots. Thanks for all the great stuff, onwards and upwards (or downwards) for you both.
For somebody called Goodwin, he seems like a bad loser.
And a lost deposit. Happy days.
Sheesh. I scored 220-odd when I stood as an unknown no-hope candidate in 2010. Nobody had ever heard of me then or now.
Choose an issue of the day. Press the button. Get your own tailor-made right-wing existential crisis clickbait.
A recently-trimmed hedgerow occupies the lower two-thirds of the frame, with mixed woodland visible behind. To the left of centre a small bird with a bright yellow breast and brown wings sits, chirping in the pale sunlight of an early spring afternoon. This is a yellowhammer, Emberiza citrinella, not rare but less common than they used to be. The call of the yellowhammer is often said to be 'a little bit of bread and no cheese'.
Crappy phone pic of the bird I like to call the hedgerow canary, aka the yellowhammer, seen this afternoon. A little bit of bread and no cheese. #signsofspring
A male fire fighter lies on the floor, wearing a motorcycle helmet, with a female fire fighter squatting beside his right shoulder, her arms reaching towards him. Above his head another man, a civilian, reaches toward the helmet in preparation to remove it from his head. Helmet removal from a motorcycle casualty may be necessary to assure an unobstructed airway and hence survival, but is a tricky operation. Practicing this manoeuvre is a valuable part of the Biker Down training programme aimed at motorcyclists, who may be the first on the scene of a motorcycle accident.
Attended Biker Down training today, organised by Notts Fire & Rescue. Bikers may be the first on the scene of a motorcycling accident; this course provides valuable guidance on managing the situation and providing first aid. Very worthwhile, hope I never need to put it into practice.

...and did those feet, in ancient times, walk upon Scotland's beaches bare?
Today's nerdish delight: measuring the in-flight speed of a cormorant.
Me, in my car, driving along a stretch of straight road alongside the river Trent.
Cormorant, on the wing, flying parallel and perhaps 8m away.
Judicious adjustment to the throttle to match speeds.
The result? 40mph.
