(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.

The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.

Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social πŸ‘

Strongly agree, there's some really really good comedians involved!

Just a reminder to grab The Sunday Times tomorrow for their free comic supplement! I think it might be a one off, but maybe if we all buy it they’ll consider doing comics more often πŸ™

Review Title:
Get Ready for the big time!

Review:
This is my first iron, I previously used a trouser press for everything from socks to blazers (to limited effect). This contraption has blown my mind, you glide it over the items of clothing that you want to be flat, and it pushes them into a more or less wrinkle-less form. I've advised all my clients to pick one up.

5 Stars

They asked for a photo of the product, and I obliged. Here's my iron working well on a Snoopy tie, on a park bench.

Argos just asked me to review an iron I bought a few weeks ago, and sometimes we all deserve a little treat.

Might get this made up as a T-shirt for Phoenix Fest. The kids will love it!

I was asking @emmadawn.com about it recently. Also everyone has to watch Australia season 2.

I still need to give the English speaking version a go! I’ve watched so many regional variations.

The one thing the Green Party really really need to do is rebrand. Clamp down on the weird fluorescent green cardboard signs that pop up, have one solid identity, and stop it looking like a hangover from head shops and hippy shit from the 1970s and 80s.

Nice counter to some of the apathy boiling up on here lately. You can fix things by pointing at them and saying β€˜nah’. Anyone saying otherwise is working against your (and probably also their) best interests.

Congrats to Ray-Ban for making their brand synonymous with pervs.

I did go audiobook + physical book with those wonderful Twin Peaks books they released around 2017. So much effort was put into both versions. The first book was half scrapbook and the audio was Twin Peaks cast, so putting the two together was amazing.

Yes. It was an invasive procedure, but worth it to be able to β€˜hit the bell’ by dabbing.

Ooooh, the main difference it's made for me is a large increase of existential dread. For the future of creativity, the health of the planet, and the effect on peoples brains.

This was one of my favourite things in Japan. I bought quite a few hot sweet potatoes from weird shops. An absolute delight.

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion
