This is now living in my head to the tune of “How Deep Is Your Love?”

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

This is the end and you could not guess in a million years the start

Not seen: A farmer with a boat and a bag of grain scrumpling up his plans and throwing them away in a tearful fit of defeated pique

More songs should start like Monkey Gone to Heaven. "There was a guy." Ok I'm listening, what's this guy up to

I think the world of political reporting would be improved greatly if journalists were allowed to end their questions with "...you fucking idiot?" more often.

"Why are you doubling down on this immigration policy, you fucking idiot?"

"Why chase the Reform vote, you fucking idiot?"

etc.

Thank you.
I did also like that article recommended a vintage ice cream scoop!

Thank you! I was reading that article earlier & thinking what might be best to get. I do like a personalised recommendation tho.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Love this from my friend so yes! bsky.app/profile/magi...

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

Oh god, today I’ve been collaborating on a doc with someone called Ronald an my mind was at RoLAND all the flipping time.

Grange Neuve is the first years to Grange Hill, right?

🤣🤣🤣

Result!

I love this. I never knew I could love an Icelandic Fish Festival story this much. And yet here we are 🇮🇸 🐠 🇮🇸

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.

I love this so much I can even say. Thank you for sharing!

Have just descibed Phil Wang’s ‘tache as Wozniak-esque #GBM

A stone in the ground with the words ‘WTF 1620’ carved into it.

When you think it’s home time but there’s still 40 minutes to go.

Reading Gilbert White’s diaries. Inspiring, evocative stuff. Here’s his entry for today.

“25th February. Crocuses in flower. Frogs spawn in the pond. Goldcrest sings ‘FUCK OFF WINTER’.”

This is quite understandable!
Even now, I still looked it up to check.

#GBM is one of my few tv happy places. So glad it’s back.

“Knock knock!”

“Who’s there?”

“The seeds of a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the Irano-Turanian Region.”

“Ah, cumin.”

I have an utterly vile work afternoon/evening. I’m holding myself together quite tightly to not cry. So, unexpectedly, that was terrible and thank you.

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this
