Yes, great one.
Really hard. The second guessing starts to drive you mad.
Oh yes, excellent one. And chucking Girlfriend in a Coma into the mix.
Oh, the greatest example.

The Quantity Theory of Morality is very much apiece with that mania. The book is a coruscating satire about a group of metropolitan sophisticates trapped in an endless round of backbiting, gossip, infidelity and self-loathing. The accoutrements and trappings of middle-class bourgeois life - their eating and drinking habits, interior decoration foibles, villa holidays in La Spezia, and "those canvas FjΓ€llrΓ€ven backpacks some middle-class women inadvisably adopt as a handbag, although it makes them look like very, very mature students" - are all viciously savaged.

This untitled collage by Boty belonged to Derek Boshier. After his death in 2024 it was shown briefly at Frieze before disappearing into a private collection.
It's the one Boty shows Peter Blake in Pop Goes the Easel.

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign
I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.
Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job

Book: High-Tech Britain - Buildings of the space age by Geraint Franklin
East Croydon station in glorious sunshine
Inmos, Newport
At last! A book dedicated to the bristling silhouettes of Britain's High-Tech architecture - possibly our greatest export. Congratulations to @geraintfranklin.bsky.social
With all-original photography by John East. Especially love East Croydon looking heroic in bright sunshine.
This is how to answer that toxic question (With slightly different wording if youβre not actually the governor of Minnesota)
At the same time, she conceded that the apronβs four-figure price tag complicated things. βIfΒ an apron becomes an object that only aΒ few can access, it naturally shifts from being a tool into a symbol. And that raises an interesting tension: does it still belong toΒ the act of working, or does it become something that represents work?β (Miu Miuβs aprons are handwash-only.)Β
