In Dutch, 'van' means from or of.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Dick Van Dyke.

Tune into my new podcast.

I think it's fantastic that The Hague prosecutes war criminals and also makes chocolates.

I was walking through my dark apartment last night when I stopped suddenly because I thought I was about to walk into a wall.

It turned out to be my fringe.

Never store your fruit in the fridge.
For best results, store it in the oven at 300 degrees celsius.

Very much enjoying the excellent debut Arseless Chaps album from @damiancowell.bsky.social and @tonymartin.bsky.social

Even though they cleverly omitted 5 tracks from the digital release:

My Webster Weighs A Ton, Clint Eastwood, Theme From 'Arseless Chaps' 1 & 2 and I'm in Love With the World.

People always seemed so surprised when a rich celebrity turns out to be right-wing. Yeah. They're rich. They're the ones the right is protecting. If you want to make a difference, don't be surprised, just get a few friends together and go and eat that celebrity.

In comedy classes, they say you should turn the joke back onto yourself to take the meanness out of it, so here goes:

"Wow - it sure sucks that I'm a senile, racist, misogynistic, narcissistic, psychotic sexual predator and also President of the United States."

'Maybe if I praise billionaires they'll give me some of their immense wealth!'

From the makers of, 'we can't tax the rich, in case I unexpectedly become rich one day'.
