Joel,

I was watching Cunk on Earth last night and the line about The Titan 1 C becoming the world's first single-use submarine nearly made me wet myself. Incredible stuff. I'd like to see A.I. try to get me to the point of urinal incontinence.

"We are awash in bullshit. And while Bannon famously advocated a 'flood the zone with shit' strategy, it was supposed to be a way to overwhelm the opposition, not a prelude to diving in headfirst. The shit was supposed to be a weapon … but today it’s the stream that carries the GOP forward."

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

For the uninitiated, this is an allusion to the brilliant Tony Hancock in "Twelve Angry Men" written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

Such a pity that the Washington reporter did not reply "A brave Hungarian peasant girl" in answer to Trump's "Who?".

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

In 1879, ‘Punch’ predicted video calls: In this cartoon, parents ‘set up an electric camera obscura over their bedroom mantel-piece, and gladden their eyes with the sight of their Children at the Antipodes, and converse gaily with them through the wire’.

Here's one for you:

Why are hairdressers good at reducing their costs?

You can have that one.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
