Post other people's funny, gags from pro comedians, and my own tat. New stuff every day. Also support outstanding investigative journalists and their work.

An apology from me to ALT text users.

I usually add descriptions which include humour to pics I upload, but I got some basics wrong:

It should NOT include:

"picture of"
"image of"

Screen readers announce an image as an image. “Image of a cat” would be read aloud as “image, Image of a cat”.

INTERVIEWER: You had a well respected career.

ME: That should say carer.

Banksy's 'Happy Chopper' first appeared in 2002 as a sprayed mural in Central London at the Whitecross Street Market.

Today, is the pink bow orange?

Assuring Venezuelans they'll be taken care of?
Running their country? Or ruining it?
While thieving their resources and leaving them nothing?

Happy Choppers. Banksy.

If anyone tries to deny what happened, Bellingcat is becoming exceptional at gathering evidence arrays which means they can't make it go away.

"One video shows what appears to be 9 helicopters, including 7 Blackhawks and 2 Chinooks, flying in formation in the Fort Tiuna area as explosions occur."
The US military conducted an operation on Jan 3 to capture President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela. Bellingcat geolocated videos of helicopters involved in the raid, piecing together potential movements of the assault force

A homeless guy asked me for some money today..

I looked in my pocket and all I had was a tenner.

"Do I really want this money going to drugs?", I thought to myself.

"Nah." So I gave him the tenner.

Just once you’d like to see an interviewer reply with “I’ll take that as you’re unqualified for your job and support the illegal action and move on…”

My car’s leaking oil on the drive, so if I get kidnapped in the next few days you know why.

First name Hugh.
Happy Hugh Janus, everyone.
January takes its name from the Roman god Janus, who had two faces & could look forwards & backwards at the same time. He was also the first god to ever join a gym, but only went three times in two millennia

My mum phoned me up excitedly to say a body has been found behind their house. She's been up pestering the police and everything. I love it how supposedly mild mannered old ladies go full Marple.

"It'd be funnier if you took a bath with it."

Supertanskiii doesn't just walk away. No, Ma'm. Supertanskiii fizzes and crackles Musk right up his X-hole.
Five years, 258,000 followers and much of that time enduring relentless abuse. Then, when musk took over, it escalated, extreme racism, extreme misogyny and zero guardrails.

Musk is a racist nazi nonce and I fucking hate him. This was my last comment and I wholeheartedly mean it

Nazaré, Portugal - give us a wave... no, not that big.
