Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy
An incredibly lifelike illustration of Paddington Bear, official psychopomp to the British royal family, gently escorting a man in top hat and tails (carrying a Puzza Express takeout) to Belmarsh

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place.

Loving "I Want Out" by My Turning Point... @MTP
Somehow angry shouty anthem and euphoric uplifting at the same time.

It's an old joke, but if you phone up your local cinema to find what time they're showing Melania - The Movie they'll ask what time can you make it.
Not a single seat for any of the 14 showings has been sold at Vue in Castleford - I checked.

I AM the Paul Taylor who has created AarDHD, a project focused on producing functional audio to support focus and calm, particularly for people with ADHD.

[Original post on mastodon.me.uk]
A bald man with a long beard that fades from natural ginger to purple sits in a home music studio. He wears large black-framed square glasses and a dark grey t-shirt reading "Actually Autistic" in yellow and orange text. Behind him, a computer monitor displays the AarDHD "Flow State" artwork featuring the flowing symbol logo and line-drawn aardvark. Studio monitor speakers flank the screen, and the desk holds various equipment including a colourful mechanical keyboard and an "ADHD" sign, suggesting a creative workspace tailored to neurodivergent needs.

Everybody shut the fuck up and pay attention to the most important thing happening at this moment.
An instagram post by Sarah Michelle Gellar, where she shares a screenshot of a tweet by user @godimsuchadyke. The tweet is a photo of Buffy and Faith standing close together lesbianly from Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the caption "this was my heated rivalry". Sarah thanks user @godimsuchadyke in the caption of her post.

Uruguay's electricity grid going 100% renewable in just five years proves how quick and easy the transition can be, and therefore how the failure of other countries to do the same is inexcusable
