Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

Conversely, every win in spite of everything feels so much more significant - a “fuck you” to Y11 and the WRU so massive, it might as well be carved 100 feet high into the Mumbles headlands like a (more) profane Cerne Abbas Giant.
The last few Ospreys games have had me unbelievably hyper nervous without ever once thinking about the match itself. One bad performance could be enough for the WRU to justify their decision. It's bullshit but narratives set quickly and hard, especially when we don't have another game for a month.

Carrying on with the Guide to Griefstruck Eating in Paris to no surprise at all I am now having lunch at Brasserie Lipp. Some of you may remember I’m a fan but I’m not a *life long devotee* because the maitre d (who’s lovely) gave me an actual hug when he heard the news about Felix.

Hi Gorton & Denton, if you have anxiety, know that the Reform UK candidate, Matt Goodwin, thinks you have a mild mental health issue.
He doesn’t think you should be supported.

This is a good point re: Portland today
This wasn't on federal land
It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity
It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets
Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here
It's assault

People need to understand that this protest was approved by city. The fact that the public still got gassed & flash bangs shows that city does NOT have the public’s back.

The so-called russian "energy ceasefire" means bombing of other civilian facilities, like this maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia. Six people were injured, among them two pregnant women that came for the examination.
This evil cannot be appeased.
It must only be defeated.

Well, it’s the 264th anniversary today of a séance held to locate the elusive ghost Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane. There were many séances, in fact, because the noisy ghost was a media sensation, but only this one was attended by Samuel Johnson... 🧵

When the BBC says "The Crown Estate is an independent property company whose profits go to the Treasury", should "independent" be in inverted commas, or is that genuinely true?
