Noticed a free to use sensory booth thing in my local shopping centre today, pretty cool idea

Just seen the trailer for the film and was reminded it's been a while. Feels quite autumnal as well actually.

My other half thinks we're going to have some wholesome family time, but I know for mine I'm going to mix up a load of pink and paint a hairy testicle on one side and a boob on the other

"It shows that there's no age limit for development."

Angry eye twitch is twitching
A tweet from a Bayern fan account quoting the Union Berlin manager Steffen Baumgart, "Harry Kane is a player who's mainly judged by his goals. But I think what's really working in Bayern's favour right now is the quality of Harry Kane's passes and the way he plays them. I've rarely seen a striker who can develop into such a complete player. I take my hat off to him. It shows that there's no age limit for development."

The Aardman animation made flesh that is Rory Stewart, he's crouching and petting a pair of dogs most prominently a border collie, wearing typical English country gent attire, and is in front of what appears to be an old cottage/farmhouse

Saw Erykah Badu for the first time last night and it lived up to every single one of my expectations. Masterful performer. Still feeling blessed
Erykah Badu on stage, she's standing in front of a screen with an orange moon on it performing the song of the same title from her album Mama's Gun. She's wearing thigh high puffy black boots with a red fabric tied round her waist and a grey/black t-shirt. She's got her arms crossed over her chest

A 2016 article headline on a google search from Philadelphia Magazine it reads: "Millenials Ruining The Workforce" and the sub header is "At work, on the playing field, in the world of ideas, young folk aren't content to take their turn at the bottom of the pile anymore" Screengrab from Talking Heads video for 'Once In a Lifetime" . It's a close up of David Byrne's sweaty face wearing horn rimmed glasses. The song lyric "Same as it ever was" is along the bottom of the screen
