Just seen Tim Davie's resignation letter on X and finally understood why he had to go:
Tim Davie's resignation letter edited to blank out large parts. It now "reads": "I wanted to let you krow that I have decided to leave the BBC for their recent demands over many years to polarise the BBC. the BBC is not perfect, open, transparent and accountable and BBC News has delivered mistakes irresponsibly."

They've mashed-up the traitors and all I can see is Kemi Badenoch
A mashup of Alan Carr and Cat Burns. It bares some similarity to kemi badenoch. I think so anyway.

A) I should do another watch 🤔
B) £5 for that is an absolute steal.
C) how do I have the same set but the box is a different size?
West wing box set. With less tree on the edges than mikes..

If you're wondering how America is going right now, the Department of Homeland Security called an order an "extreme act of judicial activism".

That order requires ICE to wear (and turn on!) body cams.
From CBS news Federal agents at large wear body cameras but federal agents in Chicago have not been. "This was not a suggestion," Ellis said in court. "It wasn't a hint. It wasn't a topic of discussion or conversation. It was an order. So, I will enter it today and then I will expect that it will be followed." A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security called the ruling an "extreme act of judicial activism."

Doodle from last night when I was trying to write for the radio!

Trump on his World Peace tour:
A fat orange faced man sitting on the back of a dove of Peace. The dove looks weird which is solely because Trump is sitting on it, and not a reflection of the artist rather winging the wing.

Monkey takes road safety seriously. But there's no symbol for monkeys to cross! Should he go on the orange light?

Monkey pushing button to wait for signal A red light for people and bicycles, but what of monkey? An orange light? Is that his cue to go?

Monkey looking smart! Despite hanging out with a photographer who's taking all these photos, monkey wanted a passport photo because the seat was orange!

Monkey too small for the barber's chair. But monkey got his hair washed in the orange basin!
#orangetober
A monkey looking very small in a barbershop chair. Not pictured, one bewildered barber. Monkey having his hair done in the basin. Well not really as that's basically a bath when you're a monkey.

This plan is "a historic day for peace" - and if you don't like it, we will annihilate you.
Speaking at Monday's news conference at the White House, Trump called the plan "a historic day for peace". But he said Netanyahu would have US backing to "finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas" if Hamas did not agree to the plan. Netanyahu then said Israel "will finish the job" if Hamas rejected the plan or did not not follow through.

You're still in the old days there - the current fashion is to put "tiktok made me buy it" in your ebook title.
How else but tiktok might people have heard of the Hunger Games?
Title for the kindle edition of the Hunger games: "The Hunger games 4-book bundle: tiktok made me buy it!"

I wondered how this 40cm skeleton could be described as "life sized", luckily Amazon's ever helpful Ai assistant has the answer:
A product called "Halloween Skeleton Life-Size" on Amazon. A measurement to the side labels it only 40cm (15 inches) tall. Asking the Amazon Ai "why is this labelled life sized?” It responds "The product is labelled life-sized because it has dimensions of 3.5 x 10 x 3.5 cm, which is a realistic size for a decorative skeleton."

I don't mind some ads in exchange to read for free, but I think when you can only squeeze half a sentence onto my pretty sizable phone screen it shows where your priorities are.

Someone raid the skip to do a sad trombone for journalism.
