66 years ago today, artist Yves Klein sold antiques dealer Jacques Kugel an artwork – which seems like an unremarkable anniversary, but for the fact that the art was invisible, and the buyer was supposed to burn the receipt

There are 3 basic points:
1. It is probably overkill to designate Palestine Action a terror group, but they are accused of really nasty stuff.
2. As such, it is not a good thing to fund or support them - plenty of other pro-Pal groups exist.
3. If you make a specific point of backing them, be judged

Just been reminded of this heartwarming picture of a rabbit and an eagle. Morning all

I can barely express how appalled I am. Honestly, people, you put *cream* on crumble. Custard! [tuts, rolls eyes]

"Say it!"
"No!"
"Say it, Hans."
"My name's not Hans!"
"I WILL drop you."
“Fine, okay, you win!”
“I need to hear you say it.”

As it’s the season to debate whether *that film* is a Christmas movie, here’s a seasonal treat: a cat that looks like it’s falling from Nakatomi Plaza

Just got round to watching this. ‘Scorching’ is right. Incredible stuff
Scorching live version of Green Onions. My favourite bit starts at 2:10, a 20-second close-up of Donald 'Duck' Dunn just DIGGING Steve Cropper

It’s the 92nd anniversary today of one of the finest examples of Betteridge’s Law (the one which states that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no’)

You could look through the thread for the preposterous context in which this was posted, or just enjoy the meisterwerk

Tom Lehrer said “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize”, so I think it’s admirable of FIFA to have *started* at a level it took the Nobel committee 72 years to reach

And I’m sure we all look forward to hearing about winners in future years

Have you seen this, @levparikian.bsky.social? Apparently, if you say you saw a bird, and you partner expresses interest, that means you have a healthy relationship. I couldn’t help wondering if the theory held true round your way
Is your relationship solid – or sinking? The bird theory thinks it knows
TikTokers say it will show the health of your relationship. Does it really show how we think about romance?

A tale of media shenanigans today, because it’s the 17th anniversary of the historic day the Facebook Republican Army was EXPOSED in the media in a SHOCKING story which APPALLED the RESPECTABLE people of BRITAIN

You know how we came together in joyful ~ahem~ celebration of Diana The Musical when it popped up on Netflix? Well, I was thinking... with the world as it is now, we need something like that again, and I have the answer: this, streaming free somewhere

Oh, the gifs and memes we could make...

Never seen this before. Not subtle, exactly, but…

I must have missed this when Joe posted it last year. No way I could have forgotten it
I demand everyone stop what you're doing and watch this right now.

I regret to have to announce that I just thought of this again and the words “look at him twerking” came into my head, so I’m going to be screaming into the void for a few days if anyone needs me

Such a frustrating follow, this man. No matter how hard you try to fill the internet with nonsense, Séamas will always be ahead
What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.

But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.
