Wholesome sound witch MeLostMe spitting some absolute belters in the top slot on day one of #switchedon
A lady in a hooded top songs extremely well into a mic, whilst manipulating a table full of illuminated boxes. Behind, a lower projection is akin to a psychedelic oil slick whilst creepy twigs scroll past on the wall above.

It’s always a gamble on the car boot aperture of the lift-giving mate. The weather here is lovely, shaping up to be a clement weekend. #switchedon25
Whitby cliffs, church on the right, sky in the left. Wee houses below.

“Zohran Mamdani’s Wife” x3. @the-independent.com fifty grand a year and I’ll look up whether these women have names for you, if you want.
A screenshot of an Independent link about Rama Duwaji that mentions her name no times and her husband’s three. Because fuck people, right?

Morgan Gibbs-White, fingers in his ears, eyes closed, knee-slinging celebration having scored a penalty for Forest against Porto. You love to see it.

🎵 It’s beginning to look a lot like Gaza 🎵
A pile of rubble with a wacking great big US flag behind it. Because they’re not compensating for owt, or owt.

Siri, add garlic butter to the shopping list. No, not garlic and butter, garlic butter. No, it’s one thing, hold on… *checks label* Siri, add garlic spreadable to the shopping list.

Hnnnngg.
A shopping list which reads garlic, butter, garlic, butter, garlic bread.

From the special section on YouTube all of her own, to the sports pages of the BBC, I am utterly sick to fucking death of seeing this face. I never thought you could see one more than the inconti…sorry, cumbent president. But she’s managed it. Must be because her music is so groundbreaking.
The only pop star in the entire world and her stupid blank face. In the BBC sports section. Because she’s like a stage four cancer cross the media now.

Icing on the weekend’s cake for us. Especially with Tom in tow. That bottom end tonight… oooof!

Made it. Were a bit early, like.
A twat standing in front of a sign adjacent the Document venue in Bristol where Machina Bristronica gonna happen on the morrow, under a sign zip-tied to a lamp post which says “Dieter Love” in black LCD digital typeface on a white background. The twat is wearing a baseball cap and grinning.

The East Yorkshire geese aren’t quite as organised.
Two dickhead geese making an emergency altitude gain to avoid impact from my bike in a park.

A little wisdom from Tony Benn to Ali G 25 years ago, in the alt text. Came to mind for some reason.
You’re not living in the real world my friend, you’re living in a world where everybody is just so bloody greedy that there’s no hope of building a better society and that’s why we’re in a mess. You treat women with a great deal of disrespect, you call them bitches, it’s a term of disrespect, you’re calling them animals. I think this really does come down in the end not to an argument about politics but the fact that you have no time for people. You think they are lazy, greedy, don’t want to work, you call women bitches and then you are asking me about a society that’s happy. Well I’ll tell you what somebody will shoot you someday because you treat them like an animal. “

These lads were not expecting me to be riding past this morning. They can go vertical pretty fast when they feel like it.
Two canada geese approach a path in a park at shoulder height. From a cyclist's handlebar perspective, the first has his wings outstretched and is vertically aligned, trying to get some altitude and slow down simultaneously, the second has seen what's going on and is a little further from impact, doing his best to realign.

This pigeon looks fucking mental
Two pigeons sit atop a filthy plastic outbuilding. Taken from below, the photograph captures the moment pigeon a gets all wingy at pigeon b in response to b's amorous approach. Zoom in on pigeon a's face from the first picture. Again viewed from below, pigeon a looks bulbous-eyed and ready to do some fucking damage, like.

It’s endemic now. The reductive kings of this are local rag sports headlines. A sentence with one word in quotation marks which will be the most inappropriately used and out of context word in a nondescript sentence, somewhere in the article.
A bunch of crap headlines that prove my point on the Nottingham Post website.

Went for a stroll last week and came across this, appropriately enough.
A sign for the Beth Mead MBE play park in Hinderwell.

Any way to make trending topics not be endless American shit? Filter by continent?
Trending topics on here. It’s always ALL to do with the USA. As if we all aren’t entirely bored of that stupid place now.

“The female referee”. They’re just referees, BBC. You’ve already said Stephanie and Frenchwoman and you’re about to use ‘her’. You sound Ferengi.
An update from the BBC match coverage of England v Senegal reads”England 1-0 Senegal Stephanie Frappart is not having any nonsense. Senegal are upset with a decision that goes against them but the Frenchwoman makes it clear who is in charge. The female referee is stamping her authority on this game.”
