This is genuinely quite scary tbh. This absolutely is going to lead to excess deaths. Reminder the previous all-time high June temperature in the UK is 35.6c, set in 1976.
This is my favourite David Hockney painting, in part because it's the one my parents had a print of in our house growing up. The way Mr Clark's feet disappear into the rug, the separation between the two of them, the way the cat (real name Blanche) is looking out of the window. #DavidHockney
He's done it. On Easter Sunday, his flat out most deranged tweet yet. Praise be to Allah indeed.
Successful launch of Artemis II! Integrity and crew is on the way around the Moon!
Congratulations to m'colleague and friend @andyjohnson.xyz on the launch of his book "Manic Street Preachers Song by Song", covering their entire discography! A very informative launch yesterday at Curio Books in Oxford.
How's it going Peter? Dignity still intact is it? This from an email he sent after his sacking as Ambassador.
According to Electoral Calculus this would result in a Hung Parliament with a Reform/Tory coalition still on the cards. But I imagine a few points in either direction could create a really different result.
This was very funny, because the judge technically has to say this (because the case is whether or not the defendents broke the law, not whether they were justified to do so), but the jury overruled him anyway.
Multiple showings of that god awful Melania documentary are on at my local cinema but every showing is sold out, including one at 2am in the morning. Nothing suspicious about that!
Happy 99th Birthday to Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927); a landmark and masterpiece of science fiction cinema.
This picture is so delightfully weird, just everything about it is bizarre. From Sylvester Stallone to Gloria Gaynor, from Michael Crawford to KISS, to the massive "FIFA Peace Prize" award dwarfing the literal World Cup.
Normally this would be a lot older I think, but I listened to a lot of the soundtrack to The Brutalist (2024).
The Graun don't have any leg to stand on, but I can understand the caption writer having some fun here.
Never seen this before; not a single upvote on the latest Fallout 4 update (announcing the Anniversary Edition is available) and over 500 comments. Given the Starfield debacle it's incredible Bethesda thinks they can behave like this.
This is Marlborough High Street in the present day, from the same angle as the 1910 picture above. Why did we do this?!
One of my more small-c conservative views is that we need to ban cars completely from most town centres in the UK. Nearby me, both Wantage and Marlborough have beautiful historic centres which are absolutely ruined by having car parks slap in the centre of them.
Happy 50th Anniversary to one of Pink Floyd's best albums, and one of the best prog rock albums of all-time. #WishYouWereHere
#FirstFiveSteamPurchases i-Fluid is good! Sadly no longer available on Steam. I also played so much Audiosurf at university.
This is probably my favourite version of the "When you ride TESLA you ride with Hitler!" poster, because it's basically the same as the original just with a few words substituted.
The New York Times is doing a Reader's Choice for the Top 100 Films of the 21st Century (so far). Here's my current top choices. You can vote here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Another successful voyage to the best little record shop in Oxfordshire, Play It Again in Wantage. All of these records for only £20!
In 2018 at least we had the gorilla channel, in 2025 we sadly have nothing to laugh about.
