A comic, sepia tone. The sun is saying “Suuun”, the people on the ground replying “suuun”.
A shadow appears, with a voice shhhh-ing the sun.
The suns voice quavers, “s-sun?” The shadow repeats “shhh” Suddenly the sun is covered, and a voice says, “MOOOOON”

A man in a red robe struggles with an angel, on a rocky shoreline. The caption above reads “And the angel said unto him
"Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself."
But lo he could not. For the angel was hitting him with his own hands.”

Fuck right off with your bigotry.

Mediterranean life in full swing on Dunwich Heath in Suffolk, also last night.

Thinking of this quote as news comes in overnight that the beautiful area of heathland just down the road from me is now burning. It’s unsurprising, hammock camped over night there last week and it was an absolute tinderbox in the woods.

An upright wooden dividing device with a pair of sparkly anime style eyes against a star & heart strewn pink and blue background. A suggestion for a diet consisting of people with too much money is written across the bottom. The character is saying “FEED ME SENPAI!”

Without saying your age, what's your favourite film that came out when you were 18?

Out out. Dunwich forest last night.

The ‘Chinnery Backseat Driver’. Saw it first as a young’un, and it’s never quite stopped giving me the heebie jeebies, skeptic though I firmly am.

A painting of a party of fremen, robes over their stillsuits, carrying worm-hooks. They stand on a high dune, watching lightning play around a breaching sandworm in the distance.
The caption reads:
“I'm not saying it's hot outside,
but a couple of Fremen just tried to reclaim my water for the tribe while I was asleep on the couch.”

The silhouette of a tatter-winged humanoid something perched on a telephone pole, against a purple-blue twilight sky. It’s looking at you with bright pinpricks of eyes.
The text reads “Can anyone tell me what kind of bird this is? It's outside my window every night.”

Flowers putting on a show as well.

Lovely walk in the sun at Lound Lakes nature reserve this morning, did the soul good to get out early in the sun. Buzzards and kestrels out flying with their young’uns, dragonfly’s & butterflies all over. Raucous birdsong in every tree and reedbed.

The day these fuckers are put out of business/ yeeted into the sun cannot come quickly enough for me. I hate them I hate them I hate them.

My periodic threatening letter from the cunts at TV Licensing. Reads: Your No Licence Needed status:
Expired end of March 2026.
Act now to avoid breaking the law.
Dear Mr Bain,
As your claim expired on 31/03/26, this address is now unlicensed.
This means we may have to investigate. And an Officer could visit to check if you're watching TV without a licence. Anyone caught doing this risks prosecution and a £1,000 fine plus any legal costs and/or compensation.

Actual economic common sense coming from somewhere in the vicinity of the Labour Party? What on earth is going on?

"The problem with the answers coming from the populists isn't that they're 'not sensible'
' it's that they're
not radical enough," one Labour source said. "Price controls and handouts actually accept the premise that things can't be fundamentally changed. The truly radical thing is taking on why the system is broken in the first place.
Why can't we build homes? Why is energy so expensive? Why do many workers pay a higher marginal tax rate than a landlord?

"Voters aren't turning to Reform and the Greens because they're becoming
'extreme'. They're, fairly, concluding that the mainstream offer is managed decline and they'd rather roll the dice. The answer is to put forward something genuinely bolder that really changes things for them."

LOOKING BACK ON IT
THE NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE WAS A GOOD THING...

ALL THE LEADERS, POLITICIANS, AND THE RICH RUSHED TO THEIR NUCLEAR BUNKERS TO ESCAPE THE HOLOCAUST.
THE REST OF US WERE LEFT TO DIE PAINFULLY. IT WAS GREAT!

THIS STAGGERING ACROSS THE NUCLEAR WASTELAND IS A BIT ROUGH, BUT IT DOES HAVE ITS MOMENTS, AND THE HOURS ARE PRETTY GOOD.

THEN THERE'S THE TEA BREAKS. THEY'RE NOT BAD.

TROUBLE IS, A GOOD THING CAN'T GO ON FOREVER.
NOW THAT WE'VE SEALED THE BUNKERS UP, THIS JOB CAN ONLY LAST A COUPLE MORE MONTHS.

I’M JUST SURPRISED THAT THE RICH AND POWERFUL ACTUALLY BELIEVED WE WOULD FIRE OFF NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON THEIR SAY-SO... AND THEN OBLIGINGLY LOCK THEMSELVES IN BUNKERS WITH ONLY LIMITED FOOD SUPPLIES.

STILL, WITH THAT LOT OUT OF THE WAY I SHOULDN’T HAVE TOO MUCH TROUBLE
FINDING MYSELF A NEW JOB... MAYBE I COULD DO A SPOT OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING OVER THIS OLD HOLOCAUST
МОСК-UP..
