Sorry, Canada, but your second strip is awful. I felt as if I was watching the guys I'd hired to decorate my house having a lunchtime kickabout.

A member of Canada's World Cup football team displays their second strip, which is black with a white paint-splat effect that suggests maple leaves. Imagine if you left your black t-shirt out to dry on an island inhabited by puffins. It literally looks like shite.

Oh wow. Sad radio, lads 😢 Really going to miss Crunch, Crumble, Vin, and all the scoops for Daddy over the years. It's been much more entertaining than they thought it was. ... Lover. @radiox.co.uk www.chortle.co.uk/news/2026/05...

"Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

A still from the 1978 children's TV puppet show "Oscar", about a rabbit with with a pterodactyl nemesis. In this still, the three interchangeable sets of sentient false teeth belonging to Oscar's nemesis are hanging on a washing line in front of an endless black void, talking to each other. The idea of sentient false teeth - esepcially ones comprised of sharp fangs - kickstarted an anxiety that has never left me.

A 4 panel comic strip by Poorlydrawnlines. Panel 1: a woman with a dog says "I guess I'm a dog person". Panel 2: The dog reveals himself to be a sneaky cat, who takes off his dog disguise and says "guess again...". Panel 3: woman says "You piece of shit...". Panel 4: The panel shows the cat giving both pawfingers, clearly antangonising the "dog person".

Everyone goes on about Leonardo da Vinci's genius... but man, he was shit at stoats. Either that, or for medieval mustelids every day was leg day.

Leonardo da Vinci's painting "Lady With An Ermine", whereby our talented painter demonstrates that you could do a better job of painting a white ferret than he did. That feisty carpet noodle is more musclebound than Lou Ferrigno.

A Freudian typo from the Guardian? 😂

From the Guardian's live feed of the World Cup draw: "This is what we want to see from a leader, and you definitely deserve the first Fifa Peace Prize. You can always OCUNT on my support to help you make peace around the world. Thank you Mr President".

I am very grateful for the Emotional Support Friendo that accompanied me on my hospital visit today [courtesy of the excellent - and excellently named - @vimtotime.bsky.social ] A suprising bonus is that my ESFs also smell AMAZING. I'm sure that doesn't sound in any way weird.

A little Emotional Support Friendo, that I acquired from @vimtotime.bsky.social, is peeking out from the manbag that I took with me to some hospital scans today. I felt completely supported by my new friendo.

An illustration of the four Monster Munch monsters, showing from left to right: Pink Monster (with long tongue), Yellow Monster (with one cyclops eye festooned with lashes), Blue Monster (with four arms and wings for ears) and Orange Monster (fat, and with bright red hair).

Ah, the return of an old friend, just in time for autumn. Soon I shall once more be in that medieval monastery in the middle of the coniferous forest; the stone walls damp with breath and moss, their surfaces skittering in the light of the burning tallow. I can't wait. 🖤

A newly received, unopened box of Comme des Garcons' "Incense Series 3: Zagorsk" perfume, staged on a cube of wood to make it look a bit less plain (otherwise it would just be a black box on a black backdrop)

Post yourself from a different era? Okay then, let's take a trip back to when I hadn't squandered my potential. It's the early Nineties!
