Thoughts and prayers for all the people on Valentines dates with lads who will not stop crying about BrewDog closing down.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

Krampus for Easter is the hero we need.

An early 20C (?) sepia children’s book illustration of a hare emerging from an egg surrounded but scared looking gnomes. More information in the link.

This reminds me a fell down a leporidae hole recently when I looked up the history of the Vailant Boiler logo, and was quite surprised by its weirdness.

I guess it’s all mental schemas. If you’re remembering something, you’re picking out the snatches of memory, and trying to get it to fit a pattern you’ve already experienced. Like the picture on a jigsaw box. If you’re creating something you’re doing the same, but there’s no jigsaw box yet.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Plums are delicious
So sweet
And so cool

Embarrassing reffing from Clattenburg on #gladiators tonight. You should notice if your two contestants only have 3 shoes between them.

Ill in bed so watching Get Back again. The song writing bits are still magical. It’s strange how the composition seems functionally similar to remembering. Like the songs are already there and they’re just trying to bring them to mind. Creation and recreation two sides of the same coin.

I think companies pay to have those buttons added, like the Netflix one on remote controls. This will be a deal with X.

Obviously the platforms hold a lot responsibility, but surely we should be taking a hard look at companies producing keyboards with hate speech buttons?

Where are people buying these keyboards?

Husband is watching Future Shock: The Story of 2000AD and oh dear me this clip has not aged well. The last line. #NeilGaiman

Not sure about the prop round where he keeps thinking up different uses for Wes Streeting.

When will this relentless sun ever end?

I wonder if we’ll get to the point where we don’t add the phrase “it’s not Covid” whenever we say “I’ve got a cold”. I mean it’s still out there, and worth talking about. It’s just a bit cumbersome. Maybe the language will evolve. “I’ve got a coldn’tvid”. “I’ve got novid”.

It’s not like he wasn’t blatantly lying at the time. It’s just nice to go back with the receipts. It feels therapeutic. A service to the nation.

Cheese?

Slightly better chance of an ice cream van too.

There’s 96 bags of poo up on the moon. So similar to the average English park or recreation ground.

Watch: How Andrew's BBC interview compares to what Epstein emails tell us now Following the latest release of the Epstein files, claims made by the then Prince Andrew in 2019 are under fresh scrutiny.

This is very good. I think we should do much more retrospective fact checking of big fat liar interviews.
