A headline from GB News stating: Motorists switch to using public transport to avoid paying £5 daily congestion charge
In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge.
A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."
Carry On Up The Khyber reenactment innit?

If you want to know how the British print news industry ends (which is, de facto, amazingly still what supports most newspaper websites) it's the distribution channels getting banjaxed. When you lose "TG Jones" etc even people who want a paper can't get one. That'll be the real start of the ending.

A comedian roasts the president (this year the WHCA chickened out and got a magician or something) and they give out awards for good stories and journalism scholarships. They don’t have an “honoree.”

Random thought. Does anyone know of detective novels set in the Lake District?

a doodle cat with narrowed eyes and a grumpy face. underneath, the handwritten text reads “GRRRRR”
the cat is stretching his leg, the handwritten caption below says “going for a walk”
the cat is now less grumpy, the text above and below it reads: “heck yeah. life is beautiful”
going for a silly little walk for my silly mental health

A close-up of a person wearing teal gloves holding a small metal type punch engraved with an ampersand symbol. In the background, part of the person’s face is softly out of focus.
A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.
🔎 Rare 18th-century punches used to create the original Baskerville typeface have been digitised and released online.
Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography.

Wise move!
Please would you share this if you can. Catherine is married to Mat’s cousin, Marcus. They live in NZ, so we can’t help in person. I know I have quite a few followers from NZ, and if it’s anything like Wales, some of you may know Catherine. Thank you x

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped
Maximum round!
Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute)
When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold!
Cute and convenient! 🪶
