when the bouncers have reluctantly let me into the club but immediately realise they’ve made a horrible mistake

Dick Cheney won't see your mean jokes about his death, but Tony Blair will, hopefully.

AI fantasy image of 50-something-year-old guy with Thing from Addams Family on his shoulder, but if Thing had four fingers instead of five. Unclear whether Thing is just hanging out like a parrot sidekick to a pirate, or if its placement on the man's shoulder suggests an intimacy, possibly even an erotic component. Also the man has an American flag lapel pin, suggesting he may be a senator or something? The best i can offer is that they are both former veterans and Thing lost a finger (roughly ten percent of its body, by weight) in the Iraq War, and now the man has ridden his veteran story to victory in the political sphere, simultaneously trying to appease Thing as a result of an old promise made to "make sure he's taken care of, after all this over, if we both get out alive" and desperately hoping no one ever uncovers the truth, that he and Thing, alone in the desert and lacking their normal choice of companionship, may have idled away some aroused hours with - you guessed it, say it with me now - "Hand Stuff"

Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home review – an extremely moving look into the rock icon’s final months This fly-on-the-wall documentary was meant to follow the couple as they left LA for Buckinghamshire. It turned into a compellingly intimate memorial

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

It was already going badly, then she spent a very long time telling me about her mate "Weird Steve", who "buys exotic meats on Wowcher". "That's just his mentabolism", she explained.

I have a book recommendation, if you're interested: "Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things" by Pierre Novellie. He's a comedian who was diagnosed with ASD in his thirties and he writes about all sorts of things that started fitting into place for him. Really informative and funny.
