This Morecambe and Wise retrospective is a bit bleak.

"If you want the best example of an ICE commander, it's Jesus Christ himself." This is Mark Fitzpatrick, owner of the Old State Saloon in Idaho, which put on the Hetero Awesome Fest this past June (which was a flop) and that is now offering free beer to anyone who snitches to ICE.

“If the Devil is six then God is seven”: in this TED talk I will explain the connection between the Pixies and a popular Gen-alpha meme, with reference to the da Vinci code and the windows on a chocolate advent calendar where early chocolate fatigue starts to set in

Lovely, thanks! x

This looks like it's taken from a back issue of Golfers' Wives.

Thanks!

where's this from, it's brilliant

The year is 2034. 98% of the population of the planet is employed as a life coach. All the life coaches have life coaches. Life coaches decide to redouble their efforts, going in hard to all the last remaining outposts where people exist simply as people rather than life coaches or people striving to live their best life via life coaches. “Can I be your companion on your journey to yourself and give you the life advice that will make you a proper person?” ask the life coaches. “Can you get out of my kitchen, please?” say the people. “I’ve already had six of you in here this morning, trying to tell me how I can be the ultimate version of me and unlock my true potential. I never asked for this. I just want to be able to live my most average, flawed life in peace and finish cleaning the oven.”

An extremely short horror story I wrote, set in the future.

great. break a leg, man

Was it good? I've been working with a group of 9 year olds and found them utterly fearless with their ideas...Are you teaching?

BLOODY AI,a thread:so, I saw a picture online of the Towers of Perugia by a Renaissance artist, Benedetto Bonfigli whose other work I know a little bit. Here is the image 1/n:

It’s the 7th day of #sketchpadvent. Here’s the Spa Green Estate near Sadler’s Wells by Berthold Lubetkin, illustrated in 1948 (the year before it was opened) by Margaret and Alexander Potter from their book Houses

10-8 to fucking Selby, I reckon.

Hey @gwr.com. Today I had a lovely chat with Jonny who did the trolley service on the 14.54 from Castle Cary to Paddington. With his car out of action, he walked 2hrs from Burnham to Slough at 2am to start his shift. Many would have thrown a sickie, probs me included. You have a hero in your ranks.

This is not something that can possibly be described in text. But here goes: it’s an edit of cartoonist Asher Perlman’s “he’s going for the (band name)” comic, but with “Cow Tools” instead of a jukebox.

It appears that by 1965 the so called "swinging '60s" had even reached as far as the East Riding of Yorkshire and the cover to the Official Guide to the Urban District of Haltemprice who appear to have opted for something quite graphically giddy. It certainly makes for a change from the usual solid stodge of the borough coat of arms that are normally found to adorn the cover of such publications. The small UDC included several small suburbs that ringed around the western boundary of Kingston-Upon-Hull and that included Hessle, Cottingham, Anlaby, Willerby, Kirk Ella and West Ella. The borough had been formed in 1935 and was abolished as part of the 1974 local government reorganisation that saw it become a part of a then larger Beverley council, subsequently to form part of a new East Riding of Yorkshire council in 1996. Anyhow, under a beaming sun, you can go about your work and leisure in Haltemprice. The cover is dominated by a smiling sun motif, top right, that beams down on the colourful illustration on the lower half of the cover. This, dominated by a church weathevane with a multi-coloured cockerel, is above scenes of fields, lesiure activities, farming, a church and a hint of industry; shipbuilding on the easatern boundaries of the borough along the River Hull.

It's 1965 & the 'Swinging Sixties' have caught up with the Urban District Council of Haltemprice in the East Riding of Yorkshire whose official guide promises endless bountiful sun over the suburbs to the west of Hull. #yorkshire #1960s #graphicdesign #trendy
