Pretty savage seeing this

Had a huge lunch at home of Palestinian friends today & their 6 year old daughter came over to whisper to me that at school they all secretly say '67' but the teacher has banned them from saying it especially if they make extra noises 🤔 but says they also sneakily say 'a sé a seacht' 😂 #speirgorm

Drugs in 15C French monasteries must have been amazing.

So pale that if I wore just a soupçon of rouge & a white Pierrot outfit your great aunt would mistake me for a ceramic doll & attempt to put me in a glass cabinet.

Édouard Vuillard's picture (c1920) is of Elizabeth Asquith (Princess Bibesco) the daughter of Margot and Herbert Asquith, Liberal Prime Minister 1908-1916. Her marriage in 1919 to the Romanian diplomat Prince Antoine Bibesco was London’s society wedding of the year.

As they should. No sheep should be defined by their worst moments.

They might be pretty embarrassed to have got stuck on that cliff, in fairness

The Mamdani swearing in has real Gotham City vibes. Love it.

I always tell students if you ask a good question the article will write itself

I also want to know about the alcohol consumption of peace-elephants

The competition on my street to demonstrate one’s predestination for heaven is fierce.

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history.
The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!

So were the signs...

France went so hard in solidarity with no kings that someone stole the Crown Jewels from the Louvre

A pyramid of cashmere mice and a mouse being shot out of a cannon

My sister has made this mouse circus out of a cashmere jumper. I just love it!

most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

While watching Misery, when James Caan picks up the statue of the pig during the climactic fight scene, I'll never forget the guy behind me yelling at the top of his lungs, "HIT HER WITH THE PIG!" like all of our lives depended on it.

My photo shows a circa 2,000 year-old Roman cast glass ribbed bowl composed of translucent blue-green and opaque white mosaic glass. It has a plain rounded rim and sides curving in to the bottom. On the exterior below the rim are sixteen evenly spaced vertical ribs. The bowl is placed on a textured grey surface in a museum display case which lights up the bowl so it looks like it contains swirling turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Dimensions: height 5.8 cm, diameter 11.5 cm.

Something lovely for the weekend! 🩵
