I am not dunking on this account but it's important to explain a couple of things that they haven't understood.

There are only two ways to defend against a ballistic missile. Either shoot it down, or stop it launching.

We're not in a position to do the first, which leaves only the second. 1/n

Damn Harrison Ford should get an Actors Award for Best Actors Award speech

You can be against this war and against everything Israel is doing and even against Israel itself without being against Jewish people. It's actually really easy. More people should try it

Perhaps we need wit to woo them. ;)

Yes! As in "You mean you've been up here in all this beastly mud and oomska without Wellingtons?" Nicer tasting, mind. ;)

My exemption in The War On Cars:

Delahaye 165.

Just had a baked potato with cheese and baked beans, and a salad of mixed leaves, cucumber and tomato, with coleslaw on the side. It was delicious.

One of the best things about eating at home is being able to lick all the cheesy beany coleslawy umska off of the plate at the end. #IKnowHowToLiveMe

WRITING in 4th century Greece, Hippocrates suggested that illness and disease were caused or transmitted by noxious vapours, and this was accepted as medical fact until the late 19th century when Louis Pasteur and others provided alternative explanations which finally discredited the idea. However, I would caution anyone in my house who is reading this not to enter my water closet for the next half hour just in case he was right after all. Professor Dave, Cape Cod

When I think R'n'R is all played out and dead, Then hear the White Stripes riff in 7 Nation Army and the line "Wait, they don't love you like I love you" and I feel it all again.

Ha - I see Björk is as bonkers as ever. I liked the operatic nature, and Rosalia's obvs got a good voice, but it still makes me think she wouldn't look out of place at this year's hammy Eurovision, or in one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's terrible musicals. Sorry, not for me, but thanks for the vid. x

Crouchers! I used to live up the road on Hornsey Lane, when I lived in that there London.

jaw dropping tweet from Feargal Sharkey. You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends. And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. https://x.com/Feargal_Sharkey/status/2018618397278285891

The ‘Pilgrim Hare’ from St. Mary’s Church at Beverley in East Yorkshire. Dating to the mid-14th century, the hare is dressed as a pilgrim, hence the title. It is thought that the carving was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit. 📸 My own. #StoneworkSunday #Beverley

Currant affairs?

When your cat has watched Die Hard too many times.

White cat with black Kitler markings. Somehow still looks sweet. Because she is.

I love this cat, but we can't let her out in case she invades Poland. #CatsOfBluesky

I don't think Paddington will be with him where he's going. Evil fucker.
