Tbilisi street art

Trump bombing Iran is like Omar running into Boots at the end of Four Lions. Niche reference, but IYKYK.

It's a good thing the US elected the "no wars" President, or I'd be feckin terrified.

I don't really follow darts, but how the hell do we manage to "crash out" of the Darts World Cup to Germany?

Who are we to argue with him?

Trump bringing law and order to America like a pyromaniac with a flamethrower dealing with a bin fire (which he started)

Where is America's Tiananmen going to be?

Southgate doesn't seem so boring now, does he?

Did anarchopunks have some ideological issue with bass? Why do they always sound like they used a Quality Street tin as a kick drum?

TIL there's an episode of Columbo where he goes to London, and Honor Blackman plays a Shakespearian actress. Every other character is a moustachioed toff or a corblimey Cockney with a Dick Van Dyke accent. There's lots of harpsichord-backed montages, and the whole thing is as camp as a Carry On.

Long shot I know but... I'm writing something set in 17th century London which features an indigenous Peruvian character. I'd really like to talk to someone from that background before I get too deep into it, to make sure I'm getting things right. Is there anyone out there who can help?

This is one of the worst, laziest, most vacuous articles I have ever regretted clicking on www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How disgusting are the people who immediately try to make political capital and stir up hatred in response to any tragedy? Chris Philp's career should be finished after his tweet... But he is too shameless and useful.

Don't know if anyone else is watching but this year's Giro d'Italia is an absolute cracker. Giants falling, new legends emerging, heartwarming solo stage wins and GC racing nearly every day #giroditalia
