This is most peculiar

interested to see how the M&S new build and the pedestrianised zone will turn out. This looks like all traffic will be stopping directly outside, will the two projects be happening concurrently. That's a lot of traffic suddenly squeezed into a small area.

The Art Newspaper's offices are right in the middle of the pedestrianised zone. I know it's a big ask but could they also make busking with enormo speakers illegal.

The Leigh Bowery exhibition at Tate felt like a memorial to clubbing as well as a retrospective of his work.

I just looked in the food waste bin and thence began the fun summer game of is it rice or is it maggots?

Reading more Raymond Chandler and had to look up what "She's shatting on her uppers" means. Luckily, it isn't what it sounds like.

Cartwheels! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

So 1 in 19 Labour MPs and 1 in 12 Tory MPs are sex offenders. Weird how *they* say its trans women that are the problem though.

I pity the person who has to make the bed in this hotel. £387/night to stay in La Défense next to a shopping center.

I was sad to hear that the great sculptor Joel Shapiro died this weekend. In 2009 I had the pleasure of photographing him in his studio in Queens, it had the most enviable view of industrial New York (if you like that sort of thing) He was utterly charming. #JoelShapiro #PaceGallery

One day I hope private cars will be seen as grotesque as private jets. Instead of propping up the motor industry public transport should be properly integrated. parking spaces could be repurposed for more beneficial things like bike lanes, car-sharing hubs, dining etc. We’re missing a trick here

In case anyone wonders why people cycling from London to Brighton always talk about Ditchling Beacon it’s the vertiginous spike right at the end of the ride. Appalling experience.

Two girls cycling past me up Ditchling Beacon. One says to the other, We deserve an ice-cream after this. My dears, you deserve an ice-cream whenever, you don’t need to cycle up a monstrous hill.

I have the wrong amount of emails

If a person was to wash their iphone (silly sausage) and it no longer turns on, would it still be possible for someone to get the data from the phone? asking more for my data security rather than because I need anything from it.

charming

I walked past a limousine on the Upper West Side with the back door open so I poked my head round and Diana Ross was sitting in the middle of the back seat with her hair almost touching the windows on both sides.

A major project is underway due to National Lottery funding to reveal the secrets of a unique prehistoric ritual site described by experts as “Cornwall’s ancient sacred heart” experts in archaeology, less so in female anatomy.

I don't think the old men & their friends have been so stupid about violence since the last time the old men & their friends were so stupid about violence.

"The Midjourney lawsuit will make fanart illegal!" ... ...child, did you think it wasn't...? It's just bad optics for companies to go after it, but we've aaaaaaaallllllllll been committing a fuckton of crime, all along...

Oh, how vomitous

Miley Cyrus has teamed up with Secret Cinema for an immersive experience for Something Beautiful in a (shhh!) secret central london location. 19-22nd June. tickets £85.20. What a time to be alive. £85.20 for cinema with some sequins.

Perhaps one of the sweetest songs about anxiety. RIP Brian Wilson 🐐 youtu.be/SvZHoF0A9WQ?...

I still can’t believe it is legal for cars to look like this, not forgetting the added murder potential of blinding LED headlights, fuckaboutery with the indicators and other obvious grumbles about how illogical and fuggly they are.

This from the rooftops. youtu.be/YUUhDoCx8zc?...

Did you know you can get a "global talent visa" to stay in the UK if you work in arts and culture.The one stipulation is you have to have won one of these prizes. What are the prizes, I thought? Lo and behold it is a painfully narrow selection, i'd almost say embarrassing www.gov.uk/government/p...

This fabulous photo of Claude Monet and his wife, Alice, in Piazza San Marco, Venice, October 1908

This would be hilarious if all those people investing in those newbuild properties in the middle of the Old Kent Road suddenly find that the Bakerloo line isn't being extended. Won't someone think of the property developers.

Of course they did. Property developers don’t want to make buildings out of bricks and they don’t want to implement anything that would give the buildings protected status, they want easy come, easy go properties like this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ugh, just pedestrianise Soho already. This massive traffic sign on Brewer Street takes up most of the pavement. Cars in central London should be at the bottom of the order of importance not the top.

There’s a vibrancy to Sickert’s colours that I find disconcerting. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are poisonous.

Any journalist who runs with a headline about Britain losing their marbles shall be blasted into the sun 💥

I love sleeping during the day and having absolutely bonkers dreams. I finished work early so awarded myself some crazy hallucinations
