If you were a wizard, would you prefer to have a massive stone tower as your base for scrying and casting spells and having a library and such wizard stuff, or would you want a sprawling dungeon with like a core set of central rooms for your use

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Bloody Hell.

I just watched an orangutan tie a knot. You should see it too.

Hug if true.

What did they do to TinkyWinky?

I don't suppose anyone would like to trade a fizzy beef wine pin for a 5th meat pin? Or a Cattle College maybe? #beefanddairy

I went to the park to film some water textures with a fancy ultra slomo camera, but got distracted by ducks, so here is some very wholesome content of ducklings having a great time chasing lil bugs in extreme 900fps slow motion:

Do I know anyone who would like two tickets to Crowley Time live at Crazy Coq's this Saturday, 2pm? I've stuffed up my dates. Free to a good home! Your laughter will be reward enough. @atomcrowley.bsky.social

Ruin a movie by making a series of prequels that answer questions that were only included to make the original richer through building a world by implication.

Another record year for the Green Party 👏 859 Councillors on 170 Councils in England & Wales Now join us to keep Greens growing and to take the fight to Reform join.greenparty.org.uk

I know the running joke is that we'd all rather Chaos with Ed Milliband but I'm going to go to bat for Social Democracy with Gordon Brown, who is probably our very best modern Labour politician and got absolutely hung out to dry by Blair and the PLP. Would have loved to see him have time.

And wither we are going, we all will unite.

Incredible that he did the "hat on a hat" thing literally, without even realising it. That's terminal humourphobia. That's being so harrowingly, cosmically unfunny that time, space and language bend around you.

It does feel like both of these are valid. Working from home was decidedly more appealing for the lawyers Zooming in from the attics of chateaux in the Dordogne than it is for most of us in a typical London flat, but there are definitely benefits to getting in and talking to your colleagues.

It's just the entire character list for a YA fantasy novel.

Just a very big, very deep, utterly emptying sigh.

Master and Commander/TNG Intro this was rendering all day while I was out lol

The children in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory don't die.

How have we got to a situation where eating a full, hot meal at your desk, in a room full of people, is not considered a crime punishable by ostracism or Death by Slow Slicing?

Fun to do when you can’t sleep is imagine a period UK version of Columbo. Think I’ve come up with the perfect version of the tec:Roy Kinnear as CAMPBELL. Then there’s the endless possibile killers: Jon Pertwee as a hypnotist, Penelope Keith as a champion dog breeder, Peter Cushing as a royal florist

Cuddling a water sausage.

There's a lot of these in my line of work, but my favourite, feom a tired compliance officer, was "yes, it's still considered a gift even if he didn't like it."

Lovely bit of C20th-style fun

A real and meaningful difference between a city with wealthy people in it and a wealthy city. Safe travels.

Possibly interesting (maybe) that even older-school misogyny, of the kind that could call itself such openly, before the term was primarily pejorative, send to Gabe expressed exactly that: a general objection to womankind, from 'confirmed bachelors'.

Oh flipping heck it's tonight! Slop along, and get your mind milked. Who knows? You might even enjoy it... sohotheatre.com/events/the-a...

When you have as many good ideas as we do, not everything can make the cut. Mind Milk, Soho Theatre, tomorrow and Saturday, 10.15pm. sohotheatre.com/events/the-a...
