I don’t know who might need this, but… every time I take my dog Ludo for a walk, he literally will not go down the stairs until I have allowed him to position himself like this, and until he has received sufficient head pats and proclamations that he is a good - nay, the best - boy.

Your plain-clothes officers are picking non-criminals, non-illegals and literal tourists off the street and imprisoning them without due process. You’re raiding elementary school graduations. One of you did a literal hit and run on a protestor. But the Gestapo wore Hugo Boss, so yeah, not the same.

We are in Crete, and we’ve been adopted by a cat. She sits on us for hours on end, follows us around, and miaows pitifully when we go inside. We named her Artemis (Artie) and she’s so smart she’s already answering to it. Guess I’m going to be bawling on the flight home then.

Today I went to a breast cancer clinic because my left boob was under investigation for attempted murder, but by 2pm it was cleared of all charges. No cancer for me today! Joy!

I just came back from a couple of days in a cabin in the woods of north Norfolk. I am now suffering from major post-cabin blues. I cannot remember the last time I was so far from light pollution it was possible to photograph the stars (you can see Orion in the fourth pic!)

It would be quicker to count the things Dan Hannan has been right about. You know what? I just did: 1. His name* (citation needed)
