The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Daughter is meant to leave work in west end 30 mins before I left work in east end yesterday - yet somehow we ended up in the same tube carriage, the only free seat being next to her (with people standing)! Anyone notice these little spooks more when they're writing??

As Tim Martin's back in the news, thought I'd repost one of my finer moments. Redone instead of screenshot as X cut off the full glory of Freddy. Story of his life huh?

I just realised that Tim Martin looks like someone merged Rod, Jane & Freddy in a scientific experiment, and now I can't stop thinking about it.

As if the inveterate users of Wetherspoons leave their chairs to use the toilet anyway.

"Lock the toilet door for their own privacy" What women have been doing for over 100 years. I have suggested in the past that if we got rid of the open troughs men pee into, a lot of problems would solve, including dads taking small daughters to the loo...but got 3 months abuse..

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

How are you supposed to get a gender recognition certificate, which requires you to have lived in your acquired gender, now the Supreme Court has said you are not allowed to live in your acquired gender?

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation." Are we great again yet?

Btw if you're enjoying these #totp s... Wilde and Nick Heywood are still blistering live and the 80s all dayers aren't selling as well as they did, many are being cancelled... so do buy tickets if you see them advertised. I didn't even like Haircut 100 back in the day and LOVE them live now #totp

I don't think I've heard this Kim Wilde track since back then. Which is odd cos I've seen her live 4 times. But I was fixated by it at the time. I'm getting feels #totp

It's only now it seems utterly odd Fun Boy 3 worked with Bananarams... FB3 were proper, interested musicians.. Bananarama just intoned barely in tune. So bizarre how big they were- they never even harmonised #totp

I once searched on twitter for "Pigbag" and got some of the most dusturbing images I've ever seen... and I once accidentally clicked on Dalmation porn. I beg you resist. #totp #pigbag
