Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

Never refuse your children a bedtime story, even if you're shattered.
One night, it will be the last time you read one to them and you won't even realise it.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19

What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us?

U.S. naval forces have sunk a fourth suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, Trump says

U.S. naval forces have conducted another lethal strike on a vessel President Donald Trump said was tied to a designated terrorist organization involved in drug trafficking in the Caribbean.

I'm terrible at full army shots, but here's the 2k points finished. Every model individually converted, everything 3d printed. Next will probably work on an infantry list. #nerdlings

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

Pubs pay tax. Churches don't. It should be the other way round.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

Not a new model but a touch up & a big base upgrade for Settrus (celestant prime).

He’s getting a run out at WHW in a month or so & wanted him to stand out more.

Mission accomplished I think.

There should be GCSE and A Level qualifications in critical thinking. It's what underpins everything else. It needs to be taught and people need to be good at it. Employers should demand good passes from new hires.

Keir Starmer: you are actually the leader of the Labour Party, so stop letting your every utterance and decision to be influenced by what Reform voters think. I don't give a fuck what Reform voters think. Deliver Labour policies, you fanny.

The huge reduction in traffic during school holidays is proof all children should be required by law to travel via public transport to school. Only exceptional circumstances should be allowed to travel to school in a parents car.

Oh mate. It’s a dreadfully sad story. So faithfully told.

If you’re a film buff & have the time this week I’d encourage you to seek out a screening of Amadeus, as it’s having a 40th anniversary run.

Trust me. Even if the subject matter isn’t your usual vibe. It’s sublime.

40 today. I know, I know, I don’t look a day over 25.

Spoiled rotten by my family, friend’s & fiancée. Particular highlight is this, hard to explain, oil painting of Nicholas Cage.

Made my dog look more confused than usual.
