Just want to go on record that I’m obsessed with Claudia’s outfits and looks. 10/10

Can we be sure Claudia Winkleman isn’t moonlighting as a vigilante? Perfect vigilante mask makeup tbh.

I am aware how wanky that last sentence sounds 😂

Was lucky enough to listen to a talk from Aardman animators a while back and one thing that stuck with me with me was this fact. I think this is an inherent thing we crave from creativity, the thumbprint of humanity on it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I think if social media just shut down and displayed this image from say midnight to 6am, we’d all have better lives.

A few years ago, when there was a super moon, I was walking home pretty drunk. I text my wife a picture of it, because it looked massive and bright, to which she replied “that’s the church clock”. Still makes me laugh.
