There's something screaming murder in the cellar, the manservant is looking for his arm, the surgeon is slicing and dicing and the butchers shop has lost its leftovers! @mrrobvalentine.bsky.social

Okay, so I’ve had a few drinks tonight but I’m absolutely, positively the least inebriated person in this train carriage. London is scattering its drunks back out into the ‘burbs.

Yeah, it's fascism. The only question is, like ivy, how far have the tendrils taken root, and is the brickwork damaged to the point the building is compromised, or can we just tear the shit off at the next election?
Yikes — This new Orwellian Pentagon propaganda video touting “transparency” as they fill the *press corps* with loyalists like Loomer & Gaetz plays like a horror film.
We are very far off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

It’s that time of year again, where I remember how a mammogram saved my life five years go, and I proceed to hold my breath while I await my scan results. Don’t put off your mammograms, people with breasts: five minutes can make all the difference…

A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter
The playwright Tom Stoppard, whose playful erudition dazzled the theatregoing world for decades, has died aged 88.
One of a select band of writers from any discipline to earn his own adjective – “Stoppardian” – in the Oxford English Dictionary, he delighted in the most improbable juxtapositions: philosophy and gymnastics in Jumpers (1972); early 19th-century landscape gardening and chaos theory in Arcadia (1993); rock music, dissident Czech academics and the love poetry of Sappho in Rock ’n’ Roll (2006).
