Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

He looks a little like Walter Smith tbf

Jonny Edwards @veritasgaston.bsky.social · 3d

Yes.

I don't either. I've taken to wearing a t-shirt, no jumper, with a winter coat.

I'd like to tell you that it works. It does not.

Agreed. No wonder everyone's mental health is so fucked.

Give me back the days of MySpace where I could just embed some cool tunes on my profile page, and debate people on the merits of overly baggy clothing.

Yeah, opening social media and seeing that.. the fuck is wrong with people!

Ozzy Osbourne's head superimposed on the body of Sting in costume for the 1984 film Dune.

Doing the lord's work. Makes up for my very un-metal laziness.

With actual alt-text, a very metal thing to do, y'all.

Two images of Ozzy Ozbourne at at able with a cup of tea, a glass of wine, and a glass or water in front of him. In the top image, he's quoted as saying, "Sometimes I'm scared of being Ozzy Osbourne." In the second image, the quote continues, "But it could have been worse. I could've been Sting." He has a slight, knowing grin on his face as he adds sweetener to his tea.

While we're here, he should've asked Denis Villeneuve to direct it to.

Actually, this could apply to most Nolan films.

Jonny Edwards @veritasgaston.bsky.social · Jul 22

It is indeed. We actually have one, and half of our (online) fanbase are trying to sell him 😂

This song got stuck in my head today, and now I'm going to get it stuck in yours.
