Daleks cartoon in this week's Spectator. #DoctorWho

Very think Dalek says "I've been on Ozempic."

But it's a visual gag really, it's hopefully funnier than that description sounds.

This was only my 3rd watercolor painting ever. I also went larger in format (18" x 24") than I normally do. This species is one of my favorites. I also loved adding in the Pilot Fish. #shark #nature #sharkweek #marinelife #fish #fishart #animalart #sciart #ArtYear #Aquatic #animal #art #bskyart

❗ Millions are already facing hunger and hardship. Rising food prices will only add more pressure to families who are struggling to put food on the table. This isn't right. Everyone should be able to afford the essentials they need to survive and live with dignity 💚

Something that will forever weird me out is that there’s a decent amount of ‘high’ art artists who earn absolute boatloads of money for what they do, whilst there’s illustrators who work in the same styles & techniques, but who do it better, and earn a pittance.

"There Is No Epstein Client List," Say Epstein's Clients
Jul 8, 2025

WORLD — Concerned citizens of nations around the world breathed a collective sigh of relief this week, as the individuals who comprised Jeffrey Epstein's client list assured everyone that there was no Epstein client list.

After years of speculation about the names that could be present on the list of people who were involved in Epstein's alleged global human trafficking ring, the matter was finally settled by the people on the list issuing a joint statement denying the existence of the list.

"The list that our names are on does not exist," said a representative of the people named on the list. "While it has been claimed that the presence of our names on Jeffrey Epstein's list was evidence that we were potentially guilty of horrific crimes against innocent victims, we can assure everyone that there is no ‘client list,' regardless of the fact that our names are on it."

Though skeptics maintained that Epstein's client list most definitely existed and was being concealed by powerful elites to keep it secret, the powerful elites were adamant that it was not the case. "Don't be ridiculous," said one powerful elite. "As one of the people who is named on the Epstein client list, I can say with full confidence that there is no Epstein client list. Please stop asking about the release of the Epstein client list, thank you. Because it doesn't exist. And I would know, because my name is on it."

As we head into a new week, please remember that your best is good enough. Try to not compare yourself to others, and don’t be misguided by other people’s material things or status. Those things matter not. If you can live each day with kindness, you are the richest soul. Rest well, my friends. 😊

Two monkey heads left and right and two shiny pink hearts, all floating seductively

A nice delicate frog looking leftwards, yellowy greeny

William Blake’s big eyed pastelly face, and his primitive tiger, warm oranges and shiny eyes

A thick central tree with a single blue eye in the centre, you might categorise this as folk horror if you wanted to, or hauntology
