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 💚

A young, white woman in a food bank warehouse puts food on a shelf. Text is on top that reads: 'Breaking news' with a headline from BBC news: 'UK inflation unexpectedly jumps to 3.6% as food prices rise again'.

Behold...the Lapwing of contemplation has appeared in your feed. 📷 Tony Stanford

A Lapwing stands alone at the edge of a choppy shoreline, long crest feathers trailing majestically in the breeze. It gazes out over the water, deep in mysterious thought.

It's bonkers isn't it? You have to rate everything. Why? Even the toilets at my local hospital, and the pharmacy have a 'Please rate us' board. It's mad. My personal record is 14 emails in 5 days. Ebay - 3, delivery company - 3, vendor - 8. In the feedback, I gave seller communication 1 star.

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.
