That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

A spiffing brand new mural on a car park wall in Bridlington. I still haven’t found the artists name but they’ve done three similarly splendid paintings around town. Top work.
A mural on the side of a house next to a car park. A painting of ships with sails is on fire as canons are blasted by seafaring sailors. The orange glow of the fire and canon shots contrasts with the blue of a foggy evening and moonlit sky. Blue sky behind the house, cars in the car park. Mundane made beautiful and interesting.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I think it's why a lot of our generation are so hard to engage on climate change. When you've lived under the very real threat of imminent global destruction, something happening years later isn't so much of a threat.

The only upside to this future is that their consumers will have no income, so no means of buying their products. Why they dont see this is beyond me.

On 8th Oct 1952 the worst civilian rail disaster in UK history happened in London. 112 deaths. 340 wounded. That accident, and the actions of one woman from Florida have saved THOUSANDS of lives since. That disaster helped lead to the creation of paramedics. /1 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU60...

IF the strike aircraft were driven out of RAF Fairford by an enemy threat, then that enemy has enjoyed more success than the Luftwaffe during the whole of the Battle of Britain.

When I used to write for The Guardian, every time I wrote the word “meow” the editors would change it to “miaow”. It used to really get on my wick. Don’t try to make my cats sound like your upper middle class London cats, you fuckers. My cats did not go to your posh cat schools. They say “meow”.
