Two posts. First reads "Good morning!". Second reads "Posted before reading the news. Wtf".

2-tile meme. First tile is a bus driver, saying "Don't make me tap the sign". Second tile is a picture of a sign. Meme text on top of it reads "You cannot improve the marginal efficiency of a system by taking resources away from it".

Watermelons work well, I can attest!

I made this many years ago

A meme, two images. First is a bus crossing a railroad. The bus is labelled "code almost compiled". Second is the bus being smashed by an incoming train. The train is labelled "borrowck".

Did not enjoy bath

A photo of a chocolate brown skinny spaniel in a living room. Only his head and chest are visible. He is very visibly damp, and has a sheepish look.

I regret to inform you, sir, that the only viable course of remedial action is to fire another woman.

Skinner Simpsons meme format. Captions read:

Hmm, is it our poorly-targetted macho posturing that's causing our core vote to run for the hills?

No, it must be the women

Years ago on the bird site I used to run an account called Labour In Colour, where I hand colourised photos of people and events from Labour history. Is there an appetite for something similar on here?

A colourised portrait photograph of Clement Attlee. He wears a green and yellow tie and a dark pinstripe tie. He appears to be in his early 50s.

Doggo

A photo of a dark brown spaniel on a sofa, staring at the camera. He is gangly and has long ears. Despite this, he is attempting a serious expression.
