Daily bunny no.3415 is a semi-aquatic mammal

A bunny in a diving suit walks on the seafloor. They stare up at a small seal, who looks like they are about to put their nose up on the bunny's helmet. Fish and sea stars are also there.

Leeds trams update

Satirical poster in Hyde Park, Leeds.

TRAMS? WE DON’T NEED TRAMS!

The solution can be achieved with the application of INTELLECTUAL GUMPTION and our INNATE ANIMAL CUNNING

FOR EXAMPLE:
1# Municipal Sedan Chairs
The feckless can be harnessed
to make up for their complete lack of feck. A win for all.
#2 DOMESTICATE THE UBERBOTS
THEY WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST US.
#3 WHEELED FEETS
Absolutely no reason why this can't happen at scale.

GIVE UP ON TRAMS. CONTACT YOUR MP AND DEMAND THE ABOVE

here is probably the most whimsical and gormless creature ive made so far. just utterly permeable. under investigation for an allergy to tap water

a pale purple-blue ceramic dog type animal held in my hand. it has shiny black eyes, long legs, no teeth and a snout with no nose or nostrils. it has floppy ears and a generally greyhound-like build. its expression is faintly startled.

the same ceramic dog creature standing on paving. the inside of its mouth and around its eyes is pale pink, and its tummy is cream coloured. its blue colouration blends softly with its cream-white underside. it has a long, faintly feline tail.

a close-up of the face of the same ceramic creature.

the head of the same ceramic creature shown from above. in this photo, you can see that its shiny black eyes are positioned on the sides of its head and bulge out considerably.

We see lots of people, rightly, condemn how ICE in America for waiting for people at immigration hearings to detain them, but we rarely hear about the fear so many people have of turning up to their reporting sessions in the UK with the Home Office and just being lifted then and there.

On October 1, as she went for her regular check in at the Home Office building in The Capital Building in Liverpool City Centre, Arjeta became nervous.
She recalls: "The lady was very cold with me. She asked me to wait for a few minutes while they updated my information, then a man came in and asked me to follow him, I knew I was going to be detained."
