And lo, it was decreed that the skies shall go dark, like a celestial bin lid closing, to herald the election of @countbinface.bsky.social by the worthy citizens of Clacton and surrounding fiefdoms!

I've seen people suggest you look at the eclipse through a colander. Don't do that, you'll strain your eyes.

Furious. Accidentally ate some magic mushrooms so went to the doctors, but instead of my usual GP they sent me to see a dancing purple hippopotamus!

Pick up the nearest book, turn to p.42 and post the second sentence: "With one swift and pracised movement, Ford reached under the towel with his No. 3 gauge prising tool and flipped off the small plastic panel on top of the robot which gave access to its logic circuits." D Adams, Mostly Harmless

Just finished reading The Cut-Throat Trial by @barristersecret.bsky.social - a fantastic legal thriller, every chapter changed my opinion on who did it! Just when I thought I had it all worked out, another curveball comes along.

Double whammy from @barristersecret.bsky.social - doing a catch up after missing last night's My Cousin Vinny live tweet, and then there's a knock at the door...

This week, we took the cast and creatives of our upcoming Made In Northampton production, Breaking The Code, to Bletchley Park to hear more about Alan Turing's work during WWII. Thank you to Bletchley Park and historian David Kenyon, who took the team on an insightful tour.

Would really appreciate reposts for this to spread the word. So many people have given their time to support the festival, to bring something wonderful to Exeter. And if you can make it along to see some of the acts that would be brilliant. Last year’s was joyful, so let’s make that happen again.

Looks like someone has been editing Wikipedia, unless the Roman Catholic Church is getting really radical with the new choice of Pope... (start of second paragraph) @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social
Wikipedia page of papal conclave, where it states "the newest pope is to be an 8th grader named Hunter Duane Palmer and will be elected in 2026"

I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye. It’s set a long time ago.
Two men in togas in a shop. A sign says TOGAS TO GO.
Man on the left:
"Do you have a toga in an XL, please?"
Man on the right: "A size 40? Let me see..."

Important report and an issue which deserves further investigation. As a western newspaper journalist, my own posts about Gaza have often seemed to drop off the map of acquaintances’ Facebook algorithms, while I’ve had news articles about Lebanon flagged as ‘graphic content’ on Instagram.

Sketchy cartoon of a middle aged couple sitting in armchairs in a living room, looking rather glum. Between them is an elephant. The elephant is thinking "Why do I feel like these long, uncomfortable silences are all about me?"
