("Did you know he's not even real? I'm _livid_, what a waste of time!").
Also, some other visitors got a bit tied up on which one of the photos of real Victorian villains 'that Holmes might have caught' (if he wasn't pretend) was Jack the Ripper.
Magnificent.

I went to the Sherlock Holmes museum at 221b Baker Street a while back. (Footnotes here: no I didn't, the address is fictional, but the 'museum' is real, except of course it isn't). The highlight was a local lady _fuming_ because she'd just discovered that Sherlock Holmes wasn't a real person.

This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.

Scene is a young boy and his mum sat on floor of his bedroom.  He is opening his birthday presents. 

MUM:
And this one’s from Uncle Pete and Aunty Liz…

[unwrap]

[We see the toy.  It is a miserable looking rabbit character in an open fronted box with 'PRESS ME' and an arrow pointing to its ear.]

[Boy presses ear]

 RABBIT:
Bollocks. 

[the mum and boy look slightly shocked at the rabbit toy]

[close up on toy]

 [Boy presses ear again.]

I’m not doing this any more.

[Press]

I’ve reached the end of the line.

[Press]

Do you have *any idea* how many times I’ve been regifted?

[Press]

THIRTY FOUR TIMES I’ve been wrapped and unwrapped. 

[Press]

Thirty-four pairs of disappointed eyes… thirty four temporary homes…

[Press]

I've seen storage cupboards in Milton Keynes… Home-office shelves in Stoke…. moments lost in time, like tears in rain…

[Press]

I’m in the *regifting zone*, see…
Good enough to gift, but *just that bit* too shit to keep.


[mum throws the rabbit over her shoulder into the bin] 

MUM:
It’s broken 

RABBIT:
SWEET RELEASE

Obverse, bum-centered view of the white marble sculpture 'Fallen Angel' by Waldo Story, 1889. A winged, female angel figure lies supported by a young man. She's clearly in a bad way. Everyone's nude, because of course they are. The sculpture is set in the middle of Newcastle's Laing Art Gallery's cafe, so you can see it up close while you eat your scones

My last day at the Gallery, so also my last chance for a submission to @museumbums.bsky.social

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This most recent Onion is my favorite one yet and, despite a million newsier things (Pedotopia, JK Rowling breaking out of an insane asylum), this is my favorite headline in it.
