A barber's shop with a sign that says 'Cut U Up 3'. There are smaller letters below that offer services such as 'cut & finish', 'skin fade', 'hot towel shave', 'beard styling', 'beard trim', 'ear flame', 'cut', 'wash' and 'eyebrow trim'. A man stands in front of the shop smoking a cigarette

This all sounds really painful. Is this why men are sad?

I've been doing some research into locations in Prague using Google Maps, and either the guy who was tasked to take the photos got the camera position wrong, or there's a small hairy ghost haunting large swathes of the city.

IT IS A GIFT TO THE WORLD NOT TO HAVE BABIES

Actors' awful bands Everyone knows Keanu Reeves's band and Thirty Seconds to Mars, but what about lesser known TV...

Big update of actorsawfulbands.tumblr.com where if you last long enough you will be rewarded with Russell Grant's cover of No Matter What Sign You Are!

Text reads 'you wouldn't bung a roush'. Text is white against s black background and is in the style of the 'you wouldn't steal a car' anti-piracy adverts that used to appear at the beginning of videos in the UK

Street art mural of a beared white man wearing a brown hoodie & baseball cap bending over and writing. Behind it is a concrete tower block

Street art mural of a white bearded bald man in a brown vest top, holding his hands out in a gesture of perhaps hopelessness. Behind him in the paiting is a landscape with a viaduct. The painting itself is egg- shaped and on the wall in front of it is a number of parcel collection lockers

Street art mural of a black man with a tattooed belly holding a child. Both have gold sppheres around their head that resemble halos

An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. @thebookishtype.bsky.social, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Go support them!

Some examples of the folliate heads found in St Edith's church, Eaton under Heywood, Shropshire. Aren't they wonderful?

The Nave roof dates from the 15th century and the chancel roof about 1600. This is such a remarkable church!

ABORTION

Large tabby cat dives for the plate, held off only by my daughter's arm.

Daughter gently lifts the cat off the table, the cat still very much in "let me at that food" mode.

Eid Mubarak. Here is my daughter fending off a Beirut cat who belongs to the cafe but wanders in and out depending on the menu. If you celebrate, may your meal be as tempting as the makdous bi labneh was to this kitty.

Should be no 2 surely

Been fixated on the abandoned broken keyboard in the river next to my new flat and @djdignitas.bsky.social pointed out it’s probably because it looks like the aftermath of the “Propaganda” album cover by Sparks.

Someone on Facebook asked what people's favourite perfume is and it's due to this that I've learned there's a men's fragrance company called Trumper

I also used to work at NTL. There weren't many highlights, but the best call I ever took was from a well-spoken woman who said:
I'm calling to cancel the Adult Channel...'
