You can't just ask somebody that, you've got to work up to it

Just had a nice evening chatting with friends over cocktails and beers. But I am starting to feel slightly like a dad with conversations as enthralling as "what's the second best salt and vinegar crisp" and "what's your favourite cable"

One of my proudest pieces,
"Isometric Exercise"

Painting by Lee Madgwick of a floating tower block crumbling from the bottom in a flat landscape and stormy sky.

Painting by Lee Madgwick. An old remnant of a seaside resort under a moody sky. Three attached premises face the unseen sea from the promenade. Two deckchairs are positioned on the beach.

A painting by Lee Madgwick of a lone abandoned, partially boarded up ruin under storm clouds.

A painting by Lee Madgwick. A brutalist building with an exterior staircase. Birds fly by. ‘Hope’ is scrawled in graffiti at the top.

Hi #portfolioday I’m Lee, I’m a painter from England. I have a penchant for abandoned and derelict buildings - an unhealthy obsession that finds its way into my strange and unsettling universe.

You can hear that shit in your head clear as day

The last few seconds of this has finished me off truly, just comedy gold delivery

Pitchfork headline: “Watch Geese Cover Justin Bieber's Baby at Coachella 2026”

This is called smothering and it’s a crime!!

can't believe i just saw this explicit content at work. going to hr now

tweet from Imagine A Guy guy who only knew jesus professionally: Honey, did you hear they CRUCIFIED our CARPENTER???

This is so sweet! I really hope you feel better again soon teafy ❤️

They constantly try to distract us, to demean truth, to confuse us, target our anger toward scapegoats. So never let the powers that be make you forget: the older daughter in the "Beethoven" movies, about the St Bernard, had the first name of "Rice" for some reason

screenshot of the amazon prime video tv app. the film "the prince of egypt" is highlighted, and its description reads "join skipper, kowalski, rico and private in their spy-tacular new adventure, brought to you by the creators of madagascar". this is not the correct description for the prince of egypt, but seemingly actually refers to the penguins of madagascar

Sterling K. Brown explains the streaming economics of why we don’t get more eps

Ahhh thank you both! Never seen this before, be nice if it clarified rather than just saying "Blocked". Appreciate you explaining!

Ryan Gosling is too hot to be the one genius they send into space, so I'm afraid Project Hail Mary loses a star from me

I have questions for MrBeast.

Who is this guy and why am I blocked by him? Genuinely

An independent *artisan market* near me has recently got really into sharing AI slop artwork and videos.

On FB they put out an open call for musicians and someone in the comments asked how much they pay artists. I replied "judging by the artwork here, not much".

Anyway now I'm blocked lmao

it's giving Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. I'm excited

holy shit congratulations!!

Call me when someone's playing Electroplankton at the O2

Screenshot of Verge article (linked in post) titled "Spotify is letting artists manually approve releases to combat AI fakes"

Quote from article stating that artists can opt in to a system where they must manually approve songs before they appear on their Spotify profile

Quote from the same article mentioning that artists can include a password with music to get it approved. Like you'd fuckin expect would've been implemented day one

How was this guardrail not always a feature?? Like, if I'm designing a way for artists to release music on my platform, surely the first fucking thing I'd make sure of would be that nobody else could just upload anything to their profile?

Amidst a busy concert crowd, we see somebody pointing their Nintendo 2DS up. Yes, they were filming the gig with it

Turns out Girl on Right was actually just gearing up for her shift as an avant-garde filmmaker

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

The standing crowd for Gorillaz is great fun. One side of me, someone playing Pokémon on their Nintendo 2DS. On the other, a girl engaging in debate related to their phone note titled "top 10 GAYEST MUPPETS"

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

As a pre-teen in the eighties I would go in the bath and my younger sisters would gather round chanting "bring out the Branston" from the popular advert. I would then proceed to squeeze out a teeny tiny poo to much applause. What can I say, the black & white TV was on the blink.
