A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Kingling.” Below, the word is defined as “a little king; a weak, petty, or insignificant potentate.” To the right, a detailed black-and-white illustration shows a smug, short man in royal robes and holding a large crown over his own head that he is about to place upon his own head. A taller man stands behind the little king, holding a large money bag marked with a dollar sign, suggesting bribery or corruption. Beneath the definition is a long, satirical example sentence criticizing the “kingling” as boastful, corrupt, and morally depraved.

Kingling [KING-ling]
(n.)
- A little king; a weak, petty, or insignificant potentate.

“Snigger” and “Awww”.

Catching up while I’ve been away but my favourite current dinosaur has to be the cassowary…those bastards look well hard.

Mrs B sounds like a top human being 👍

Two things I dislike a lot but currently I’m coming down on the side of the Catholics…better art and architecture mainly, not to mention a bit more compassion and empathy (sometimes 😉)

Schmuck is being kind…I prefer the Janey Godley version

Every single thing his supporters claim to care about gets hideously abused by him in the end. Up to and including their faith. But still they fawn…

It was a shame it got cancelled before they resolved the mystery of Jeff’s disappearance

Not entirely sure why I typed Eno in caps until I started this post and noticed that auto correct did it 🤬

There are now 10 toilets in Space

International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1
Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1
Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1
Artemis II on way around Moon: 1

This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!

Legendary Brit DJ John Peel once played this album backwards by accident because it was delivered to the BBC on reel to reel tape which hadn’t been properly rewound. ENO rang the BBC to speak to Peel and let him know but the receptionist “didn’t like his tone” and wouldn’t put him through. 🧐

Living in a Make-A-Wish simulation for one demented pedophile stinks.

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

A tough day for anyone trying to work out where the real news ends and the April Fools begin

NATO is a defence alliance to ensure support if a member is attacked, not a gang who agree to join in if one idiot launches an illegal and unplanned attack on another country. Everyone knows this except the most powerful man in the world.

It's April Fools day!

Comic book artist search post:

Looking for a Black British artist, preferably from the West Midlands (not essential but would be a big plus), who has a naturalistic style and comfortable with slice of life drama/comedy.

If they're familiar with the 1980s and 90s, that's a big plus, too.

Everything Is Fake - Everything Is Fake and Nobody Cares - 2. Kayfabe Country - BBC Sounds Could wrestling really be the birthplace of modern fakery? Jamie Bartlett investigates.

I’ve just heard the kayfabe episode of Everything Is Fake (and nobody cares) on BBC Sounds and it’s made everything about current US politics so much clearer. The whole rotten MAGA edifice is based around the showbiz, soap opera premise of WWE professional wrestling. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Not a good look while their president is talking down the UK with every late night, drug-addled social media post he makes.

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face:

Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences.

For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

Obviously if you are Stephen King, Russell T Davies, David Attenborough, Barack Obama, Margaret Atwood, Meryl Streep, Bruce Springsteen or a similar luminary I am prepared to make an exception...🧐

A photo of my bio, which explains that I don't DM with people if I don't know them and that I will politely give new followers one chance if they missed this but after that they get blocked.

For all the people who might like to follow my nonsense who don't bother reading bios here's a photo of my bio, which explains my DMing policy. Porn accounts, right-wing, MAGA and other assorted idiots will be blocked without the polite explanation part. Thank you for your attention in this matter 😉

Good morning, and a quick reminder that your gender identity and expression doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but yourself x

I bloody hope so. I can’t deal with it for too much longer. My main wish now is to live long enough to see the end of Trump, Putin, Farridge et al and life to return to the sane timeline.

There’s always a silver lining. Bitch started all of this bollocks we’re going through, so I still hate her with every fibre of my being (even though she was pro-Europe).

Shame. I used to love seeing these in Sounds. Brought my inner nerd fully out. RIP Pete

Bravo Beth! Top punning 👏👏👏

Shame. I was looking forward to seeing how this turned out.
