Three books about the artist Monet, lined up so the spines read Monet, Monet, Monet.

An Invention of Collective Nouns   A reckoning of spreadsheets. A distraction of smartphones. A prattle of podcasts. A mispronunciation of scones.   A clique of photographers. A heard of precedents. An enjambment of poets. A grope of presidents.   A pile of haemorrhoids. A bunion of personal trainers. A bout of estimations. A condescension of mansplainers.   A stroke of geniuses. A spot of adolescents. An embarrassment of Richards. A collection correction of pedants. Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘An Invention of Collective Nouns’.

The Shart Of The Deal

This, for the benefit of monumental fuckwits everywhere, would *not* be an act of anti-Semitism.

Même après la crise, les boîtes pétrolières vont continuer à se faire un max de thune. Pour elles, on a déjà accepté les prix forts. Ça va baisser un tout petit peu, mais comptez pas revoir les tarifs d'avant cette guerre de merde. 🤬

Two idiots on a walk this morning.
Still with a combined intellect greater than the entirety of the current squatter in the White House and his ‘administration’.

What a dick.

Same, robot. Same

Maybe a Trump whisperer?

Don’t get me wrong, the whole thing stinks, but the prospect of Trump wreaking havoc with UK-US relations may have had something to do with it?

Yes, I think I prefer Sam’s delivery.

Someone in the Pentagon press office has
a) a very good sense of humour
b) an admirable but dangerous desire to see Hegseth absolutely barbecued.
Bravo 👏🏼

Given that 99% of everything ‘Trump says’ is total bollocks, maybe @bbcnews we could dispense with beginning every fucking headline with ‘Trump says’…?

Here’s some platane pollen for you.
Headed your way.
Oh and a couple of idiot dogs for good measure.

Rémi Barroux, Stéphane Davet, Laure Gasparotto et Sébastien Jenvrin ont goûté à l’aveugle quelque 245 rouges des belles appellations languedociennes.

Tough job, I guess, but someone’s got to do it, etc.

Think I may have done similar, but slightly more ‘aléatoire’…

Why anyone in their right mind would want to go anywhere near Infantino and his corrupt circus is entirely beyond me.
Why a supposedly compassionate, liberal activist like Chris Martin would want to touch it, even with a barge pole, beggars belief.
Money talks, I guess.

You can have half-time ads without a fucking show.
Ask ITV.

Unless he’s just bashing the bishop with some divine intervention…?

What’s Hungarian for cojones?

Behold, another second coming. But this one is Donald Trump – WAY BETTER than that Jesus guy | Marina Hyde The Middle East on fire, a spat with the pope – and he posts himself as Potus Almighty. Will his disciples now see that their messiah has feet of clay, asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

JD Vance ‘could last night be found pontificating that the pontiff should “stick to matters of morality”. In which case, his holiness may well have further legitimate questions of this degenerate administration.’

Marina Hyde is wonderful.
That is all.

We should bring back stocks, or the pillory, for humiliating punishment for these kinds of lowlife creeps.
But instead of heads and arms being exposed, it should be other parts of their anatomy.

Nope.

Brets.

Trump and Netanyahu ‘upended the global economy’, you say?
‘Possibility of worldwide recession’?
But the billionaires will still get richer and more billionairy, eh?
Cos that’s just what they do.
With a little help from their friends.

I didn't. And it's the coolest thing.

Bit tricky for populists to pick up on the anti-populist drift.
But, as populists, of course they'll give it a go.

Hey, look, Popes aren’t infallible y’know.

Oh, wait…

Looks like JD Vance did a great job in Hungary.
Like the great job he did converting to Catholicism and getting the Pope onside.
Like the great job he did in Pakistan this weekend.
Trump’s top VP pick.
So much winning.

It’s called a no brainer

And at the same time, Farage’s brain might explode.
