NOOOOOOOO.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943.

Only one cat has ever received the award.

This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Shocking lack of research here. Are you Peters or are you Lee? If it was someone from Earth, Wind & Fire I’d cut you some slack but it’s 50/50 ffs 😂

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT (who left us 19yrs ago today) was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Still, they all kill each other eventually.

Watched them all again over lockdown. Brilliant, creepy & compelling.

Our interview with the President of Ukraine is out now.

Alastair speaks with Zelenskyy about everything from the personal toll of the war and his daily calls with his mother, to the bigger picture: Putin’s mindset, US involvement, and the shaping of new alliances.

Link in the replies.

Bloody hell

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:

Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

Fabulous. And my house is slap bang in the middle of the cover 😁

Tbf the ref took a massive dive for the Di Canio one 😆

My parish church. Spectacular interior.

Martinelli is such a knob #SOUARS

How did I not know of the existence of this account before today!!!

I have a recurve bow. Will this do?

And before that it was my Liverpool Poly foundation art building. Best days of my life spent in there

A fine afternoon’s work. Have a drink.

Screenshot of a tweet: Ben Graham @BenGrahamUK X.com Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word 'Easter' on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial? Above a photo of Easter Eggs

Screenshot of a tweet: ClIr Jaymey Mclvor * @McivorJaymey x.com Any chance I can get an Easter Egg please M&S? Will they ever learn It's like they do it on purpose to offend. Easter is not National Chocolate Day. Which extremists are you trying hard to not offend? @marksandspencer @GBNEWS Above images of Easter Eggs in M&S

🧵And we're off, ladies and gentlemen!

It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week.

Regular as clockwork...

So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread!

PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji?

This was the best I could do - 🗿🥚

🤣 I digress!

Omg watch this with the sound on 😆

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Your reminder that in 1998 this was considered a perfectly acceptable title for a movie.

A bad drawing of West German footballer Jurgen Klinsmann, circa 1990, doing a big old dive. His hand's cover his face in apparent agony as his blond locks flail behind him. The drawing is rendered in the style of a faux football sticker, and is of questionable artistic value.

8️⃣6️⃣ more days of posting a poorly drawn World Cup moment every day until the tournament kicks-off or until we forget to post one

Today: it's 1990, and West Germany's Jurgen Klinsmann feels contact and is entitled to go down

A rather worse-for-wear leather flask, with a large Celtic harp scratched into the surface.

Celebrate #StPatricksDay with a flask of Tudor Guinness!🍀

Yes, we know the harp symbol predates Guinness, and represents the Celtic ruling classes, but we wanted to do something fun, and this wine flask was perfect...
