One more Charles Addams cartoon that has foxed me. Barbershop. Surprise, bemusement. Pile of feathers. I have NO CLUE what this means. Why would a bird be in a barbershop? And if it was a bird, some feathers did get trimmed so why did it leave so abruptly? Huh? Any ideas??

Just been enjoying ‘Monster Rally’, a collection of cartoons by Charles Addams. Two favourites: Morticia Addams writing a letter to Gomez, and “George! George! Drop the keys!” One cartoon I didn’t quite get, maybe I’m overthinking it - 1\2

So: giant sculpture, and behind a screen a giant woman is getting undressed. Is the joke that she’s so big it’s actually a life-size sculpture? Or is there something else I’m not seeing? I’m over complicating this, aren’t I? 2\2

Journalists falling over themselves to interview Boris Johnson should understand that most of us don’t want to see his face nor hear his voice ever again. But if you want to put him in one of those Red Bull soapbox cars and chuck him down the steepest cobblestoned fucking hill in the uk we’ll be there with a folding chair and a flask of tea.

Just picked up my phone and… was it always this heavy? Could be my advancing decrepitude. Or is there extra bacon in the new iOS 18?

BREAKING: With an overwhelming majority, and for the first time in 42 years, the UNGA today voted for imposing sanctions on Israel! The world’s global majority affirmed that the historic ruling by the ICJ triggers the legal obligation of all states to end complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid regime. States have the duty to impose a comprehensive #MilitaryEmbargo as well as trade, energy, academic, and other sanctions, as was done against apartheid South Africa. #SanctionIsrael

Rebecca Horn has modded her last piano, RIP
A piece very dear to my heart, Rebecca Horn's CONCERT FOR ANARCHY is back at Tate Modern. In the tanks. But it's broken atm so not much concert or indeed anarchy just now :(

This was so fascinating. I had a teflon knitting needle on @ISS and charged it by rubbing with my Russian fur boots. Then I directed water droplets from a syringe towards the charged knitting needle and this is the resulting dynamics. The droplets, due to charge forces, go into a crazy orbit around the knitting needle. If planets were cylindrical this would be the orbit of its moons due to gravity.

Would you leave it lying in the street or pick it up and put it on the nearby wall?
