Underwhelmed by Merlin ‘Entertainment’’s pledge that the gentoo penguins currently serving life at Sea Life London might get a look out of a window by 2028. For fuck’s s*ke! This continuing injustice is up there with Lucy Letby & Jeremy Bamber @ChrisGPackham @WildJustice_org

Why was Bono impersonating Jimmy Savile at U2’s fiftieth anniversary in Dublin yesterday? The songs were great, but I thought it was too soon to be channeling the old rogue?

To the Whistler exhib at Tate Britain. All the greatest hits and more nocturnes than you could throw a pot of paint at. Didn’t realise what a fine draughtsman the cantankerous old rogue was. Or what an an*l old cunt Ruskin was to bankrupt him in court. @ahistoryinart @Tate

Interesting that the BBC should invite Liverpool’s foremost Lucy Letby lookalike to present their coverage of the Thirwell report today

Poor Amol Rajan would never have indulged in such ill-disguised pleasure at Reform/Farage being set up by stunt reporters. Nick Robinson is such a pompous arse. More Emma Barnett and the other girl, please. Rajan must be spinning in his grave! @BBC @amolrajan @Emmabarnett

Here it is Rob! @birduder344

Anybody know what this animal is???? That wizard app Merlin doesn’t know, do you? My money is on a bilious fox…

Bill will be spinning in his grave. Avoid, is chatGPT’s sage advice… @IoloWilliams2 @bonxie @Birduder344 @birdingetc @BirdwatchExtra

To the Frida Kahlo at Tate Modern. Liked a self portrait didn’t she? Patron saint of lush eyebrows, she has a non binary followers who were in ecstasy. My favourite piece? ‘Woman With Raven on her Brow’ (1937) or Human League’s frontman, Phil Oakey @ahistoryinart #Frida

Cant believe the half time #bbc advert. Did Lord Reith die in vain?@BBC @bbclaurak @bbcarts

Wayne Rooney leaves BBC pundits speechless with brutal review of World Cup half-time show mirror.co.uk/sport/football/…

Spain, Argentina, Alan Shearer and Guy Mowbray all still feeling each other out at the #world_cup_final. The Geordie banality-spaffer failing to excite even more than the players.Why aren’t the Argentinians assaulting the Spaniards like they did #Tuchel’s boys? #TheRestIsFootball

Who the hell is this Dr Congo who is all over the back pages?

Summer Exhib Highlights 2.. Humphrey Ocean continuing to fuck *p the feet of birds with ‘Hobbled Curlew’; Giotto Glans’ to-die-for ‘Copper’s Helmet’; Tracey Emin’s ‘Dynamic Gas*’; Bob Champignon’s ‘Poorly Observed Horse’ . Great stuff @ahistoryinart @royalacademy

To the Summer exhib at RA. Early highlights: Milo Tittling’s ‘Cat Flaunting It’s Vadge’, Bessie Pad’s lyrical ‘Cabbage Shit’, David Hackney’s ‘Fungal Trumpets’ & Gaia Waddling’s broody ‘Iconic Cunt Sn*ke’. Another strong year indeed. @ahistoryinart @royalacademy

Excited to share my pic of keen birder Bobby ‘Ratners’ Moore, the birdwatching skipper of England’s World Cup winning team in 1966. I was only five, but vividly remember being inspired to go out into our garden and find a Garden Warbler! Talk about precocious. @ahistoryinart

Great piece on Hockney by @JANUSZCZAK in today’s Sunday @thetimes . Beguilingly, Waldy doesn’t claim to have been DG’s friend & pupil (Marr), or smoking buddy (Barber), but sums up the great man’s life with economy and objective affection. Excellent! @ahistoryinart

One of Andy Marr’s recent paintings currently on show in the capital. presumably before he started getting advice from his bestie David Hockney. The words spinning and grave, come to mind. Too soon! @ahistoryinart @JANUSZCZAK @NPGLondon
