Look it's far from perfect, but here's a green screen of lonely Boris Johnson so you can put him in stuff. Have fun internet. Here's Boris Johnson instead of John Travolta turning in Pulp Fiction.

THREAD: Just fell down a wormhole on Wilhelm von Homburg's life. I only really knew him as Vigo the Carpathian and that guy in Die Hard, turns out he started his controversial career as a wrestler. His stage name being Prince Wilhem Von Homburg (birth name Norbert Grupe). His wrestling name was also incorporated into Vigos full name Prince Vigo von Homburg Deutschendorf (the Carpathian). Anyway he wrestled in the 60s in a tag team with his father. They were Viking heels and he later regretted his stage name as it landed him with Nazi connotations. Image

Very much enjoying making silly things throughout lockdown, so am putting them all in a thread here. If you like what I do, the dream is to get about 500 people to buy me a £3 coffee a month so I can just continue pumping out nonsense here for free. ko-fi.com/matthighton If you can't afford that, obviously don't do it - I'll still be an idiot! Likes & shares give me delicious dopamine, so are a sustainable alternative. Or if you're a reckless millionaire a one off donation of a cool 20k? Anyway lets start with good old Liz

Was just missing pubs and started to think about the three years during Uni, I worked at a Yatses in Leeds. Here’s a highlight thread of some of the most violent, disgusting and unbelievable things I saw during my time there. I saw a mother and daughter fight each other when they realised they’d been fingered by the same man, on the same night, in the same toilet cubicle. They were back out the next night.

THREAD If we allow ourselves to accept the concept of the Shoe People (1987-92), a show about sentient shoes living in Shoe Town, then we also must accept the overwhelming grief layered within. This is a town united in loss. Each shoe a surviving single of a once inseparable pair Initially a quirky, cheerful idea. What we are actually looking at is a mishmash of citizens who are thrown together, trying to pick up their lives after, we assume, their other, their sole mate if you will, has been plucked away from them.

It had been over 20 years since Elmo had last set foot on Sesame Street. Here he was again, clutching a wooden stake, frozen with fear at the steps of the Counts mansion. Here to finish what once he could not. Sunny days, he whispered and stepped into the dark. The musk of the air brought it all back. The interior almost entirely unchanged. The deep red of the carpet, the spattered antiques, the stairs where he had found Ernie, cold, eyes open. Dead. Still in his pyjamas.
