With six toes that gave her very wide paws, the kitten mascot for Admiral Richard Byrd's 1933 expedition to Antarctica was aptly named "Snowshoes". In addition to her big paws, Snowshoes had a big appetite. Crew members were astounded at how she devoured fish that were bigger than she was.

Most people are not special, rational, or particularly good. They're tribal primates running social scripts, ranking status, and defending comforting lies over evidence. Intelligence, drive, and outcomes are heavily genetic. Equality of result is a fantasy. The average person will never produce anything of lasting value, and the world is carried by a thin minority they resent.

I've been to Aberdeen and winter lasts from June until mid April, this would be too confusing.
Should Aberdeen schools have 'winter cards' instead of Christmas cards? bbc.in/3UGjP4X

Francesca Annis and Jon Finch on a beach in North Wales, where they were filming Macbeth. Alfred Hitchcock liked his performance so much that he cast him as the lead in Frenzy. Probably peak Finch. He had the looks, charisma and voice to be a star, but didn't want to be one.

PMQs saw Kemi Badenoch raise one if the great mysteries of the age: Lisa Nandy's continued presence as Culture Secretary. thecritic.co.uk/more-questio…

ALT The Tory leader turned her fire on Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh: “She is only in the job because the Culture Secretary turned it down.” It was a reference to a stunning line in the FT that Burnham had originally offered the Energy job to Lisa Nandy, who had refused to leave the Department of Culture. This was startling because Nandy has spent two years showing no interest whatever in her brief and expressing vocal contempt for pretty much everyone involved in Britain’s £130 billion cultural sector. The best explanation for her behaviour is that she’s learned there’s treasure buried under the department’s offices, and she’s spending her evenings trying to dig it up.

If you want to know who rules you, look at whose pubes are kept in an museum. Or something. I dunno.

Quite something that all the “safeguarding” she was doing as a minister seems to have been for the pedos.

“I’d appreciate it if you didn’t tell anyone about my busy hands. Not so much for myself but because my crap rip-offs of Roald Dahl written by other people are so best-selling it would damage the country to hear about it”

Jonathan Ross: “The comedy awards is 15 years old… and like most 15-year-olds, it's drunk, it's unpredictable, and it's probably going home with David Walliams.”
Everyone knew. Just like they did with Russell Brand.

I was really sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Tony Webb, one half of the Webb Twins.
He was best known for his role in ‘Hi-De-Hi!’ As Bruce Matthews.
Tony died earlier this year and his death was announced by his brother, David Webb on Saturday at the Cinema Museum.
Absolutely adored his performance in ‘Hi-De-Hi!’, however his career spanned several decades and started in the working men’s club with his brother.
My condolences to his family.
❤️🕊️
