I love drawing fairies. This watercolor was inspired by silvermist from Disney fairies.

"Oh, perhaps we could assign it to the actual Indian Ocean, as that's quite a persuasive 💰 argument 💰."

"... Or perhaps NASA would like to administer it on behalf of the aliens on Io until we make contact..."

Sounds like they just won't be renewed when they expire.

I'm sure they look like hearts when they are blown up.

Like pretty much all successful free-to-play video games, Genshin Impact is designed so that it doesn’t cost you anything to play, but holds out the promise of more fun if you are willing to throw some cash its way to pay for microtransactions that provide you with special items or extra perks. As of this week, though, there’s some paid Genshin Impact content that comes with arguably the greatest loot of all: real-world fried chicken.

On Wednesday, KFC Japan began offering a Genshin Impact combo meal, dubbed the Genshin Collaboration Magician Pack. Gracing the special box are illustrations of sorcerous siblings Lyney and Lynette, drawn in super-deformed proportions and decked out in striped outfits inspired by KFC’s design aesthetic.

 

A fake blue plaque has been erected outside a Tesco in Walthamstow to commemorate the fact that the lettuce that famously outlasted Liz Truss’s premiership was bought there.

 

A woman discovered her house had been broken into by a burglar who hung out her washing, put her shopping away and cooked a meal on her stove.

 

A cinema that has been open for more than three decades will close on Sunday.

Bedford Cineworld will close permanently as part of a restructuring process after the company entered administration in July 2023.

A multi-screen cinema has been at the Aspects leisure park site since 1990, and it was run by the Virgin Group before Cineworld took over in 2005.

The chain said in a statement: "We would like to thank all of our customers, past and present, for choosing Cineworld Bedford as their local cinema."

Vue now operate the only remaining cinema in the town at Riverside Square.

Cineworld had announced plans to close six cinemas across the UK as part of a wide-ranging restructuring plan.

It was estimated the chain had a debt of almost £4bn.

The company said it would enter negotiations with landlords at an unspecified number of sites to try to reduce costs.

These negotiations saved a Cineworld in Leicestershire.

Being overly fake nice because you want a tip. Tbh I'd be more inclined to tip you if you left me alone and stopped talking to me.

The whole tipping thing in USA is weird. Everyone wants a tip, it's entirely random (as a non-American) how much tip to give. Just pay your staff a wage they can actually live on ffs.

Not a clue!

I thought it was sausage and cheese. Maybe it's bangers and mash - splash (pretty surely that's not normal cockney and still doesn't make sense anyway)

 

The UK has announced it is giving up sovereignty of a remote but strategically important cluster of islands in the Indian Ocean after more than half a century.

Not really! Just excess water which has made a bit of a stream...

There's no path there, it could well have been a water course. There is an existing river nearby, and having looked on a map, there seems to be a gap which this water could well be filling in.
