The fonts his "tag"
Is it his tag done in hand sanitiser or something?
Thats Banksy? Its pretty ugly, I thought he was supposed to be good.
I believe Banksy has admitted that he is not very good at the actual graffiti, hence his judicious use of stencils. The art is the statement.

Police hear plenty of wild excuses when they pull a person over for speeding, but one Australian man’s real sssstory might be a cut above the rest.

The 27-year-old man, identified by police only as “Jimmy,” says he used a knife and a seatbelt to fight off a deadly brown snake that had coiled around his leg while he was driving a truck in Queensland, Australia, on June 15. Police pulled him over after clocking the vehicle at 123 kilometres an hour, but they let him go after they heard his incredible story — and saw the dead snake that proved it.

Queensland Police released bodycam footage of the roadside stop on Wednesday in a Facebook post that admitted the “slimy passenger” would make any driver “hyssssterical.”
 
No, he was pulled over for 123.
 
That's 76 mph. Slower than I was expecting.
 
Mother***ing snakes in this mother****ing car!
 
Russian footballer hit by lightning, back in training within 3 weeks.
Russian goalkeeper Ivan Zaborovsky, 16, has made a remarkable recovery after he was struck by lightning during a training session earlier this month.
Footage of the freak incident showed the teenager being hit by the bolt as he went to kick a ball into the goal, while his teammates were training near the touchline.
The video then shows Zaborovsky falling to the ground before he was rushed to the hospital.
The Znamya Truda keeper was placed into an induced coma while his injuries were assessed but, after less than three weeks, Zaborovsky is back playing with the senior side.
The promising youngster, who recently signed a new contract with the Russian third-tier club, says he doesn't remember the incident and has just a burn on his chest as a result.
"It was difficult to breathe, but that's about it," he said. "It's getting better and better now. Things are back to normal."​
 
them real Aviation people , because they don't have access to real Men in Black , get very stuffy about when people start grumbling about money . ı actually let them have the hundred or so millions of dollars New Turkey had paid to be in , like 10 years ago. ı have never been forgiven , except maybe ı would if ı gave away fusion , or more recently the cure to corona . Vaccine search somewhere is apparently being called Operation Warp Drive ? Wait , that means ı gotta let them the drive if ı and not them want people alive ... So , ı would hazard to suggest you should be some fan of some other plane , so that real aviation people would take you as an ordinary loser and not a threat to their sacred cow of making a trillion like until 2070 .

so , am reading things and discover them US lawmakers have added some 862 million dollars to the budget to buy an extra 14 Footpads . 6 new , 8 of them already built for the aerial branch of Army of Petrol . The unit cost must be like 78 millions . Being an idiot , ı do the stuff ... 6 times 78 and subtract that from 862 ... The rest must be for the 8 already done . Which comes out as 49,25 millions per . So , this can't be the money paid by Ankara , because it would be over a billion already . Are they funding extra spares ? ls this the cost of modifications to bring it upto American standarts ? Considering people have been hazed online at every opportunity when mentioning that there would be at least two standarts . One for gods like Americans and copying the Russian monkey exports , one for donkeys ? lt surely is impossible for stealth coating of a lesser form to be stripped clean and replaced by the godlike American form ? Will anyone enlighten me about this ? Maybe those who are following me from some distance , despite the thing that they can't understand in a sense "This is English [language] but not the way we know it" , you know , with due diligence in suppressing everyone and everything under the sterling principle of "only Lockmart trolls allowed" ?
 
sure enough not Lockmart , not BAe , not Pentagon , not US State Department , not the Klingon Chancellor but a moderator somewhere with the accusation that people are liars and unjustly claim America studied suicide type aircraft in WW ll to intercept enemy bombers , you know the last time a Taran happened it was 1970 something with a Russian MiG-21 pilot killing himself and American historical accounts wet themselves at the sacrifice because let me see , the Russian pilot could not tell a Phantom from a T-33 and the captured lranian and American crew walked away scotfree ... You know , people will be banned and bigshots in DC will ignore the thing , because why all Turks are liars and they claim America studied ramming as an interception technique !!!!!!!!! F-35 will shame T-65 and no T-65 can even ram an F-35 . Come on , all those slimy things in Pentagon , let's go and make people happy with getting themselves proven !
 
What the duck? Bloke keeps getting sent bathtime toys in the post – though Amazon won't say who's responsible
A chap from County Durham in northeast England is suffering a very specific mallardy – one of rubber ducks sent to his home address from Amazon with alarming regularity.
The Northern Echo reports that 76-year-old Peter Jackson has received a bathtime plaything "almost every day" for the better part of three weeks.
Among the mystery packages have also been cheese crackers and dog treats, which is fortunate because Jackson says he does own a dog, but the poor bloke hasn't the foggiest who is sending them or why.
The parcels continue, now with added messages like "For your boo boos xxx From Fake Doctor," and "DUCK, DUCK....QUACK From Goose."
There have been suggestions that Jackson is the victim of a "brushing scam", where sellers create fake orders to boost their ratings and send the products to any old address. But Amazon denied that's what's happening, offering the Echo this poultry excuse:
"We have looked into the matter to ensure there is nothing webbed afoot. Mr Jackson is not going quackers, someone indeed is sending him rubber ducks. While we can't reveal the customers true feathers, we can assure Mr Jackson he will not be receiving a 'bill'."
Gawd, that's almost as bad as the rest of this article. The Reg contacted Amazon to confirm, and asked about the prevalence of such scams on the e-commerce site.​

He will soon be a mutant. I propose the name Thunderstruck.

Hm... I didn't know spiders can regrow lost limbs. TIL.
When people eat them in their sleep they don't always eat the whole spider.
That's why that urban myth about eating x number of spiders in a lifetime is wrong. It's usually just one spider but several times.
