Today's Random Stuff: Cats and Pigs and Politics

Its the weekend, so here we go with some random stuff from the lighter side. 

BBC News posted an very odd tweet about how the pandemic hadn't really affected anyone's mental health - and the internet immediately went nuts:

I never cease to be amazed by how many formerly semi credible journalists and pundits have willingly chucked all that to become the men and women sweeping up behind the elephant at the parade.

hard to believe that the network that lied about Hillary Clinton and lied about covid and lied about Seth Rich and lied about Hunter Biden and lied about Dominion voting machines would lie about what happened on January 6th. how the fuck did we Nazi this coming

Yeah, but one of the things about Hunter Biden that you're conveniently leaving out is that Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump both used personal accounts & apps for communicating while in the Trump Administration & so did other administration officials.https://t.co/wGwFiwRzt6

An amazing tribute to Van Gogh:

Loving Vincent was made by a team of 125 professional oil painters, hand-painting each frame with a pre-filmed sequence for reference.
It took 5 years... Over 60000 frames.

It made me cry... it's a beautiful love letter to Van Gogh and his legacy in the art world. https://t.co/b0We9X6Mpr

For some reason Harrison Ford was trending tonight so somebody reposted this - incredible:

“Get the fuck out of my house.”

DAVID BLAINE freaks out HARRISON FORD in his own kitchen.
