to summarise how politics has changed in the last 20 years, if Doctor Who whispered “don’t you think s/he looks tired” as an attempt to undermine a national leader now, the logical next story beat would be the Doctor being bundled into a van or simply shot by one of the leader’s supporters

I've made a 'jubensha-lite' with the excellent @chloemashiter.bsky.social @arlohoward.bsky.social and @hannahraymondcox.bsky.social (aka Incog). there's strictly 6 players per run and we have ONE TICKET LEFT on 26/9 at COLAB's Invitational Theatre Festival! tickets.colabtheatre.co.uk/event/45126?...

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

people kept insisting the blairites were not in fact back, but here we are again, on another good day to bury bad news,

quite apart from “why the fuck hasn’t he been sacked yet” on principle alone, how is he supposed to do the job of *our ambassador to the world’s largest economy*? “hi thanks for taking the meeting, just to clarify a couple of things you might’ve seen-“

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Sorry but this is still so, so funny.

happy “and, consequently,” day!

Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.

god I hate this I hate this I hate it I hate it, I hate that the mainstream right has gone this mad and racist and radicalised, I hate that no one seems to know how to stop it from getting worse, it worries me so much and I hate it all

In addition to the below, the whole 'repressing ideas just makes them stronger', okay, please discuss in the context of 'Russian support for Vladimir Putin', 'pro-democracy campaigners in China'. Censorship is startlingly effective. 'Sunlight' does not kill ideas!

yeah tbf (if ‘fair’ is the word) this isn’t even quiet part loud, it’s saying It with your whole chest

My dad (76) and his friend (my dad’s the one in blue) have started a five day cycling tour from Barnsley to Rutland and I’m fairly sure neither of them have particularly strong opinions on migrant hotels. Honestly, folks, just get your elderly relatives into a hobby.

probably the number 2 top Kelly of all time (1 is Ned)

me: itv losing the Tour de France is a blow, but also coincides with a dominant rider that may mean it’s a less interesting contest to watch anyway. Goodnight, Gary and co, but I can move on also me: if vingegaard somehow wins this I will strip naked and scream until god is pulled from his throne

the really annoying bit about this China thing is that CommunistAntipopeDalaiLama has been my go-to unguessable sequence of words for years, and now it’ll be a crap password

Okay. Short rambling thread. But about how i have learned to accept that I am "pony famous" and how, and why, you need to not talk down people who love what you do. This is for minor writers or creators everywhere. Read this. /1

Hey one of my closest friends is raising money for top surgery. If you have the money your dination could make a difference. (I'll make you a deal, send me proof of a donation and I'll shoot over a free PDF of any rat wave game you want)

for one beautiful moment, the two drunk guys repeatedly singing the chorus of country roads created a harmony so moving that I felt it reverberate through this tube platform as if it were a cathedral. then they went back to dreck and slop

This is THE tweet of all time

“Dresden? Sounds gay. Get rid.”

AND INTRODUCING BILLIE PIPER

I have a pdf somewhere which is a pitch deck for investment in an immersive theatre experience built entirely on this premise

I’m sounding more and more like @edzitron.com about this but I do think the bubble bursting is going to lead to more than one existential crisis among people who feel a future (which was never going to happen) has been stolen from them

[lips touching the mic] yes. and that’s good, actually

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

we finally have our first pope who has appeared as a background character in The Bear

it's me.

the glasman stuff is interesting in one respect (and one respect only) because usually people who get breathlessly echoed whenever they make ‘interventions’ have like, at some point, even long ago, won elections. glasman is a peer who got blanked by Ed Miliband and played no part in the Lab 24 win
