Wednesday! Pay what you can!

And adding to this no, I do not want the Fringe to stop. I do not want it to move to England. The solution is not simply to abandon the biggest (and yes, despite everything, best) arts festival in the world. If you love something, you try and fix it.

Only an American paper could describe Norway as somewhere that needs putting 'on the map'

All good points but I think we should also be talking about the big venues and Edinburgh uni making fat stacks whilst underpaying their staff not to mention Fringe society exec dir getting £100k per year whilst we lowly comics must pay £300-400 just to be in the brochure

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Italy Issues Travel Ban On Italian Americans

Me liking pro and anti England comments

This is what happens when Norway go back to the dressing room. They relax into their natural state as pencil sketch animations

England absolutely loving their chance to be the colonised underdog for once (Gentle humour non combative were all having a little laugh here)

Sorry but they should have let Ally McCoist commentate this one he's just good at it

I do think if we get flower of Scotland (do we?) they should let England have Jerusalem, an out and out banger

Pretty confident women bring pictures of Erling Haaland to their filler appointments

Ask your mum what she says

Not worth the hassle

oh yeah can AI do this?? (sends a work email ending with “brest wishes”)

What???

As Andy Burnham is so confident of becoming PM he's ALREADY said Scotland can't have another referendum, here's the UK prime minister explaining why (for the nth time) youtube.com/shorts/z_XRI...

France are just too good even when they’re not good

English jounralists repeatedly asking Scots if they'll be supporting England is very Marge's 'But I don't care about being cool, that makes me cool, right?' bit from the Simpsons

Is my ultimate claim to fame in the history books going to be that I once wrote on the same Have I got News For You episode as the future Prime Minister?

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.

Well actually 1 woman = .5 of a man, and 1 child= 0.25, so if you think about it, the equivalent of only about 5 men were murdered that day

Mary Jane Seacole (1805 – 1881) was a British-Jamaican business woman and nurse who set up the British Hotel behind the lines during the Crimean War. #CelebratingWomen

One of my most popular tweets.

Serious questions should be asked as to how the supposedly non-biased BBC can justify airing a broadcast completely operated by Reform UK themselves. Nigel Farage should not been given complete editorial control of what is being aired on our national public service broadcaster.

Well, we may have lost but at least we look like we cheated

Naturally, scandal #275 will be the one that brings him down, and may I add what a healthy media environment you have there.

It's not over yet! We must keep fighting to ensure a permanent ban!

I am very excited and really proud of this show, which has been two years in the making, and the finished result is, imo the best version

People talk about a game being "one for the purists", Paraguay v France is one for the absolute sickos. No-one should enjoy this. And yet. #WorldCup

That was bananas! You'd think it was a Disney film were Paraguay were the designated villains

French Hydration Break.

Also did anyone else hear the commentator ask if Paraguay had a coast

Now I know who jimmy butler is and I'm invested. Straight on the life inspo board

It was worth the wait

Bluesky where is that picture of the guy (player) drinking a glass of wine during the hydration break?
