Glasgow office just emailed me like, "does this belong to anyone in here?" #AccidentalPartridge

Edgelord comedians sure have been quiet about free speech suddenly.

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

How are you? It's Alan (Partridge)

Me when people are suggesting the use of AI in a creative project

Have Disney pulled the Indiana Jones movies for being mean to nazis yet?

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Nobody in the early 1990s would have believed you if you said Steve Coogan would be playing Alan Partridge in a new series for the BBC in 2025. It's quite astounding what a massive lifespan that character has had without overshadowing the rest of Coogan's career.

Remember that authoritarians have ZERO sense of humor. About anything.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of Trump's criminality, his fascist policies, his support of Israel's genocide, his links with sex trafficking and his views that domestic violence isn't a crime, what were the standout looks of the state visit, BBC News?

If you're opposed to anti-fascists, what does that make you again?

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

It's quite an experience to write a book about fascism while it's escalating in real time—enabled by cowardly media institutions that capitulate their way out of existence.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

It's incredible how close the Red Arrows fly together, must take nerves of steel

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

Larry Tesler, inventor of the cut, copy, and paste commands, dies at 74.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Really funny conversation between two like-minded souls. There should definitely be a weekly podcast of Richard & Esther chatting shit. Richard & Esther's Chatting Shit Podcast (RAECSP!)

COLD HARD FACTS: 74% of political violence is perpetrated by far-right extremists. ONLY 4% is from left-wing extremism.

I want the folks who support, adulate, & agree with Charlie Kirk's history of hate to wear the "I am Charlie Kirk" shirts. Wear them publicly. Show us all—no subtlety or dog whistles. You are the man who said Black people were better off as slaves and the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. Got it.

Gonna be so many "can I just shock you? I abhor violence and don't want anybody to take up arms" heel turns from the MAGA freaks over the next few days

That's some way to describe "Jhis"lane Maxwell in the Grauniad, don't you think @herring1967.bsky.social

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

This photo alone from the new series of Alan Partridge makes me laugh

The Guardian interviews Steve Coogan about the new series of Alan Partridge

I miss my boy, that's all. A quarter of a century. You can watch them all on Al's youtube channel www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Just discovered this on YouTube by accident, a four-minute scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm in which Steve Coogan plays Larry David's inept therapist. It's SO funny. Exactly what accent is Coogan going for, though? I really can't work it out but am sure it's deliberate as he's superb at accents.

Tap are back!

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Imagine ordering 8 fighter jets to scream over Epstein survivors so they couldn’t be heard — and then asking the public to believe you’re innocent.
