The thing about ID cards is: I dont need to be more accountable to the state, the state needs to be more accountable to me. So in the spirit of transparency, offerty fuck Sir Kier.

QWEEEEM TIRED LAST BEDDDTIEMM SHHHHHHHH

Exciting!

So this is coming up and it would be great if people could get behind it! comedy.army

Shit. I’m being un-raptured 😭 turns out when Jesus said his dad’s ineffable I shouldn’t have said “I’ll eff him”

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...

The reason I continue to point out how evil Democrats/liberals are is because they occupy the entire space for opposition...which is why there is no opposition to fascism right now. If we don't dismantle that cult there will be no change, it will only get worse.

Labour want ID cards SO FUCKING MUCH. Remember: Churchill thought they were too authoritarian.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

REAL HUMAN SKULL @andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social

It turns out that those who railed against cancel culture and censorship have no qualms resorting to cancel culture and censorship when it serves their political interests.

See me live on tour! I’m going to Leicester, Northampton, Bristol, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Taunton, Southend-on-sea, Cambridge, Southampton, Leeds, Liverpool, Guildford and Brighton. www.livenation.co.uk/matt-green-t...

Saturday: Musk declares a nascent civil war on a giant screen in front of 100,000+ people. No action taken. Tuesday: Imagery of Trump and Epstein is projected on a wall. Police make 4 arrests on suspicion of "malicious communication." Oh yes Peter Kyle, free speech is "alive and well". For some.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Another begging letter from me telling you I'm now only 2.8k subs away from 100k on YouTube! Subscribe NOW for all the same stuff you get here but with more snarky replies from me in the comments www.youtube.com/@EleanorMort...

Crowd interaction at the Frog and Bucket

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Imagine a presenter on an arts show on Radio 4 saying that shit about Rothko or Pollock or Dali or Picasso. What a cunt. And well done Stew for calling him out so brilliantly. (If you haven’t heard Stewart Lee eviscerating Matthew Paris on Great Lives, have a listen. It’s refreshing!)

Cancel culture = asking people to use correct pronouns. Not cancel culture = getting people fired coz they weren’t sufficiently sad about a dead Nazi YouTuber.

We can’t give in to nihilism and ironic detachment, that is complying in advance. Find hope and joy, and anger and spite and stay in the fucken game. We got this

Remember the “narco terrorist” boat that Trump bombed? Venezuela reports all 11 killed were civilians. 0 gang members. If you think they’re lying, then USA could prove it by showing the evidence used to verify the 11 were terrorists. They’ve offered 0 evidence. This was a criminal act. Murder.

JD Vance and Stephen Miller capitalizing on the shooting of Charlie Kirk to plan a crackdown on a wide range of their opponents is directly out of the textbook that Adolf Hitler used to consolidate power. We must not simply identify this as fascism—we must act accordingly while there is still time.

SOMETHING TANGIBLE YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW! I may bang this drum too often for it to have an effect - BUT... No Sweat fight sweatshop labour. We are doing a fundraiser to expand our operation. Please donate a few quid to help! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/no-sweat-f...

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

This is going to the printer LATER TODAY, unless I continue to agonise about the fact that I have used the word 'gestalt' in the book's Foreword. PRE-ORDER NOW! www.indiegogo.com/projects/3-1...

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today. https://www.them.us/story/london-trans-pride-march-turnout-record-uk-transphobia

Thanks to @londonist.com for the shout out. Cautiously optimistic for a good turnout and good weather for this year’s London Circle Walk.

WE ARE ON CHARLIE

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

Ahhhhhh....

Thrash madness in Oxford this Thursday!

Physio: have you got a band? Me: yeah it’s kind of early 80s thrash, but more sort of crusty… Cold War themed! We’re actually playing on Thursday. Physio:

It's my birthday and I've royally fucked up my drawing wrist, which has also scuppered an overnight trip. If anyone wants to buy one of my prints that'd cheer me up a bit, although I might have to sign it with my wrong hand.

Thrash madness in Oxford this Thursday!

My new documentary Fires and Fascism shows growing wildfires are more than just an effect of climate change. It shows they’re linked to big business, organised crime, and the far right. Read my piece about it here: felixonline.co.uk/articles/fir... Screening dates: fires-and-fascism.co.uk

100 Ed fringe podcasts (before we started just calling them RHLSTP) 150 Book Clubs and about 600 RHLSTP eps (including specials). If you haven't listened to the podcast before there's lots to catch up on. If you have, I bet you haven't heard all of them! shows.acast.com/rhlstp

This is why I’m optimistic about energy innovation: It took the global solar industry 68 years to reach 1 terawatt (TW) of installed power, from the first commercial silicon solar cell in 1954 to 2022. The next 1TW was delivered in only two additional years from 2023 to 2024.

The emergency alert will go off today at 3pm in the UK. If you need to have a hidden phone, here’s how to disable the alert.

No political party will protect us. We must build the capacity to defend ourselves through grassroots initiatives. Gather the people you trust and discuss what kinds of action you are prepared to take together. The fascists cannot win unless we remain passive. Get organized. 🏴 crimethinc.com/opsec

Please, PLEASE do NOT punch Graham Linehan in the face until his eyes look the same as each other. I can’t emphasise this enough. Do NOT do this. Not a joke. Do NOT do this.

Just two pounds a month can help an alternative comedian lay their hands on a really big apple…

Fuck yeah.

Troy Club tonight!
