Lil Boy failed his science test and is in bits. He wanted to change the world with his science skills & is recently doubting his ability to keep improving. So hard watching your children feel gut punches.

I joined Meryl’s Comedy Writing course to explore stand-up, as my material lacked structure and confidence. With her guidance, I found my voice and clarity. The skills boosted my public speaking too, adding humour to my talks.

fair point well made

Algorithms you are not ok

This sounds excessive- but tbf the worst day of Don's life was when he found out women could fake orgasms. Blonde women in New York even... imagine the next day for him, out on the streets, giddy, reeling - "is that blonde woman not into me? That one? Oh Gooood.... OH GOOOODDDD" Life changing

As a person who has been studying extreme far right ideologies for the last decade (and did a PhD on immigration) I find the entrance of “remigration” into the mainstream American political lexicon so profoundly disturbing

Details in text for those who cannot read screenshots... Hello my people. IIIITTT'SSSSS BAAACKK BAFTA winning writer Meryl O'Rourke's lauded "Comedy Writing Skills" course is returning, online, January 2026... Perfect #gift for anyone planning a comedy project in 2026.... #Standup #theatresky

My baby comes home today 😍 🤗 ☺️ 💕

I lied

Son having dramatic day at school. Dear lord but teenagers are damn nasty

This is a very good point- she's got a TV Series out and he's a very experienced TV narrative writer...

I made nothing. Up yours

i hate that stating facts are now 'gotcha' moments. People who say nonsensical things should not be entertained. so much of what is said out loud and written about in media outlets should really be unthinkable in rational mind

I did speak to Graham directly. I sat down with him with a coffee. We both talked peacefully without anger. He still calls me an "abuser" a "Stalinist" & mutters my name to his baffled mob who then sigh & nod like they've any clue who I am. It's not true that he's different if only they'd talk.

"When I was called confrontational I immediately called everyone who's ever said it to prove I'm not" is a really interesting take

Linehan also helpfully provides a list of non-arsehole comedians and actors when he names them on his enemies list. Ironic really that I keep thinking of Ted’s Golden Cleric acceptance speech.

They don't though Mart, that's the point.

Anyone here ever been able to get help from @support.bsky.team ?

Still not getting notifications. @support.bsky.team is as useful as a wooden kettle

Did this during lockdown via zoom, well worth it.

This should be a source of embarrassment for every @teamlabouruk.bsky.social MP. Are you really going to sacrifice the old and disabled just so you can appease Farage & RefUK on immigration @rushanaraalibgs.bsky.social?

I'm doing this btw. Will post more details when it's not 10.45pm. But also... read the graphic and if you want to join me, message me :)

If only my kids still believed I would use this to prove he does exist and this is rocket fuel. I was a bloody good Santa liar...literally got Boy until he was 13. And my son's a scientist. That's how good a liar I am

To be fair, his name is Alt Man... this is pure nominative determinism

stand-up comedian who has never heard of heckling so they get all sad and confused every time it happens

Louder for people in the back: the court rules trans women are not prevented from using women's spaces. Also your weekly reminder from a business school professor that trans status is still a protected category under the Equalities Act (2010).

My mum tried to get me an autism diagnosis in the 80s and they just stared at her. Now I'm finally about to get one, something me & my GP feel will address my anxiety better than HRT, Labour might Fk it up. AARRGGHHHHH

I'm doing this btw. Will post more details when it's not 10.45pm. But also... read the graphic and if you want to join me, message me :)

And I have ONE notification

Hi. I took some of my socials off my phone. Dunno, I love it on here but...it's not addicting me ya know? Which I guess is good. Anyway, I wasn't getting notifications so that too... How are you?

You can add exemptions to immigration rules for different groups, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. When you say that migrants are second class and "less than" others, as this government is doing, that feeds through to everyone. Migrants aren't a disposable resource to pick and choose from.

All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Oh. The baseline of She Bangs the Drums was everything. This sucks.

Trump calls for death by hanging for 6 Democratic vets who reminded troops to follow only lawful orders — as his approval nosedives, GOP infighting erupts over the Epstein Files, and new scandals engulf his DOJ. All this and more in today's bulletin.

I hope Nigel Farage is just about to switch off his phone for the night when he sees a post that annoys him and he can't quite google the fact which will put the other person in their place even though he keeps amending his search terms.

Tomorrow it will have been 47 years since I lost my dad. Ridiculous amount of time, but I still remember his voice, the smell of his hair and his bony thighs. Miss you daddy xx

Wut

BTW I am gigging in Hereford Friday, and Bristol Saturday. Some good blokey mates on the bills too. I shall get to be my true bloke self. #Hereford #ComedyNetwork #Bristol #ComedyBox @joeypagecomedy.bsky.social

Showing my son the Lambada video (it cropped up on a music quiz)- will let you know what he says...

Better put the boy to bed. Can't think of any reason to use the gif I made of 16 year old me, but here it is.

But do you remember Bowie’s short-lived stand up comedy career in the mid-70s?

Are they announcing Non Disclosure Agreements to military harp now?

I completely believe this is a good idea. These tech billionaires don't even let their kids go on social media! We need a new rule. If you won't let your kids use it, you can't become a billionaire from it www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I watch the EE iPhone advert and I always imagine going back to 90s Mr C and tell him he sells his song to the most corporate corporation of corporations and watch him crumple.
