Tony Blair rising from the dead like Dracula in a Hammer Horror sequel and explaining how drinking the blood of the living is good actually.

Not not honey, I'm busy writing a letter to The Times about how Timmy the dog shouldn't be considered part of the group of child vigilantes and The Famous Four need to grow the fuck up and start dealing with reality.

I went to a museum like a good boy and now I'm hammered at 4pm and how did this happen and can speak to the manager please?

This list is: a) deranged, and b) a nice excuse to dust off my own, which isn’t much better but is a lot more honest about the quality of what it’s asking you to watch www.louchegastronomique.com/not-food/202...

Crossing the Streams can absolutely be a good thing, especially if Lego + Battletech. hansenbricks.com

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

This is the absolute best way to sink Burnham's chances. Is he secretly a political genius? (no)

Oh no. Looks like we've got a couple of talkers on this coach. Just a pair of real loquacious types.

3. It’s the 89th anniversary of some of the most splendid radio commentary ever delivered. You may have heard it before, but it is always joyful. “When I say lit up, I mean lit up by fairy lamps!”

My greatest shame as someone who grew up in Yorkshire is that I can't make a dumpling to save my life.

If you see this post your getaway vehicle.

I'd do a list of the best 100 books ever but I don't want you people reading them and getting ideas above your station.

Just realised I don't need Eurovision to drink heavily and listen to music I hate. I can make my own Eurovision and trash my YouTube recommendations for ever.

Joining the boycott so Eurovision for me tonight which is sad but does mean I'll be going to church tomorrow without a crippling hangover or a maddeningly awful eurodance anthem stuck in my head.

Rewatching 30 Rock and I think this is still possibly one of the best constructed jokes in anything, ever.

I'd never really looked closely at Wes Streeting before and he looks like he's just finished sloughing off the skin of the host body he was gestating inside.

Starmer's letter of support probed as 75 of the 100 MPs who signed appear to be named "go fuck yourself".

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

The older I get the more I love comics. I think it's because as I become more aware of my own mortality I appreciate the sheer denseness of the medium. You can get a novel into the space associated with a short story through the wonderful alchemy of words and pictures.

If Streeting becomes PM we in the queer community will need to come up with a new slur to call him so we don't have to refer to him as gay and thereby taint the rest of the gay community by association.

committing a little bit of heresy for daddy

Book online for convenience they said. 15 minutes involving setting up a new account, retrieving multiple different codes from both email and mobile and navigating a booking form I would describe as acutely hostile to the very idea of appointments. There is so much cognitive friction now.

Well, the left hate him because he's the figurehead of a multi-year effort to excise them from democratic representation, the right hate him because they think he's a Muslim communist and everyone else was pretty disengaged already and he ran on change then didn't change much. That about cover it?

The only time I want to see Wes Fucking Streeting in 10 Downing Street is of there's one of the ships from Independence Day hovering over it.

You know what's amazing? I genuinely don't know what Keir Starmer sounds like because I get all my news from text sources. I noticed it a while ago and since then it's been a fun game of deliberately avoiding ever listening to him speak. For all I know he sounds like Beaker from the Muppets.

Interesting. I think the difficulty for Streeting here, in purely political terms, is that he’s an obvious cunt

this thread is spot on

It's only funny if they did it by hand one word at a time.

Quite sad we don't have elections in my neck of the woods. I was so looking forward to never voting Labour again.

Just when you think Elon Musks has hit maximum possible cringe he finds a way to be more embarrassing. He’s a man I could imagine dressing as Santa to put his own presents under the tree.

Genuinely in bits at Marc Andreeson sternly telling his AI agent to stop making things up and acting like he's hacked the Matrix.

There's genuinely nothing I love more than being at an indie wrestling show. Win Wrestling put on a blinder this afternoon. Huge credit to everyone involved.

Where was all this fanfare yesterday when it was Space Precinct Day

Doing a day drinking today and, being in my late 40s, I have planned it like a military campaign. Been to the gym, good solid lunch with lots of vitamins and starch, well hydrated, takeaway options locked in for later. Maybe I won't die.

Gym full of middle aged dads and seeing a queue at the car wash on my walk home. It must be a bank holiday.

My dreams last night were unusually cloaca focused.

Speaking of the old gods, a friend of mine made this extremely silly game about Mr Blobby having an existential crisis and by playing it you can evoke his chaotic magicks www.patreon.com/posts/mr-blo...

I had this great idea for a business; a pop up bar that only serves alcoholic gravy. No food or snacks, just pints of lovely rich onion gravy at 8-10% ABV.

General: That barrage damaged it! It's hurt! *cheers from soldiers* *smoke clears* General: PULL OUT!!! PULL OUT!!!

New Trainspotting intro.

"Guys, I think this obsequious machine that always agrees with me is self-aware."

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

Managed to see Project Hail Mary last night and found it solidly entertaining but a little baggy. Ryan Gosling remains an incredibly pleasant man to spend screen time with though, he's hits what Chris Pratt aims for and regularly misses.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Anyone got a super cut of these interviews? They sound hilarious.

Recreating an episode of an unmade Gerry Anderson TV show is so precisely my kind of nonsense that I had no choice but to back this project. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim...

Thanks to @robinince.bsky.social for sharing his thoughts on our book Penda's Fen: Scene by Scene. The definitive account of the BBC's hauntingly strange Play for Today film, available now from tenacrebooks.co.uk

I think someone on this coach is watching videos of screaming children which is certainly a daring choice on public transport.

My brother shared this in the family whatsapp so coming to a work place near you the best email ever
