It's mulling season. I'm only drinking Mulled liquids. Mulled wine, mulled cider. I'll mull a Lilt. I don't care.

Many are against solar fields because of the look. There's no natural beauty. Our countryside only looks the way it does because of farming. It's already unnatural. Before that, it was largely woodland. Let's have solar farms, but put some trees around. Then they'd look like woods.

They’re really pushing this narrative about the new CEO. If you want to believe women at HC have suddenly done the right thing, sure. But - Walliams’ editor/publisher was a woman, new head of kids dept & head of Corp Comms both women and new CEO all knew about this for 10+ years and did nothing.

6 years post Parky, two years post MI. I've worked aĺl year, Radio 4 series, full Edinburgh run, maintained my quiz levels and recorded some of the fastest Chases of my career. We're all gonna die of something. Taking your meds gives you more chance of enjoying the ride.

well well well if it isn’t the blowjob brothers

We've done some boxing by mistake

*Nods* My granny said a quick prayer to St. bobbolas every time someone sneezed. Or if she had a fiver on the 3pm race out of Cairo.

Art.

From the shadows, I watch a mother visit Santa with her precocious young daughter. Their love is so pure. But there is a corporate lawyer from the big city that doesn't believe in the spirit of the Holidays. She will come to close the Christmas tree farm next year. The gun feels heavy in my hand.

I have a confession, I wander the picturesque small towns of America, killing young married women. You may think me monstrous but it must be done so there is a bountiful harvest of sexy widowers for busy corporate women to fall in love with in Hallmark movies next year. I am a cruel necessity.

David Walliams is such a prick that he will be visited by the Ghostwriter of Christmas Past, Ghostwriter of Christmas Present and the Ghostwriter of Christmas Yet To Come

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

I believe in Newgrange supremacy. 5 millennia, zero bullshit. Older than Stonehenge and has a roof, get fucked. Solstice icon, no choice but to stan, etc. etc. etc.

re todays main topic of discussion: you can focus on the ugly things in the world (jake paul's face as his jaw shatters) or the beautiful things (fascinating back musculature of the guy punching him)

may every trans child grow into a trans adult

this is kind of like how Henry Kissinger dated a bunch of actresses and models in the 70s

We talk a lot about the magic of Christmas when you're a child and the magic of Christmas as a parent but I think there aren't enough movies and songs about the magic of Christmas when you're 26 and actively sweating Guinness while opening presents because you spent the 24th in the pub.

I love "no cheeses for us meeces" as much as the next person but I think the hardest line in the Scrooge song is "It paints you with indifference like a lady paints with rouge" from this hero.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

any time now

I'm not well so I'm watching Fleetwood Mac performances and, if it's been a while since you watched the Silver Springs video where Stevie Nicks flays Lindsey Buckingham alive with just her voice and her eyes while Mick Fleetwood is having the *time of his life*, you should watch it again.

Ouch. Difficult to say "Our previous CEO was protecting a sexual predator" more explicitly than this. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I want to start a line of luxury holding lanterns. For weird men who must venture out into the night

"Christmas is best when there are young children in the house." False. Christmas is best when everyone in the family is old enough to drink and you get to learn which of your cherished childhood presents almost ended your parents' marriage.

My plans for Christmas? I want to push my body to the very brink of Gout and then at the last minute pull myself back

this photo of our fun festive FT podcast Xmas quiz makes me laugh every time I see it

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

Roy Keane's reaction to the idea of Prince William guesting on Stick to Football is peak Keane.

I'm enjoying that Heated Rivalry show although slightly anxious about the effect it's having on some of the women in my life. Glanced at my phone at one point during the most recent episode and my wife slapped it out of my hand like I was an 8 year old trying to play Nintendo Switch at a funeral.

One of the wonderful things about the original thread was other people telling me stories about their dads at Christmas. The next best thing was the literal thousands of comments about how good the Creative Zen was. Creative briefly trended in 2020 which must have been very confusing for them

I am sure if we put the best engineering minds together we can solve this. We shall call it the "Manhattan project "

Nice argument, unfortunately for you, I've already depicted you as the mewling, impotently terrified Jake Paul and myself as the sexy, powerful Anthony Joshua.

It is time for us all to sit down with a winter milk coffee and read the greatest Christmas story that was ever told about Christmas… bsky.app/profile/rich...

“This aged well”

David Walliams dropped by publisher over alleged inappropriate behaviour

love starting a carol with "god rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay", it's the equivalent of starting a phone call with "okay so it's all fine, DON'T freak out"

Every time I'm in a restaurant I remember Kevin McAleer's reply to a waiter who told him the Soup Of The Day. "Where there any other contenders?" "Um, no?" "A hollow victory, then".

New Christmassy @privateeyenews.bsky.social out. Here is another toon of mine from previous issue. probably the most nichest cartoon I have ever done... #Kafka #cartoon

One of my favorite things is hearing about when famous people work with The Muppets/Sesame Street and how they go from talking to the puppeteer/voice actor between takes to just full on talking directly to Ms. Piggy or Cookie Monster even when the camera isn't rolling.

PEOPLE WHO MAKE SIMPSONS MEMES DO THEM BESPOKE AND HAND-CRAFTED AND ITS ONE OF THE INTERNET’S PROUDEST TRADITIONS

Wield this power over cashiers very carefully

"Weirdo makes robot who ends up hating him" is one of my favourite sci fi tropes.

Don’t never let these old folk try to moralize to you fam y’all have no idea how chaotically horny y’all’s parents were at 9pm on Mondays
