GO TO SLEEP, SHEEPLE!

Strange that senior figures at the BBC who edited out the 'peacefully and patriotically' bit of Trump's speech lose their jobs, while the 1,500+ rioters on January 6th who also clearly omitted that bit of Trump's speech get pardoned.

Every bit as good as everyone says it is.

Quite a headline.

@lizbaz.bsky.social Hey, Liz! Weird question: did you once own a copy of Plays by Henry Arthur Jones? The CUP version edited by Russell Jackson? Because I've just bought a second-hand copy and markings inside suggest it might have been yours...

We just watched this. Predictable, forgettable, worthless. I promise: your life will be improved by not watching it.

Responses to Billie Eilish’s challenge to the billionaires are a reminder that if you’re wealthy you can’t criticise billionaires because you’re a hypocrite and if you’re poor you can’t criticise billionaires because then you’re envious. So, magically, no one is allowed to criticise billionaires.

Remember the Republican Party clutching its pearls about confederate statues being torn down because it was 'erasing history'? And now this gaudy prick demolishes the East Wing of the White House without a word of protest.

Are we actually supposed to be scandalised by this? Is that the idea? These migrants, coming over here, spending their last days among their only living relatives because they're completely alone

The bold font seems to me vaguely threatening.

For a second I thought this headline meant that Status Quo, U2 and Queen were going to be delivering food parcels to Gaza.

Hey USA, you know how you’ve spent nearly 250 years boasting to the rest of the world about your amazing experiment in democracy? Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Because I know you were wondering, the 2 rhythms I tap out with a wooden spoon on the rim of a saucepan to get any sauce off it into the pan are (a) the 6-beat figure that ends the Henry the Horse waltz in Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite or (b) the drum pattern that opens Rainy Day Women #12 & 35

Happy birthday to my lovely Dad. First one without him. xxx

Jimmy Kimmel's comeback monologue is very well judged, passionate and smart and with some punchy gags.

Just remembered that last night I dreamed I had decided to rework my adaptation of Our Mutual Friend to incorporate a series of spectacular shark attacks.

The prosecutors in the Charlie Kirk case are pushing for the death penalty. I know it’s not the main issue but I can’t help think of the shooter’s parents who were the ones who identified their son and brought him in. How will they feel if he’s then killed by the state?
