Joshua can't half sing so when he and Ruth get going on an improv song, with Yshani on the old joanna, it'll blow your socks off.

Not a multiplex.

Clement Freud. We used to listen to old Just a Minute and our favourite quips entered our everyday vocabulary. He destroyed those little girIs' childhood, and just to add insult to injury, he ruined something I loved. I will kick his ass in hell.

Cliff and the Shadows.

John Yogi Baird, smarter than the average Baird.

BBC describing Rehan Ahmed as a 'pinch-opener'. Is this because they've realised 'pinch-hitter' sounds like someone who's eaten pins?

Don's suspicion of windmills is very Quixotic.

The initial letter of support from the US on the founding of the WHO pointed out that infectious diseases know no borders. I wonder what has changed.

The range of acceptable Somerset bowlers in the England set-up is known as the Overton Twindow.

See you later!

Just had the “try our updated app” email from Trainline. If it wasn’t so depressing it’d be hilarious. What’s the ONE thing you want with travel information…?

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org religiondispatches.org/elon-musk-ju...

President Trump withdrew the U.S. on Wednesday from dozens of international organizations intended to foster multinational cooperation, cutting ties with a wide range of prominent forums addressing international security, law, trade, economics and human rights.

Spooner's career as a continuity announcer was short-lived

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

This is fascinating and very funny. The perfect introduction to N F Simpson. Highly recommended.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of the TARDIS.

Yes, it's the wonderful @rufushound.bsky.social guesting in the Comedy Store Players improv show this Sunday. Plus Kirsty Newton on keys. See you there!

The main fact that stuck with me after writing a book about British Xmases is that The Times was complaining about decorations going up in October back in the *1930s*, Selfridges has had decorations up in Oct since at least the 1950s and the whole “earlier every year” thing is generally bollocks

Absolutely sensational if this is the Pagliacci origin story

Just saw My Neighbour Totoro stage show in London, and it’s absolutely astonishing — magical, spectacular, funny, devastatingly emotional, and wonderfully innovative. If you love the film, or just love live theatre, it’s a must watch

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

"The new instructions also deem countries that subsidise abortion or facilitate mass migration as infringing on human rights." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So many well-educated people I know are unaware of this about chiropractors and I’m always too embarrassed / polite / English to mention it. Like when I bite my tongue when people talk about “alternative” medicine for serious, terminal illness

To paraphrase: they know they shouldn’t have included AI answers at the top of search and that it is rapidly devaluing the whole brand, and that other AI tools are better at that job too, but they can’t just remove it because it would be an admission of failure? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

GOP will eat itself.

The marvellous Greg Proops has just released a new album of improvised stand-up comedy: "Free State Of California." Highly recommended. lnk.to/freestateofcalifornia

interview about the dangers of AI with AI's "Godfather" Geoffrey Hinton, who won the Turing and Nobel Prizes for his work on it. The first bit with Carlos Frenk is very good too. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Beebgate demonstrates two truths: 1 Right wing media hold everyone else to exacting standards of ethics and probity while holding themselves to none whatsoever. 2. You can’t curry favour with the right wing if you’re an entity they want to destroy.
