Sean Trende’s piece on his son’s last day of school is full of joy and sadness and love and is well worth your time. www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/202...

In other news, turns out I can add AXE THROWING to the boundless list of Things I Completely Suck At. Genuinely crushed; thought I might have a gift for it. I mean look at me for Odin’s sake. I could feel the shame of my ancestors with every bounce. That’s me back on the Valhalla returns list 😞

Listening to @tonyblackburndj.bsky.social on Radio 2 on the way home; is there any man alive (with the possible exception of Bruce Springsteen) who so obviously loves doing his job so much?

It’s entirely possible that someone IS hacking Farage to expose his shifty deals and tarnish his image. But it ain’t the fucking Russians.

I can't be the only person who sees it as a huge warning flag if a British person uses the recently made-up word 'leftist', which comes from right-wing Americans who think not having to pay for an ambulance is dangerous Communism, so they equate 'left' with 'Marxist'.

well if we’re deporting people who are here legally, why not deport people who are racist on x: the everything app?

hey just curious but how is something that no-one under thirty will touch with a barge pole “inevitable”? feels like they can just wait for you and your stupid ideas to die tbh

HIVE MIND: anybody in the London area got a LEFT-HANDED electric guitar that they wouldn’t mind lending to me for a couple of weeks? Cheers M

Wondering if this is how it felt to be living in one of those countries whose democratically elected socialist government was in the process of being destabilised by the CIA so they could install compliant fascists…

Just completed work on something I’ve been trying to get done for five years; should be able to tell you more in the next week or so 😊

Okay, here’s a pointless bit of fun… It’s occurred to me that Superman would in fact need TWO Fortresses of Solitude. Why? Answers below please (and apologies if this has already been addressed in Superman Lore; given how vast and varying it is, there are gaps in my knowledge)…

In which the whole concept of “gender” is rendered obsolete in about four minutes flat

God, it really never gets old does it? He's just *brilliant*.

This idiot is accusing me of longing for the Corbyn days. Anyone want to tell him?

While it’s true that Reform will spend the next two years fucking up everything they touch, the Brexit experience tells me that their supporters will blame literally anything and anyone OTHER than Reform for this.

What Labour should be thinking right now: “Huh; maybe spending 16 months endorsing Farage’s policies while horrifying and alienating the base was a bad idea…” What Labour WILL be thinking right now: “Hmm. The racists still don’t like us. We’re obviously not being racist ENOUGH. BE MORE RACIST.”

Sorry but I can’t watch this without thinking about the bit in Mad Max 2 where the guy’s fingers come off

Come and see THE LEHRER EFFECT at the Brighton Fringe on May 13th (and whatever the Prof has on the go as well, I suppose) www.brightonfringe.org/events/mitch...

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

A little bit of bolognese in my life, A little bit of pesto on the side, A little puttanesca here I am, A little bit of this goes in the pan.

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY to those who celebrate… and if you DO celebrate, why not do so by downloading the MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU EP, seven SW-themed comedy songs… mitchbenn.bandcamp.com/album/may-th...

Hey @johnfinnemore.bsky.social; you didn’t have a hand in King Charles’s speech in Washington did you? Couple of zingers in there felt decidedly Finnemorian…

Or 30 more months, or 143 more weeks, or three more fake assassination attempts.

why is it that Donny gets a lifetime free pass to be the worst person in the world, but Democrats get constantly lectured to 'tone down' their 'divisive rhetoric'? the hypocrisy of our shithole media is maddening. thank you for your attention to today's very angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4tAuI4i

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.
