It might be petty. But the point when I knew I couldn’t watch any more Starfleet Academy was when someone said ‘Hangry’

And invests no money in content or creators or any infrastructure of programme making, does no training, cannot support collaborative projects efficiently, and has an opaque payment system that mitigates against what the public would understand as “making television”.

Kemi, this is just a population density map

I forgot how much I love this clip. Everyone has a different theory what the second girl is saying. For me it’s either ‘Boris Johnson Dancing’ or ‘Come To London Dungeon’

Documenting an overheard conversation.

You love Bristol, right? What/where is good to see or visit in the city of 'Bristol'?

It's Boxing Day for going back to work.

“Mister Hamburger, I am your wife.”

I know you've all been desperately wondering what albums I listened to last year, so here they are in a nice grid, put together by @last.fm (all titles in the alt text)

Hi. Anyone got any tips for what I should do next year?

The chumminess of former politicians who are meant to have opposing views but really stand in the same queue for TV presenting jobs and reality shows before being asked to front fucking news shows and mags

Just having a look over the screenshot folder on my Mac. 🛹 Scully skateboard. 🚩 A mad advert for raising vibrations. 🐣 A very good screenshot from Doctor Who. 🤸‍♂️ An ad for fun stuff in my area.

“Waaa, I bought up loads of farm land to avoid paying tax and they closed the loophole”

I grew up in a farming village, next to a cattle market, had to walk through fields to get to school. Fox hunters are wankers and it’s fine to ignore them.

Such patronising guff - “all the rural people want is to lick off a little of the muddy fox blood from the master of the hunt’s riding boots before offering their youngest daughter to a Freemason dressed as a sex beagle”

COMMISSION SOME SITCOMS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Merry Christmas everyone, especially my #Playschool Babies. Be kind, considerate and compassionate as the festive season continues. Spread joy everywhere you go and remember the best gift you can give is unconditional love ❤️🎄❤️

For Christmas, I'm constructing my sister a special 2027 calendar from three calendars that I have taken apart and reassembled as ONE PERFECT UNIT. Octopus, Toilets and Tractors. Which I presume are three of her favourite things. If you know my sister, please don't ruin the surprise.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Like, I am beyond livid about this. It’s been an open secret in publishing forever - *everyone* knew about it. His publishers absolutely knew about this. It’s taken incredible bravery of the women affected to do this - it speaks volumes that it’s been allowed to carry on this long.

Saw this van outside your house.

The thing about the billionaires is, the richer these freaks get, the more socialism becomes a necessity. They should have just stayed quietly very wealthy.

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Why is this tiny gesture so funny

Hi, I went to see James Acaster at Fairfield Social Club and he was very funny.

Comedian Robin Ince quits as host of BBC’s Infinite Monkey Cage

You find spaghetti everywhere these days.

Most sports interviews on the radio remind me of asking a 10-year-old how school was. “It was good.” How did you feel when you won the prize? “Good. Yeah it was good.” Did you see your friends? “They were good. Yeah.”

It's happening!! In June 2026, Squid Bits: That's a Nice Hat will be coming out! This book is a collection of some of the Squid Bits comics I've been working on since 2014 for The Phoenix and it's so exciting to finally see it in book form! There're some vintage SB strips in there too!

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

Your weekly reminder that the Michelin Man has a name, and it's Bibendum.

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

Ah, I didn't realise @winderful.uk was on here, that's good, I missed the wind power updates.

Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t* New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

thinking of her today

Good post from today! @mkupperman.bsky.social

Cheap arse flags all over my town. What is a boy to do?

It would be harder to find a less sympathetic case, given that her parents paid £20,000 for their house which is now worth £1.2m. Why is somebody moaning about the very existence of inheritance tax a news story?

Anyone want to get in on this deal?

There's an easy way to fix this.
