Read a headline: "Situation of stranded whale disimproves". It's a dramatic thing of course. But the phrasing made me imagine the whale stranding, saying "urgh, this day really couldn't get any worse!" and then a thunderstorm starts/a pod of bullies passes going "look, Genna's on land AGAIN!"...

My podcast returns for its 13th outing today, after a scheduled break. Actually, it 'dropped' late last night. People say 'dropped' these days. It's good, I think. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

My dad and brother are running the marathon in Rome as we speak. It starts at the Colosseum and ends at the Circus Maximus. And while I'd say it kinds of goes the absolute opposite of an efficient route between those two you've got to admit it has flair.

Meanwhile, follow @thebuzzsocial.bsky.social for unofficial - sometimes very unofficial - commentary and gossip on the ongoing Stevie Chase investigation. (You should already be following @larsum.com if you want to see good things.)

I've brought the entirety of this @murderbastard.bsky.social side project over here now. The Author™️ asked me for some interaction with the content. Jay, @ceri.io , @joyousechidna.bsky.social and I have provided/are providing this.

Great stuff. Turns out this patreon might be worth joining I guess.

Doing a very last minute work in progress tonight at The Bill Murray in Angel. www.angelcomedy.co.uk/event-detail...

Very decent new picture in the project. www.instagram.com/tapejournal?...

Huge discount if you've got a pending admin task for him to settle.

Oh no.

Funny is back. BE FUNNY OR DIE will rise again. E-book and audiobook available now… New paperback edition next year.

I'd like to pretend I'm fairly chill about throwing stuff at the audience, but once more I am betrayed by my manic expression.

Better view on the room.

Show tomorrow in that room.

Introducing the <Low Poly Rat Jam>! Team up or go it alone - submissions open 6 - 22 March. No ranks, no prizes, only a promise: I will play and review EVERY RAT GAME. itch.io/jam/low-poly... #ratjam #gamedev #lowpoly #lowpolyratday

This can only be excellent.

The rat is rather successful as far as my posts go. (The thread and quote reposts to the post this is replying to are delightful.)

I've set up a Patreon where you can subscribe to get all sorts of extras around my books, podcast, live shows. I was squeamish about doing this but, well, *I* support various artists this way, and I've been taken advantage of a lot in life, and I'm nice, so why not? www.patreon.com/MarkWatsonWo...

Hornets metaphor about murder. Finally @murderbastard.bsky.social is speaking my language. (Beekeeper for ever.) Also I have short wired my brain to think 'pianist' sounds like someone in a cult for me. So very good episode on a personal level. But also enjoyable in general I think:

I've listened to this now and I think you should too.

My debut solo piano album, ICHI, is out now on all major streaming platforms! Listen here: linkco.re/Mh7cSU2f Composed, performed, and produced by me Recorded at West London Music Studio Supported by @creativescots.bsky.social #NewMusic #musicsky

Warm enough to switch from the beanie 🎉

Sometimes it's content sometimes it's just..., sort of..., well..., words.

We've got this @murderbastard.bsky.social side project available outside of Discord finally.

Just gave my business website a much needed facelift! I'm still looking for a new client ... I can help with anything #Ruby / #Rails / #Hotwire / Web development. Get in touch if you'd like to work with me or have any leads!

Brilliant hat content has to be forwarded to @ceri.io and @ayushn21.bsky.social Also go see the shows if you can.

i have just finished putting together next week’s sound heap and if your problem with the show is that it was “too mainstream” then hoo boy are you in for a treat

This one has been hanging around for a while... Selling him, I reckon

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CRAIG! Eleanor & Pals, tonight at 11.15pm and then available on BBC Sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvaH...

Lol. Are you still locked out by the way @watsoncomedian.bsky.social ?

Two teams of approximately 300 players choose 30ish massive or extra massive of their number to infuriatingly slowly progress the ball towards the coloured end part of the field a yard at a time. Lots of bum taps and chest bumps. Pace your drinking.

are you a fucking loser nitwit with no job? become a Reddit moderator

Since the obvious purpose of Social Media is self-promoting what you've been working on, here's one thing that's stopped me spending all day on Bluesky... And to make sure it doesn't look like I'm trying to claim it's all my own work, I'm just part of the team at Barnstorm Games.

A while ago I got some people together I find brilliant and now they're being brilliant. Bit annoying really.

Met @harecomedy.bsky.social in flamboyance mode.

On very rare occasions getting people together on the internet CAN still lead to something silly, fun and good.

This is a stupid, pointless gesture. And for anyone else who wants to make it, the UK link is here amzn.eu/d/iNohRIA

Mark's losing money, I'm losing sleep. You could lose something on this project too! Join in!

the way to counteract this is to support independent art. i declare an interest: i’ve set up a store where you can buy new scripted comedy before it’s made. the works remain the property of the writers after production; any royalties are split evenly between cast, writer and producers. it’s here:

bleachers announce new music > I immediately pick up my guitar

Right, time to stop sitting on the sofa watching telly and actually get back to work. #Ruby folks, I'm looking for my next client. * I wrote 👉 railsandhotwirecodex.com * I built 👉 scattergun.email * I'm on the core team of bridgetownrb.com. * More info 👉 radioactivetoy.tech

It's back from the break. Which means I'm back to setting an alarm to 6:59am on Sunday mornings to make a discord post. But that is not your problem I guess. pod.fo/e/380089

It's good actually.

Today's Smelt post: hey, you liked Ghosts, right? And you like Cunk? Well, Ben Willbond (Ghosts) and Joel Morris (Cunk) want to make a sitcom together. We can't afford to make it without your help. So why not chuck us a tenner plus fees, so we can make it? www.leadmojo.co.uk/smelt
