it's funny how farage has been basically given free reign to say "we're going to slash taxes and improve public services and kick out all the immigrants and you'll all be millionaires" for thirty years, but as soon as someone from the left comes along, Very Serious People want to know "how it works"

The easiest way to never get in arguments on social media is to assume the other person is 13. Does their bio say "45, husband, father, Christian"? No it doesn't, that boy is 13. Don't argue with a 13-year-old, you weirdo.

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...

Not keen on the pots that look like stretch marks #PotteryThrowdown

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

THANK YOU the fact she's here is crazy #TheLastLeg

Penny Mordaunt is so obviously hating being here #TheLastLeg

#IsItOK to ask why The Last Leg repeatedly platform Tories, like Penny Mordaunt and Sayeeda Warsi, in a way that simply launders their reputation, despite everything their party has done towards disabled people over the years?

I know there's a lot wrong with the BBC but it makes my soul sink at the thought of it not being there and things like Small Prophets only being on Netflix, which costs more than the license fee anyway.

I don't personally enjoy opera or ballet, but I would still fistfight Timothee Chalamet in an Applebee's parking lot to defend their value as an art form.

I can't stand him so this gives me one more good reason to dislike him.

LA Opera claps back

Their stance that £3,000 is 'bargain bucket' price is insane #TheApprentice

Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.

Making a call at work and this company's hold music is the Gallery Music from Vision On/Take Hart

Dressing up as a fucking massive cockroach for world book day and phoning in sick because I’m a cockroach to see if they get the reference

Wish they'd stop advertising on the news that the big fancy missile-loaded warship is parked up in Portsmouth. Like it feels like that's just asking for trouble

Odysseus, reading the envelope: "Go home. You have ten years. Your time starts now." Why would I need ten years? What aren't you telling me? Alex Horne, with an evil glint in his eye: All the information is on the task.

Greg Davies: Team task, escape from a high tower using any objects in the house: simple. Icarus: Wait, ANY objects in the house? Daedalus [head in his hands]: ...not just the bag in the lab? Alex Horne: Not just the feathers & candles no, any objects. Let's see how the boys did first.

Greg Davies: This feels fairly straightforward Alex Horne: Yes, the task is to retreive the golden idol from the Peruvian temple but crucially without setting off any of the booby traps. Greg: Let's see Indiana first.

Greg: so we've seen four attempts to untangle the Gordion Knot, and they've all been shit. Who's next Alex? Alex: well finally Greg, armed with his massive sword as usual, it's Alexander the Great [Alexander smugly turns to watch the VT]

I'll always be obsessed with this edit made by @tommchenry.bsky.social

what is it with Trump and windmills, did he read don quixote and not quite get it

If you know your Douglas Adams, this makes perfect sense.

Rereading Animal Farm (for no particular reason can't imagine why) and Boxer's death is still heartbreaking

Some of them are asking for their billion dollars back

Regional art collections are our history and identity. Once it’s sold off, it’s gone for good. Works belong to the communities that shaped them and have a connection to a place that's irreplaceable. Cultural heritage is so much more than monetary value and needs protecting.

“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

Might treat myself to a couple of whiskies and a triple fried egg sandwich with chilli sauce and chutney.

Its really weird the NHS advert for childhood vaccines shows them wrapping kids in cotton wool and bubblewrap. Because isn't that always used to mean being unnecessarily overprotective?

"Not a multicultural country" is probably the most nasty and incorrect things I've seen in AWHILE

Looking forward to when looking young for my age is simply a benefit, instead of right now where people stare at me like I've committed some kind of crime

Rob Grant's Red Dwarf livestreams were a highlight of the pandemic, absolutely gutted RIP

I take it back SAYING to the client 'we can't promise perfection' is the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard on this show #TheApprentice

Foliáge #TheApprentice

That 'don't promise perfection' thing might be the smartest thing said ever on this show #TheApprentice

On the one hand YouTube is a giant radicalisation machine that is pushing existing global political structures to breaking point. On the other, there’s ALWAYS a video by a retired handymen showing how to fix the door slide on your specific brand of kitchen drawer. So I’m calling it a score draw.

This D'Angelo video also, everyone's flattening of the whole thing is horrible. Two things can be true at once!!! There is no winner or loser! BAFTA and the BBC suck youtu.be/q_fjfJREGIg?...

Watched Passport To Pimlico - It was fun, and honestly would probably make a great play/musical. But it did go on a bit long and the ending was a bit confusing, but the central conceit is such a fun premise

Groucho Chico Harpo Zeppo

I don't know why I have this photo on my phone but I'm glad I do

here's my hot take on the BAFTA stuff. basically I think [sprints out of room, down the stairs, jumps out of window, hails taxi to the airport where I buy a one way ticket to the South Pole, never to be seen again]

In the continued saga of 'Molly watches things way after they've been popular' - finally watched Kpop Demon Hunters, and it was very good Although all I could think was its like Elsa was one of the Totally Spies

The main thing is that it's entirely divorced from income or work or anything material, and exists solely as a set of ever-changing and frequently outdated signifiers used to dismiss the opinions of others, or more frequently their value as humans altogether.
