I'm launching my Laurel and Hardy Centenary show at the BFI on Sunday in advance of the jaw-dropping 51-date tour that traverses the UK from February to March - details of that are at www.laurelandhardypresentedbyneilbrand.co.uk and tickets for the BFI at whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defau...

If I ran a cafe and all my customers sat around all day drawing sexualised images of children that I then displayed in the window, I'd be closed down and prosecuted. Why is X different?

Re-upping this after the Christmas/New Year break. At least one Australian journalist has not ignored my research about the harm being caused by the puberty-blocker ban. UK "journalists" do not report this because it doesn't fit with establishment transphobic narratives. 1/2

Trying to decide which of my No Blood For Oil signs to bring out. The one from Bush 41? Bush 43? The other one from Bush 43? These chucklefucks are all the same: they can't govern, and when the stupid people who voted for them start to notice their failure, here comes the lawless invasion.

T’was the night before return to work, And all through the dwelling, Not much was happening, Bar resentment a-swelling. That wasn't long enough, That was never two weeks? Now I've got to be grown up, On Teams with those freaks?

Yday I was listening to the brilliant Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, from 1978. Douglas Adams saw it all: the awful fake chattiness & uselessness of ChatGPT, Alexa etc & how over-confident the algorithm designers are. “Genuine People Personalities” was a joke, but it should have been a warning.

Despite reposting the call to arms below, I didn’t act on it until a few minutes ago. Why? Because it felt too hard and overwhelming. It was SO EASY. Add your name to the letter now. If you choose not to write anything individual it will take less than a minute ❤️ tacc.org.uk/Biological-S...

ALT text _ my dad has been speaking to a royalist in his street and when my dad said we should get rid of the monarchy this bloke said "who would you have in charge instead... a load of transgenders?" and im obsessed with the idea that you can either have a king or a council of trans people

If banning conversion therapy for all people would make your religion 'illegal' then your religion deserves to be illegal.

I found this very clear graphic regarding #Coeliac Disease on Instagram. All the issues shown on the iceberg I experienced last year. If you have any symptoms that relate to this, get your GP to do a TTG blood test to test for the #celiac antibody. www.instagram.com/p/DTBg7HOjQO...

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.
