RIP James Van Der Beek, whose greatest role was, of course, himself. Not for him the cheeky cameo: on Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23" the man turned self-ridicule into a full-time occupation, and did so magnificently.

Pic of Epstein just appeared on the telly and the dog barked at it. Making me look at the Amazon delivery guy in a whole new light.

Excellent beginner’s guide to Emily Bronte and Wuthering Heights. Stops you making the usual presumptions. www.anothermag.com/art-photogra...

I never noticed this either.

Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!

To understand how much Alex Massie actually cares about women's safety: when I called out his transphobe-in-arms Nick Cohen for multiple acts of sexual misconduct against cis women, which eventually got him sacked, Massie went berserk at me. Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.

I don't know about you but I cannot express to you how massively it fucks me off when a song thrush turns up in my living room out of nowhere, with all its bluster and assumptions, then tries to claim a piece of abstract art as its own.

Word to the wise, the new iOS update for iPad has just completely wiped mine. It wouldn’t verify on the device so I tried to do it via iTunes and everything’s fucked now 👍

Having reviewed my stocks, I’ve determined that I have fifteen copies of the Good Omens graphical novel, wonderfully illustrated by @colleendoran.bsky.social, to spare. In the interests of trying to be as fair as possible, if you would like to enter the ‘I-gave-it-away’ please read on…

Yourself but as a cartoon

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

I've emailed Ofcom to ask them to take TalkTV's climate misinformation seriously. We only have 14 days to act!

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

Manifesting Bob Mortimer being a guest on The Harry Hill Show, we as a society need (if not deserve) this.

Television began on this day in 1926. Shortly after that, Doctor Who fans started a campaign to get rid of the current producer.

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Tiny Niece told an amazing joke earlier. Her: WHAT DO YOU CALL A DEER WITH NO EYES? Me: ? Her: I DON'T KNOW!

There are books that I own in hardback as well as a copy for my tablet & the audiobook. It just depends how I want to receive the story in the moment. All versions are acceptable, stop letting people say audiobooks aren’t reading.

Jings but it's been a poor month for print sales so far. Almost as if you'd rather spend what little money you have on food and keeping warm. But if you're thinking of buying some art can I just point out my pictures are edible* *they are not edible. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

I hate that they rebranded tangerines as “easy peelers” because “easy peelers” sound like the sort of thing the Artful Dodger would say whilst being arrested

Can I just make the most basic 15 year-old who's just Googled Marx statement that still shakes me to the core? Billionaires fight tooth and claw to not pay taxes. Taxes that they wouldn't even notice. The average worker is crippled by them. We are told the problem is lazy workers...

Low expectations might seem safe, but they limit joy.

Discworld: come for the delightful characters, the trenchant social commentary, the militant decency, and the really stupid jokes

This might well become a thread. I am calling it 'Bloody Hell, Aren't Doors On Old Walls Fucking Brilliant?'

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

Whoever came up with the name “Ewok Powell” to describe Tommy Robinson should take the rest of the year off.

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

My brain keeps parsing ‘Scott Adams’ as ‘Adam Scott’ today and this much stomach lurching can’t be healthy

I just hunted down my favourite Robertson Davies quote, so here it is, for no reason other than it delights me (and makes me feel Seen)

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

Fiction and fantasy aren't "fake" any more than light seen through a prism is fake. It's just seen from a different perspective. Light seen through a prism is still light. Truth seen through a story is still the truth.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Scully let's split up. I'll interview this beautiful botanist and you go check out the sewer system full of human bones
