Have a smoking Christmas everyone!

Scaring the birds! (Or not...)

Got to dress for the occasion

Negroni time!

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Gutted that I couldn't make The Chap Grand Flaneur Winter Walk on Sunday. (Thanks, achilles tendinitis.) I was all ready to go in homage to Lord Fairhaven... thechap.co.uk/am-i-chap-oc...

Post a movie where you're from

If you're looking for a Sunday morning read, our website team spent a lot of time writing code to make the animations on this article work, so give it a look, will ya? www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-...

Live near Winchester? Then do come along to my talk on the Real Great Escape at The Rifleman's Museum at 1745 on Thursday 11 December! shop.rgjmuseum.co.uk/evening-talk...

You do know you can wear something else?

Finally got round to doing this. Only takes two minutes to opt in. They probably won't want my liver. Or my trousers. www.organdonation.nhs.uk

Today’s article is up, and it’s a look at some French satire/humour from the First World War achurchill.substack.com/p/photo-arti...

It’s 55 years to the month since they blew up that whale. Seeing as we are doomed to repeat our mistakes, and that it is scientifically proven we are in the stupidest timeline, I say we do it again.

This looks like it should be accompanying a feature in early 90s NME.

Holborn strolling.

Is 'In Our Time' quite the much-loved and venerated broadcasting institution that the BBC makes it out to be?

Lots of ways to be a man! Problems can lie in fitting into societal expectations of 'manliness', and men can be crap at dealing with that. I've never wanted to hurt myself, but many do, and a British man kills himself every two hours. It's why I support www.mensmindsmatter.org #InternationalMensDay

Thank you!

To celebrate International Men’s Day, I will be making a sincere and heartfelt work of art about the impossibility of sane work-life balance in patriarchal capitalism, and it will be a cross between The Sopranos and The Incredibles, and therefore exactly the same as both.

When I arrive at the party

Delighted my tour of the Great Escape and Colditz is running in April '26. Do come! We go to Berlin, Silesia, Görlitz, Dresden, Sachsenhausen, and we stay in some great places, visit some amazing sights, learn a lot, walk a lot, eat a lot, and drink a lot. telegraph.tripsmiths.com/tours/guy-wa...

Man about town

Dodgy part of town.

Looks like it’s time to break out Old Reliable again.

The seminal book on this, if anyone is interested, is The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. I await the programme with interest.

Only having an MA, rather than a PhD in trauma-theology, my take is this. It's long been established there are direct links between the condition of a person's body & their psychological state. Add in the amount of drugs the Fūrher took, & well, it's a recipe for psychosis on an unprecedented scale

Hats off to the Independent's video team for the perfect screenshot from my interview...

How Hitler's genitals shaped his personality - and quite possibly helped lead the world to war... My piece and video for the Independent: www.independent.co.uk/news/people/...

Have you tried this?

Series one of Blackadder vibe, there, tbh...

My thoughts precisely! Percy used to wear the sugarloaf hats.

Fine, I will write the next James Bond. INT: SEX CASINO, NIGHT BOND: Hello I am Bond James Bond my car goes NYOOM CUT TO: ten minutes of a chase in a sports car BOND: Also my watch is a special watch that makes ladies blouses see through EXPLOSION BOND: This film is for grown ups

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Negroni time here in Warsaw...
