"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975 “It is difficult to imagine a previous period when such an all-pervasive hopelessness was exhibited at all levels of British life” – Professor Stephen Haseler, 1975

Tonight is the final episode of #Taskmaster and also when the next series participants will be revealed. Who I already know because I went to a taping with @darklonelywater.bsky.social ...

USAians, if you don’t already know about Too Good To Go, you should check it out. It’s a free app that works with local restaurants & bakeries to help them sell (at steep discounts) unsold food at the end of the day—and helps you find cheap good food apps.apple.com/us/app/too-g...

Time to call the bluff. Democrats have to use every opportunity to publicly ask for a healthcare proposal to vote on, because it is abundantly clear there isn't one. So either renew the Obamacare subsidies or provide a genuine alternative. No more stalling, no shutdown excuse. What have you got?

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

If you had to narrow the horror subgenres down to the ten most important, what would they be?

We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

Back in 2015 Epstein & his associates predicted Trumps behaviour precisely. In his words. Because of the leverage they had.

BBC News Team:

HERE WE GO. These include emails disclosing that Trump knew Epstein was a pedophile and spent “hours” at Epstein’s residence with a victim. Today is going to be a disgusting day. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

Wait a minute, is this just Aussie scientists doing the 'drop bears' story on each other?

Mr D Trump, of Mar O Lago, Florida, writes to complain...

Idea for new Celebrity TV show: Let them slowly discover how much each of them are getting paid to do the show and watch them tear each other to shreds.

One has to feel for the BBC when criticism of them is split evenly between people complaining they have an obvious right-wing bias and others saying they have an obvious left-wing bias. And before anyone complains 'well one side of that is obviously wrong' - they both say that too.

GRIM TALES (1989): Rik Mayall is magnificenly unhinged (of course!) as the storyteller in this glorious children's show, performing the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales like a live action Looney Tune. Written by Anne Caulfield and Anthony (Dramarama, Robin of Sherwood, Crime Traveller) Horowitz.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

As a TV licence payer I would like to give the BBC my permission to say fuck off to Trump.

Give it to Ron and Russell till the end of the season.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Amazing. The Terry Joneses of the animal kingdom.
