Glorious stuff.

Robert Jenrick has a fit every time he reaches a zebra crossing.

“Oh no, the corn! Paul Newman’s gonna have my legs broke…”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Today I can’t decide which story to be more moved by, man buys his disabled Mum a field so she can rescue Donkeys or penniless waitress with a recently bankrupt business finds £800,000 down the back of a sofa to buy her boyfriend a house.

In Sue Townsend’s hands, comedy doesn’t soften despair; it sharpens it. Her creation, 'Adrian Mole', is a most perfectly flawed portrait of loneliness and failure. READ: tinyurl.com/MoleAnguish

The way the US is going, by the end of this term I wouldn’t be surprised if the medical advice under RFK Jr really *was* to drink eight glasses of gravy a day.

I’m a little obsessed with Peter O’Toole’s “can’t really be arsed, too pissed” performance in Supergirl.

What’s the story behind those dodgy gift shops on Princes Street in Edinburgh? Jim Waterson of @londoncentric.media investigates in bonus edition of the Minute: edinburghminute.substack.com/p/tax-evadin...

Dead Men Tell Tales. An anthology graphic novel, scripted by me and drawn by 11 incredible artists, telling stories inspired by contemporary British horror cinema of the early seventies, especially the Amicus portmanteau movies. £15 plus postage. We're £3 away from £800, with two weeks to go.

This is an absolute gem - yet another reason to watch @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

During Wicked, when “Part One” came up and a voice loudly exclaimed in the silent cinema “OH FUCK RIGHT OFF”.

The cheating bastard (as if we all didn’t know already).

Can’t wait to see how the SG try to justify not going with this one…

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."

Ooooh, lordy… 😬

Hello, police? I’d like to report a murder…

Ahh, that’s better - catted up again. Been too quiet around here!

The Lionel Blair / Town Like Alice moment from I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue - partly from shock that it actually went out, partly because of Humph’s deadpan delivery, partly because it’s just so damned funny. Listen at 12:02 here: youtu.be/1wTR03jlQ8M

If you’re unsure whether you need to use the loo before heading out, err on the side of caution and use it. (One for over 40) Never trust a fart.

Katy Perry wasn’t the first pop star in space. That was Lady Gagarin

Marmite peanut butter.

Oh just fuck. Right. Off.

A very good read, this - mountains out of molehills, and a terrible look for the government.

Watching Last Crusade and wondering why the first grail trial is a cheat with that second blade - the penitent man is humble and kneels before God, he isn’t meant to duck and roll to avoid a judgement of Solomon situation.

👀 the words behind her.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Nice and peaceful here, isn’t it?
