There's a new image challenge over on @b3ta.com MAGA TV! Show us how TV would be if it was all made for (or starring) our beloved MAGA gang.

A moment of high drama in Doctor Who as the Master menaces a cherry bakewell

Couldn't get to sleep last night because my brain decided it was of huge importance to write lyrics to the theme tune from Fawlty Towers so here it is… (thanks brain)

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Our friend Mark is running the London Parks Half Marathon for SANDS in memory of his first son Olly who died at the age of 9 months in 2012. SANDS is a wonderful support to many bereaved parents. Anything you can give will be welcome. Thanks. www.justgiving.com/page/mark-th...

You join us live from Danny Dyer’s birthday drinks.

Starmer has the worst political instincts of any party leader in history. His entire strategy is trying to appease a bunch of people who already decided years ago they hated him. Meanwhile he's pissing off everybody who tolerated him.

Remember how quickly the Tories shut down all those investigations into dodgy off-shore tax havens. Good times.

If you want a case study on the impartiality of the press on the treatment of two self-made, outspoken, northern, working class women in the world of politics, I give you the cases of Dorries and Rayner.

Still doing Internet Art.

Why is no-one in any position of power IN OUR BLOODY COUNTRY calling Farage out like this?

I just think you can't claim that Glinner's explicit threats don't deserve police action mere weeks after mass arresting people for silently holding up signs protesting a genocide. It's got to be one or the other.

1. Incitement to violence is a serious offence, carrying a sentence of up to six months in prison. 2. What's it got to do with the health secretary? 3. I'm sure if I posted that Wes Streeting needed a good kicking, he would be very eager to send the cops round. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour's strategy since the election seems designed to appeal to right-conservative voters. This strategy hasn't worked on its own terms because they have lost the (very few) right-wing voters that they had, while also losing (much) larger numbers of left-wing voters.

The start of every 80s movie:

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

I made something for all you excitable #popmaster fans.

This really is a magnificent thing.

Lol. Youtube removed my zombie eastenders video for "revelling in or mocking the death or serious injury of an identifiable individual". I could tell them those are fictional characters and that the video was commissioned by the bbc, but their entire appeal process is "click this button to appeal"

RIP DeadEnders

Is it maybe time to promote @christhebarker.bsky.social's starter pack of WHIMSY again? I THINK IT IS

Africa’s longest-running board game convention, Nigeria's AB Con, is hoping to double its attendance this year after exceeding its goal in its latest, ongoing Kickstarter: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... The KS is still live if you're able to help @nibcard.bsky.social and the team with backing!

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.

This has been absolutely destroying me the last few days.

New series of MasterChef is pretty short

The UK did have one standout product that was considered globally valuable- universities- and unilaterally decided to stop providing the product because it was more important to be xenophobic than successful
