In Mar 2020 I wrote ep 3 of Leverage: Redemption, in which Brianna mentions growing up w/ "the return of actual Nazis". It aired in July 2021, AFTER a Capitol rioter wore a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt, & reviewers on IMDb quoted the Nazi line & complained Leverage had gone woke.

And here we fucking are.

thanks, bye

Once a week I'll worry that nobody reads Dark Science anymore and that I never get new readers.

But then my gf helpfully points out that my brain is goofed in a specific way, where weekly I forget that my new Dark Science book sold a bazillion copies this year and also my Patreon pays all my bills

It's totally a horror film, her boss is literally the devil, it's right there in the title

This pack of bastards! Happy to accept expensive fashion industry gifts but bitch and moan that Andy no longer has any time for them, and then mess with her phone when they KNOW how demanding her evil boss is. And don't get me started on Nate!

Halfway through the week! Category today is: THE REAL VILLAIN OF THIS HORROR MOVIE. We all talk about how come the Jaws mayor got elected twice, and you know who got him in IT WAS THESE FUCKERS RIGHT HERE #30DaysOfFright

The sitcom I coproduced is being repeated on BBC Radio 4 at 11pm TONIGHT! CHOON IN!!!

It’s nice to watch that Tom Holland Umbrella video now, in the midst of all this bullshit the right is pulling about gender, and see him take the whole performance completely seriously. He never plays the gender stuff for laughs.

FWIW, Zendaya is also great in her piece and plays it the same way.

We need to bring back Memento Mori. Most of our problems keep boiling down to our wealthy elite massively failing to memento that they are mori.

I may be missing something, but... why not just pick up a pebble and use that?

Them: Google search results are so terrible now!

Me: Here’s half a dozen other ways to find stuff.

Them: But that’s not as good as Google!

But you just said..!?!

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Mandatory digital ID undermines our civil rights. It’s also divisive, expensive, and a distraction from the real issues: a cost of living crisis and soaring inequality.

So why is the government steamrolling ahead? Has it learnt nothing from winter fuel and disability benefit cuts?

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the leftwing organisation ANTIFA, which definitely exists, for real, ANTIFA's Treasurer stole my car once"

I can't believe you photobombed that cat's facetime call!

Pictured: a black man, apparently?

Graham Linehan is the Miles Davis of getting mad at things that aren't real, the greatest to ever do it.

The ADHD bundle ends in 11 hours!!

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

Even if I felt I'd be safe to visit the US (I do not), there's no way they'd allow me to.
