Oh my God this.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

We call it Autumn here. I expected better from The Times.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into “us” and “them” and calling on their supporters to harass “them”.
It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation for Kimmel’s remarks. This is a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation.

There are two modern St Trinians movies. The first one is certainly a heist and has Russell Brand’s Flash Harry being creepy around girls who are at school, but of age which is left weirdly vague.

@gralefrit.bsky.social podcasts Comfort Blanket, Rule of Three or his audiobook all are good listens on the nature of comedy.

🏳️‍⚧️ Derby Trans Pride

The rain didn't stop us! A good amount of people turned up to Derby Trans Pride regardless, spreading trans joy across Derby.

5,000 Twitter accounts, or some 5 people, came to counter protest, but we easily outnumbered them.

A little good news for a change.
First ever Derby Trans Pride took place today, I didn’t know until after the event, I hope it becomes a regular feature. The guys and dolls and those who don’t want to be labelled need positivity… Thank you Derby Trans Pride

Horrible Histories is closer in format to something like The Fast Show than a sitcom.

If I had to pick omissions from that list The Good Place and Detectorists are my comfort shows .

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Every headline talking about Kimmel being suspended for his “Kirk comments” is journalistic malpractice. He was suspended for comments about MAGA opportunists exploiting Kirk’s death, after the FCC chair issued a Mafioso threat.
