Comedian. Musician. Writer. Dad. Stepdad. Husband. Friend.
It is strange, is it not, to look upon a man who is not merely the richest in the world but the richest ever to have lived, a man who owns both his own sports car company and his own ROCKET SHIP company… and to feel for that man not a hint, not even the faintest glimmer of envy…?

Can’t. Walking the dinosaur.
Can’t. I walk the earth, my darling. This is my home.
Can't. Walking 500 miles (and 500 more).

UBI for artists is cool, but easy to sell as “you people think the world owes you a living”.

The irony is that the world *does* owe artists a living. Tech corporations just worked out how not to pay it.

3/4 of the way through this and Mitch Benn is delivering a tour de force. Safe to say he likes Blade Runner. A great listen!

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Will the credits on Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights be as honest as the credits on the Morecambe and Wise version?

Absolutely right, but it’ll never happen in the UK while our “elected representatives” live in fear of the tabloid press.
I mean Jesus, imagine the fucking field day the Mail and Express would have over this…
Said it before, and I’ll say it again, but for people like me, this would be transformative - it would stabilise our incomes, and allow us to plough more time into creative work and less into stuff anyone could be doing.

AND it’s a net economic benefit to the country.

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

Meanwhile, in Early Onset Dementia News, on THREE occasions in this podcast I say the word “radiator” when I mean “elevator”.

Bit of a controversial opinion, I know, but it kind of strikes me that “famous paedophile” shouldn’t be a thing it’s possible to be (not while alive, in any event)…?

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.
