Poured my partner's strawberry milk into my cup of tea again. Won't anyone think about those with colour vision problems?

Nicely phrased. You can have a screen grab on the less prestigious *me* account as a consolation prize.

My editorial rule for b3ta, fesshole, anon, and pretty much anything I've ever had a hand in is "funny or interesting". Obviously not everyone agrees with my definitions but basically I'll go anywhere, if I think it's funny or interesting. Bring on the 3D underground maps.
Wasn't expecting @anonopin.bsky.social to take an infrastructural turn.
It's a real shame that no-one publishes a 3D map of our cities that shows the underground as well as the surface. Seeing the tunnels used by pedestrians, trains, roads, clean water, sewage, gas and electricity would be great. Hidden infrastructure that needs to be seen.

I'm not going to die on any hills but it microwaves my urine that the phrase "bad apple" has flipped meaning in my lifetime.

You know Anthology 4 is quite good? I mean, stop looking it like a stamp collector going "I've got half of this already" and listen to it as a performance. It goes on a journey and it's a lovely time-travelling slightly ramshackle gig that the Beatles never played, and are playing for you now.

I actually got an anon note the other day telling me to stop wasting my time making jam and make a third Fesshole book. Well sod you mate, I’m now making apple wine.

14 year old son just did an insult at me that made me laugh out loud: “old man, show us your landline”

Ordered the pizza with no tomato on it again like an idiot. They should be on a different bit of the menu with guard rails on it.

Going to see Cast do a gig tonight which isn’t technically anything to do with The Stone Roses but I suspect it will have the highest concentration of middle aged men a bit sad about Mani in one place tonight.

The best thing about having some gigs booked in Sweden is that when I see my friends they're going "how fuck has that happened?" and they're both flabbergasted and slightly "you jammy cunt."

I'm not going to libel anyone specifically, but the idea Gill is alone British politics in knowingly collaborating with the Russians is, let's say, unlikely. Be nice if the non-rotten bits of the British Establishment are brave enough to root out a few more.

I waited for my moment and it was ME who pushed it over the line into being published. Fuck yeah.

Nah this is bullshit. Try going to an acting class, I'm shit at it, but there's others who can conjure up whole other people from movement and expression. It's not just the words on the page.

These people walk among us. Nude fish fingers genuine shocked the room.
Seasonal strugglebus lifted at last night's @anonopin.bsky.social gig. A right laugh. Biggest opprobrium of the night for a man who thought the right way to eat fish fingers was to peel them first.

I am high after enjoying doing that show. Together we made a unique bit of theatre that couldn’t exist in any other circumstances except in that moment. Just loved being a part of it.
This was enormous fun - giving people a mic and letting their opinions live or die on audience opinion is dangerous stuff, but it worked beautifully
Off to do the second @anonopin.bsky.social show - with modifications from the first to last night. I’ve been making signs for the audience to hold up to judge things. Come down if you fancy it it’s in Aces and Eights in Tufnell Park. Doors at 7:00, show at 7:30.
