Safety inspector: I found two major issues with your Death Star. For one thing, there are no railings.

Grand Moff Tarkin: We believe railings would detract from the austerity of our bottomless chasms.

Safety inspector: That brings us to my second issue.

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

If I were Lula, then I would celebrate Bolsonaro actually being imprisoned for trying to coup me by ordering Netflix Brazil to make a second series of Nobody's Looking.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Life is pretty grim these days, but we have one thing going for us. At least the boys have finally left town. That was- ... Oh, here comes Phil Lynott! Hey, Phil, good to see you. Any news?

If any comedy industry blog/podcast people want some quotes about the triumphant return of Children's Comedy to Radio 4, or a new sketch comedy series going out over Christmas, I'm right here (actually I'm going swimming in a bit but besides that I'm right here)
Let's GOOOOO!

Factual sketch comedy, for families! Made by the team behind YDTM plus great comedy sketch writers & performers!
Out this Christmas on R4 (3eps) & Sounds (15eps)
It's Ya Gal's 1st production credit!
You're in for a good time, comedy fans!

Brilliant to see Sally & a bunch of other names in indie games in this year's Bafta Breakthroughs!
I'm a BAFTA Breakthrough 2025!

I'm honoured to be amongst such an incredible cohort, and for BAFTA to recognise my work on Old Skies!

As a disabled, female, performer-writer in games, I am so proud to show what we can do, and with BAFTA's support the sky's the limit!

I was so, so, SO delighted to be able to get my wishlist of ideal writers room AND acting teams! (right down to Richard being up for the acting gig but busy for two of the days meaning I didn't have to go with Richard OR JLR but managed both Richard AND JLR)
What a fab team of people involved, so you know it's going to be great! Congratulations!

The writers rooms for this were honestly some of the best fun I've had at work in some time. ALL DONE REMOTELY SO WE COULD MAKE THE MOST OF THE SKILLS OF NON-LONDON PPL AND PARENTS, HINT HINT, COMEDY PRODUCERS
The writer's room for this show should have been filmed. I poured hard liquor out for the jokes we had to cut for time 😭😭😭

Please enjoy Dead Funny History as much as we enjoyed writing it
HERE! WE! FUCKING! GO! I have been making this show for TWO YEARS, it's finally going out this Christmas, Baby's First Production Credit is gonna be on R4 over the Radio Times Double Issue Window, baybeh! www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

Government could start by not going out of its way to screw the entire knowledge work sector. Just spitballing here. Maybe back your creatives when they say they've been ripped off by huge tech firms instead of finding ways to give our work to megacorps free of charge? I dunno man it's a MYSTERY...

Use, and I cannot state this enough, libraries. UK/RoI authors get paid for library borrows. More than you'd think!
I’m just going to block anyone attempting to justify or excuse pirating books. Times are hard, yes, but absolutely NO ONE needs to steal books. Libraries exist. There are umpteen works legitimately in the public domain. You don’t need to take income from authors trying to scrape a living.

I have been reading @scriblit.bsky.social’s Cursed Under London as my book at bedtime and it’s SO DAMN GOOD. I would walk through fire for this weird little found family
