Not leaving Twitter, but I do hope the 1000+ followers I've somehow amassed on there since 2009 can also follow me on here, Instagram, Threads (why not) & also TikTok (again, why not)

Thought I'd make a video going through how I survived #Whamageddon in 2024. Includes an update at the end for how I'm doing in 2025

Music by 8 Bit Universe, because the original version is of course not in it

Part two of my wrestling weekend done. Eventually getting through photos...

RevPro putting on one bell of a show today in Cardiff. Will have to watch back the livestream to see how much me & my signs appear (especially as I was sat in the front row)

Part one of my wrestling weekend done.

First time watching some sort of 30-person Rumble since I watched a Royal one in Philadelphia in 2018. But this one was a lot closer to home.

See you in 2026, Pro Wrestling Chaos!

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

As a previous attendee & Butterfield University graduate, it was great to see @brianbutterfield.bsky.social's The Call of Now released on DVD (& somehow not on Buttflix).

I got my DVD of The Peter Serafinowicz Show signed by Brian. Maybe I get this new DVD signed by Peter?

Trying to summarise all the international football I saw in the last month & the only way I could do it justice is put it as a Botchamania intro (which took a hella long time to edit)...

Saw some elves by a desk at the gym earlier & was going to post with a caption based on "elf on a shelf".

But after someone saw me & asked to take my photo with this pose, we spoke & I found out that he was a former PE teacher of mine from 20 years ago!

Not the biggest fan of the outcome for #BristolCity. At least it's at home though 🤷🏽‍♂️

When you're already at the Electric Ballroom the night before to see Eiffel 65, so may as well go back the day after to watch PROGRESS Wrestling for the first time!

Thought I posted already on here but didn't. Congrats to Bristol-born Lando Norris on becoming F1 World Champion!

But still hoping that Piastri becomes World Champion in 2026. Or least not have yet another first-time world champion win again in consecutive years to make it boring
