Stewart Lee is over here writing throwaway descriptions like "Weetabix-haired news-badger Andrew Neil'. Join me at The Nerve.
Stewart Lee: From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and get away with it. So let’s stop them

BREAKING: Left-wing independent Catherine Connolly is set to become Ireland’s next president after her rival conceded defeat in a presidential election Saturday.

The senior poodle mix I’m fostering has–as a result of being a mostly blind stray–developed the habit of rearing back on his butt and blindly panic biting when at all frightened which is always. Totally stealing that move.

Remember a few years ago (could be 3, could be 10) when the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to persons for reasons synopsized as: the universe is not locally real?
I know there is scientific fact there before there is knee-knocking resonance, but boy that phrase turns up in my thoughts regularly.

I'm not gonna hate on yalls movie. If you like it, I love it. But you will never convince me that Leo DiCaprio shouting while wearing a tatty bathrobe is the best movie of the year when Ryan Coogler was literally summoning the ancestors a few months ago.

Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.

It’s genuinely well-produced and engaging as reality shows go
Zohran’s primary victory has broken the WSJ opinion section’s brain in a way reminiscent of 17th century Massachusetts residents spiraling into panic about witchcraft. Fascinating to watch.
