I have been a fan of Robin's work (stand-up, books, poetry and radio) for years - and still am - but have always been troubled by his extremist views.

He espouses dangerous radical ideas like "hate speech is bad" and "be kind to people - even if they're different from you".

He must be silenced!
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.

I know countless cis women who have been challenged or abused for being "trans" in a bar or pub or cafe toilet queue or in a gym or changing room.

Sharron and other bigots make the world less safe for all women.
Incorrectly describing homophobic racist Sharron Davies as a 'women's rights activist' is genuinely insulting to women @pippacrerar.bsky.social

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

Current favourite thing: on House of Games this week, Richard’s reading the questions off a card instead of showing them on a screen so the other contestants don’t have an advantage over Josh. Plus we’ve got musical Answer Smash again. Everyone’s still having a lovely time.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

8 years since I spent 3 hours queuing up to get a disappointing autobiography signed 😄

(I do actually have a photo of me & Bruce somewhere, but no idea what I’ve done with it)

Never seen such a massive queue for a signing before & it was still humongous when I was done.

Book’s still crap tho 🤣

I *think* I might have been crocheting too much recently 😬

HAVE YOU BEEN GOING THROUGH MY WASHING AGAIN
Thank you, Claire! I’m wearing your t-shirt today!!
Happy first birthday to the jolly splendid @impq.bsky.social. Hope you’re celebrating tonight with a whiskey, a dance, a disco and/or a hop.

Please continue to fill our earholes with stupid game show rip-offs, dodgy jingles and other waffly bollocks.

Why am I getting car insurance renewal reminder emails from Confused.com for a car that we haven’t owned in 2 ½ years & isn’t saved in our cars list on our profile? Fuck off already, I thought for a moment there we had even more to shell out for this month 😠

Just got in from a very cold, sleety walk & our house is toasty warm & still smells of the nice soup I made for lunch.

Today isn’t all bad.

Well, if I’ve achieved nothing else this weekend, I have seen Dead Poets Society for the first time.

Show me some random vintage comedy LPs & you’d better believe I’m gonna buy them.

Right, Girlbands Forever was a fascinating watch, but how do you have a history of British girl bands & not even mention Girls Aloud? I know they didn’t interview any of the Spice Girls, but they did at least have them as part of the story. Baffling.

LOVE this. 🤘
After a terrible day at work yesterday, I went to watch one of my favourite bands, High on Fire, play live. I rarely go up front at gigs these days but I stood in front of Matt Pike’s stack all night. Got home and listened to incredible new music from Transgressive.

Music really is good for you.

I sell a lot of old copies of Empire on eBay, but hadn’t had any interest in ages, which was unusual.

Turns out when eBay switched over to their ‘Simple Delivery’, they classed them all as parcels rather than large letters, so the postage was way more than it should have been.

Just spent the entire day going through our filing cabinet & binning everything we don’t need. Have also scanned loads of bits for reference, rather than keeping hard copies. Pared it down to the essentials for tax purposes. So satisfying.

(Tho I think our recycle bin might be a bit too heavy now)

-Fry an onion & a couple of cloves of garlic
-Add 100g dried red lentils
-Add a tin of chopped toms
-Add 500ml stock (any will do)
-Simmer for 15-20 mins

You can use this as a basis for spag bol, chilli, shepherd’s pie, whatever. Just add different herbs/spices/beans of your choice.
IT IS TIME FOR BLUESKY RECIPE POSTING

do you have a cheap, healthy, low-cost recipe? post it here! or quote tweet this post. or dunk on me for something I don't care just post easy meals that people can make right now.
