I know it's not popular on here to suggest that there may be a rational basis for Trump's policies, but the undeniable fact is that unless you control Canada and Greenland you don't get the +5 troops bonus for North America.

There should be a sequel to A Christmas Carol; the story of the street urchin who runs into the butchers on Xmas morning, wanting to take the largest turkey in the shop, and claiming, without proof, that the biggest miser in town is paying for it.
Lordy, I bet he got the shit kicked out of him.

As we take the opportunity to look back at the events of the last year, one lesson emerges very clearly: don’t look back at the events of the last year. It’ll only upset you.

It’s that time of year again when supermarket staff are wearing Christmas jumpers, Santa hats, and the dead eye looks of people who want every customer dead, whilst their souls slowly drain from their bodies in despair after having to listen to Mariah Carey 487 times per shift.

Scientists are 99.99% certain that catastrophic global warming is a direct result of human activity. But climate sceptics can beat that: they're 110% certain it's not.

In-cred-i-ble show by The Divine Comedy at The Barbican last night. Not that I haven’t pointed it out before but Neil Hannon is by some distance the greatest songwriter of his generation. What a remarkable body of work. What a privilege to get to listen to it grow over 30 years.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

I bought some CR2032 batteries and noticed that they now have a pattern of coloured dots on one side. Google revealed that the dots are ink, dissolve in saliva, and provide a visual warning that someone has swallowed a battery. So I licked one. My tongue was blue for two days.

113 years ago tonight, the Titanic struck an iceberg, as a result of hubris, greed and denial. It wouldn’t happen now, of course, as all the icebergs seem to be melting. For the same reasons.
