I have a cartoon in the current Private Eye

Cartoon. Two people standing on a stage looking at a third person who is jumping down through a trap door. In the foreground we see the backs of the audience’s heads. One standing people observes “It’s just a stage he’s going through”

Anyway, in case you missed it, some wondering from me about whether Kemi Badenoch has ever actually read Terry Pratchett

Has Kemi Badenoch actually read Terry Pratchett?

She claims he’s her favourite author, but his books have a few lessons for her

The sort of cartoon you'd expect to see from me

Cartoon showing a man reading from a dictionary to another. He says "So, it turns out confirmation bias means exactly what I expected it to mean|"

Is any journalist at Conservative conference going to ask Robert Jenrick where he got his new "Let's take our country back," slogan from?

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Catching up with Strange New Worlds S3 and had forgotten how invested I was in the whole Spock, Nurse Chapel thing.

The word 'commit' is tied to criminal acts. Suicide has been legal for more than 60 years, but our language hasn't changed.

Why it's time to stop saying the c-word when talking about suicide

man, it sure would be cool if 223 of you downloaded the latest episode of noncensored, our very silly, fully-independent satirical improvised character comedy show that's been nominated for best comedy at the arias in the past, by the end of today.

or if one of you could download it 223 times.

NonCensored

You can’t say anything any more - and here to prove it is Harriet Langley-Swindon, with a round of all the best bits of her weekly radio show on a national network that can’t be named for legal reason...
