● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession.

●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed

● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years

● Sleep well serfs.

● Know your place.

If you have not seen the Weekenders by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer you should seek it out.

It is prime Vic and Bob that rewards a rewatch with surreal detail in every scene.
A scene from the pilot of The Weekenders featuring Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer on a coach driven by Paul Whitehouse (not pictured). In the aisle is a schoolboy who has just inadvertently been elbowed in the balls.

When I said - 'Fuck you, Vice-president Couchfucker' I didn't even mention Vance. I meant some other random Vice-President Couchfucker.

Such lovely news. Not posting there works. If you still are as some way of sticking it to the man please stop, you're just driving their dwindling profits.

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

2024: A Year in Pictures
The Annoying Gentleman painting, except the the young lady is now the Oompah-Loompah from the disastrous Wonka Experience and the gentleman is The Unknown. The Distracted Boyfriend meme, but the boyfriend is now a house brick, the girlfriend is the guy who got bricked during the Farage Riots and the object of the brick's attention are brickman's jogging bottoms. The Drowning Kid meme. The absent-minded mum is labelled as GREGG WALLACE, her daughter is labelled as TOTAL WAR SAGA: THRONES OF BRITTANIA and the kid, well, he's Gregg's overlooked son. The Bike Fall meme, except it's Liz Truss riding the bike, ramming the stick in her spokes and blaming the Underground Transgender Mafia for her downfall. She really is a mentalist.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES
Cartoon. On the left a man with his legs slightly apart, hands on hips. He’s not wearing a top (although that’s not a relevant detail). Underneath is written Monday. On the right the same man with his arms out. Perched all over him are 24 little owls. Below him is written Tuesday. Caption: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

Today’s poem is called “On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’”.
On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’   Upon returning to my desk, having left it temporarily in search of biscuits, I discovered my cat had written a poem on my laptop. It was called ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’ and constituted one of her more difficult pieces, but it was the kind of poem which rewarded repeat reading.   I was struck by its experimental structure, the absence of line breaks; indeed, not one single space between any of the poem’s 10,000 or so characters.   One of the work’s central motifs – ‘jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’ – was, by turns, reassuring and unsettling, while the symbolism of ‘###################’,   hinted at our 21st century preoccupation with social media. And who could not be moved by that devastating final line, its message of hope piercing our hearts like an arrow: ‘`````````5555=======================’. Brian Bilston

It is true, and not just for comedians: the introduction of the ‘like’ button marked the end of Twitter’s golden age. I discovered so many great accounts when they were RTed in my direction. Tomorrow I’m just going to do that for a bunch of funny/interesting people.

Please repost (retweet) stuff on here. Once that stopped on Twitter, we comedians didn’t feel the platform was working for us. I know it’s a wank thing to ask to publicise us, but we need it and we publicise loads of other things. Isn’t reposting a comedian better than reposting outrage? I hope so.

I don't care how brazen this is: if this gets 20 reposts I'll post about one of the greatest tasks of my Taskmaster series, which would be talked about today as much as the trouser theft/texting/song etc, but which was NEVER BROADCAST ON THE SHOW. Or 10, whatever. I'd probably do it for 1.

NEW: "Moving Off X: An Open Letter from UK Journalists"

UK political journalists: "Twitter was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over...

"We have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky" docs.google.com/document/d/1...
We have used Twitter – now X – for many years. It has been a resource for story-gathering, network-building, and a megaphone for getting public-interest stories to a wider audience. And it has been a well of ideas and discourse. Unfortunately that well is now poisoned. All of us have seen X become more toxic and broken since Elon Musk took over in 2022. Feeds have become less useful. Engagement has plummeted, except for those who will pay. Replies gain traction not through merit, but through the corrupted blue-tick system. We have seen hate speech and abuse deliberately dialled up and amplified, boosted not just by the algorithm, but by the owner himself. And England’s racist summer riots were one of many factors suggesting to us that X is not a neutral platform, but a space that now seems to glorify misinformation at a great cost to our public sphere. Millions of people are ditching X, and we are doing so, too. We have taken the view that it is no longer a useful tool for objective reporting, but a weapon being wielded by a narrowing ideological set. A tipping point is coming. Perhaps we are already in it. After much consideration, we have taken the decision to move over to other platforms, in particular Bluesky. For some of us that means instantly deleting our X accounts, for others it is a more gradual process. But we are all putting the majority of our efforts into building more constructive online spaces elsewhere for political dialogue and reporting. Bluesky is becoming a new hub for political discussion, and we encourage other UK journalists to join and become active. We are already seeing far higher engagement on our posts there than we’ve seen recently on X. And importantly, the mechanisms to limit abuse actually work. We enjoyed Twitter while it lasted. It played an important role in shaping many of our careers. And it was, for a long time, the place to be for UK politics. We believe that time is now over. Twitter is dead. Long live Twitter

Today’s poem is called ‘Eye Rhyme Calamity at the Annual World Limerick Contest’.
Eye Rhyme Calamity at the Annual World Limerick Contest   There was a young poet from Slough, Who hadn’t prepared quite enough. He started to read Then wished himself dead, Having failed to think his rhymes through.   His brain must be made out of dough, So slapdash, careless, unthorough! Mumbling into his beard, He made them unheard And ended each line with a cough. Brian Bilston

It's Twitter owns your stuff day. Their terms of service update comes in to effect saying all your words and pictures can be used in their ai. Just as soon as I've got my history file off them I'll be deleting everything.
