HELL YEAH!!!!!! 🤩

This is incredible

This is amazing 🤯🤯

Melania and Grimes tonight.

Since taking up office in 2023 as the Assistant General Secretary, I’ve had a great privilege to lead on, and develop the @fbunational.bsky.social support to our Disabled and Neurodivergent (DND) members.

What questions should writers ask? Katherine Rundell nails it in ‪@thetls.bsky.social‬

Wonderful book to read outside, especially if you have a little friend to read to!

Boo fucking hoo. It's built on THEFT. "I don't know how I'd ask all those people or afford to pay for all their work." Then you DON'T GET TO HAVE IT. These would-be geniuses have convinced themselves that something in their miracle blah-blah machine is so inherently amazing rules don't apply.

It’s been two months since I wrote about AI which, as someone who detests having to write about AI, feels like not much time at all. On fake books, cash traps and magic beans, and why I continue to hate every vapid tentacle AI thrusts in our direction. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Are you on Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Employment Support Allowance? UK govt will compel banks to hand information to it about your money. You can't prevent it even if you never committed fraud. Same won't apply to PPE, tax, subsidy fraudsters, corporate crooks, disqualified directors.

There's going to be a brilliant comedy gig in Exeter on Wednesday 21 May featuring Mike Wozniak, Spencer Jones and a bunch of other comedians, to raise funds for the the comedy festival in June. There are plenty of tickets left so please spread the word! www.exetercornexchange.co.uk/whats-on/exe...

Thanks Tom, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social I can't decide which one I want to read first.

Lovely surprise delivery on Saturday! Forgotten I had pre-ordered The Devils by Joe Abercombie from @biggreenbooks.bsky.social Thanks Simon! Wonderfully packaged and in mint condition. Looking forward to the other books I have pre-ordered arriving later this year.

This is an awful lot of pre-summer before actual summer. It’s making me worry what actual summer will be like. It’ll either be far too much actual summer, or not much actual summer at all.

The Mr Blobby jump scare cameo in the Last of Us was actually terrifying.

Roughly 17,000 councillors in the UK. Nearly 6500 Labour. Just over 5000 Tory. 3000 Lib Dem. Reform have 799 and suddenly N.F. is being touted by the media as the next Prime Minister? The Green Party have 850 councillors. Why aren't the Green Party being bigged-up by the press? Seriously, why?

Great night last night seeing the very funny Richard Herring @herring1967.bsky.social Regretting not having my photo taken with him, but shyness kicked in and I bottled it 😕 Spectacular lightning storm on the way home ⛈️

I've been looking forward to this for months. It's been a very stressful week of work, so I'm looking forward to it even more now.

Tonight. Lincoln. Still a couple of tickets lincolnartscentre.co.uk/event/richar...

From my joke book and from the news

People of Leeds, you need to book tickets - you will not be disappointed!

Why not get drunk, back this, forget doing so and then being surprised when a pair of pants turn up www.kickstarter.com/projects/467...

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Say what you like about Various Artists but they had some bloody good compilation albums

I think most artists feel like they're screaming into the void at the moment. If you see a piece of #art posted here today, into which someone no doubt poured a full measure of love and toil, please do them the kindness of reposting it. Art that's never seen is like a caged bird. Thank you.

Kurt Vonnegut man

I have such huge respect for @carolecadwalla.bsky.social Thank you Carole, for your bravery and for being an amazing role model to us all. ❤️ youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

£798 to £20,000. We need to get motoring to get this over the line. If you want to be able to watch my bollock based stand up show from the comfort of your own home, then you have to back this in the next week. Ball or nothing www.kickstarter.com/projects/467...
