A tribute to Donnie and Elon:

“Dubai-style chocolate”. Apparently it’s flavoured with 100% Dubai-grown human rights violations.

I dug my key into the side Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel-drive, Carved my name into the leather seats, I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, And I slashed a hole in all four tires, And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.

I can't take these things seriously.

Ah, Northern. 17 hours is presumably how long it'll take you to get from Hazel Grove to Levenshulme on one of their trains.

Wanted to get brunch somewhere classy, so I’m in the cafe at Tesco in Slough.

Feel the heartbreak. (Stop giggling.)

Being home for the National Theatre's Friday Rush is dangerous. Sometimes tickets just accidentally fall into my basket and then I have to buy them. (Translation: I'm seeing Here We Are again next week.)

"Further casting is to be announced." Oh dear. (This presumably means quite a lot of the National Theatre cast - whose performances were sublime - will not be making the trip across the river.)

Damn. I'm old.

Went to Sainsbury's. Bought stuff. Came back.

Kyiv, Ukraine—tonight. We deserve a better life than this. Russia is a terrorist state.

How am I meant to sleep with memes like this popping up on my feed??

Better stock up on popcorn.

I think the phrase I'm looking for is "what the actual fuck?" Wordle 1,447 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

It is what it is.

“Ideological capture” - a meaningless, made-up phrase designed to sound intimidating to the kind of voter who thinks monster truck rallies are dangerously highbrow.

This seems to have now disappeared from the Express website but can still be read in the archive. archive.ph/mQIec

Kasper moved to the USA because Denmark wasn’t fascist enough for him. Kasper did an oops with his naturalisation paperwork. Kasper’s totally-MAGA wife voted for Trump. Kasper got arrested by ICE and is now in a detention facility.

My mouth may indeed be silent - but my face usually says it for me.

50 years ago today, when Britain voted to remain in Europe (and not by a small majority but a large one), the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc were not owned by three far-right Europhobes.

Ooh.

The public certainly saw through you. They never chose you to be their Prime Minister, and at the first opportunity to vote on your catastrophic bin fire of a premiership they kicked you out of one of the safest Tory seats in Britain. Do stop continually embarrassing yourself. 🥬
