What do you ketamine it’s all over between them…??? Our new issue of The Eye on sale now

Your regular reminder that fraudsters read the news more closely than anyone - and use real hooks like the winter fuel payment u-turn to make their fraudulent scams more believable. Please warn your family members

Happy 22nd birthday to the time I made an offhand reference to my hometown in a TV column and the local paper responded with this:

Hardly the most important thing here, but only a fellow Aussie would be shot by a rubber bullet & the next thing they say is “yeah, I’m good” 🇦🇺

How much do they pay them to watch it!??

Instead of being in their bubble on Bluesky, liberals could instead be expanding their knowledge of being told to ‘fuck off & die cuck’ by fanatical fanboys of a narcassistic drug addled Nazi

Weekend treat for ya as the world is still on fire. Yes ealgle eyes the pooch’s Wicker Man is slightly smaller as some stick returning (behind his back) has been going on…

Irony take the rest of the century off…

Hahahaha. A lot of “comedy fandom” seems to have a sort of nostalgic brain injury. This is a good one.

The Unbound/Boundless disaster shows how long authors will suffer in silence for fear of upsetting publishers and looking like a troublemaker. All trad published authors learn to do this to a lesser or greater extent, it reflects terribly on our industry.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

YOUNG BOOZER

One of my favouite bit of silly this year. Might write more about Leon next week 👇👇👇

The wildest ride in fourteen words you’ll have today…

Kinda night the world really needed. Thank you narcasstic clowns. bravo 🙌

Oh stop it I can’t laugh any more than I already am…

No matter how bad a day you’re having at least your not the white South Africans Trump only allowed into America to escape a non existant genocide to keep Elon happy.

Three words to get you out of this mess King Tango… Pizza Express Woking

Don’t have much time for Trump & Elon, but even I have to admit their last photo together is very moving

Okay, what was in my mind has already been said. you feel the Lorne-ness in this. Love his as a God or… The podcast interview still a great listen

Mark Maron’s WTF podcast interview with Lorne Michaels is comedy gold & a superb listen on American comedy history but left it still thinking that brutal bearpit SNL way of making a show won’t translate here. Truly hope the show makes some young up & coming performers stars but SNL runs most of the…

The Barry Fantoni (RIP) section is some proper good Eye writing history. Imagine a satire writer at tbe mag who didn’t go to a posh University. How unlikely!

Worst episode of Watercolour Challenge EVER

We need a detective who doesn’t play by the rules & doesn’t get the job done. He’s just a lazy bastard. End of.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.
