And finally, a stack of sun dogs.

Blissed-out sun dog II

Look at this beautiful little benny enjoying the spring sunshine this morning.

I’m calling it. Elon Musk is incapable of sitting down on a chair.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Are they testing empathy on rodents to see if it’s possible for humans to do it?

Finally wrote to my MP and completed the consultation survey on copyright & AI. I’ve had it on my to do list for ages. If you’re concerned about the implications of the governments proposals on writers (I very definitely am!) then the deadline to have your say is next week.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Beautiful. Stay for the advert at the end

This is doing the rounds again. Any excuse to share.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

My love for you is like a peregrine falcon. One more valentine from a past year.

“I've just injected steroids into my arm" "Anabolic?" "No, just my arm"

New banger just dropped on @oldfoolspod.bsky.social.

Important update on practice for First Aiders.

Watched The Apprentice last night (the film). It seems our only way out is the sweet release of death after someone gives him some zirconium cufflinks.

New #HorribleHistories out and the final sketch is by me, and is one of the most childish things I’ve ever written, which is saying something. There’s loads of it in this series. Sorry! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The new series of Horrible Histories started on Friday! I have written a sketch for the first episode about Alan Turing, one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, where his trousers keep falling down. Sorry Alan www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0027p7b

Special shoutout to the child who saw me and Howard in Nandos afterwards, recognised him from the show and ran up to him to say "pull my finger". Not sure what the people around us thought was going on.

Reform are panicking about people pointing out that they want to replace the NHS. So please don't share this clip of Nigel Farage saying he'd rather healthcare was done through insurance companies.

A lovely show for @leicscomedyfest.bsky.social @comedyclub4kids.bsky.social show at The Demontford Hall today!

These are our dogs Chewie and Yoda. They are a massively anti-social pain in the arse, because of their various issues, but I love them very much, sometimes I prefer their company to the people who they bark at until they leave. But not always. Today it is four years since we rescued them.

PITCH: An updated version of the curse of Cassandra where she's describing things that are happening now, in front of everyone, but still isn't believed.

This is a lovely bill. Families near Leicester, come along!

Writing a preschool script about nature and trying to find a way to talk about the relative size of blue tits and great tits, without it sounding rude. Pray for me.
