Me, watching the Cobra Kai finale:

Especially hard to take from somebody whose work week seems to involve tweeting every 47 seconds, ducking his kids‘ medical emergencies & taking enough horse tranquilliser to cancel the Grand National.

Paging @dankackroyd.bsky.social

Almost time to wheel out the gag with the “…I did an accumulator with the Archbishop of Canterbury” punchline.

There is nothing like hearing the kids of the family in the holiday rental next door to remind me why I never wanted to have kids. It sounds like owning a car alarm that frequently shits itself.

Anya sees something in the distance (1). Taking a closer look, she realises it is your nonsense (2). Anya really has no time for your nonsense (3).

Fraser Nelson with a classic in the ‘Somehow My Pants Appear To Be Full Of Shit’ genre.

Trump is like a toddler running around a house knocking over ornaments while a childminder runs after him righting them again, only the childminders are judges & the ornaments are nuclear safety & air traffic control & the toddler can fire the childminders.

Ten years ago, Zac Efron would already be preparing for the role in the biopic.

In which the BBC go out of their way to point out the leader of the group is trans - despite it having zero relevance to the story - but somehow fail to mention that everyone else involved is cis (an equally-irrelevant detail). It’s ingrained bigotry by now. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Harley, channeling her inner Eric Morecambe:

He’s doing the Full Arne here:

That time I thought Ken Barlow was caressing Fiona’s neck for no reason

If anything, doing an actual Nazi salute is only about the seventh-most Nazi thing about Steve Bannon.

It feels like after taking a beloved sitcom actor from us, ketamine kind of owes us one at this point.

All of the below plus the mother of a selection of his children publicly pleading with him to contact her because one of them has a medical emergency & he’s been ignoring her messages. No man has ever been more divorced.

A narcissist psychopath wasted on ketamine & waving a chainsaw around is the richest & most powerful person on the planet.

If the only way you can make your product profitable is by committing serious federal offences, maybe your product is terrible. If I could only make money selling toasted cheese sandwiches by having a sideline in sex trafficking, I’d at least try to make my sandwiches nicer first.

The previous owner of Reform (l) and the new owner of Reform (r).

A View To A Kindle

Like Harold Shipman doing a welfare check at a nursing home.

Nodding along vigorously to this:

They’ll need to do a double blind trial to check its effectiveness & send people to a Jack Whitehall gig as a placebo.

I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about the US President referring to himself as an absolute ruler with a divine right to remain as head of state for the rest of his life. That doesn’t seem like the kind of thing he’d be interested in.

The fuckers just charged me for a 365 subscription I cancelled weeks ago but sure, concentrate on doing this, I suppose.

A governmental organisation that publishes accounts that are wrong to the tune of eight billion dollars sounds like the kind of department Musk’s team should be taking a look at.

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Based on a different conversation - what’s your simple food/flavour that can match any gourmet dish? Example - the thick, brown juices on the bottom of a roasting tin after cooking a chicken.

There are many revealing gems in Simon Hart's memoirs of being a Tory Chief Whip, but this one is my favourite: - Andrew "utter knob" Bridgen gets the boot. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

This reveals far more about Johnson than Trump, whom we know to be a bought-and-paid-for Russian asset. The plea to ignore Trump’s glaring faults & assertion that telling outright lies is a perfectly valid way of getting attention & shouldn’t be taken seriously is….telling.
