Poster for a Big Comedy Night on 6 October 2025 at Churchill Theatre in Bromley in aid of the charity Greener & Cleaner UK. Acts shown on the poster are Sikisa who was MC, James Acaster, Rosie Jones (who sadly couldn’t make it), Emmanuel Sonubi, Nish Kumar and Sara Pascoe. Everyone was fantastic - restored my faith in live comedy.

Best part of last night’s gig in support of the charity Greener & Cleaner UK (and the whole gig was incredible - no notes) was James Acaster saying how refreshing it was to finally have a Labour leader he hated because it proved he wasn’t tribal.

If you get into the weeds of how many non-white faces/people not speaking English is acceptable, you've already lost. Make them explain *why* the scenario they've imagined is a bad thing.

See, these kinds of claims are the ones you can't tackle with pointing out the obvious lie, because that cedes the basic argument to them. You have to take them at their word and then calmly ask, "So why was that a problem for you?"

It makes you once again wonder what era they’re harking back to. Jenrick is about my age. There’s never been a Birmingham that wasn’t extremely multicultural during his life.

It’s very straightforward racism.

This has been the muttered mantra of the racist since as long as I can remember. I literally remember hearing people say this as a child, and I’m not especially young.

Not going to lie, this would totally change my life. Not specifically because it would give me ‘more money’, but it would regularise my income in a way that’d mean I could work in a more organised and sensible way on a broader range of projects.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

"The roots of Palestinian food are regularly disrespected and wilfully ignored by the UK culinary industry, which Fadi is accustomed to, and attributes to laziness of the general restaurant-goer."

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Oil and gas interests will never not be trying to make climate change an individual responsibility. It's humanity's last Red Herring

Just a reminder that the reason these articles exist is because liberals need to pretend to still care about climate change when they have abandoned every single structural reform and are fully committed to disaster capitalism. Eugenics is the next step there.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Fuck you - fuck you again.

No black or brown ones either. It's not our fault nobody turned up to their conference.

red candle burning

Today is the festival of light in Myanmar - held on the Burmese lunar month of #Thadingyut.

Thinking of everyone in #Myanmar tonight while lightening some candles at home, far away from my other home.
May all beings be happy.
Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu
🙏🪔🌕

Let's not forget what's happening in Myanmar.

Good people can and should care about more than one thing

Thank you 🙏🏽

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

It’s Banned Books Week, and I don’t need you to buy my book as a solve for it (but buy it if you want to! That’s still extremely cool of you)—I need you to show up for your public libraries and your schools!

MOIRA ROSE-VALANTINE posted: 4 months ago hi x this didn't work me me and my husband are non gmo gluten free vegans and cannot use egg so I substituted this for massed banana and it just would not set I followed all of the instructions so I think it may be my oven unfortunately that cannot maintain temp and in the end it was really runny and tasted quite bitter so not sure what happened but I won't be trying this again im sorry what a waste. IN -90 REPLY SARAH AUTHOR posted: 4 months ago Hi Moira, an extreme substitution like using mashed banana in place of egg for an egg custard tart is not always going to work. I'm sorry that it felt like a waste of time, but sometimes one just has to acknowledge that a banana isn't an egg, you know? 80 REPLY

Eggless egg custard tart what could go wrong

Digital side eyes are possible though

I like that on social media one can simply ask great cookbook writers like @meemalee.bsky.social and @nigella.bsky.social if it’s ok to substitute chocolate bananas for real bananas in their recipe.

And they can’t physically thrown things at you ! ;)

double checked this and it originated from the LBC political editor over on twitter, so it does appear to be real.

with that out of the way: lmfao

Does Keir Starmer know what his job is or what? Like does he realise he is Prime Minister of the UK or does he keep looking at the headlines thinking "oh boy, that looks like a challenge, I'd hate to be the guy who has to do something about any of this!!"

Hi, is there anybody here who is in/from Spain who could help me answer some questions about RPGs in the 90s?
