BELINDA CARLISLE: Heaven is a place on Earth

DAVID BYRNE: Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens

FRANK BLACK: This monkey’s gone to heaven

JOHN LENNON: …Imagine there’s no heaven

BYRNE: What the fuck is your problem, dude

CARLISLE: How dare you

BLACK: Yeah man we were having a good time

People are going to keep insisting that UK anti-trans politics is really composed of jilted lefty feminists even as its leaders are literally running as Tory candidates.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Robert Lindsay as Wolfie in the 1970s sitcom Citizen Smith.

The RW media’s reaction to the Green by-election victory makes me so furious I almost wish we were the absolute menace they make us out to be.

Newspaper columnists with named like Pippa or Nigel, pretending to be working class.

Tuxedo cat with a white belly, white arms and legs, and a pink nose and white cheeks, sleeping on her back in a sort of c-shape with her arms above her head.

My happy child.

There’s an optimistic hint of Spring in the air today. Never mind, World War Three will soon fix that.

Starmer personally and his entire idiotic party needs to get off twitter yesterday. The searing disconnect between whatever bile they are consuming on an hourly basis versus real people on the ground is plainly obvious at this point. No leader would continue down this path

Reform: Stop the boats! Deport people!
Starmer: OMG we have to beat the Reform Party! STOP MORE BOATS! DEPORT MORE PEOPLE! ISLAND OF STRANGERS!
Hannah Spencer: Everybody deserves a nice life.
Starmer: Hannah Spencer is more interested in dividing people than uniting them.

Voters: ‘We hate celery’

Labour: ‘clearly we need to offer more celery.’

This is the same BS as MAGA'S "Stop the Steal." Just sore losers trying to invalidate a result that exposes their utter failure.

Something a bit mad. Yesterday night, a drunk guy wanted a photo of me, because he thought I was A Famous.

I insisted I wasn't, but he really wanted a photo. The mad part was that I was sitting at a table with actual famouses, but the guy was oblivious. I'm a proud human shield.

It is fully batshit to describe people who mostly voted for you less than two years ago as extremists. If you're on the left you're fairly used to Labour's message being "fuck you' but this is a step beyond that.

I just feel like, ideally, the Labour response to yesterday's result would have tried to talk people *out* of detecting to the Greens, rather than, y'know, the opposite?

The trouble is, if lawnmowers awaken from their torpur too early, they can starve.

Hark! The first lawnmower of the season!

Just come across the apparent Badenoch quote "monster of mass harvesting of Muslim votes"

At what point do the Muslim MPs on the Tory benches think "yeah... she really doesn't think we're people"

Drunk Me said the same thing when a belligerent guy asked if I was a "poof".

Actually, the first thing Drunk Me said when he said "you're not a man are you?" was "YOU WISH!"

Also, I think a lot of cis men would prefer a hot woman with similar genital factory settings that they have, especially knowing a lot of women who are popular for that reason. It seems mad that anyone is weird about it.

I think a lot of guys get transphobic/homophobic thoughts that come out when they're drunk and have big feelings. I'm not a bloke, and most of the things that make me a woman are mainly just physical and sociological symptoms. I'm just a me.

After he'd gone, I found out he'd come from a funeral, so was going through some stuff. He was convinced I was Lisa Lashes. He also asked, repeatedly, if I was secretly a man. I asked if that would matter to him. I hope he's okay.

Manifested it!

Schematic of a belt-like device, fastening between the thighs. At the meeting of the thighs is a boat-shaped object labelled A. It attaches to a pouch-shaped object labelled B. The diagram is named "Catamenial sack".

Good morning, eager beavers. We regret to inform you we're going to show you another awful old-timey patent. Today, let's take a look at the "Improvement in catamenial and urinal bandages and receptacles" or "Catamenial sack" patented by Madison Vedder in 1935.

Loved the Stewart Lee bit about 'Wish I could be dead like Bill Hicks and be judged on eight gigs. Instead, I have to go on living, decreasing the quality of my own obituary with every show.'

I reckon he'd have gone full QAnon. His stuff was definitely misogynistic at times too. I was an absolutely huge fan and he was incredibly important for the time - but yeah, I can't see him changing well with the times.
