Thrilled to have a piece in a Doctor Who book! Huge thanks Baz for inviting me to his Christmas party, and was very pleased to see my friend Joe in the mix too. Check out the press release below for more, and please do pre-order the book!

I dunno, the Spidey Friends theme by Fallout Boy is pretty great!

Did you know the Romans had an expression for kidnapping your dungeon master? It's carpé DM.

Every fucking day

Can't wait for the wall-to-wall media coverage of What This Means, the endless thinkpieces about Green Party dominance in a working class community meaning Labour has to take their concerns seriously and pivot towards them, you know like we'd get if Reform had won.

The portrait movie poster for "Starship Troopers" (1997) showing a procession of the armed, and armoured, troopers with a horde of bugs behind them, all set against a sci-fi sky. The troopers all have Benny the Spaceman's head from "The Lego Movie" (2014). Some of the Benny's are concerned, some are smiling, and the one at the front is screaming. The title has been changed to "Spaceship Troopers" and the tagline now reads "You're really letting the oxygen outta my tank here!".

From this day in 2015.

I was feeling a bit tired earlier, like I needed a way to recharge a bit. Fortunately, there's a nap for that.

Ok, so you can make a reusable rubber balloon, with a valve that makes plosive sounds when you sit on the balloon... But is it "Fart"?

I've decided I'm going to start rebranding bottles of poison as tragic potions.

I didn't even notice! 😅

Is that purple throne empty to await the studio series Megatron?

The entire UK political/media narrative on welfare is that it is "burgeoning", "a burden" & "unsustainable". But how high is it compared to others? UK welfare at 10.8% of GDP in 2023 (including pensions). Finland spends 25.7% of GDP; France 23.8%: both double the UK.

A tweet: Axe Murder @mccarthyjames all of my plans for the future involve me waking up tomorrow with a sudden sense of discipline and adherence to routine that i have never displayed even once in my life

I just got straight murdered by this. Like it didn’t just attack me, I am now dead

@blumhouse.com I loved M3GAN 2.0, and as someone who wants more M3GAN, is it too late to go back to the @akelacooper.bsky.social script?

THIS is what we've been saying!!

"Has anyone ever told you you look like Harrison Ford?"

"Why no, they haven't" 😁

"Yeah, not surprised."

I bought an Ice Cube tray. Now when I eat dinner on my lap I get Fuck the Police stuck in my head.

If you don't like homophobia, avert your gays now.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

He's a big fan of yours...

Again, most of the replies to this tweet are about "actually he's still not good," but I think that misses the point. The important thing here isn't what column we sort Stephen Fry into, that's extremely internet-headed. The important thing is that this has happened and normal people will now see it

This is the last thing the BBC needs

LOL! Not a Critical Role fan, but omg. Wizards going doooown.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to…
A: find your mom’s Facebook
B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were
C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

Did you know you can season your soup with bricks of precious metal? It's called gold bouillon.

"Kill Bill" movie poster, edited to say "KILL BILLIONAIRES"

I once had a job putting up advertising posters, but I quit because my boss was so rude. I told him it wasn't a good idea to put them in direct sunlight because they would fade really quickly, and then he told me I could stick the posters where the sun doesn't shine!
