Also get rid of the king and replace him with animals dressed as royalty. Both on notes and in our political system.
Keep Turing on the £50s, Caroline Lucas on the £10s, I should be on the fivers.
Petition for Little Simz to be on the £20 note.
there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

Love the comments around AI that are like “finally the barriers to art have been removed”. Like as if I turned up at a World Cup in autonomous mech, that moves from my ideas, screaming “finally the barriers in football have been removed” people would go "what a player". As fun as that would be…
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Now seems like a good day to post this joke to Bluesky.
The best joke I've ever had to miss the punchline of was one uninspiring election (I forget which year) when I decided to spoil my voting slip by writing "people who count ballots are cunts" across it.
Hi parents, I wrote the latest episode of The Woohoos on Channel 5 watch it on catchup and learn how glow worms find eachother in the dark (spoiler - their bums light up)
Still time to sign up for this evening! Go go go 😍
Who am I to criticise a multi-millionaire but if I were writing a character who belongs to a minority group I'd feel like I should do some research into how that group might want to be represented.
...people and, by and large, they DO want diagnosis to understand who they are, why they struggle with things, their rights etc. Gervais will say its just one character saying his opinion but it's disingenuous to pretend that this scene isn't meant to be a piece of social commentary.
There's a scene in Derek where someone asks him if he wants a diagnosis and Derek's like "will it change who I am? No? Then why bother" and I've often seen it shared online as something really profound and insightful. I spent 5 years doing a job where I ran focus groups with learning disabled...
Similarly on my phone, what the hell does this mean?
Reminds me of how I've been banned from Live at The Apollo.
Here's a very brief preview in which I talk about why I don't trust my GP
Thanks for coming out!
This one hurt
My friend who's a tax accountant reckons its like HS2 the gov know its a terrible idea but cant backout now because the optics of doing so after putting so much into it will be bad
Firstly, thank you very much. It's actually a cycle helmet I believe but maybe the cover could be used as a sort of rorschach test?
“A fantastic introduction to what it’s like to be neurodivergent: funny; interesting; and free from the preconceptions and cliche that have built up around the subject.” - Frankie Boyle
‘Charming, moving, funny stories from the lives of two talented neurodivergent artists. Highly relatable if you’re neuro-atypical. Eye opening & empathy building for everyone else.’ Deborah Frances-White
oh and here are some nice things people have said about it..
'I loved this book! It's very funny, disarmingly honest, and full of heart. Enjoy both insight and validation via the brilliantly wired minds of two top comedians.' - Shappi Khorsandi
Parents! This'll be fun.
They have their own charts but there should be an audiobook too. Will look into Xig Xag and try to get us on there too!
We've got a book coming out and I'm super proud of it! It's a bunch of funny autobiographical stories with a neurodivergent theme but it's not in any way inspiring or informative. Pre-orders really help to get it in the charts and to let bookshops know its popular. Link is in my bio.
