BlueSky: the social media network for kids who were excited when it was a Wet Playtime.

Walking home at this time of evening is becoming less of a chore.

At one stage, Morrissey said to the crowd “My name is Steven” and there was a big cheer and then a woman behind me chuckled heartily and said to her partner “Christ, could you imagine if his name actually *was* Steven!”

Peep Show "That wasn't very Christmassy" meme but the text says "That's wasn't very FIFA Peace Prizey" I'm meme posting in an attempt to make the despair at world events, even though they're being orchestrated from the other side of the world, you see.

This is my favourite post of the whole by election

Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."

hit me today: Matt Goodwin looks like the villain in a movie where the hero is a cute little detective mouse

Ah so you’re observing me

But I like to prepare any conversational huddle for the fact that I shall shortly attempt to break in to their chat by circling them repeatedly, doing the Jaws theme tune louder and louder as I approach.

Surely *one* cigarette

You see, I find it tremendously triggering when someone says they’ll be back in a moment and then leaves forever as that was what mother did at the orphanage.

Oh the sense of betrayal at a networking event when someone says they just have to pop out for a moment and then they just go and directly join another conversation.

Hahaha. hahahahhaha. Hahahahaaha. No it isn’t www.timeout.com/uk/news/the-...

They should’ve implemented that policy years ago.

I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying “And we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as well“ and Hoyle saying “wait what”

If Mandelson was planning to leg it to the British Virgin Islands and Hoyle knew because he went there last week, the first time a Commons Speaker has visited, that is incredibly bad luck on Mandelson’s part.

"It is not enough—when applying to one of the most hallowed universities—to close your essay by repeating the question, 'Where do I want to be in five years?' with the word 'So' in front of it. It is especially insulting to then write, 'Well… we’ll just have to wait and see…'"

What’s the worst misspelling or mispronunciation of your name that you’ve had? Mine’s an estate agent who repeatedly referred to me as Piffany. In writing.

if the Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton were to be asked ceaselessly from now until the polls open about the details of his party's policies to regulate the sexual economy, that would be not unamusing

Russia launched its full-scale invasion exactly four years ago.

If anyone had told us, during that first month, that this would be the situation four years later, we would have instantly called it a massive Ukrainian victory and a staggering Russian defeat

The Prince of Darkness arrested! Will the scandal mean he'll have to switch to Of Darkness Mountbatten-Windsor?

I cannot think of anything I would hate more than a by-election in my constituency.

Constant canvassing. Farage is about. The future of the PM may depend on this but you’re voting based on the bins. Pop out for milk and you end up on the news with a vox popper who thinks you’re a bewildered yokel.
