Get Twinkies involved too.

Anyone remember the German word for turning on the TV when England are batting and it’s adverts and you think Oh God Someone’s Out but then you realise it’s just a drinks break?

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

And in many ways, that’s alof like Jesus, isn’t it

John Major’s father was born in 1879

Sidebar- I know he has a look, but I’m not sure Pissed Physics Teacher On A School Trip to Brittany was the aim. Or maybe it was?

London knife deaths reach lowest level since Sadiq Khan took office, data shows A 12-month rolling figure shows the lowest number of teenage knife deaths since December 2014

Knife deaths in London in the year to May 2025 were the lowest in a 12 month period since September 2015.

We are making progress, but there is much to do. We will not let-up in our approach with the police, and through prevention with the London VRU, to build a safer city for all.

Best cameo ever. A day’s filming? Christ.

No need to embarrass our guest, he’s wearing a suit….oh. This Freudian Cartoon of a man is beholden to shiny things like a medieval child with an iPhone. He beshits every situation he walks into.

He would absolutely love this one!!

Capitol riots: Did Trump's words at rally incite violence? Donald Trump was accused of inciting violence that left five people dead. So what did the president say?

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social When Trump was impeached for his Capitol rant his own lawyers argued his repeated use of the word 'fight' was figurative. So by their definition the BBC edit is just showing him talking figuratively. Hope that helps :) www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

He’s got potential, this Gilligan guy.

A production in which, having become so utterly pissed off with Robert Lindsay as Christ, he once crucified him facing the cross, so that Lindsay's entire final number was sung with his back to the audience.

Thanking you.

Haha! What’s this from?

Just saw a Joe Rogan clip in which he raves about a John Cleese party political broadcast for the Lib Dems in the 1980s, which has been put to a Hans Zimmer soundtrack. I forget the other three horsemen.

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

Victorian drawing of a blindfolded man with long black hair and a tight suit with red boots prancing around a stage littered by eggs.

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

Baseball is a game normally played in secret by Americans while the British sleep but for some reason it has escaped into the uk daytime and now the secret is out.

Reform are getting in, aren’t they

something which never fails to make me laugh is remembering David Whitley's line about Charlie Bigham ready meals:

'I'll tell you what a good meal for one is - a Charlie Bigham meal for two'

In 5 years, NO ONE WILL REMEMBER TOM HULCE!

Heard good things about Lg. Cheers.

So. Televisions. We’re just running the family one off pretty strong WiFi these days. What brands handle WiFi well? We had a Samsung which was slow as all hell.

It’s taken me inexplicably long to watch Oppenheimer. A subject teetering on the edge of quantum is perfect for CN’s editorial zip zap time hops. Murphy is in total control of his visual self. Fantastic actor. Downey bonkers good. A Conspiracy thriller of people, and atoms.

My water bill just went up 60%. How the hell will people cope with this? They won’t, will they.

Chef’s kiss!

Comedy = tragedy + time

Scarborough Fair = parsley, sage, rosemary + thyme
