All my comics have happy endings!

incidentally I enjoyed the interview on BBC News last night with a woman from the Nobel committee who pointed that so long as Trump was using the judicial system to go after his enemies and sending troops into peaceful cities, he probably wasn't a strong candidate for the Nobel peace prize

Love a hotel buffet breakfast. Love to have muesli and then a fry-up with 7 hash browns and then to be like, you know what would wash that down? Some BRIE!

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

None of us are safe in a world where basic norms in respect of the sanctity of human life are blithely disregarded. Those norms must be enforced, and enforced visibly. There must be political and legal consequences for every politician who made the genocide possible. The alternative is unthinkable.

“I took this gig in good faith, assuming that my head would be chopped off before I even got to the hotel. What I found may surprise you/make you a hypocrite. Right? No? What else what else”

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

Still not over Tom Daley flashing more flesh at a funeral than I do at the beach #CelebrityTraitors

Is that pronounced “higg”

Sassily Vagina is my new drag name

Okay it was line of the series until “Éat the lame duck” #Taskmaster

she’s truly delivering on the “frustrated reaction gif” meme front

“Somehow I’m a knobhead for not ringing Katie Price” gets my vote for line of the series so far #Taskmaster

Ruth Codd serving funeral in House Of Usher

Ruth Codd serving funeral in The Celebrity Traitors

It's an actual talent to be able to serve multiple looks at fictional funerals

Every queer group of friends in one picture:

#thetraitors #celebritytraitors

love that we are 22.22% of the way through the series and so far they have eliminated one person #CelebrityTraitors

the way they didn't restyle ANYONE'S hair between the funeral and the roundtable so everyone looks a state <3 #CelebrityTraitors

well that answers my "they're all celebrities, surely they'll all know how to spell each other's names?" question #CelebrityTraitors

I would immediately write down Stephen's name just because of this #CelebrityTraitors

Tameka dropping the first "yourself" of the series #CelebrityTraitors

I'd be telling everyone else that Stephen's a Traitor just so I wouldn't have to listen to him doing speeches at every roundtable #CelebrityTraitors

Obsessed with Charlotte Church and Tom Daley having a tits off at a funeral #celebritytraitors

omg I KNOW, I fall for it every time

also lol at Tom Daley going to a funeral with his cleavage out #CelebrityTraitors

That look from Tom! 😆 #CelebrityTraitors

(also really hoping Stephen is going to be the new Joe, confidentally going after the wrong people the entire time)

Jonathan absolutely sees himself as the Traitor who's going to throw all the other Traitors under the bus, and I hope it goes as well for him as it went for Wilf, Paul etc etc etc #CelebrityTraitors
