I do stuff in comedy but don't let it define me. I record a semi-regular radio show called the Records Retrieval Service that I have let define me. I'm yet to be picked up by ANY UK radio station. https://www.mixcloud.com/RecordsRetrievalService/

Back on my semi sporadic radio grind. Show 90 if you can believe the persistence.

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

โ€œA vote for Labour is the only way to stop Reformโ€

Or

โ€œLabour can actually do what Reform only claims it can doโ€

The government needs to pick one strategy, not both. The government seems unaware that voters can actually hear it trying both messages at once.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Hi comics people. Letโ€™s say you were a little known debut comics person tabling @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social with one comicโ€ฆ how much stock of that comic might you take? I want to be optimistic but I donโ€™t want to be foolish and I need to work out if I need a reprint.

This comic is powerful stuff. So much expressed within a few, floppy pages. Itโ€™s what comics are good at, done well.
