Greg: And the task was...?

Alex: Conquer the city.

Greg: And you?

Odysseus: Built a giant wooden horse.

Greg: And it's impressive. Completely fails the task.

Odysseus (suddenly looking very like Jason Mantzoukas): But does it, Greg? Does it?

Alex: There was a camera inside the horse.

The sitcom Silicon Valley is a while ago now. It depicted tech as beta nerds with big dreams, where even the top tier werenโ€™t male big-dog coded.

And into that they dropped Russ Hanneman, venture capitalist, and the Worldโ€™s Worst Man.

Itโ€™s weird that now โ€œtechโ€ means just loads of Russ Hannemans.

GOING UP

01 Small Prophets (BBC)
My bf Mackenzie Crook does gentle folk comedy like nobody else.

02 Magnolia trees
The candelabras of spring are lit, as they have been since the beginning of time. NB! their petals are edible and taste of ginger.

03 Rosalia ft Bjรถrk at the Brits
New rule: all songs must have a breakdown where Bjรถrk suddenly appears like a final boss.

04 Sunlight
One (1) slice of sunlight hit my skin and I became immediately manic!!!!!

05 Hannah Spencer
I just think sheโ€™s cool like Iโ€™d like to get a matcha with her and learn about different types of washers and gaskets??

Between Brewdog, Labour and Dubai eating it, a very specific type of guy is having the worst time and they absolutely deserve it.

There's a lot of mean-spiritedness about people who have gone to live in Dubai. We need to help, and ensure they have secure accommodation in the UK for 91 days of the next tax year.

So much will be said about all this in the coming days, but IMO the biggest takeaway is that James Watt and Martin Dickie each pocketed more than the price BrewDog was eventually sold for, while 500 hardworking staff are now out of a job & 220k equity punks don't get a dime.

Absolute charlatans.

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller.

First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk.

Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it.
Logger: Sure.

Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place.
Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
