A famous meme showing a man talking into the ear of an extremely bored woman at a nightclub as her eyes glaze.

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

In one episode of the second series of Stuff, the first five minutes consisted of what appeared to be an episode of Juliet Bravo, and really the only initial clue is that Juliet Bravo was never on BBC2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHmX...

"has moved to Connecticut and is writing a book on quilting" is the best euphemism I have ever heard. "What do you think of X?" "I reckon they'll move to Connecticut and write a book on quilting" "Yeah totally"

Oh, so you think mysterious jewellery heists are COOL now?? Well what if instead of jewels they had stolen the still beating hearts of orphans? Not so cool now is it

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.

Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Media: trans activist criticizes media

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

The alien from They Live! Then he's laughing and it says They Laugh! then he's doing that heart thing with his hands and it says They Love!

The weekend is here!

He should have been stripped of his ‘dukedom’ a long time ago.

Drum fills function as a “signpost” indicating to a listener that you are moving to a new section. While often found in music, you can also use them when explaining a recipe to a friend, reading a chapter book to a child, or testifying to defend yourself from racketeering charges in a court of law.

Trump doesn’t like the photo lol

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

@jimmccauley.bsky.social's Travesties was outstanding!

Hey, if you're at a loose end this evening there's a play at the Rondo you might enjoy.

The foyer of the Rondo Theatre, Bath, with people queuing up to see ‘Travesties’ by Tom Stoppard.

Nothing to see here. Just people queuing up to see the play I directed.

why can't latinum be replicated

Hey! If you’re near Bath and there’s nothing on telly this week that you want to watch, why not come to the Rondo Theatre and see the show I’m directing? www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/bat...

As Douglas Adams' official biographer, I'd just like to put it out there that Douglas Adams would DEFINITELY have considered every single person who uses AI to be a moronic and despicable lump of turd.

It's sadly not very likely, but I may as well try to use my powers for good.

Or like the finest fishy... or chicken?

Cannot WAIT to find out how well Eurotrash has aged.

True story, I saw it myself.

I miss the 80s and 90s cos if something really bad happened there was always a chance that Beadle was about. Like if your car rolled off a quayside there was always a chance, albeit a slim one, that it was just Beadle being about.

Roz is a badass. Roz is also an amazing poet. But more than this, Roz is a walking talking reminder of how confected this stupid bloody trans panic of the last few years has been.

She's been a woman for longer than Wes "lickspittle cunt" Streeting has been alive, and she's worth a million of him.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men.

There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years
