me sowing distrust in mainstream media to facilitate the rise of the popular right: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

me watching the rise of a populist left: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Please help Catherine Sullivan fight aggressive stage 4 bowel cancer Help Catherine fund treatment for aggressive stage 4 bowel cancer so she can gain more precious time with her husband and sons.

Please would you share this if you can. Catherine is married to Mat’s cousin, Marcus. They live in NZ, so we can’t help in person. I know I have quite a few followers from NZ, and if it’s anything like Wales, some of you may know Catherine. Thank you x

I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous

Family Guy early series dated quickly and then the later ones went down hill fast, but American Dad has stayed reasonably consistent for the best part of 20 years

“I mean, we can put a man on the moon but I can’t look up the lyrics to cotton eye joe with 8 porns running in the background”

Lines like this is why American Dad is one of my comfort shows

Whenever you see those guys use the word “politics” you need to remember the silent “the consequences of my” that precedes it.

Whenever there’s a big trend on TikTok, I can’t wait until three weeks after it dies down when everyone on Instagram will start to see it.

A reddit thread: u/ Dudes of Reddit, what is the hardest thing to explain to women? First response: quantum mechanics Someone replies Women are smarter than you are. Op says: that doesn't make quantum mechanics any easier for me to explain

I think Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is incredibly underrated. Not least for just killing off Shia LaBeouf off screen.

Podcasted too close to the sun and now I have two dumb-asses and two bullies to look after

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

Shia LaBoeuf. What a cunt. Every time I don’t think he could be more of a cunt, he’s more of a cunt. Let’s hope his kid’s less of a cunt.

I hope as Tommy Robinson flees Dubai he settles in the first safe country he arrives in

really speaks to the sad state of journalism that a reporter wouldn’t just ask this slobbering moron what one thing has to do with the other.

if you expect a quick end to the iranian regime just because its leadership was decapitated you may be disappointed. like imagine if the situation were reversed and america's supreme leader and defense secretary had been killed. that's right, go ahead, imagine it. think about it all day if you like.

Went to a corner shop in London that had been buying from the cheap cash and carry, so all weekend I’ve been singing to myself “Foreign 7up, 7up, foreign 7up na na na na na na na na na naaa”

The US isn’t the greatest country in the world. They’re not even the greatest country in America

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

This is the sort of shit that got you the president you currently have, you got the leaders you deserve, unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t deserve it.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

doing so many thought crimes rn

Got a minute in and became hyper aware that I had a bit of cheese in my back teeth. Trying to hold the attention of 400 people in the London Comedy Store.

That could have been a lot worse

Due on stage in 10 minutes and I’ve just eaten a pizza. This is sub-optimal.

I'd remake the first one. It wouldn't work but it'd be worth it just to make so many people so angry.

Acting like shit’s a distraction is obeying in advance. You’re not smarter for thinking that people can only concentrate on one thing at a time. They’re just trying to do everything everywhere all of the time to overwhelm you stop acting like it needs to be arranged into a hierarchy to address it
