There are few parts of any Christmas song better than that bit at the end of ‘A Spaceman Came Travelling’ where Chris de Burgh loses it and starts going off like an apocalypse cult preacher.

Can’t wait for the Ryan Murphy miniseries about this.

If the appalling state of BBC News's coverage of trans issues is the result "effective censorship" (read: trans and ally voices in LGBTQ+ news team taking a stance against hate), then you have the shudder at how much horrifically worse it could have been and might now become without those people.

It’s #NationalPoetryWritingMonth, y’all. So, as is tradition, I’ll be punishing myself by writing a poem for each day of April! Kicking off with Day 01: ‘If April is the cruellest month, then what are the rest?’

I mean...y'all have a senate chamber, y'all have a dictator, it's just...it's just so obvious this year it's not even worth doing a joke about...

The more time goes on, the more I can’t stand the whole “ultra-processed food” thing. To me it just feels like a meaningless buzzword phrase, rooted in pseudoscience and classism.

I instantly and vividly heard the words “rich creamery butter”.

do you think Chansey and Kirby would be friends

Come on Biden if you gonna start being “fuck it, we ball” about stuff then go whole hog with it. Don’t just pardon your son. Cancel student debt, have a some people killed, start a few fires, the world’s your oyster here Queen.

Honestly I think the greatest achievement of the Biden Administration has been that saying “the President’s dog who won’t stop biting people” requires the follow up question “which one?”.

We really lost something when fictional 'Cool Guys' stopped being called things like "Breakfast Jones" and "Automatic Mike".

So was Zendaya cast first and had Tom included as part of her rider?

“Keir Starmer”? Uh yeah, I sure hope it does…

What I imagine it must be like to be American right now…

Too many Shakespeare plays have plots that rely on certain characters having very poor eyesight.

I’m God. You’re God. We’re all God is what I’m saying. The thrum
of the Divine and Creation beats in all of us, so live in the universe knowing it was made for you and you were made for it.

Kinda hate it for me that I’m at a point in my life where I was able to sincerely say at the pub last night “I’m currently getting ghosted by a girl who works in a cemetery. She hasn’t replied to my text about Proust.”

There’s a strange delight in sending vaguely unhinged work emails.

So this is what it’s like to be one of the beautiful elite…
