Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Someone should charge the phrase “living rent free in-“ some rent, so it can afford to live in fewer sentences.

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social hey Cerys. Re White Cain day: Are you aware of the brilliant CBEEBIES/RTÉ animation Maddie & Triggs which is made for partially sighted and audio impaired children. Both can “watch” it and have the same experience because of the visual and sound design.

For me running isn’t about the beating Adam Woodiat off of EastEnders, it’s about the taking part. But I did beat Adam Woodiat off of EastEnders.

Comedy Club 4 Kids shows are always diverse, always kind, and always pay immediately which has genuinely saved my financial bacon more times than I care to remember over the last 15-20 years…

The other wasn’t shy, but now has 10 years experience performing comedy on stage, and is hitting the adult comedy circuit at the age of 17 with more comedy chops than most of the other acts who are twice and three times her age…

…They’ve also taught both my children how to speak in public. One of my kids was very shy, and now he isn’t…

CC4K have since booked me for hundreds of shows, actively promoted my shows for free, paid my mortgage some months when no one else was, and given me about half of my very best friends on live comedy…

Budapest Pride goes ahead, defying Orban threat of 'legal consequences' Tens of thousands have gathered for the LGBTQ march in Hungary's capital, despite a police ban and warning from PM Viktor Orban.

I don’t think the old Onion, when it followed the herd and didn’t charge for its work, meekly becoming another digital ad space, would have done this. They’ve got their balls back. Nice.

For a thing. What’s the most popular, pointless, stupid and funny use of A.I. You’ve heard of?

More of this tone please 😏
