This is truly one of the things I want most in the world. Begging, on my knees.

A crisp autumn evening with Jim selecting the music, a nice hearty stew, and some herb (catnip, of course) sounds ideal.

Ambar is one of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen.

The cultural divide on this bit between my Brit and American buddies is striking. πŸ˜‚

β€œHah! Right down the hatch, no hesitation! The absolute mad lad! Hopefully it was juice! What fun!”

β€œOH GOD NOT AGAIN! WHYYYY?!WHAT A TERRIBLE DAY TO HAVE EYES! BLERGH! I YEARN FOR THE SWEET EMBRACE OF DEATH!”

Absolutely normal way to cheer your mate up, of course.

"Ugh. They only believe in me because I showed them an irrefutable display of my omnipotence. What if I'm just tricking them and I'm really only semipotent?"

You had me at gnocchi. I'm a believer. Where do I sign up for your religion?

Maybe God is dealing with imposter syndrome and doesn't want to be believed in. It would be challenging to their self-concept.

Something about the fans having a very wide range of reactions to it, as well. Some are very "OH NO, THIS IS THE WORST THING" and others are giggling and kicking their feet in delight.

A cosmic print duffel bag packed by a mad person with terrible priorities. 

One side contains a small stack of clothes with a CYMRU hoodie on top. The rest of the bag is taken up by hardback (signed!) copies of One Minute Away by Mark Watson and Everything Will Swallow You by Tom Cox, a barely visible and well-loved paperback copy of Contacts (, a crochet project, a green keyboard, and a pair of lilac over-ear headphones. 

The books are in a tie dye tote bag, because this person has learned their lesson about traveling with signed books loose in a bag (pour one out for Chapters).

Correct packing ratios for 16 hours by train:
40% clothes
60% fun stuff that’s way too heavy

Is the machine full of a bunch of Little Alex Hornes (maybe in different outfits?) or is it just the one guy?

Ope, I wonder if he's on Cameo. Considering the number of my friends who were crushed to miss this, doncha' know I'd happily shell out the American dollarydoos if he'd do a couple of his bits for them.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social, have you seen this guy stomping around Cameo?

This is persecution against Americans, surely. What could our nation need more in this trying time than the comedic voice of famous Wisconsinite, AWK Stanmor?

Wow. What a thing to wake up to!

I'm going to choose to discuss the music and literally nothing else. Hilarious song choice. Syncing up the stream/jockeys lyric to the NMJ livestream clip was inspired.

Wouldn’t he be phenomenal!?

I imagine him as halfway between Ed Gamble and Alex himself.

My only concern is that he’d be SO clever that he’d smash all the tasks handily. If you wanna crack the top of my tier list, you need to have at least one head-in-hands breakdown. Or be Nick Mohammed.

I have befriended an early 2000's black and white laser printer. It is enormous and loud and the print quality is only passible, but it works without fail. I have killed 3 inkjets during its tenure. I have carried it with me to 6 residences. If it ever dies, I will mourn it like a family member.

WOW. I was hoping somebody would take up the challenge to help those of us less geographically inclined. Great work, much appreciated.

Truly batshit tour planning.

VERY exciting news for a hyperspecific group of people: Clash of the Comics (nee The Wrestling) will have a PPV livestream for international viewers!

Max Fosh is on the lineup and I am STOKED. He’s clever, hilarious, and slightly evil. (Taskmaster when?)
