So I’m only on the second episode of the new #MAFS Australia and as always this motherfucker does not disappoint. It is full of platinum level blow-holes and pancakes already. I need a Lucinda this season though … I see nobody stepping up

The BBC means ‘sulphur’ which is vital for loads of stuff beyond ‘global tech’ - not least fertiliser without which millions and millions of us would starve to death. But they think we’re stupid so ‘niche yellow powder’ it is…

Why? The Nazi-saluting ketamine freak tried to stir up civil war in Britain. He lies about the country constantly. Why is Musk being rewarded instead of punished to the full extent of UK government powers? It's another example of the putrid grovelling spinelessness of centrists everywhere

‘And the Oscar for barbarian of the year goes to…Shallow Timothy!’

Timothée Chalamet has attacked and belittled ballet and opera. How can anyone in the arts behave like this? He’s a symbol of the collapse of culture in the 21st century; a metaphor for a post-art age.

Why do people give a fuck who is on a banknote? You could put Kermit on a fiver and I wouldn’t care as long as I can spend it on the shit I need to survive.

Actually Kermit would be quite cool but that’s beside the point

Remember the woman who chucked a cat in a wheelie bin and everyone wanted to lynch her? We should put her on the new banknotes

The BBC doing its bit here to stigmatise mental health issues and play to the Tory/Reform ‘over-diagnosis’ line

The real facts in the story are that more than a fifth of all GPs have refused a sick note. Not that you’d know that from the breathless and misleading Culture War headline
