I poured my heart out about Marty Supreme, Jewish identity, why the Old Testament isn’t the same book as the Torah and what it takes to survive trauma

You remember the John Mulaney bit about playing What's New Pussycat 21 times in a Jukebox, but playing Delilah once so people think it's going to be something else, and then it's just more What's New Pussycat? That's the weather today.

British weather is one thing, but there's something biblical about the year starting with darkness descending over the land for over 40 days and 40 nights.

UBI for artists is cool, but easy to sell as “you people think the world owes you a living”.
The irony is that the world *does* owe artists a living. Tech corporations just worked out how not to pay it.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Since there is a new Dracula that is apparently pursuing the "tragic lost love" backstory, I want to talk about my favorite Drac, which is Louis Jourdan in the 1977 BBC miniseries COUNT DRACULA.

My Mystery Talk went well! The literal hours of practice were worth it!
But what was it actually about?
Well, what can I talk about in detail for 20ish minutes without any notes?

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

She scandalised the art world in the 1990s with her unmade bed, partied hard in the 2000s – then a brush with death turned the artist’s life upside down. Now she’s as frank as ever

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

HMRC somehow classified me as a Share Fisherman. I called them up and they have officially agreed that I am no longer a Share Fisherman. But somehow, I have been recorded as one at some point despite never having caught a fish. Another dream gone.
