Am slightly disappointed there is no Boaty McBoatface?

And this is Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence, which, in my opinion, is easily the greatest Scottish poem ever written about Batman...

The statue of Lemmy in Burslam is quite brilliant.

This is fascinating. Not that Brewdog is in the shit financially, but that the agreement they signed with their VC investor is legal. It essentially wipes out the value of all other shares in the company.

Am confused. Are the nights fair drawing in yet or do I have to wait until tomorrow to say that?

I see Enid Blyton is engaging with much more adult themes nowadays.

Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender
Nation Could Have Sworn Russell Brand Was Already Convicted Sex Offender
NEW YORK—Stressing that the memory seemed so fresh and vivid in their minds, the confused nation announced Monday that they could have sworn British entertainer Russell Brand was already a convicted sex offender. “Interesting...so Russell Brand definitely wasn’t already found guilty of sexual assault back in, like...2016, 2017?” said 39-year-old New York resident Scott Hasard, echoing the thoughts of 330 million Americans as he noted that when he saw allegations emerge about the actor, comedian, and podcast host, he had assumed it was simply repackaged content from nearly a decade ago. “You’re telling me there wasn’t a lengthy and well-publicized trial where Brand was acquitted, but then new allegations emerged? And, like, social media posts where the women got called liars? None of that happened? Huh. I even feel like I read a think-piece about how we could still appreciate Forgetting Sarah Marshall despite his crimes. It’s probably insane to even ask this, but didn’t he release a comeback special back in 2020 about how everyone tried to cancel him for the sexual assault stuff? Seriously? Not even that?” At press time, the baffled nation asked what had made Brand into such an unhinged and deeply frustrated person if all of this hadn’t kicked it off years ago.

I remember when this and MSN Messenger were the most incredible thing. Messaging people instantly felt like living in the future.

They were both satire when written. Not so sure anymore. Politics has become more ridiculous than fiction.
Hi gang. My films ‘In The Loop’ and ‘The Death of Stalin’ are on #BBCFour this evening, at 9pm and 10.40pm. Do enjoy if you’re a fan of repeated threat.
