Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬

He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!
The Telegraph Graham Linehan My trans critics are cowards. Yes, Ardal O'Hanlon - that includes yOu I expected more from my friend of 25 years. But he would rather condemn me than fight for the rights of women and girls I expected more from Ardal. I never thought he would intone the catechism. "I still get on great with everyone," he said in a recent interview with The Times, "though I haven't seen much of the show's creator, Graham Linehan, and am baffled as to why he got involved in the culture wars. I feel sorry for him - he's entitled to his opinions, but the way he presented them made it confrontational. When I read that, I phoned him immediately. When people betray me, I always make the mistake of phoning them straight away. My heart was thumping in my chest as I found his number and gave him a faux-polite, "Hey Ardal, how's it going?". My anger was already boiling. I knew exactly what he would say - the exact same things Bill Bailey said when I phoned him, the exact same things Amelia Bullmore said when I wrote to her. I knew, and I phoned anyway, because I can't help myself. And when he started reading from the same script as all the others, I lost my temper. At some point, Ardal said, "I just disagree with you." I would have said all this to him on the phone, but I was so angry I could not get any of it out. In fact, at one point I said, "You're on my f--ing s--t list." Ridiculous, of course, but unfortunately true. Like Father Ted at the Golden Cleric Awards, I keep a tally of every person who took the easy path and watched me twist in the wind. I can't help it. I remember them all. Tim Heidecker saying I'd gone down a "rabbit hole". David O'Doherty, who didn't have the guts to speak to me. My own brother-in-law publicly calling me insane. Adam Buxton, Jon Ronson, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee. People who knew me, people who had my phone number, people who could have asked, people who assumed the worst because doing otherwise would have exposed them to the same treatment I was receiving. In condemning me, to use Douglas Murray's line, they raise a little flag outside their home so the mob will pass them by. And every time one of them hands a journalist another little quote - another "baffled," another "sorry," another "he's awful, but I hope he's okay" - they get to carry on with their lives while mine gets smaller. None of them

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

This woman's parents knew exactly what they were doing and should be roundly applauded.
The image is a screen capture from a BBC video. The main subject is a woman, Carlin George, identified as a Vet clinic manager, who is smiling broadly and appears to be laughing. She is positioned in front of what appears to be a medical or veterinary clinic setting. The background includes a white storage cabinet with open shelves. Items on the shelves are partially visible, including a pink box with cartoon characters, a clear glass bowl, and a red biohazard container. The wall behind her is a light blue color. To the right of the woman, there is a blue door with a handle. The woman is wearing a dark, possibly black, jacket over a blue patterned shirt. The pattern on the shirt appears to depict holiday-themed images like snowmen and reindeer. The video has a play button in the center and a timeline at the bottom, indicating that the video is in progress. The current time is displayed as 00:36, and the total duration is shown as 00:52. There are forward/backward 10-second skip buttons present on the screen. Other video control icons, such as volume and settings, are visible at the top. The video's title "Watch: Ozzy the dog sets Guinness World record for longest canine tongue" is also displayed. The overall composition is a medium shot, focusing primarily on the woman's face and upper body. The lighting appears to be bright, and the color palette is generally cool, with a mix of blues, whites, and the woman's skin tone.

This post was in no way inspired by UK politics.
The image captures a scene from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. The primary focus is on two men seated at a table. The man on the left is an older gentleman with white hair and glasses, dressed in a light-colored shirt and a bow tie. He is looking off to the side, seemingly engaged in a conversation. His facial expression is somewhat serious or contemplative. The man on the right is younger and appears to be heavier-set. He is wearing a white button-down shirt and a tie. He is resting his head on his hand, suggesting a state of weariness, boredom, or perhaps contemplation. His posture and expression contrast with the man on the left. The background is somewhat blurred, but it seems to be a restaurant. A window is visible in the background, as well as a figure further away, adding depth to the scene. The color palette is muted, with predominantly light tones and a sense of subdued lighting. The composition places the two men as the central subjects, with the text "HE'S THE REFORM CANDIDATE, DADDY" overlaid at the bottom.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou? (2000)
A still from Oh Brother Where Art Though? The image captures a scene from a political campaign event in a small town, likely during the early to mid-20th century. The main subject is a bald man with round glasses, dressed in a white button-down shirt, suspenders, and light-colored pants. He has a brown and white striped tie and is holding a broom in his right hand, with his left hand raised in a gesture of speaking or greeting. He seems to be the central figure, possibly a candidate. Behind him, two posters with the face of a man are visible, labeled "Governor" and bearing the name "Homer Stokes." A vintage microphone stands next to the speaker. Several other people are present, including a man in a plaid shirt and hat, a woman with a flower in her hair, and more people in the background, suggesting an audience. They are sitting on what looks like a raised platform or stage. The scene is set outdoors, with trees and buildings in the background. The colors are muted, with a warm, slightly sepia tone, suggesting an older film or photograph. The overall composition gives a sense of a historical event, with the speaker as the focal point. The image presents a medium shot of the man from the first image wearing the red hood and cape of the Ku Klux Klan. The background is dark, and bright flames are visible on both sides of the man. The flames are predominantly yellow and orange, with some white areas, suggesting a source of intense heat. The contrast between the bright flames and the dark background enhances the visual impact of the image. The composition places the man centrally, with the flames framing him on either side. The lighting is focused on the man's face and the flames, creating a strong contrast and highlighting the subject. The overall color palette is dominated by red, orange, yellow, and black, contributing to the dramatic and potentially unsettling atmosphere of the scene. The lighting suggests a night scene or a scene in a darkened environment.
