Ok. I'm in. I'm pre-ordering this. amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI…

I could write a list of 100 things to critique our monarchy but a 40 something bloke going "yeah maybe I'll try a beard for a bit" wouldn't be in it. Our media is insane.

Moderating @anon_opin and I was amused by this 1-2-3-4

I was going to link to a video I was enjoying on YouTube but they ruined it by adding an AI song at the end. So you're not going to get those 100 extra views from me, no sir.

I don't know why this one is particularly has blown up - it reads pretty so what to me but people are raging. @fesshole is even getting DMs from people thinking they're talking to Tom.

I'll tell you what I'm suspicious of: singers who haven't ever learnt to play a bit. I mean, you don't have to be virtuoso, but if you have that basic interest in music and creating music, how can you have never worked out how to plonk/strum a few chords?

Spare me from American feature articles that just don't get to the point immediately. Did they all learn to write from "what I did in my holidays" essays?

Just retweeting praise but do listen to the @fesshole panel show episode. Everyone should have a go at making a DIY panel show, a far better use of your time than smashing up a Greggs. Seriously, that's what's wrong with people, not enough mucking around audioboom.com/posts/8549785-…

Well you can now find the high-rated rather than only blue-rick replies again. I wonder if the millions who've left this site in the last few days have made them panic a bit - as this is deffo some minor roll back of one the most terrible ideas the bad boss introduced

Wordle never really scratched an itch for me - yeah it's fine but as soon as I'd worked out a strategy to play it in a few goes I was bored of it. Spelling Bee, however, it's like fucking crack. nytimes.com/puzzles/spelling…

Hooray for the silent majority whose every waking thought isn't racism and just wants to get on with their lives and leave others to so the same.

Just looked in my notes folder and apparently I'd used it to write an excellent poem at some point

In some pre launch hype I'm genuinely excited about the next @fesshole podcast episode going out. I wrote it as a panel show and then got my friends @divstivs and @sam_bambs to play it and it's a fun listen. So DO listen - out tomorrow morning but SUB NOW. audioboom.com/channels/51333…

Cordelia was an abolsute fucking pillock at the start of King Lear right? Just tell your dad a white lie, serving the absolute truth at all times is clearly harmful.
