Trump Snapewives. Astarion Snapewives. It's a world of Snapewives now. I need to pick something to Snapemarry and go insane about

I had such a nice swim last night, in the rain. A huge fish kept coming to the surface every time I passed a particular point on the circuit. There was a swan and its two big cygnets (bygnets). A little mist rose in the corners after the rain.

Wow that is big

It's pretty clear that people can basically remember one thing about public figures, so if that thing is positive or innocuous, you turn out to be as awful as you like and no one will notice.

Monty Python and Fawlty Towers really is a ring of steel for John Cleese these days isn't it? He's literally a disgusting, hate-spreading bigot but he can still go on The One Show to plug a tour.

Christ, this guy has it so worked out

I have a week off on a Greek Island in +/- three weeks and it's killing me

"But what if C3PO made up a thought experiment that was just a fictional magic thing that proved him right? What then, hmmmm?"

Important

The Great Impotence Myth? Scientists seek to determine whether erectile dysfunction is real or a social construct, and speculate that the older generation may be turning to pills simply because they're too lazy to google big jiggly butts any more. Channel 4 asks: how hard can it be?

Oh, what a class act

These posts by Robin Ince about how he was bullied off his own show are brutal reading. But they're also instructive and necessary. I've always admired Robin Ince as a comedian who's relentlessly *interested* in stuff. I also admire him as a man principle.

Thank you to those who sent messages about these posts - it feels like we are confronting a point where if we do not actively reject the aggressive and regressive voices in this country then our destiny is damned www.patreon.com/RobinInce/po... www.patreon.com/RobinInce/po...

Kind of frustrating to see people take this immensely seriously, like Disney is setting actual homework for its films. The Disney+ marketing department is using the upcoming film to push their platform.

The uncanny sense that this is actually no weather at all. A grey waiting room while the real weather checks its makeup and makes sure its flies are done up

Sometimes it's really nice to get excited about a videogame, and I'm pleased and proud to announce I am pregnant with anticipation for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

I think it's basically clear now that A Fan is not a good thing to be. By all means like stuff. Get deeply into it. Write stories in it. But Fandom has no positive connotations for me any more. It's about obsession, ownership and wilfully amputating your own sense of proportion and reality.

Spending my own delightful Sunday afternoon nourishing my soul by putting stuff on my Steam Deck and then farting about with it to make it work and then never touching it again

I've gone to the theatre for an innocent night of new writing and emerged to find everyone partying like it's the end of the world

I've eaten a large lasagne and come to the theatre. For, potentially, a nice relaxing sleep

Feeding my neighbours' cat for a couple of weeks. She's pretty standoffish but I think I can tempt her out of her shell

The VC of Greater Manchester uni embezzled £1 million. Did you see *a single story about that*?

The omerta of journalism puts the Corleones to shame. Someone I really like and respect in entertainment sent out a newsletter this morning giving it the "well, we were all reading the stories". No. I was not reading The Telegraph's obsessive re-reporting of every detail.

It wasn't the world's punchiest emergency alert was it?

Right, shot all my family and barricaded myself in the bunker with all the food, anyone else make it?

I'm not really bothered about Woke 1. I'm waiting for Woke 2 so we don't have to be woke in Latin

I don't believe in vigilante justice but I think the way this guy conducts himself should get him beaten to a pulp

I hate, hate these pervert glasses. Listen to this guy interrupting the filming of Cunk on Cinema. What an entitled dick.

Had a really nice time watching the eclipse yesterday with my neighbours. Shared a proper sense of the moment with my friend Sam (who is 10)

This eclipse has been going on a while now, right lads? ...lads?
