'Sometimes right. Sometimes wrong. Always certain.'
The Rod Liddle biography suggests a certain post-1968 'type' who was just idiotically drawn to norm-breaching, moving via adolescent rebellion, punk, revolutionary socialism, and eventually ending up at racism, because by the 21st century that was the most efficient transgression still on offer
Two years since that guy at the race riot was taunting police before getting hit in the head with a brick then as he was walking away rubbing his head he took one to his dick
Michael Fassbender! Tom Crean! Pat Spillane! Jessie Buckley! Michael Healy-Rae! Danny Healy-Rae! Your boys took a hell of a beating!
There's an Alexei Sayle joke about a fellow comic advising he make himself more contemporary by replacing the various dated celebrities in old routines with modern figures, and it culminates in him bellowing "bloody Dizzie Rascal, SINKING THE BELGRANO!" And it's lodged in my head ahead of tonight.
Mallett’s Mallet est un jeu d’association de mots il ne faut ni faire de pause, ni hésiter, ni répéter un mot, ni en dire un qui ne me plaît pas. Sinon, vous recevez un coup sur la tête, comme ça BONK ou comme ça BONK. Maintenant, regardez-vous et faites BLEURGH.

"Do you think anyone is going to recognize us?" "Don't worry. We're wearing dark glasses." "You're right. We're practically invisible."
Happy 40th today to the Wham! Final. For my money, the show's intro is one of the coolest of all time. George and Andrew are at peak confidence and magnetism, and the choreography and dramatic tension just ramp up excitement. youtu.be/hSfh3l8LBQ4?...

Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.
Matthew Dow Smith@matthewdowsmith.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, UK acting people, it would be great if you just came out and said you were totally cool with transphobia instead of making us all wait for the slow trickle of casting announcements for projects with the very openly transphobic lady to know that you suck.

Goodnight, Anthony Head. I shall raise a cup of Gold Blend to you. xxx
John Blanche has died. Absolutely devastating news. I have no words right now. It will have to wait. Farewell, old friend.
Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.
RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

'You punch like Keir Starmer' is now a go-to insult.

Happy "Hitler Killed Himself in a Bunker Day" to those who celebrate.
Sarah Primate@langurlover.bsky.social · 3mo agoToday in History: April 30th 1945: Adolf Hitler killed himself as Soviet troops were advancing on his underground bunker in Berlin and the Battle of Berlin was drawing to a close. Eva Braun, whom he had married a day earlier, also died.
