Goodnight.

I’ve just remembered the funniest piece of serendipity ever: when at university we borrowed a camcorder and called for a friend, and made as if it were a film noir moccumentary (talking like Edward G Robinson etc).

Evening.

Perhaps the unlikeliest of comedy sketches to crop up in 2026, but also one of the funniest:

Oh!

I’m only watching the football to catch the new BBC advert. 🤞

Happy Last Day of the Heatwave, everybody.

Does Andy Burnham like football? It’s hard to tell

Look at that, you let Mick Jagger down. I hope you're happy.

Awful man unless of course it later turns out he was murdered in which case he was a delight.

People were complaining (mainly on facebook tbh) that binface.space wasn't working very well on mobile so hopefully I have fixed it… Is this better mobile users?

Binface vs Farage

You are Count Binface. Try and get more votes than Farage on the streets of Clacton…

My hot Wimbledon take: no one is playing brilliantly yet. Some excellent matches because top seeds are playing erratically against lesser- often younger- players, meaning better-than-you’d-think fights but chiefly due to inconsistency.

THIS DOESN’T AUGER WELL.

This is oh so good.

“I’ve read several of Harrison’s novels: not once have I fully understood what was happening, but I keep rushing back for more.” Me on M John Harrison’s The End of Everything, a book that speaks to our time of repeated crises, when disaster follows disaster until something seems permanently broken.

I hope we're going to see many charges for incitement to racial hatred, incitement to violence and incitement to riot, all of which have been happening blatantly and prolifically on social media. Or will two-tier policing in the UK, favouring the right and the far right, prevail yet again?
