Them: “Hi Beth, I’ll be there between 9-12 on Monday”
Me: “I’m afraid that doesn’t work for me, I’ll need an exact time”
Them: “of course, I’ll sort out the rest of the day and let you know the exact time tomorrow, apologies for the inconvenience”

This feels like a fucking super power

My car has, yet again, passed its MOT. So when I’m back from London I shall get the Air Con refilled and take it to the car wash. BETH WINS AGAIN!

Just told someone a 3 hour window for when they could be in touch wouldn’t work for me and they’d need to give me an exact time, AND THEY DID.

Holy shit I had no idea you were allowed to do this before

Not to be a broken record, but why on earth is Ed Balls there interviewing his wife's work colleagues about a scandal involving the government department she currently runs?

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad
cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life
I love you all

I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear
I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

It has a small sound board with a bunch of yee haws, and a few “you’re un-American” clips

America, let me hold your gun hand in one hand and your trucknutz in the other while I say this, with love; you need to start being a real country.

I know, I know, as an English person I see the irony, and the flaw in our plan to ship all our nutters there in the 1700s, I’m sorry.

A panel discussion on CNN, a bunch of normal looking people and a skinny guy, Syd Little-esque looking fella thin as a jockey’s whip with cancer. With a massive, fucken HUGE cowboy hat.

How big is that cunt’s hat?

had put together an all-lesbian team for one last bank heist, and we had distinct roles and handcrafted disguises and even some enemies-to-lovers subplots, but now we're all visible this week! MONTHS of planning, just down the drain...

The biggest problem I’ve found with an all-lesbian bank heist team is that everyone wants to be called Fingers

Hubris was my sin here, I made myself so sick I couldn’t face another egg for months

i'm here for a bad time, and a long time

There was me thinking the government had taken away all the giant hollow eggs until the day after Christmas, but I managed to snag a Thornton’s Continental egg at big Tesco for £3.37

This week! Tomorrow I am in Aberystwyth for the first time in over a decade tix here: aberystwythartscentre-tickets.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

And Thursday-Saturday I’m at The Comedy Store in London london.thecomedystore.co.uk

If you’re local come get some :)

The rest I’m thinking of using as a pesto to top some foccacia.

Next time I’ll blanch it and blend it with cream, mix in some finely chopped mushrooms and some protein to make a farce.

May even do some with agar agar to make basil pearls again

Had to buy loose basil leaves from the greengrocers. About 125g tied up with a rubber band. My basil plant isn’t ready for harvest at the minute, so I made some basil oil yesterday. It’s been in the fridge over night steeping, and I’m thinking of only straining about half of it to make basil mayo

My biggest weakness is probably my ankles

Yeah, but Doom is both on the advisory board, the supervisory team, he’s both the external *and* internal reviewer, and the via voce panel are made up of Doombots. His post grad work at ESU is shoddy at best and not once passed the ethics board there.

Deep cut knowledge there Mollie, Dr Doom of course never was awarded a legitimate Doctorate so he really should be Mr Doom.

Manhunter: New York - Ahead of its time YouTube video by Michael Coorlim

Finished playing Sierra's 1988 adventure game "Manhunter: New York" a fun little experiment that drops the text parser for a contextual cursor before computer mice are ubiquitous.

Channel members can check out my analysis video 2 days early:

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

Honestly, if it’s not real explain this

Fingers crossed this all leads to Ed Miliband finally becoming PM

Seeing this post this morning inspired me to make this (quorn) chicken teriyaki salad for my lunch. I made about a half litre of teriyaki sauce yesterday so I’ll be having a lot of teriyaki dishes this week

During the 1980s standup boom, I did so many jokes about O.J. Simpson murdering his wife. "Too soon!", the booing crowd complained.

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

There used to a pop song every year named "Hero" and the chorus was always "You're a hero deep inside / don't ever let your hero hide". But then 9/11 happened, and every pop song was named "Party Booty (Bootyhole Remix) feat DJ A$$crack". And if it isn't true don't correct me.
