I probably laughed too long and hard at this.

PUT IT BACK. PEBBLE IS NOT FRIEND.

Urghhhhhhhh *shudder*

Oh gosh. How terrible. Love to you all.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I listened to this this morning. Excellent. I expect him to join reform before the end of this month. Possibly next week.

It seems like the actual skill set of these genius political fixer types, like Mandelson, McSweeney, Cummings etc is that they're sociopaths with powerful mates which imo aren't actually skills.

Also I don't think Harriet was rude but then I am also a woman of a certain age and over everyone's bullshit.

Cannot move past Matthews brown arran. Is it fashion genius and I am out of step or is it as truly horrific as I believe? #traitorsuk

No idea where she is going to go.

Not interested in anyone else's round table views. Only Harriet. #traitorsuk

It's the only one I think I recognise so far this year.

I'm convinced Michael Palin is Yak #maskedsingeruk

If they don't release one version on iPlayer they've missed a trick. I'd prefer the Sim one, but I'll take the TV adaptation

We've all seen An Inspector Calls, yes? #thearchers

I've gone back to print. I've taken a print sub to The New World and I'm really enjoying it. I split between reading articles online and in the magazine.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Binged Murderbot on AppleTV+ last night. I could not believe how good an adaptation it was. Will obviously be rereading the novellas immediately.

And Sanctuary Moon 😘. The casting! The contrast in mood and tone!

Trans People Deserve Better "Gender critical" feminism doesn't help women but it does help the far right

This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

Ah. Thanks but no, change.org. I'm not going to sign a petition to legalise pepper spray in the UK..

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

Ok. I'm Invested in The Chutney Murders. #celebritytraitors

still? Gah.

I'm not sure if he was there for the game, but I'm convinced he's in that costume for the murder.

Chess board top, Ed. That was you on the board, then? #celebritytraitors

Oh Mark you've let me down, but you were under a lot of stress.

I need a reel of everyone saying Alan. Don't make me have to make it #celebritytraitors

I love how everyone says Alan the same way, then mentions that Paloma is going to get him #celebritytraitors

I have been driven to write. Pokémon go events absolutely do not work like a lottery! Although the tasks often take a tediously long time to achieve a result that is essentially meaningless.
