iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A timely reminder I could never be a politician because, as my wife never tires of telling me, my face is completely unable to hide ‘disdain’.

The other problem is he's always been a spectacularly terrible President. All the troubles he has set in motion & stored up over the last decade are coming home to roost just as he's lost interest in anything except naming things after himself. Which was all he ever really cared about anyway.

Is it like when the Express put a picture of Diana on the front page?

Thanks to my Scottish ancestry I consider myself 'British'. Suella Braverman (Mauritian/Kenyan parents, raised in UK, studied in France,) can consider herself whatever she wants, but as she's also very clearly saying non-white people cannot be English she can also absolutely fuck off.

This is brilliant news. So we all get given £5 million, yes?

Some thoughts on the cruelty of the internet below this. Thought it might be worth sharing. (Also another reason I am a big fan of BlueSky. Not always WILDLY exciting - but very rarely abusive.)

Weird how the ‘Big State’ can be responsible for all kinds of evil. Except, you know, actual evils.

Of course reparations for the slave trade is an utterly fanciful idea just so long as you ignore the fact that we paid reparations … to those who *invested* in the trade and not its victims.

I don’t want to be too controversial, but is it possible to dislike the monarchy AND Charles Spencer?

Crikey. Still waiting. The tension is unbearable. But it’s just got to be worth staying awake for democracy. ✊

Stop threatening me with a good time Daniel. Your record in this area is hardly stellar.

The blatant fiction that billionaires became billionaires by generously donating their money to other people really is one of the most jaw-dropping madnesses of the modern world. And that is up against some pretty stiff competition.

This might look pretty funny if it was happening to someone else.

Big up Johnny Marr indeed, and if you couldn’t afford a guitar, 🎸 maybe you could sponsor me running the London Marathon (Johnny does them too! 🏃‍♂️) Also for the National Autistic Society: 2027tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/alistairb...

Hello! So, as anyone who's watched any of my stand up recently will know, I've been having an absolute ball in the field of Neurodiversity. Like most comedians, I have an ADHD diagnosis (from a doctor

SO... I have stupidly decided to do it again. I am running the 2027 London Marathon for The National Autistic Society. You're going to get very tired of me banging on about it cos I need to raise at least £2.5K beforehand. Please donate here. Many of you will know it is a cause VERY close to home!

Oh come on. If you don’t like Sadiq you can do one. That is an absolute masterclass in shade throwing:

Just wondering. Do they call it a ‘Convenience fee’ cos they know they’re taking the piss?

Just narrowly avoided being scraped by three tanks in a row on the school run. Honestly, do you really need a FORD RANGER™️ to take your only child to school? Are you a Ranger? And if so, could you learn how wide it is? FFS, the planet’s dying & the car industry is intent on selling us all minibuses.

Thinking of setting up one of those House of Commons petitions thingies to demand a referendum on removing Piddington from the UK.

A brilliant post. Erudite, witty and deeply involving. An absolute page scroller. (Is that ok?)

Misread this as ‘Paddington’ and wept for how far the country had fallen since the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.

Imagine being in the ‘impossible position’ of being able to sell out pretty much any venue you like but insisting you want to play the one where the owner has said he doesn’t want your show? Try playing my Edinburgh venue this year Ed. I’ll show you an ‘impossible position’.
