Things I didn’t expect to see watching the England game: the Czech ground has sponsorship from @crunchyroll.com - I’m tempted to say that football and anime don’t have much in common, but then again I do go to @sunnyconanimeexpo.com every year, which is held at Newcastle United’s ground.

@andrewoneillcomedy.bsky.social Hi there. Sorry if I messed things up for you and others last night. Good news is I didn’t break or dislocated anything, but I did tear a muscle in my shoulder, hence the sling. Hope your Fringe goes well.

Spotted this in the trending topics just now. They’ve only just opened the polls, no-one knows who’s won at Clacton! Binface can win. Binface should win.

“The spending limit for candidates during the regulated period at a UK Parliamentary by-election is £180,050.” With things like this on local news websites and Reform sending people to Clacton, I wonder how much Farage has spent in this by-election? #CountBinface #VoteCountBinface

May I ask what you’re expect to see at a Torquay Comic Con? The Death Star perhaps? The USS Enterprise? Heards of sandworms burrowing majestically? I expect to see the Sea Devils. You can see the Sea Devils, they’re over there between the Ice Warriors and the Ood.

Conspiracy theory: everyone who paid their deposit to stand in the Clacton by-election is an American Satanist. Don't be fooled that one of the candidates is standing for the "Everyone Is God" party, they are all in league with the Devil!

I’m sick of all AI art being made to support Count Binface, no matter how well intentioned. So I’ve made this stick figure instead. It’s cheaper, gets the message across, is less environmentally damaging and has more artistic merit.

Just finished reading 'Sex and Other Changes' by David Nobbs (of 'Reginald Perrin' fame) - a comic novel about a husband and wife who both want to transition, written back in 2004. I did worry if it aged badly, but it's funny, moving & sympathetic. Would like to know if trans people today like it.

Just started reading ‘Sex and Other Matters’ by David Nobbs (of ‘Reginald Perrin’ fame). Written in 2004, it’s a comic novel about a married couple where both husband & wife want to have a sex change. Interesting to see how this novel feels now given the rise of trans rights and attacks on it since.

Hang on, the Daily Mail is writing stories ATTACKING fascism? Having said that, I suspect it’s because it’s the wrong kind of fascism, and they only want Farage’s type.

Taskmaster fans might be interested to know that yesterday's episode is not the first time people have jousted with mops. The 1971 BS Johnson novel 'House Mother Normal' also featured it, as seen on this cover, but with dirty mops and being played by abused elderly people in a care home.

Just listened to the album ‘9’ by Satanic metal band Mercyful Fate - turns out 9 is a Satanic number, repeatedly used in Anton LaVey’s Satanic Bible, plus 666 is divisible by 9, and then you have 9 circles in Hell. Feels like the beginnings of a plot for an Inside No. 9 episode that never got made.

To get an idea on what this "free-speech charter" is, this quote in the Chortle story from Glee venue owner Mark Tughan expressing support for transphobe Graham Linehan sums it all up.

Tughan also spoke in support of Father Ted creator Graham Linehan, whose anti-trans views have made him a pariah in comedy. The venue owner said: "The man has been vindicated a thousand times over. It’s a source of regret, to me at least, that some of his peers in our industry still can’t seem to find the strength to acknowledge any regret for the way he was treated.’
