A bizarre moment to be listening to Mystery Hour today, as I always do on my long runs, and to be thinking “I must say hello to @mrjamesob.bsky.social next time I see him in the hood”, and right as I’m thinking that thought, a caller brings up HIJACK. Reader, I shat myself.

The results of the 2024 Looking Glass survey conducted by @filmtvcharity.bsky.social are horrifying but sadly unsurprising. We have to get better at looking after each other.

So I'll be back around then. We'll be trying to raise a bit of money for Centrepoint, bearing in mind that there are a bunch of people who have nowhere to go this evening. gofund.me/637d21d0 ENDS FOR NOW 🎄🛏️

Getting ready for the final push on Season 2 of Hijack, with our third (and hopefully last) pre-production meeting. It takes an army.

Fair play to The Telegraph for perfecting the art of self-parody.

It’s a privilege to do what I do, but I’m always stunned by how many people think it’s a badge of honour to kill themselves in the name of make-believe.
