I definitely just got the PIN wrong on my phone and it let me in.

Deaf people having a time this morning.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

In case it’s too late, any advice?

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A lot of people are waiting for the tech firms to do all the work.

All phones are foldable if you’re strong enough.

Halfway through this I’d be asking, ‘Can I have more drill please?’

‘Alright for you to say’ was the last thing my friend said to me before he died.

What do they taste like?

- Mary from Mary and Joseph.

Good idea carrying that massive red thing as well. Makes it way easier to find yourself.

I bet she just looked at the camera and blew her cheeks up when he left.

I once asked gramps if he wanted a Vimto and he said ‘of course I don’t’. Hope that helps.

TIL I always thought they grew two single busses and grafted them together. Didn’t realise they grew double.

You could probably get away with saying "fuck sample" instead of "for example". Try it today and let me know the results.

Is coming up with a game show based on it considered being weird? Anyway, team mates have a board of sounds that have predictable motor effects. You’re blindfolded at the start of Takeshi‘s Castle. Off we go. Kind of like Robot Wars but also, if we’re lucky, this could end up in the Paralympics.

Hot water toilet is the real fess.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Can i see you two in my office on Monday please.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

My AirPods keep the sound centred even if I move my head left and right. It’s cool that it works, but I would prefer the music to still sound good, even when a guy in a fun hat walks past.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Oh yeah me too

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

I’ve never thought of Australia and Egypt together in the same thought before.

The narrative podcast which I made, with a cast full of brilliant talents and absolute nobodies, is over for series one. All 24 episodes are now bingeable if you're the sort of person who likes to wait and binge. I think it's one of the better things I've offered the public in my time.

Triplets are just one and a half twins.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Well get it tattooed then.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Funniest twins in the internet. Hands down.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Praying’s no good, you need science for this one.

Same, except Amiga Format.

Anyone else?

A lot of people don’t realise how small Mark Watson is in real life.

It’s a perspective joke so basically if you rely on alt text, you’re just not gonna get it. It’s ok, there will be other jokes for you.

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

then take the grain but leave the chicken

Mat Ryer @matryer.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Send a PR with your actual secrets Bryan so it’s more accurate next time.

Reading it back, is it good. Thanks again for the opportunity.

It’s how I record all my best tweets. Lovely little joke.

I got a pigeon in my office a couple of weeks ago.

Pigpen with a microphone head due to perspective. Promise. I’m not into lying to the blind.

I couldn’t resist.

I think I’d rather not know, in a way.
