Met my partner, got a book contract, found an audience, built a career, made countless friends, been endlessly delighted and educated by people smarter than myself. I'm not sure it makes up for the corrosion of democracy exactly, but I've personally had a pretty good time.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

Amazed it took 40 years to reach this conclusion. It was obvious in the 80s, if you bothered to look. Thatcher used the working-classes' own money to bribe them into voting to destroy their futures, and the Tories have been worshipping her for it ever since. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I've been a v.good boy this week. Not stressed, not drinking, getting eight hours sleep a night - and I still have bags under my eyes. This should be depressing, but I find it liberating. Turns out it's not my fault. It's some hereditary/aging shit. Nothing to be done. I can get fucked with abandon.

fair to say Kemi Badenoch’s last interview on BBC wasn’t a storming success
CM: Help our viewers then understand who you are as a Conservative. You referred to previous Conservative leaders.
Your shadow chancellor yesterday, Mel Stride,
eviscerated Liz Truss and his argument being that she trashed your party's reputation for economic competence.
Why not-... throw her out the party? We saw Keir Starmer throw Jeremy Corbyn out the party as a badge of saying the party has changed. Why not do the same for Liz Truss?
KB: Is she still in the party?
CM: Well, you tell me.
KB: Well you tell me. You're the one asking the question.
CM: You're the party leader.

Money spent on Rowling's work is money donated to transphobia. I don't want to single out individual actors but I consider the HBO Harry Potter series a moral disaster. You literally cannot separate the art from the artist on an economic level.

2 years ago today, my gender clinic approved me for bottom surgery. They didn’t send my referral for a year. The referrals service refused to backdate it until my MP intervened. Going by other people’s wait times, I’ve got 3 more years to go before I have surgery. But trans healthcare is rushed.
