Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal. 191218191

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Sometimes it is good to see a sold out show at your favourite venue by someone doing material that wouldn't be out of place at an edgy boi open mic night to make you feel better about your own stuff. 210

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I feel kind of silly having to defend my decision not to use The Tool That Encourages Kids To Kill Themselves. How it gets to continue to be used in day to day life by so many people baffles me, surely that's one thing we can agree on is bad. 160
Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Should be said I do really enjoy the show, but there's someone in the Weekend Update writers room who seems to love these jokes and it sours the rest of the episode instantly for me. 000

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026When I worked at an indie publisher we had a game with queer relationships in and simply released it in every region even if that meant the game locally getting an 18 rating. With as much gore as Wolverine has, it was going to get that rating anyway. This is poor. 041
Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This makes a lot of sense. I love the idea of variety, of music hall (I live in Leeds so I have to) Round the Horne and Morecambe and Wise breaking for fully straight musical numbers. Even Welcome to Night Vale doing the same in podcast form. It brings so much energy to the shows. 100
