At a craft fair where someone is selling pillows that read "Autism Powered Fucking Machine" which I didn't realise was an option. I've just been using my autism to power more autism. I could've been doing so much power fucking.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

Anyway Nish continues to be one of the best comics working at the minute and between him tonight and Gledders on Tuesday I'd say we've more than made up for edgy boi at the start of the week.

I seem to have a different opinion to most people about what constitutes a "bad" episode. Even Teso Dos Bichos I thought was fine.

Genuinely something that has stopped me hanging out in trans spaces is the number of women who'd say it to me with a smug look on their faces and it's just gross.

This unfortunately does include 3, the worst episode. (So far, I'm up to half way through season 4)

I don't want to suggest anything about Nish Kumar's audience but I am not the only one here with rainbow hair.

Sending love. I feel similarly about my autism diagnosis. I remember very little of my teenage years beyond an overwhelming sense of loneliness and sadness. How would things have been different if I'd known? Would I be still torturing myself over my inability to be "normal"?

Believe deeply in restorative justice, but that that is also for the victim and not me to have input on, whilst also wanting to put distance between me and his work. It's a whole mess of things. And I think feeling complexly is okay and not something to try nail down after < 48 hours.

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I had this with one of my favourite artists, Christian Schloe, whose work is weird and surreal and when I googled him last year all the results were for AI generators in his style. Actually googled him again yesterday wanting to buy a print and he seems to completely have taken down his web presence

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No, agreed. The systems are the problem, not the people. And all the systems are poor at restorative justice of any kind.

You'd think I could choose one industry to be invested in that isn't like this but alas, society.

Love comparing the difference in comedy stand up show titles. New acts at the Fringe called their shows 'Mr Butterscotch Erupted In My Mouth & Other Toffee Incidents' meanwhile legacy guys going on UK tours call theirs stuff like 'It's Me Again' and 'More Stand Up From Me'

Are you a cis man feeling disgusted at the news? Good. Use that. Talk to your fellow men about what you're going to do to make our industry and our world safer. And then actually do it. You may lose friends or opportunities, but a better and safer industry and world starts with you.

I exist in the circles of games and comedy, people you admire turning out to be awful is not new to me. Mourn what they meant to you, don't blame yourself for not knowing, but honour their victims and move forward making things safer where you can.

Now that we're making box skirts instead of circle skirts, I can work on skirt designs that would have been really difficult to make work on a circle, like this forest glade design! #art #original

Mock-up of a Maya Kern Pocket Dimension skirt featuring a moody, glowing forest scene in shades of olive green and black. Tall silhouetted trees surround a softly lit forest floor dotted with tiny glowing lights. The image shows a model wearing the skirt alongside front and back views of the design. A note states that the mock-up may differ from the final product.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social has just posted a clip of his latest special with a piano on stage. That was my piano and it's the closest I'm probably likely to come to performing at the City Varieties so I'll take it.

Definitely feeling the weight of discouragement lately.

I watched It's A Wonderful Life for the first time last year and I don't think I'll watch it again any time soon because I will start throwing knives every time Mr Potter is on screen, but I think a lot about the "Is he sick?" "No, worse. He's discouraged." exchange.

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Disappointed and sad. Now to stubbornly keep trying to make this a better, safer place.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. 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.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Do you think the acts who put "Not for the easily offended!" on their posters realise they're providing a trigger warning.

ALSO I bumped into my therapist at the gig and panicked and went "AM I ALLOWED TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU?" and that was somehow not the worst part of the night.

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I will say, if you are going to try do a joke about Nish Kumar, you do have to try be at least as funny as him. Otherwise you just look silly.

Sometimes 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.

Genuinely one of my favourite things about doing comedy. I have so many brilliant friends and I adore watching them get the amazing opportunities and successes they deserve.

Also, it feels really insulting every time someone sends me a message with the prompt reply left in. You couldn't even be bothered reading the words you're sending me and you still expect me to read them, how little do you think of me.

I 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.

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Should 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.

I also don't get the editing this season. Why is the last segment always so tiny. Like ad break, then return for three minutes. #SNLUK

I do think it's a choice to do a story about the centre of the sexual assault in the film industry and end it by going "haha rape is funny". #SNLUK

Got advertised a hoop dance workshop which seems really fun, I've been looking at trying to find a way to get into exercising again. It does frustrate me about this world that I've had to send a message to double check it's open to all genders first though.

Jonathan Lloyd @mxjlloyd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Side note: impressive just how hard they're having to push Potter stuff to try distance any association with its creator. They really are worried about this flopping, aren't they.
