Another No More Jockeys Drawtober comic. In this one, our unsung hero, editor Haiminh, makes sure all the details are in it, despite the layers of nonsense the ATLs have to wade through to get there.

A 'comic book' page done in black linework and Ben-Day dots with yellow accents. It portrays a moment from It portrays a moment from No More Jockeys set 4, game 7, at about the 10-minute mark, in which Horne is confused by Key's letter randomization and statistical probability model of drawing letters from a hat, although Key has suggested a pot for the letters, and Horne insists the pot stays in the hypothetical. In the end, after much squabbling over the details, a very long stipulation is agreed upon, and poor editor Haiminh is asked to make sure all of the details appear on screen at the end of Key's turn.

Mental status: one song on repeat, but instead of using 🔂, you hit play again manually after a bit of silence, so you have exact control of the spacing of the seratonin hits from the ending and intro chords. Is this anything?

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

A lot of writers, readers, booksellers, etc. on the website are talking about how book bans have a disproportionate impact on living BIPOC/queer/trans authors, and it's true. But a lot of people don't know where to find those books. That's why, this year, I'm going to make a thread for you!

My feed has been utterly flooded with "bizarre things that happened in your assembly" posts today. If any other Anglophiles need to be humbled, I suggest reading through a bunch and seeing how long it takes before you wonder if you're starting to smell burnt (beans on) toast.

Dear @taskmaster.tv and @gregdaviescomedian.bsky.social , I would like to request reparations in the form of Greg posting a video wearing the hat, since the poll results were not honoured. Thank you. (I am very sure this will get results.)

Poll from the GOSH Taskmaster Charity Livestream, showing Greg absolutely kicking arse at the "Which contestant should wear the propeller hat for the next 45 mins?" poll. He has 6.1k GBP, the next highest contestant has 305 GBP.

I'm in this and it's funny. Give it a listen. But you'd probably want to start at the beginning, or it won't make any sense. Although sometimes I start things at the beginning and I STILL don't know what's going on.

Meet Dolly and Frank (N Furter), my new crow friends. Dolly is large and loud and hard to photograph, but makes a horrible ruckus when the peanuts need refilling. Today, she brought Frank along to show him who provides the good snacks.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I feel very strongly that the best books should make you slightly crazy while you're reading them, like you're tasting a new colour, & you should be left shamefaced & unable to convey your experience to others, like a man abducted by burning angels, going to work on Monday morning

You ever spend years curating your feeds to show you Special Interest, but then when the Special Interest is Special Interesting, you get slapped with severe Special Interest FOMO but now you’ve got nothing to distract yourself from Special Interest? …no? Yeah, you’re right, that would be crazy…

Immune system obliteration day once again, always a good time to catch up on my reading. This one’s been sitting on my shelf for ages- my last unsigned hardback novel, no more!

A hardback copy of Bullet Points by Mark Watson, yellowed with age, held open to show the author’s signature. It is being read in a hospital by a person with an IV in their arm.

Today is August 4th, 2026. 76 years ago, Ray Bradbury wrote There Will Come Soft Rains, a short story set in our present day which contemplates the fate of a fully automated house that has lost its owners. Today, it barely feels like science fiction. Would you allow me to read it to you?

Genuinely one of my all-time favourite @watsoncomedian.bsky.social shows tonight. Absolutely unhinged conversion humour. Wine that Watto did want and champagne that someone else didn’t. A light heckle. Football! You heard it here first: Hamilton is the next epicentre of cutting-edge comedy.

Two glasses of white wine and a plate of poutine at Levity comedy club in Hamilton. Mark Watson is also there. He is on stage in the background, extending his own glass of wine toward the audience.

Mark Watson on stage at the Comedy Bar Danforth in front of a velvet curtain. The lighting is like Calum: bisexual. Mark is smiling, holding a glass of wine in one hand and the microphone in the other. He’s got a very snazzy haircut and is wearing a surprisingly well-fitted outfit.
