Out today. Some new moves from the Reigns boys but continued excellence. That 'America' tune is a bit of an earworm

A bit of both, or some kind of slacker shrug that combines the two. 20 y/o "so, everything didn't go miraculously well then?" Me 'Not so much, that's not really how it works' 20y/o "Had my suspicions that was the case. Didn't kill yourself though" Me 'No. The impulse fades a bit over time'

Jennifer Jason Leigh? That's disappointing. Although I'm not sure I'd really care what she had to say about much of anything really. Same for the rest. Genocide-deniers. Bin.

This gets worse when they start behaving like they're some sort of standard that younger bands, attempting very different things, do not meet. Korn were shit. System of a Down were shit. Stop it.

Stewart Lee: Ofcom won’t touch GB News. But now it’s demanding a right of reply for jokes

The regulator has ruled against me over a mistake I made about an ex-Tufton Street campaign manager on a comedy show. The consequences seem like bad news for off-the-cuff banter

Getting all my political talking points from the comments of the pro wrestling subreddit from now on.

There have been more school shootings in the 2026-2027 school year (which started last week) than there are transgender athletes competing. This is a nothing issue pushed by nothing people while the rich continue to rob us blind.

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.
