It’s been a while since I had a proper Brexit rant. Then GB News’s US Political Editor declared Britain “is not a European country”, completely rewriting reality, and my restraint promptly left the fucking building. How many excuses do Brexit’s champions get before they answer for the mess?

What happens when reality refuses to cooperate? Simple - you just rewrite it wholesale.

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and he went on to became an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

At what point does ‘the masked men on the street have legitimate concerns’ and ‘Just Stop Oil/Palestine Action are terrorists’ become two tier policing?

This is very much my magnum opus, represents days and days of traumatic work, includes clips which, I promise, you're not aware of, and one astounding moment of actual far right fake news being created - live! So, what I'm saying is, you better listen, share, and shower me with furs and jewellery.

A ship full of solar panels only has to make the trip once. It arrives, gets installed, and generates electricity for the next 20 years. A ship full of liquefied natural gas? It has to make the trip EVERY YEAR to generate the same amount of electricity over those 20 years. The choice is clear.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Today’s poem is called ‘Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis’.

Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis

He’s swapped designer jeans and flashy cars
For designer spacesuits and trips to Mars
Where he watches Earth turn on its axis
With its stupid people paying taxes
He’s indulging all his whims and vices
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis

He’s got plans to end world poverty
Once his new hair’s lost its novelty
He’s dropping rap tracks and dissing pronouns
His kids have names they cannot pronounce
He’s choosing who his next young wife is
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis

He’s an outspoken champion of free speech
With a mute button in easy reach
He’s building an army of online abusers
More spambots equals more X-users
Cause he’s been left too long to his own devices
If truth be told, he’s not the nicest
I hope he comes down with gastroenteritis
He’s a billionaire in a midlife crisis

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
