I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word!

Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Why do these people, and voters, still appear to support Trump? Because Trump got in to a position where he could do stuff for them: help them keep their positions and/or gain materially. In most cases he didn't, but never mind: hold your nose & support Trump for what he might do for you. 010 1
Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026With some serious noise-cancelling headphones, maybe. It depends on the line too e.g. the Piccadilly line trains are low and I would struggle with the jerking. 100 1
Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There's management and then there's micromanagement. I shouldn't have to plant crops one plant at a time, or tell farmer NPCs exactly what to plant and how much, for example: they're farmers, and I'm not a farmer. Just farm and let markets be markets. 000 0
Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I can understand why they don't want to schedule any votes before the election ... because anything they pass might get reversed after the election. Just relax and watch the big wave heading in your direction, folks. 000 0
Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 16/09/2026For years I heard his name and thought "I've never heard any of his stuff". Turns out that I had heard some, but it left zero impression on me.

Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Star Trek still stays with me as a model for a post-scarcity universe, a vision of how we could be if we didn't have to fight over things. It's not a perfect universe, but perfect is boring! 000 0

Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Us folks outside the USA are kinda bemused by that. Trump wants to charge $100k p.m. for access, so that must be worth at least that much, right.

Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I know some think this is regulatory overreach, but if an organisation is expected to pay for something, it rightfully has a say over that thing.

Brian Thomson @sashibashi.bsky.social · 22/04/2026So the school "strives to make Jesus known and loved" ... and that's not indoctrination? Not that we would expect a Catholic bishop to understand secularism. All schools should be secular, and parents can do religion on Sundays if they want, but kids should not be brainwashed by either of them. 0131 13
