he’s no longer in the portrait but he’s standing up to greg more and more! would be a fun joke to have him overthrow greg for cococ after 25 series but I have a feeling there don’t be a cococ because alex wants to laugh at us expecting one #Taskmaster

that latest episode of silo is going to stay with me for a while and that’s why weekly releases are the best

I don’t know if anyone here is watching ted lasso season 4 but I‘ve been terrified of it for months and it turns out I enjoy it so much

A coworker asked if I was free so we could meet next week and I’m suddenly scared it’s supposed to be a date, tell me it’s not. Why would it be, right? Surely I’m making things up

the problem with having seen my favourite comedians 3 days ago is that it made me love them even more and I’m already looking forward to seeing them again but it’s only been 3 days and their next date is in march 2027 and sold out in an hour so

so far this week: -my favourite comedian who also has a mental health podcast read my email and said very wise things -I attended an event related to my fav podcast (my fav comedian is part of it) -I met them at stage door and handed a letter (nothing cheesy, it’s in relation to the show)

"It didn't happen instantly. But it happened pretty damned fast. We had music in common at first, Bach and Mendelssohn. We had tobacco in common and a mutual hatred of The X-Files. Then it was coffee and wine. And then after some time it

became hiking, and birdwatching, and Perseid meteors. We like Bruce Lee flicks. We watch Law & Order and Jeopardy! and we read stacks and stacks of books. No, in fairness, it's mainly me for the books. You don't have the long-term time to spare anymore."

Oh, wow, damn, okay (from The Midnight Shift by Cheon Seon-Ran)
‘They call it the “taste of lonely blood”. There’s an astringency that can only be produced by those who are lonely and alone,’ said Violette.
Suyeon took a few breaths before speaking. 'And why can it only come from them?’
‘People who are driven to the edge of loneliness and solitude don't cry. They've forgotten how, or know their tears would only go to waste. They pass their days staring into nothing with soulless eyes. Crying when you're sad, that is, being able to cry, is a testament to the fact that your will to live still exists. People who've lost their will to live don't cry.
Because crying won't grant them release. If no tears are shed, then no moisture escapes the body. Extra moisture dilutes a person's blood, just like aged wine. And since they are creatures with an inconceivably keen sense of smell, they can discern the scent of lonely blood.’

so close to sending that coworker turned quite close friend a text to tell him “remember that time you accompanied me to a weird shop that sold flags and I bought one and you didn’t understand anything but then we were both silent on the metro because you didn’t know how to react? yeah that’s

I love when comedians dig at “boohoo you can’t joke about anything these days” comedians
It’s frequently bandied around by self-appointed 'contro-versial' comics that comedians are being censored in the UK, all whilst they deliver lines to near silence or audible winces before raising an eyebrow and saying, 'Ooooh, they don't like that!' or 'You probably can't say that these days? In the main it's a trick to disguise bad writing. For the edge-lords who are better writers (or employ better writers), if you truly are being censored, how is this all on fucking Netflix? What do you mean, you can't say anything any more? You just did!
Also, it's worth pointing out that if you offer them a few hundred grand to perform in Riyadh on the proviso that they don't criticise a regime that murders journalists (and comedians) for speaking freely, you'll find their unyielding commitment to free speech becomes a little more fluid.

It’s weird how I laugh so much during every ep of this series of Taskmaster yet I haven’t gotten attached to the cast, it’s creating really contradictory feelings in me

La dispense MGEN je pense qu'il faut effectuer un sacrifice pour qu'elle soit acceptée à ce stade (j'adore aussi le fait de ne pouvoir joindre qu'une pièce justificative alors qu'on t'en demande 2, ça aide vraiment à réaliser la démarche sans problème)

shrinking is back and I already cried several times because of the found family (I very rarely cry but I don’t have an emotional support system and basically go through everything on my own so this trope always gets me)

I need someone to explain to me why Swedish sounds the way it does (I love it), is it sounds from the bacl of the mouth/the throat? I really can’t explain it even what seems like a simple vowel sounds so different from other languages I know
