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

suite tv was also created recently (so I don’t know how sustainable it will be in the long run) and has basically the same features and I hesitated with it as well

I personally opted for bingers which was created by the original creator of tv time because I was able to import everything including my comments and following/followers. I know many people like serializd which has existed for years so probably the most reliable option

yes the last episode is next week! were you using tv time by any chance? I’m still grieving but I have been able to import all my data into a new app if you’re interested!

anyway the next episode is called troy and we know one character is named helen so maybe I’m stupid because there are plenty of different references related to troy that don’t have to pertain to someone named helen but you know that’s a possibility

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

If you’re wondering what he said he said “just because you’re wired differently it doesn’t mean you’re wired wrongly” and I know it but hearing it from the ace community is one thing, hearing it from someone whom I assume doesn’t know much about it is very different and healing

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)

my favourite comedian read my email about anxiety and (a)sexuality in his podcast, nothing can affect me negatively today

this is a personal attack 🧍🏼‍♀️
"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.’

I decided to stop because it felt like I was struggling and not grasping the entire story but it turns out I just read a complicated book that even native speakers struggle with (and understood it quite well in the end but it took me a very long time). but I believe it was a needed break

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

Other shows have left a huge mark in me or helped me at really hard times (The X Files, Ted Lasso, The Newsreader…) but this is different. Nostalgia might play into this too

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.
