credit to Sally Nugent who just, in normal circumstances, brought Nigel Farage's political career to an end. If polls don't plummet after this, I will be truly astonished.

The Guardian never, ever writes"Whoopi Goldberg, whose real name is Caryn Johnson", or "Elton John, whose real name is Reg Dwight". But they do this for Tommy Robinson EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY MENTION HIM. Why? I'm all for ridiculing him, but this comes across as childish and unprofessional.

The US renamed the Gulf of Mexico, and the rest of us ignored them. In the same vein, we should collectively agree to rename Hormuz to The Trump Strait, so we can commemorate the greatest geopolitical self-own in history. The US will ignore it of course, but that'll just make it funnier.

I've just seen a car with the numberplate 4 LOS. This pleases me. I'm hoping it's not because those are the owner's initials. I'm hoping it's because it's their fourth car, and they know loS is Klingon for ”four"

I hope Russel T Davies's Dr Who Christmas special kills the show. Temporarily. I hope it stays off air for about 30 years. Then someone writes a triumphant return in 2055. And the show runs 8 years from then, and does a 100th anniversary special. That writer is about 16 years old already...

The world is learning. When I was a kids, the bad guys were ze Germans. Then da Ruskies. Then the Arabs. Now in media, it's starting to coalesce around bad guys = rich people. Which is (a) more like real life and (b) doesn't require racism.

Saw a trailer for Avengers :Doomsday today that actually made me less likely to watch it. The number of characters they're shoehorning in means it's going to have to be either 6 hours long or run at 240 fps just to get everyone in.

@robinince.bsky.social... will be KBOs. But no. The options were Uranus, Neptune, Mercury & Saturn. Mercury was apparently discovered in 1500BC, and Saturn - the 5th or sixth brightest object in the sky - was discovered in 1610. I remonstrated to no avail. Loving the book.

@robinince.bsky.social I just read p152 of "I'm a joke etc". I was at a PTA quiz night earlier this year. One round was "put 4 things in order". One question was "when planets were discovered". Ooh, I thought, this will be interesting - only 2 actual planets were discovered, so at least 2 options...

The mathematician John Venn was born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn diagram.

Poem title: At the Intersection

The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.

The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all

The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead

In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all
