Right. I'm on a nightbus home. So the law is i have to tell y'all a story. So let me tell you about the time i ended up drinking with Ray Harryhausen's right-hand animator. Who we were incorrectly convinced was full of so much shit

It must be deeply annoying having your livelihood stolen and copied by thieves... 🤨

It's World Mental Health Day. I hope every day is good to you, of course, but today especially.

Taxing the rich works and every scare story is a lie.

Forgive me for feeling emotional seeing stuff like this. As soon as I'd finished this book my ex-publisher collapsed, took my earnings and I had no idea whether it would even come out. I got the impression everyone who read it before it was published hated it. All I knew was I felt it was my best...

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

"Its the wrong place to get money from.. there are other places.. the richest 50 families are worth £500bn. Why are we talking about pensioners £12,500 & not talking about a wealth tax. Why is that?" @unitesharon.bsky.social says scrapping the triple lock would be the wrong thing to do

Tonight is press night. A lifetime together. A promise made long ago. And one extraordinary birthday. and I looked at the sky with Mary Tillett and John Rayment at Omnibus Theatre until 3 October. Here we go. ❤️ www.omnibus-clapham.org/whatson/and-...

I missed the 80th anniversary of his majesty’s birth yesterday

It always feels absurdly grown-up, buying a rail season ticket when I have actual regular work. You know, like I'm some sort of normal person. As opposed to the 66-year-old child I actually am.

Ooh not seen that before. A big ol’ rearranging of who sits where on the plane, because you can’t have a child sitting in the emergency exit seat. Very polite, but clear that we were milliseconds from a grumpy “well I don’t see why” conversation 🤣

I’m here to tell you this is an absolutely wonderful book, in so many unexpected (and unexpectable) ways that I’m not going to list them. Just trust me; it’s perfect storytelling. “Everything Will Swallow You” by Tom Cox (@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social)

This is genuinely fascinating.

Good morning Bluesky. Dragging this one out again because I definitely did and it is.

Has anybody yet coined a word for the odd mix of anxiety invoked when you ignore an unknown phone number, even when it's obviously a scam?

Wrote a line in my diary about making the most of a thing I'd dreamt about. However, as a non-touch typist, I wasn't looking at the screen, and didn't spot the capslock was on. I actually typed, "I SHOULD CAPITALISE ON THIS" At 6:30, before adequate coffee, this seems the funniest thing ever.

The world is increasingly filled with people who promise things, which they then silently just don't bother doing.

Filled in the consultation questionnaire about HMRC's latest proposals for further increasing the regularity of tax returns (including *forecasting* one's self-employed income, FFS). Reader, I was very sarcastic.

Yeah I'm a jammy bugger this morning. Wordle 1,865 2/6* ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Monday. Always the possibility of someone offering me work. (there is the sound of distant hysterical laughter)

Dagnabbit. The ST:SNW spoilers are getting annoying. Ok, ok, I'll renew my P+ subscription and watch the damn thing.

Ruin a book by adding a word: The Lord of the Ring-pieces The Power and the Glory Hole The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner Bean

Small pleasures. This was a cutting I took from my Mum's oleander... which was in turn, a cutting from her sister's oleander, which was a cutting from one they had in their garden in Lewisham when they were kids. No idea where that one came from. It smells like Play-Doh 🥰

From ‘Outstanding’ and a good reminder that investing in the arts is a win-win, not a lose-lose, proposition.

Binface vs Frogface. What a time to be alive.

Being 'the most attacked politician' isn't the same as being 'the politician most people think is a cunt'.

Ok, I know I'm a bit peculiar, but I'll admit that I get a teeny frisson, a bit like holiday excitement, from watching the little yellow aeroplanes arriving at and departing from a foreign airport on FlightRadar. #probablythesunshine #weirdoldpillock
