Though one thing I miss about the old constituency was that the Greens always fielded a candidate called Dick Venes, and you’d see posters with “Green Dick Venes” on them like they were aiming for that crucial Incredible Hulk vote

It’s interesting being in a constituency where I don’t really get a vote, and not because it’s a safe seat, but beca The main parties don’t tend to field a candidate to go up against the Speaker. It allows me a level of relaxation and detachment from the whole thing I’ve never had before.

Dune Part 3: Melange à Trois

The problem with why we don’t implement Universal Basic Income is one of framing. Universal Basic Income is great for selling it to people who are already convinced.

Milton Friedman who was the father of the Neoliberal economic policies we’ve had since the late 70s believed in Universal Basic Income. He framed it differently though, as Negative Income Tax, which is a name that won’t scare the right, but won’t win the left.

2 years ago I was on a TV panel show and they used this photo which I love, but due to the lighting my teeth look brown 😂

Finally, the meme is right, we ARE having scalloped potatoes for tea

In the last 6 months I’ve clearly built a lot of muscle and strength, but due to the amount of body fat I have the only place where you can actually see I’ve built muscle is in my traps which is really hard to take a photo of

After a talk with my agent and PR woman apparently it’s “for the best” that I go back to using social media as I have for the last 20 years, only “try to be less of a dick when people annoy you”. So more of my life nonsense, but don’t fucking test me I’ll still block you

nostr:npub1zkjlnx7w7cmgc0fqpvxvkqnf99jw239rnlf77l8tq28r006h36dszky3m7 right? At our age and experience I thought I was out of big surprises in this front, but fucking hell

Since her stroke Spruce the cat struggles with things not being how she expects, and the number one thing she expects is for me to be sat on my space on the couch, so from 3am today she’s been trying to wake me to get me to come and sit on the couch. I’ve not slept properly in weeks.

I don’t know why you’re trying to argue with me, I’m just stating the facts, someone wrote for a stuck production by a struck company during a strike. This is the literal definition of scabbing. Whether you think that editing is or isn’t writing is irrelevant as the WGA sees it as writing and this was why Gaiman didn’t sign off on the original subtitles.

Stupidly agreed to do a festival again, and for some reason they sent me through the main entrance where some kid ran in and hit me in the back, I had no idea he was a kid and reeled round screaming “Don’t fucking touch” and raised my fist ready for the fight that my limbic system assumed was coming, only to see a 9 year-old looking terrified a lot of people looking very angry, some smirking and laughing at me as I had a meltdown. Anyway, let’s make some people laugh.

Just played “If you could read my mind, love” by Gordon Lightfoot whilst looking at him, but it made me too sad

My dad’s finally getting his hearing tested, my mum’s deaf, and so even though the volume on everything he owns has gradually been cranked up to full over the last decade he’s refused before on the grounds of “your mum’s the deaf one”.

It has taken me pointing out that the rattling reverb when people talk to him on the phone is his case as the volume’s too high. “Oh, I thought it was quite quiet, I should get my hearing tested”

So someone scabbed and corrected the subtitles on Good Omens season 2. Great for people who use subtitles, terrible for writers.

Tesco guy came and tried talking to us about the football, I had to tell him we’re not those kind of lesbians.
