Getting the usual complaints about my front lawn Nativity tableau from people claiming it's not customary to depict the actual moment of birth.

Once again we’re being warned that if we ask billionaires to pay their fair share of tax they might leave. So it’s definitely worth trying.

2025-10-29 07:51:51 UTC

It’s nearly Halloween, so don’t forget to buy plenty of sugary treats and snacks. You’ll need something to eat while you sit at home in the dark, pretending to be out.

Amazing to think that Google is 27 years old today. According to the AI summary, it was invented in 1843 by the golfer and astronaut Keanu Reeves in Tokyo, Belgium.

When a storm is forecast I take the opportunity to do one of my favourite things: go out in the middle of the night and leave a fish on top of my neighbour’s car.

2025-07-14 09:44:17 UTC

Then they came for the sarcastic people and I was like oh great that's exactly what we need right now well done to all concerned.

If you’re still trying to decide on your plans for Easter weekend, ask yourself “What would Jesus do?” and definitely don’t do that.

2025-04-10 07:51:34 UTC

World Homeopathy Awareness Week begins today. The less aware of it you are, the more good it will do you.

2025-03-01 11:50:58 UTC

Strange how things turn out.
With Trump, America elected a phoney TV hero and got a clown for a president. With Zelensky, Ukraine elected an actual TV clown and got a hero for a president.

2025-02-23 19:53:02 UTC

All you need to know is that Zelensky is willing to sacrifice power for the sake of his country and Trump is willing to sacrifice his country for the sake of power.

2025-02-08 16:40:59 UTC

I’m old enough to remember when "You won’t believe what happens next!" was clickbait, not US government policy.

2025-01-23 11:22:53 UTC

Trump: god saved me!
God: I saved you so you could hear what my bishop has to tell you.
Trump:
God:
Trump: new phone, who dis?

2025-01-14 21:23:44 UTC

So disappointed that I won't be able to watch Trump's inauguration as I see from my diary that I have a longstanding appointment to take a bunch of Valium and sit in a cave.

2025-01-07 16:35:13 UTC

Who could have predicted that the greed crazed sociopathic billionaire tech bros would turn out to be such dicks.

2024-12-24 11:03:52 UTC

Idea for a humane mousetrap:
The mouse is lured by a trail of cheese into a tiny cinema. The cinema is showing "Stuart Little." When the mouse sees Stuart Little wearing trousers, it comprehends its own nakedness. Overcome by shame, it flees to a distant land, never to return.

He's making a list,
he's checking it twice,
he's searching his pockets,
and finding his keys,
he's checking the list again,
and making sure he turned the lights off,
hold on now where's the list?
Ok found it, better check it again,
wait, did he lock up?
Santa Claus,
is getting too old for this shit.

Anyone who says billionaires are wealth creators is lying. Billionaires are wealth creators in the same sense that mosquitoes are blood banks.

Opened first advent calendar window. Image frozen. Just a static 2D rendering of a donkey ride. No user interface, no interactive functionality, no hyperlinks. Tried closing & opening again. Nothing. This is bullshit.

2024-11-26 18:34:34 UTC

Keeping things low-key with my Christmas tree this year. No lights, no decorations. Also it’s not in my house. It’s somewhere in a forest, probably, so I’ll just leave it there and think about it occasionally.

2024-11-14 09:55:38 UTC

The difference between Trump making Matt Gaetz his Attorney General and Caligula making his horse a consul is that some people like horses.

2024-11-09 13:14:52 UTC

Sorry, the marketplace of ideas is closed. Welcome to the pawnshop of delusions.

2024-10-15 13:01:26 UTC

It's Nietzsche's birthday. The abyss will be closed today for a private function.

2024-10-13 13:18:16 UTC

Margaret Thatcher was born on this day in 1925. She’s been dead for eleven years now, but it’s probably a good idea to keep checking. Bring garlic and a sharpened stake.

2024-09-15 22:44:24 UTC

What do we want?
Passive aggressive behaviour.
When do we want it?
Never mind, you're clearly too busy and it’s not important. As long as you’re happy, that’s the main thing. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.

2024-08-12 14:49:49 UTC

On World Elephant Day it’s worth considering that elephants are so big you could easily live inside one. But nobody is talking about the room in the elephant.

2024-08-08 13:26:33 UTC

Please note: the civil war in the UK has been cancelled owing to a massive display of human decency on one side and the other side not showing up.

2024-08-06 10:59:08 UTC

Who could have predicted that allowing sociopathic billionaires to exercise immense power with zero accountability would turn out so badly.
