Don’t worry if you were going to see Trainspotting, your ticket is still valid for Bus Replacement Servicespotting: The Musical.

The National

The UK tour of a stage musical version of Trainspotting has been cancelled after a spate of bad reviews and poor ticket sales 👀

I’m pretty sure the reason Alley Cats episodes are only 15 minutes long is because Ricky Gervais can’t go longer than that, even during a recording session, without mentioning his shite vodka.

Can anyone help me finish my Cryptic Crossword? Really struggling on this clue.

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

No, but you see, JK Rowling is definitely a centrist, because she’s anti-left, and also anti-rights.

It is still insane to me that Eat Out To Help Out was not valid on takeaway orders. What’s that, there’s a way we can save hospitality businesses, whilst also following health and safety protocols during a pandemic? Nah, let’s not fucking bother with that.

If we’re discussing covid, back in August 2020 the Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, introduced a programme that subsidised £850m for people to congregate in enclosed spaces and get infected with the disease that killed people, then the state broadcaster depicted him as a superhero

It will surprise no one to learn that this, on a thread about Amnesty International apologising to “gender critical” groups, did not receive any response.

Embarrassingly craven and self-defeating. What good is a human rights organisation that will back down and delete everything they've posted about anti-rights organisations being against the rights of minorities if a billionaire has-been author even *threatens* to sue?

Amnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

I find it fascinating when cis people talk about puberty blockers for trans youth. There’s genuinely just not a single bit of critical thinking going on in their minds.

You either die calling out the anti-rights organisations, or live long enough to see yourself become an anti-rights organisation.

Amnesty International has now issued a public groveling apology to JK Rowling's organization and has pulled her another report documenting the anti rights platform of gender critical organizations. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...

Man, must be gutting for all global dictators to discover that they could’ve simply silenced any criticism of their practices from Amnesty International by simply threatening them with a SLAPP suit via Twitter.

A sitcom? With swearing?! Well, flip me, Ricky Gervais, you are one edgy mother fudger.

This was the show that first introduced me to Rhod Gilbert, Gina Yashere and Greg Davies. What a genuine loss to light entertainment

A real shame to see the BBC axe Live at The Apollo. It seemed like the only show on TV that actually lets stand-up comedians do stand-up comedy, and was a great platform for introducing newer acts to a TV audience.

Since The Spectator have today posted an article, in the wake of the Berlin attack, about the threat “Islamists” hold against a nation of “freedom-lovers”, I thought I’d look back over the year to see just how freedom-loving The Spectator actually are towards queer people and Pride…

Again, this is why I am utterly disgusted with academic colleagues who write in the Spectator. I don’t care if you’re trying to “reach a broader audience” or “change minds”, you’re further legitimising an outlet that otherwise spews violent hatred against people like me and my friends.

Right-wingers don’t see trans people as a “distraction”, they see attacks on trans people as a key part of their political ideology. Liberals and centrists see trans people as a “distraction”, because they don’t give a shit about the safety, protection or rights of trans people.

A reminder that, in June, Reform reinstated Sunderland councillor Glenn Gibbins, a man who suggested Nigerians should be melted down and used to fill potholes. Nigel Farage did not report this to the police, did not demand he face legal consequences, and still welcomes him in his party.
