Proudly old-school forum, no algorithms or endless micrograding via "karma"/followers.

Genocidal apartheid ethnostate comedy - a look at how "Israel's SNL/Daily Show" spread state propaganda through viral English-language videos.

I've been trying to find concrete proof that Peter Thiel funded the "Comedy Unleashed" movement for a while now, if anyone can help.
It's been known for years that Thiel inspired and funded the "Free Speech" Union in order to normalise race science and transphobia, but culture needs more attention.

@thejudyroom.com Hi I'm hoping you can help me with a query. Are messages like this one just engagement-farming, or was the Judy Garland Show almost wiped?

I can't find anything to verify this claim so far, just loads of dodgy accounts all seemingly farming engagement. Ta.

bsky.app/profile/paul...
THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW was canceled after 26 episodes in 1964, and had every huge star in the world on it.

The editor knew CBS would erase all the master tapes, so he secretly stole them and kept them in his house for 40 years.

That's the only reason why it exists! ⚜️⚜️⚜️

As everyone predicted, Gervais was lying and trying to jump on the "wah I've been 'cancelled'" bandwagon. Absolutely desperate stuff.

It's a joy to listen to the bedazzled soundtrack again, I'd entirely forgotten Bob Efford's extraordinary tenor saxophone on Goodbye George.

I just love Dudley; incredibly talented jazz musician & one of the single greatest and most likeable comedy performers ever.

With thanks to touchingcloth for this: Chris Morris will be appearing with Cory Doctorow. Be warned that it's sold out but perhaps you can get a cancellation or something. Note that CM isn't listed on the Barbican site but is appearing.

@cheeseford.bsky.social I'd totally forgotten about this til I was hunting through my Twitter the other night, but did you get them CM tapes done? I think someone gave a stash to you as I was already swamped, but can't remember what happened to them. Getting everything pulled together and upgraded.

This is an excerpt from the BBC compliance form for the 3 hour #ChrisMorris radio special, "Raw Meat Radio."

Isn't it about time Radio 4 Extra gave this another airing? Can you please pull some strings @maryannehobbs.bsky.social ?

Chris Morris disguised "Four Lions" filming locations as kid's party invites in order to guarantee secrecy.

This kind of Tamagotchi shit to drive engagement will be in absolutely every new appliance you buy within 5 years. In the worst scenario, your fridge will simply refuse to provide you with a glass of milk until you convince it that you aren't going to ghost it after you fuck it.
