Mitchell and Webb’s new show is really funny. Crying laughing at several sketches. Supporting cast and the writers are fab. Well done.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.
Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

In te reo Māori, bats (or ‘pekapeka’) are categorised as ‘manu’, which are any winged creatures including flying insects and birds. It’s for this reason the long-tailed bat was nominated for and then won New Zealand Bird of the Year in 2021. Look at the wee fella!

This happened a lot. When I was in the Oxford Revue (out of 5 of us only the pianist went to public school) I was berated by Keith Allen for being a public schoolboy. I was not. He was.
3 out of 4 of the students on the top deck (Scumbag College) went to public schools.
3 out of 4 of the students on the bottom deck (Footlights College) were state school educated.
A great, counterintuitive thing that is oddly satisfying.

Remembering Ernesto Brambilla, born #OnThisDay in ’34. The elder brother of the more famous Vittorio, he was just as fiery as his younger bro. Vittorio died in 2001, Ernesto in 2020. Pic: Ernesto shunted with Claudio Francisci in an #F3 race at Imola in ’70 - here’s the result!

I know ‘Four Candles’ is often (& rightly) regarded as the ‘best’ comedy sketch of all time, but this and ‘Going for an English’ do it for me…

This is a fantastic essay and is certainly going to piss off some space advocates. As it should. A lot of folks haven't really thought this through. Zach and Kelly have.
