Without wanting to overwhelm you with commercial announcements: This weekend isn’t the absolute worst time to buy someone a gift from my shop, as there’s free UK delivery. davewalkershop.com

I have watched The Handmaid’s Tale from start to finish in 4 weeks. I had always refused to watch it because I knew it would make me angry. It did! But I’m glad I was challenged by a student to do so.

Can anyone explain this?

My letter in today’s Times:

This is a delight.

In that case, I’m fine.

I’m not sure Switzerland should be boasting about inventing voting when women didn’t get the vote until 1971. #eurovision

It’s Friday, I feel people should have this picture to celebrate. She’s 18 and ready to take on the world.

“Why am I still here?” Because people haven’t thought about you. People feeling they are the centre of everything! #Traitors

Shame has changed sides

My cat is telling me to go to bed. She doesn’t realise that I don’t have to go to work tomorrow.

I forgot to do delay repay, suddenly remembered and I’m a day too late!

Am I the only one who has thought it was ‘push mine apple, shake the tree’ for the last 40 years. Had a revelation this morning whilst thinking it’s a weird thing to say.

I don't care how brazen this is: if this gets 20 reposts I'll post about one of the greatest tasks of my Taskmaster series, which would be talked about today as much as the trouser theft/texting/song etc, but which was NEVER BROADCAST ON THE SHOW. Or 10, whatever. I'd probably do it for 1.

Still frustrated that my first post here had a spelling mistake.

I feel I have been remiss, I’ve loved all the cat pictures and not shared my own. She is 18.

Anyone got any recommendations of who to follow here? I like cats, but I wouldn’t mind a bit of variety.

I am loving Bluesky. I put pets as an interest and my feed is full of cats! That’s about my level right now.

I have finally made it here. Drawn in my missing @jackbern.bsky.social taskmaster stats. But glad to see lots of familiar people here.
