Don McLean: And the three men I admire most, the father, son and the holy ghost, they caught the last train for the coast the day the music died.
Waitress: (Wearily) Just tell me what kind of pie you want.

Haha, could have replied with this when, talking about my recent indoor skydiving to an aged relative, was told it would have more of an achievement had I actually jumped out a plane

Twitter is like a playground where the teachers are inside having lunch as chaos reigns outside, anything and everything goes
Bluesky is like a Theatre production with an intermission, fabulous people and conversations on and off stage
Sometimes I'll be in the playground, sometimes at the theatre

In honor of all the new arrivals, I'm sharing one of my favorite videos.
It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.
Brilliant work by Bartosz Wojczyński. 🧪

Please repost (retweet) stuff on here. Once that stopped on Twitter, we comedians didn’t feel the platform was working for us. I know it’s a wank thing to ask to publicise us, but we need it and we publicise loads of other things. Isn’t reposting a comedian better than reposting outrage? I hope so.

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school:
Hi, I’m Mel. Look everyone, this is how not to do it.

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school:
“Lazy, disinterested and content to do only the minimum”
From my PE teacher. I think she meant “uninterested” but other than that it’s all still true.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.
