Flabbergasted by BBC announcing, as news, that theatres need the annual pantomime to get enough money to get through the rest of the year. This has been the case for decades - pantomimes generally make money, other performances less so.

Megyn Kelly is absolutely committed to making everyone regret they ever felt sympathy when Trump went after her.

It's pretty fucking dire if The Beano knows its (mostly primary school aged) audience will not only see you as a punchline, but also get the joke that you're a gullible bullshitter.

Feeling my age today.
Yesterday it’s 30 years since I started with my current employer (admittedly 3 or 4 company names ago).
It’s also 40 years and a few weeks since graduation.
And I appear to have broken the HR system!

I often think of @angelabarnes.bsky.social Edinburgh show where she had a long conversation, in German, with a native German speaker on the front row. What she likely never realised (due to lecture theatre style seating with desk in front) is the guy was wearing a full Scottish kilt. Incongruous!

Two #EdFringe shows I saw without having previously known anything about the show/performer and really loved:
David Elms Describes a Room - https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/2025DAVIDEN
Annie Boyle: Smooth Criminal - https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/annie-boyle-smooth-criminal

The wonders of modern air travel where I can see that my flight in six hours is already an hour late. I am not going to be remotely human tomorrow…

Just realised that @bechillcomedian.bsky.social doesn’t start her Edinburgh run until after I have headed home and really feel that the world should be better arranged for my convenience!

Went to a Grace Petrie gig last night - fantastic fun and well worth going if you are near the 4 places left on the tour. However I’m massively amused by being the statistical outlier as an unaccompanied white straight man at a hugely rainbow and trans supporting gig

Tom Holland for Eric then Henry Cavill as Bananaman
Alex Broker's wrong answer of 'Bananaman' on CatchPhrase just now made me wonder: when sense prevails and a big-budget film of Bananaman is made, who plays the title role? I say it's the role Tom Hardy was made for.

My blood donor session today was relocated most of a mile because there was an event in the original venue.
And that is how I very nearly gate crashed a Mormon funeral service.
The sign on the door would have helped, if the door hadn’t been pinned open with the sign against and facing the wall…

Found a boxroom with a bed in Edinburgh at the start of August for a reasonable price so it looks like I shall be going to the Fringe this year. I was expecting to be completely priced out this year
