Made a sketch about how algorithms pit us against each other because they want all our love for themselves.
If you do like it, please do let us know, like and share and all that good stuff.
If you don't like it, it's probably because the algorithm told you not to.

Me: God, what is the point of life?
God: You know how they’ll make a dog toy look like a mustard bottle or something, and it’s purely for the human’s benefit and the dog’s like buhhhh whuhhh. Well you’re the dog, and I love mustard, baby.

Our country is skint. Clearly. We're making horrible cuts to disability benefits and sacking managers in the NHS. Has anyone considered legalizing and taxing weed? Seems like low-hanging fruit. I'm not saying it would solve all the problems, but it would probably bring in a fair chunk of change.

I just met the most estate agent of all estate agents.
- Over an hour late "apologies stuck in traffic" (almost impossible that this was true)
- Arrived, covered in gold chains (like a prick)
- Told me he was a landlord himself "you can't just have one job in London" ....

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

It's one of those days where writing (or the attempt to write) feels like wading through a dense, non-newtonian liquid where the more I want to write, the more interested I become in speed chess

How to rice.
1. Pour a sensible amount of rice into a pan.
2. Wash it.
3. Stare at it suspiciously. Is it enough? Probably not.
4. Add more rice. Way too much.
5. The pan is wet. No going back.
6. Cook the rice.
7. It's way, way, too much rice. Don't do this again next time!
8. Repeat.
