"Ball". He's only got one. Like a certain other bad-haired frothing bigoted lunatic.
I'd say there was only one person being violent or aggressive during that altercation, and it wasn't the police.
He was arrested by armed police at Heathrow because all the police at Heathrow are armed. He, bizarrely, recorded himself swearing at them as they were arresting him, threatened to sue them, and said he was going to kill *someone, inaudible*. He even more bizarrely released that recording.
That man is very unwell and needs securing somewhere for his own protection, as well as the protection of everyone else. No wonder his wife left him.
Self care can be hard *hugs*

Quite fancy this for tomorrow www.daringgourmet.com/slow-cooker-...
I'd do that for cheaps.
I'd buy a car, just an ordinary electric car, nothing fancy, but I'd also buy a house within five minutes walk and I'd hire a chauffeur to live there, rent free, so that whenever I wanted to go somewhere it would be REALLY EASY.
This reminds me of Rachel Johnson being surprised at how quickly "our side" ditched Gaiman. I think she was hoping we would defend him so she could go "look, the Liberal left stick up for rapists!"
I'm not on the side of anyone who turns out to be a rapist or a pedo.
💪 vaccines save lives. I just got the flu shot at my local CVS in NYC. They have #COVIDvaccine in the fridge RIGHT NOW! Bring in a doctor’s script to get vaccinated. They only have Moderna & Pfizer, sadly no Novavax, so I have to keep waiting.
Be careful with your lovely self xxx
Thank you ♡♡♡
Did you know that you can support me on Ko-fi? What do you get? Warm fuzzies. I've got ADHD, I can't commit to producing content for subscribers on a regular basis, so instead you can grab roles for the discord server, or you can just enjoy knowing that I'll spend your money on my dog 🤣

#booksky We only need to sell 19 more copies of "Airship Shape and Bristol Fashion 1" to have sold a THOUSAND copies, which for a small press anthology is really really good! So if this is the sort of thing that floats your paddle steamer.... wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/anth...

Oh Premee, I'm so relieved! Is he OK?
Thank you. That is decent of you. :)
Sending love and good wishes xxx
Linehan has not been a comedy writer for at least a decade.
If the aim of the tweet is to incite violence or cause a person or a category of people to experience ongoing terror.....

Happy birthday!
He encouraged people to punch trans women in the crotch.
These books are free to anyone who wants them. They come from my late ex-publisher. If you want one, let me know in the replies (there are 200 in total). If you can afford the postage, brilliant. If not, no problem. I'll still sign & post one to you tomorrow. P.S. Stephen Fry called it "hilarious"
wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/chaz... #booksky - I've just seen an ARC of this and it looks absolutely beautiful - available to pre-order now from @wtpress.bsky.social

Its been that way here for a while :(
More train, FTR:
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
Wake me when it's quittin' time...

If you are in the Edmonton area Fiasco is still missing - please check garages and sheds and engines! Let's get him home, please share x
We lost one of ours for a fortnight once before he came home. Don't give up xxx
Still no news? :(
Happy birthday!
Sounds about right...
The 'phobes can all go fuck themselves, frankly.
Its like a shit country record.
"Oh, I've been arrested by the Fuzzies, ah, will ye talk to me now, Joanne? Will ya will ya will ya? Look, ma face has gone even more funny with the ole hypertension, so will ya talk to me now? Joanne? Joanne? The transies stoled ma wife and weens, so will ya no' talk to me now, Joanne?"
HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA ad infinitum...
ShutupshutupshutUP! Fifty is Not A Thing!
I'm so sorry x
Love you *hugs*
@cherylmorgan.bsky.social Brecwast?
Don't fuck this up, for the love of God...
Being able to go to a Mexican restaurant in Swansea AND get the taxi home after without having to plan it weeks in advance feels like unfathomable luxury :)
I want to be the kind of rich where you can go out to a restaurant for dinner without even thinking about it.
Given that Graham Linehan blogged about it, when he arrived back in Heathrow last night he was arrested over this tweet and two others. He has to show up for another interview in October. He also ended up in hospital with high blood pressure and is banned from tweeting.
*makes raspberry noise* That man is a ludicrous Benny Hill sketch.
Apparently Mrs John Seymour did most of the actual self-sufficiency.... If you like this may I recommend Miraculous Abundance by Charles and Perrine Herve-Gruyer?
Loving this for him. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving chap.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2? (Or whatever time it is in your timezone?)
Me three chapters into the first Outlander book.
Isn’t it amazing the way life can seem too short, and intrinsically magical, yet at the same time feel like a long, uphill road, potholed with fuckwits?
It won't even let me search for "torch", it keeps redirecting me to "touch".
Over here nationalistic people are weird. Flag shagging is weird. We don't do that "reverence for the flag" thing.
Due to the ongoing enshittification of everything, the latest Android update appears to have removed the torch from my phone.... I live practically inside a Dark Sky Reserve - I need my god-damned torch!
Voluntary PE? *shudders*
Erm, it doesn't actually represent Wales....
"I'm not weird, please don't put in the paper that I'm weird...."
Hard same this week *hugs*
When is he supposed to be coming to the UK?
I like the house but I kinda want to kill both of them....
Bold of you to assume he has a loved one...
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
She's amazing. We need a thousand more like her.
How long does the bloody menopause last? Asking for a sweaty and irritable friend....
I should belatedly point out that I adore my father in law, regretable cheese moments notwithstanding.
I'm not a big lover of blue cheese but yes, it is lovely.
You made that? Its gorgeous!
Jesus wept.
You could knit a whole second dog from that.
Never doubt my commitment to Judge Sparkle Sooknanan....
I did try. And I bought him some nice Davidstow Cheddar and a Shropshire Blue, from Tesco, to prove that they hadn't banned British cheese.... I did also point out that voting in a way that would deprive us of delicious European cheese was possibly a silly idea, but he wasn't having that.
I support trans rights because a) it's right b) attacks on trans rights will damage cis women c) I'm bi and non-monogamous cos we next and d) I can see who's pulling the strings and they're not feminists or democrats.
Happy Birthday Ed!
This reminds me of my father in law, who threw an enormous wobble in Tesco because all the cheese was "foriegn" and it was replacing traditional british cheeses and thats why he was voting for Brexit. He was standing in the "International Cheeses" aisle.

Anyway at least the City of Edmonton Shelterbuddy links are validated and live now! edmontonacccpets.shelterbuddy.com/animal/anima... edmontonacccpets.shelterbuddy.com/animal/anima...
Franca is home but Fiasco is still missing so keep crossing fingers!
Publication day tomorrow! A post on six classics of varying genres which shaped The Crooked Medium's Guide to Murder. Holmes was my gateway drug but in some ways Mrs Ashton is an anti-Holmes being social, loquacious, in a complicated relationship... #booksky #TheCrookedMedium #spooky #paranormal
It was wet but it was a really fun day x
They're good dogs, Brent.
@poopraven.bsky.social You have to see this Very Good Boy who was walking next to me in the Pride March....
It has been reported that a single Adult Human Chicken turned out to protest Carmarthen Pride, and she was effectively fanny-blocked by a small Morris dancer in a very tall hat.... #transrights
Its an episode from a recent series of Red Dwarf where they meet a guy they think is Jesus but he turns out not to be. There's some business with a battery made of lemons and the invention of the carrier bag.
Putting this out into the sky again! Edmonton folks, have you seen Fiasco or Franca??
