One problem with leaving the birdsite is that I had built up a reasonable list of illustrators to follow there, and I really haven't here. But I bet they're around. If you're a #fantasy or #sciencefiction or #comedy#illustrator, especially if you're interested in commissions from an author, give this post a like so I can check out your work. Or recommend me someone in the comments. Or boost this so more people see it. Or just tell me what good hashtags I should be following. #illustration#sff
🌌 On this day in 1978 the very first episode of the very first version of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy went out on Radio 4. We can't tell you how proud that makes us.
Here's a lovely programme about Douglas and his creation, presented by his friend John Lloyd, that went out on the 40th anniversary.
Hello I'm Paul aka BirdsOfPraise, I've been on fedi since maybe 2016 or something. I like #music (making and consuming), #nature (being therein), stand up #comedy, #fringeTheatre, etc etc.
I live in #Leeds UK, I'm a big ol' #queer and I do web dev work for the #BFI
This is currently a single-user instance so I would appreciate a few boosts for visibility!
You wanna know how we help this platform become more diversified and fun? #BOOST Y'all can't say you want more inclusivity and different conversations+content if y'all only like people shit. You know that doesn't move anything here. So when you see people posting #movie reviews, #book reviews, #comedy, #tarot, #astrology, #gamer talk, #handmade items-- BOOST IT. Even if it's not YOUR particular cup of tea. It may be someone elses.
I don't know who it was that put a Canadian flag and a satellite dish on a roadside beaver house in the middle of nowhere British Colombia... but well done. No notes. #comedy
Ismo is a comedian from my home town, Jyväskylä, Finland. Couple of years ago he made a breakthrough in the US when he got to perform at Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Ismo’s jokes are literal (often Leslie Nielsen type of stupid-literal-dad-joke level stuff), witty, he rarely uses any profanity in his stuff. Most of all he doesn’t do politics or offensive stuff, he does not need it. He loves to play with words and fuck with the American people. The funniest thing is, in Finland he also has the same setlist, just the words are different, it works surprisingly well in the world as well.
Ismo is unique and truly funny, I often laugh to him just seeing him talk. I mean really, I’ve seen him talking in the morning TV and not even trying to be funny and I still laugh my ass off. If you literally want to laugh your ASS word while getting your mind blown with the world ASS, watch this.
♞ Life-sized chess pieces, alcohol-guzzling nuns and crucified, naked, bespectacled men. The story of British Surrealism began not in Bohemian London but in a Birmingham suburb. Of course it did.
Comedian and writer Stewart Lee revels in the story of The Balsall Heath Bohemians.
Paul Reubens, best known for portraying Pee-wee Herman, has died at age 70, according to posts on his social-media accounts. “Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit," the Instagram caption said. Variety looks back at his career, which started in the 1970s after he joined comedy troupe the Groundlings.
Any sting has completely gone from Chappelle's "edgy" comedy. It's like when a record gets to the end and it just keeps skipping back over the last few bars.
That's what our Friday columnist Alyssa Steinsiek thinks (and I think she's right). She wrote about how sad it is, as a trans woman and a former fan, to see Chappelle producing lame, hacky material that lacks even the ability to get folks riled up. #trans#news#comedy#chapelle
If you hear stories about #JohnMastodon, they're not real-- well, maybe not.😏

I've just been to see Fascinating Aida live and they are utterly superb. I pretty much cried with laughter for two hours straight, and ALL of you should go if you can. They have two more nights in London then touring around the UK.
🎉 “From some point today every episode of Red Dwarf will drop on BBC IPlayer. This is the first time ever all the shows have been available to watch at the same time in the same place. Let the Dwarf binge begin.” - @DougRDNaylor

Forgot the Intermission was separate from Chapter 2, my bad.
