I like Richard Herring. Someone sent me a joke from him (Epitaph for the human race "At least we owned the libs.") looking like it was lifted from Twitter. I was a bit incensed he was still using it, but turns out he's not it was just an old joke. So I saw he's got a Substack (which I understand some people say is problematic) which signposts his Bluesky account. Look, I've spoken about Bluesky a lot. It's not for me. For a lot of different reasons I've been very vocal about. But I've mellowed a bit and for jobbing comedians who need a commercial'ish social platform, I recognise it's the best alternative to Twitter or Insta/Meta (although ironically not dissimilar to the point he makes in this blog about Starmer being the best alternative to the Tories). Anyway there's not much point to this but I continue to like Richard Herring and found this blog a bit interesting. Do we still say blog? Is this a blog? Am I a blog?
