According to @MrEwanMorrison 'The post internet era has begun. The net has been taken over by bots. Time to get ready to walk away from the net and to communicate and make culture more directly.' Perfect timing for The Suppression Cabinet. tickettailor.com/events/thesupp…

The Edinburgh International Code of Conduct Festival has been accused of receiving 'a huge start-up grant' from the so-called Scottish Creative Industries. Accused? Surely this is a cause for celebration. Artistic conformity - that's where the big money is.

I see @JohnBoyneBooks is shortlisted for a major French literary award. I too. I too. Bonne chance, Jean*. As I appear to be up against Iúdit Ní Buitléar, however, my chances of winning are probably slim to slimmer. *Misgendering? Heaven forfend. It's French. For John.

The Edinburgh International Code of Conduct Festival finished on Sunday. Or did it? We don't know. Why? We, hereinafter referred to as the organisers, decided to exclude ourselves to counter possible accusations of wrongthink. You can't be too careful these days.

Cruel business, comedy. By this time next year he'll be cleaning the gentlemen's urinals at Ward's Irish House in Piccadilly. And glad of the work.

Nice to see a middle-class white boy winning the Edinburgh comedy award. Long overdue. Slight oversight on the potty training. But still.
I know I wrote this, but I started reading it for the first time and I think it's the funniest book ever written. Prove me wrong. I can take it.
Slight Rewrite: What do we want? A clampdown! When do we want it? As soon as our huge grant from the Scottish Creative Industries is confirmed!

We at the Edinburgh International Code of Conduct Festival believe that freedom of speech is destroying the arts as mindless entertainment. What do we want? A clampdown! When do we want it? Now!
