MINI THREAD: I'd always wanted to do a comedy podcast with friends, just shooting the shit n that. In 2017 I recorded one called Sooz On Film for a few episodes where I was joined by guests to talk about movies, it was fun but I only did for a few months.
Just after Edinburgh 2018 @_chris_stokes said would I be up for being on HIS new podcast with @Masudmilas (who I didn't really know but had heard wasn't a jerk or anything). We recorded our pilot (I just looked it up) on November 8th 2018.
It was called Mystery on the Rocks and we'd bring together how Masud makes ace cocktails, Chris loves real-life unsolved mysteries and I love shouting. I mentioned I could write a song for each episode and perform it at the end. WHY DID I DO THAT!?
As I said before, I kind of knew Chris and I hardly knew Masud at all and now over 80 episodes later they're two of my best m8s and the podcast is one of the things I'm most proud of. I'm so grateful to still get to do it in #pandemictimez.
We've never had a fight (and we've got hammered together a LOT) and I just think it's great that sometimes things just work out.

*Chris and Masud sacked Sooz 15 minutes after she wrote this tweet*
What I'm saying is: go listen to Mystery on the Rocks. We'll never quit. That is a threat. PS Look how cool we are, put us on your TV.

OMG Trump's joined Parler and he's telling his 26 followers that they're true patriots.
Wow Milo just said "hi baby" and Trump DIDN'T ANSWER.
Hahaha bloody hell Milo wrote "erm hello?" and Trump still didn't answer so Milo said "fuck this, bye losers" and now everyone is slagging off Milo!

THREAD: How the characters from Thomas the Tank Engine have been coping in the pandemic.

THOMAS: Really chuffed with the news of the two different vaccines. Has tweeted “pump it in to my veins!” several times and is dismayed that each tweet returns fewer RTs than the last. Image
HENRY: Flounced off Twitter in rage after getting criticised for tweeting “old people die, big deal” back in the summer. Really regrets it now since they thought of a really good Tiger King joke in mid-August. Image
PERCY: Initially baked obsessively then over the summer just posted endlessly about how rule-breakers were “ruining everything”. Is now just posting memories from a year ago hanging out with friends and captioning them all “heartbreaking x”. Image

A lot of articles pointing out how "unity can win an election" based on how the left and centre unified to elect Biden yet these articles wag their fingers at the left. The left unified, huns. You said it yourselves. I agree with the sentiment but get some self-awareness.
I cannot describe how buoyed I am by Biden's win. I pointed out none of my misgivings about him in the months leading up to the election (haha VERY aware I'm a Brit with no vote). If centrists had treated the left the same here a year ago we wouldn't HAVE a Tory government.
I will ALWAYS understand issues people have with my specific ideologies to a point, I just wish they would extend that same understanding to the left. Solidarity, comrades.

THREAD: Every weekend @trecoolx @JaneCNolan @ArranNZ and ya ol' pal Sooz watch a dreadful movie over Zoom and last night it was the turn of 1994's Disclosure.

It's incredibly sexist but also SO WEIRD!
We open on a perfect family in their perfect family home. Michael Douglas is the dad and he has toothpaste on his tie and also his suit is really baggy and awful but that's probably a 1994 thing rather than anything to do with his character. His hair is like a lion's mane.
Donald Sutherland is his boss at the IT company (did I mention this film is VERY expensive? It's based on a book by Michael "Jurassic Park" Crichton and Barry Levinson directs!) and he's gonna retire and Michael Douglas reckons he will get promoted to head of CD-ROM stuff (1994).

Carrie Symonds was really mad about how Dominic Cummings just sat behind a trestle table in the 10 Downing Street garden for that press conference. She said it should have been a podium. #CarrieSymondsOpinions
Carrie Symonds said John Redwood should have waited before writing to President Elect Joe Biden about Brexit. She reckoned it would have had more impact signed by the cabinet in January. #CarrieSymondsOpinions
Carrie Symonds laughed when she found out about Change UK. "That's not going to work haha!" she was quoted as saying. #CarrieSymondsOpinions
