I turned on the radio. Django came sweetly out of the speakers with his beautiful, burned, spiderweb hand.

How should we respond to terrorist atrocities? To trucks full of militias suddenly attacking towns and murdering civilians in the street?

Here's how certain people have responded.

@PYeerk "Voices who don’t know or care about us and who offer absolutely nothing for the future" said completely without irony there, as well. It's impressive stuff all round. A classic of the genre.

@TheSimonEvansX @DavidDPaxton It's called a Reverse Hitchens I think.

‘OK, get his guard down, wait until he lunges at you and then hit him on the nose with ‘Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England’

@jan_murray @PatrickChristys @GBNEWS Ha. Leo went quiet.

@JoolsJuevans Apparently it is for some people! Spent the day being told I don't understand irony, by randos who love weighing in on the tweet of the day and basement-dwelling incels who can't conceal their delight that a woman's getting abuse.

Sometimes things just are what they look like.

In all the far too many years of my life I've been on this wretched app I think this might be the most thin-skinned thing I've ever seen.

And the sheer numbers of people applauding him.

"Hur hur lol yeah great kick her Hugh'.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

One of the most discouraging aspects of Twitter is discovering that many people simply don't care what's actually true.

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

Janet and Hugh are both good sorts, and I'm sorry something had upset Hugh. I hope everything is OK.

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

Well lookie here, fuckos.

A dignified and decent apology from Hugh, who readily acknowledges he was out of order, the reason being he was drunk and already upset about something else.

It's tough being right all the time but I bear it with fortitude.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

I’m sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan. I was very slightly drunk and already upset about something that had nothing to do with you. If it’s any comfort, I got it in the neck too. I’m a thin-skinned twat, apparently, even though it wasn’t my skin. I was sticking up for the writers who I adored. Obviously I shouldn’t have cited Bach/Kahlo/Moore - asking for trouble - and would have done better to go for the 10,000 blues songs written around the same 12 bar chord structure. I’ve listened to most of them and will keep doing so. Because we love what we love.

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

@robjessel16 Excellent, I'm glad.

Rob, what on earth are they on?

@isitjustmeMrsT Been pointed out to me that these days even without tagging this stuff can get shoved into the subject's feed, which is very true and not ideal.

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

@AlexanderC19687 Whereas you, replying to me about it, are absolutely central to proceedings.

@London__Smoke @ZackPolanski 'Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti...NO NOT LIKE THAT'

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

@iainrae68 @RKHodkinson @FaringForwards There's still a lot of that guff, and higher-end versions of it like House. But it's not just the smaller producers like HBO that take creative risks.
Now all the networks, streamers and production houses are eating each other, some of their output may surprise you.

[dvypctr @DaveyPicture]

@iainrae68 @RKHodkinson @FaringForwards No, that's not at all acurate any more. There's still a ton of formulaic network stuff (some good, some bad) but the picture's a lot more mixed than it used to be.

@purplepangolin @BertDalziel Yes, Bert's the best of us, and it's not for me to comment on her impulse control or her fairness.
