Buster Keaton creates effortless comedy with a hat

This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

[Conor O'Neill @conoraon]

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

It’s been a blast!

Totally delighted that yesterday Coulrophobia totally smashed it on its first trip outside Europe. Two sold-out performances to close the Shimokitazawa International Puppet Theater Festival in Tokyo, with audiences howling for more.

Does anyone from @CostaCoffee actually sample what they are selling? I had a cappuccino and an almond croissant on the M4 services. The coffee was watery, burnt and exceedingly bitter while the croissant was flaccid, had the texture of a damp loo roll with a tiny blob of filling.

@KidCarpet @YouTube Excellent work!

Mr Carpet makes a blinder!!!!

@Spymonkeycomedy @Volksoper_Wien This looks awesome!

On their way to perform a bicycle-based show at a festival of “slow travel” these poor guys (friends of friends) had ALL their stuff stolen. Help them get the show back on the road!

Need a night of laughter? Check out Coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) at @WardrobeTheatre 2-6 May by Bristol's fantastic @OTT_Theatre - makers of Big Boys Don't Cry | “A fabulous and totally mad adventure.” ★★★★★Playstosee https://t.co/Reqe2a7FWR

[Opposable Thumb Theatre @OTT_Theatre]

After a few false starts, we’re actually back at the Wardrobe. So looking forward to this!

Make our water safe & clean. The numbers are out: water companies dumped sewage into our rivers and beaches 301,091 times in 2022. Until sewage dumps stop, bonuses for water company CEOs should be blocked. Agree? Sign the petition: https://t.co/OdjRwbQvDx

Wish I was at Moving Parts to see this and loads of other amazing puppet works.
Break a string!
