Some subscribers think I’m discontinuing The Glinner Update now that JL has walked into the sunset after delivering her final columns. Of course, JL’s departure represents a substantial injury to my Substack. There were many times when JL’s War on Women WAS The Glinner Update, and there was a short list of people who could even hope to replace her.

I can’t say for certain whether Ripnutmeg was her idea or mine, but we were both delighted at the thought. Nutmeg is an essential account on Twitter, and like JL, she holds to the light the worst of the trans movement merely by using clear, unambiguous language. Her update will arrive in your inbox on a Friday rather than a Monday and it t’will be called ‘Nutmeg’s Week’. Welcome, Nutmeg! I am not worthy!

Also, for paid subscribers only, I am holding an auction of some mementoes from my office, the office that was my model for The IT Crowd. There’s a ton of things that fans will recognise (I possibly stole a few from the set when we wrapped) but that’s not all! THRILL to my unfilmable script about two crossdressers who are mistaken for Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas! READ what Hat Trick Productions cancelled by owning a script of Father Ted, The Musical! Be CONFUSED by my handwritten notes for jokes in The IT Crowd and more!

The money we raise will be shared between LGB Alliance and Sex Matters, so start start getting your bids ready!

More pics below! Become a paid subscriber! I WILL make it worth your while!
