RIP GRIZZ!!!!

There was a lot of discourse a few years ago about straight actors playing queer characters (not so much discourse of late tbh, queer people have more pressing concerns) Anyway I just saw Rami Malek is in an Oscar-bait AIDS film with, as far as I can tell, an entirely straight cast so that’s fun.

Last night our Eurovision alternative The Nice Friendly Community Song Contest raised over £500 for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social and our winner was @thelowestbitter.bsky.social with Doom Pop! youtu.be/MB8KDxD8Ttg What an incredible creative community we have, so much so I can't do trademark glibness.

Been talking about that Guardian 100 best novels of all time list in the group chat as it’s been getting revealed, and someone correctly predicted seventeen of the top twenty just based on what was left from the canon of Incredibly Obvious Choices

This was actually very good and funny and you all should have liked it, I can only assume you’ve forgotten the 2005 Cabin Crew / Sunset Strippers chart battle with identical remixes of the same song, do better

Streeting *does* have 80-plus MPs supporters, but you wouldn’t know them, they go to another school

Very funny if nobody else stands because I think Starmer wins in a head to head with Streeting both with MPs and members

People making a big deal about that meeting between Starmer and Streeting *only* lasting 17 minutes, but in fairness spending 17 minutes in the company of Wes Streeting must feel like an eternity

ah they got this all screwed up, there

If Labour are ever going to recover from the Starmer of it all, they need to find a leader who’s charismatic, likeable, someone with strong political principles. So with all that in mind, they’ll pick that soulless prick Streeting won’t they

He might actually be trolling us @zafarcakes.bsky.social

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

Tell you one thing about Orcadians, they fucking love a Liberal Democrat

For the 3rd year we are having our alternative to Eurovision (FUCK EUROVISION AYE?!) The Nice Friendly Community Song Contest, raising money for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social It's been a truly beautiful evening previously, and the sensational Pez will be our glorious host for their FIRST STREAM!

Vote early and vote often

I’m aware most people probably categorise them as a one hit wonder but Cornershop are class and I would like them to release new music please youtu.be/U5I-ZPuDAUU?...

📈 Los Camp! Present Their Tour Accounts 🔍 lnk.to/LCAccounts A breakdown of every penny spent and earned on our sold out 2024 North American tour. In our continued pursuit of a transparent and honest Music Biz, here’s EXACTLY what the situation is for Los Camp!.

There should be a supergroup of all the women who have divorced Ben Folds, and it should be called Ben Folds Wive (Ben Folds Five is regrettably already taken)

Brb reporting Thomas Frank to the ombudsman

Can I just shock you? I'm heavily in favour of Spurs having paid calamitously over the odds for Conor Gallagher, despite what I just said earlier.

Always rated Conor Gallagher, anyone who claims I once called him “pound-for-pound the worst Spurs signing of my lifetime” is a dirty liar, I have no idea where they would have got that from

Two American artists I desperately want to see live playing MIDWEEK in London as their only UK tourdates …but I just checked and they’re on consecutive nights

Lizzo a rare example of cancellation actually happening in a very stark, career’s probably over way. Obviously a big part of that is her whole brand and image being very #BeKind coded, plus all 3 comeback singles are weak (would people get over it if the songs were better?). Still pretty wild though

Actually cringe how good a weekend of sunshine can make you feel, look at this little photosynthesising bitch here trying to heliotrope his way to happiness, I’m embarrassed for him

Guys, Donald Trump won’t see your mean tweets about him, but your friends who are also leaders of a fascist death machine will. #bekind

Just remembered this banger from the Princess Diana musical youtu.be/UlebsnuEI1Y?...

Was just looking up who’s on the ballot in my constituency and was surprised to see Alba absent from the regional list amongst all the other cranks, and turns out they wound up a couple weeks back, so irrelevant that I didn’t even see anything about it

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Mar Attack

Friends fear she’s installing ASSASSINS CREED ODYSSEY again

This season as a Spurs fan, at least once a week every week

games used to look good instead of like computer movies for dorks

A few years back at my old job there was a big externally funded VR metaverse project, the guy heading it up was full zealot about it. I said something about how VR was already on its way out, and he said straight faced that very soon everyone would have VR headsets and they’d replace smartphones

The (admittedly abysmal) start to the Tudor era almost had me believing the Frank apologists, saying it was all on the players and the owners, and yes there are huge problems with both the above but tonight proved to me that Thomas Frank should be in An Actual Prison #COYS

Most fun I’ve had watching Spurs in MONTHS and it’s getting papped out the Champions League but who cares Igorball is here

There always seems to be some discourse going on about the English bakery chain Gail’s and it just makes me a bit sad because in Scotland all our cafe and bakery drama is locally sourced from independent businesses

There is not a single Morrisons that has a layout that makes sense. And no Morrisons has a layout even close to the same as the layout of another. Do you know how improbable those things are? The effort that must go into creating hundreds of different store layouts, all a nightmare in their own way

Beyond knowing it’s a number and presumably an important one I don’t really know what Pi is, I think something to do with circles? Anyway none of you nerds tell me let me continue to exist in blissful ignorance free from the misery of maths xoxo

Back on my bullshit (low effort memes)

This is an objectively hilarious thing to be saying, in an open letter no less, in response to someone giving opera and ballet a mild slagging

I’ve always found Harry Styles a bit flavourless but all his albums so far have had songs and moments where I felt he was doing or at least trying to do something interesting, so I’m kind of bewildered by how dull this new record is. This was billed as a joyful dance record, he sounds bored shitless

I’ve said variations of this before but caring about football is one of the stupidest life decisions I ever made, and I had the perfect get out clause for ignoring a lifetime of sporting misery right there waiting for me in homosexuality, yet I didn’t take it

Seeing Lily Allen tonight and I’ve just read an interview where she says she’s not playing ANYTHING else except West End Girl, no hits encore, which I am honestly fine with but I am very interested to see the crowd reaction to this 👀

Last week Spurs had a goal disallowed for the tiniest hint of a push and this week goal given against Spurs for a full bodied two handed shove 🙃

Paisley Road West closed in one direction for at least one and potentially two months, with about a days notice. Scottish Water you messy bitch

The gig I just went to (Maxïmo Park) was full of eggy farters. Was this a portent?
