Did the wonderful South Shields
#parkrun
this morning. Not an easy one with a buggy!! Other than the original at Bushy, I think this may be the only parkrun I've done that doesn't repeat any section of the course at all.

Five countries are gone, including Spain, one of the big 5. Nemo's gone, Charlie McGettigan's gone. And now Conchita's gone as well. This was an event the whole of Europe could be proud of. And now it's all destroyed, for the benefit of one genocidal nation...

This is not a free speech issue. Anyone else caught lying in their job would be in huge trouble, and rightfully so. There's no reason that politicians should be treated any different. In fact, they should be held even more accountable. I fully support this proposal.

Now that Stranger Things has ended, can we take a moment to appreciate the amazing love letter to synthesizers that Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein composed for the show? Their setup included synths like the Prophet-6, Prophet-5, Univox Mini-Korg, Oberheim SEM, Roland SH-2, ARP 2600, and a lot more!

I had a post do very well yesterday, and since then I've had 30+ accounts block me - despite it being the most inoffensive post in existence. Is this just what happens whenever you have even the most minor viral moment?

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Routinely disappointed each year by the names that accept honours. There's no better demonstration of the failings of the British education system than the annual number of citizens who don't immediately refuse an award implicitly celebrating the British Empire.

I know it's all just bullying.....but hypothetically, if the Kennedy Center were in any way, shape or form setting things up so that the cancellation of a single free jazz concert in a 500-seater can cause them a million dollars in damages, they are fucking things up on an unimaginable level

It is beyond laughable that an MP whose party rule books say it is a “democratic socialist party” goes out on their social media attacking “lefties”. I hope their base deserts them in droves. I already have.

Shame on Jo Stevens for taking this view. I actually used to consider her a decent politician, but between this and her refusal to devolve the crown estate, she's made it abundantly clear that she couldn't care less about Cymru or its people
