I'm getting word that some of you haven't listened to The Abergele Files yet. Seriously? After the week you've had? Give your poor weary soul a break and put something silly in your ears 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Deeply honoured to have made it to the hallowed pages of Lev's Substack. Why you...

The new Tristen album Unpopular Music is out today, and of course it's wonderful, I love Tristen www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThFp...

The stupidity of the willingness to criticise a British Labour politician for saying they have "not really followed a New York mayoral election but good for the guy on the left that won as seems nice" is a far better example of Labour and the left's problems in the UK than the original clip itself.

"It’s one thing to watch someone destroyed by an enemy. But how much more fascinating to see them destroyed by their friends?" someone finally let me write about The Traitors

All the class of a rat with a gold tooth.

A superb book and a mad bargain

Disgraceland

David absolutely obliterating the credibility of higher education with his votes, universities will be shut down over this #CelebrityTraitors

DEATH BY HUNDIE ☠️

Bluesky’s really fun, I think you’d like it.

I do love a bit of shit writing that falls over on the first word. Outstanding, love he's style.

lol

Special thanks to the people letting off masses of fireworks at 1.15 and 4am. Hopefully someone turned them over to the Instant Death Squads, which we have under Sharia law

love all the regions of new york with funny names like "noho" which means north of houston street and "tenderloin" which means 23rd to 42nd street and "new jersey" which means fuck you

almost posted a thought about Mamdani then remembered this tweet

There are, obviously, reasons why it's a story now, but let's pretend there aren't so we can do some vague BBC-bashing

I mean, come on, you voted for this guys.

We begin another months-in-the-making three-parter with the story of Labour. In part one (up to 1939): why it was a fractious coalition from day one, how it overtook the Liberals to become a party of government, and why Ramsay MacDonald went from hero to treacherous villain. Contains foreshadowing

sorry why does this random judgy little hypocritical creep get a puff piece exactly

Duolingo catching the mood this morning

Margot Kidder in New York, photographed by Patrick Jarnoux, 1979. You will never be this cool. It’s simply not going to happen. Condolences.

So far this morning I've seen about 18 Things The Left Needs To Learn and it's not even 8.30 yet

Cocks Cocks Cocks

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

André Kertész. A man painting his shadow. 1927.

“The sad truth is that reader interest in African stories is very low; whereas in Israel and Gaza it is high. Data analysis allows media outlets to count these views and clicks very carefully — and take them into account when deciding whether to commission expensive foreign assignments.”

Sneak peak at this week’s episode. Brilliant snaps and short video by one half of the writing team, @mattleys.bsky.social

In important news from history today, it is (although I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you) the joyful 10th birthday of this unimprovable tweet

Mood piece. Political jazz 🎷

There’s a lyric video for a Paw Patrol song where the words are “we’ve got each others backs” but the words on screen say “we’ve got each others bags” which is what a panic-stricken person says to a stranger in an airport car park, and I have to be honest I prefer it

The best Chelsea Hotel fact is that the last ever guest at the Chelsea Hotel before it closed was Reg Hollis off of The Bill. He refused to leave and called the cops

A lovely paean to Scout, the absolutely best dog of them all

The final line here is utterly, utterly batshit given everything that is going on right now. I'm sure that Putin will pay a lot of attention to the 'non-militarised European Security Framework'

Let's hear it for the poppies that starred flowering in April and are still going in November. Well done the poppies

Just finished Riot Women and yes absolutely great more please asap

@lauracummingart.bsky.social Have you seen the Kenwood Vermeer and its double? Thrilling and fascinating.

I'm beginning to think you can't trust random videos on the internet

October playlist was a good one. Nearly 2 hours of new, old and odd spotify.link/039LJhVPXXb
