I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Dua providing a proper pop girl moment. Dance the Night and Electricity such reliable bangers. #brits

the best Mark Ronson records: Somebody to Love Me Love Is a Losing Game Nothing Breaks Like a Heart #brits

This is an old-man-yells-at-cloud complaint in 2026 at a typical gig, but why attend something that's broadcast, recorded perfectly and preserved forever for us all, to record a crap clip on your phone? (A sea of them during Raye's performance) #brits

These floor interviews are excruciating (don't even get me started on the pre-reocorded skits). How many musical performances are lost to this? Bring back Ben Elton and a dark cavern of industry tables on the bag. #brits

Did they just bleep out free Palestine?!?

Rosalía and Björk!!!!! 😭 #brits

Gotta say I enjoyed Raye's "where is my husband" more when casually listening, assuming she had mislaid her husband, and was planning to report him as a missing person. I did later realise the actual premise (she is unwed, and not pleased about it) #brits

Surely a better joke for Jack Whitehall there would have been "it's Andy Burnham, ladies and gentlemen. No Andy, please don't get up! You're not allowed to stand." #Brits

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

is this illegal? it feels illegal

This and constantly being bombarded with ads for SimplySafe. I hate it so much.

This is great. Pregnant people is an important term because trans men can carry babies too. Trevor Phillips seems to be assuming that only men transition, what a shocker.

ICON. 💔

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson. Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks. Piss him off instead and Join.greenparty.org.uk

PinkPantheress remix album is the brat remix album of 2025 (Amaarae's album is the brat of 2025)

Gaga mayhem ball? a slay. Best I have ever seen her - last time was Artrave 2014(!)

Lately have been disassociating while binging 2000s family romcom drama Brothers & Sisters. Never saw it at the time. It's on streaming service U (which is free) and is totally addictive: warm, melodramatic, ridiculous, brilliant. Sally Field, Calista, Matthew Rhys, Rob Lowe! No spoilers please

I actually don’t give a fuck about the level of “illegal migration”

I mean this is how you report on that plan

The idea that climate change is a 'liberal' concern, the idea that climate catastrophe is a threat primarily to 'the left', is such a lol Unstopped, the entire world population (politically: everyone) will be competing for fresh potable water, or drowning, or dying of heat, disease or malnutrition

Katharine Birbalsingh says of Charlie Kirk: "He was always respectful. On the rare occasions he wasn't, he'd catch himself and rephrase." "Charlie was the best of us." Kirk said gay people should be stoned to death, advocated lynching for LGBTQ people, the shooting of migrants, used violent imagery.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

I really feel for Sex and the City fans who are so disappointed by AJLT. I’d be the same if an inferior sequel was made to my favourite show, This Life. But luckily after two seasons it ended decisively and that was that.

So the reward offered to Israel merely for *partial* compliance with international law is that the UK will continue to deny recognition to a Palestinian state? This is the great Peace Plan that Starmer has served up?

In case you thought Starmer was backtracking on being a total cunt

“Transphobia is not f**cking feminist” Kate Nash's powerful speech during her performance at Glastonbury.

Yvette Cooper is deporting more people violently, using anti-protest laws more draconically and proscribing protest groups for daubing paint. Yet because she’s not doing a Rivers Of Blood speech every week she’s not getting the same pantomime villain treatment as Patel/Braverman. Why is that?

Why is being trans and wanting to go to the loo in peace seen as an ideology but stopping trans people from using the loos in peace is never seen as an ideology 🤔

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

hey, remember all those times in history when persecuted minorities got their rights simply by saying “please help, no worries if not!!”

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

The Facebook DEI 180 switch tells us a key lesson. Zuckerberg was either lying to you about what he believed last year or he’s lying to you today. By either measure he’s a liar. The rest of work shouldn't run to copy him. open.substack.com/pub/makework...

THE BALLAD OF TOM JONES, 1998 Cerys Matthews: “I’ve never thrown my knickers at you” That fella from Space:

Better Man, the Robbie monkey movie: ridiculous, disturbing, funny and quite moving. In the catalogue of Robbie examining fame, addiction and mental health I'd put it on a par with the Netflix doc and the BBC boyband doc. I recommend reading Chris Heath's excellent biographies, Feel and Reveal.

I agree wholeheartedly.
