I am so very thankful we have mini magnums.

I find the Norwegian rowing drum thing cringe

❤️

LRB never fails in sharing its bad political takes everything else 👌

I am again pleading for a grand exhibition of British Domestic Interior paintings

Not enough new programming on arts & such by BBC. Far too much of it is “celebrity X does this reading”

The #worldcup trend is showing nothing but Americans analysing the broadcasting of Fox and Telemundo and zero about the actual football

If young people are being taught by society/government messaging/their parents/schools that they won't be able to make a living if they study a humanities subject we are creating a vicious cycle. We must ask who does this messaging serve and why is our society buying into it?

This is unbelievable from my MP. You should know some of us are furious about this. Two years from a general election you do this.

Oh here we go. All those commentators who have spent the last two years failing to actual report what Starmers Gov actual done think now is the time to start. Fucking idiots.

After reading “Second Hand Time” was keen to read Hanna Krall’s work but can’t see it is available published in English? Perhaps you could @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social ? Cheeky I know…

Corruption, coping with uncertainty, hugging trees: this week’s round-up of some of the lesser-known Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

So you seriously not have more useful reporting to do than this? @theguardian.com

Gawd why do Americans do that annoying hand on heart thing due anthem #WorldCup

Appaling reporting here as has consistently been the case from the Guardian on the subject of Burnham. @andrewsparrowgdn.bsky.social more actual reporting of fact and less of this pathetic willing of something which makes you all excited

NEW: The attorney general, Richard Hermer, has told his office to no longer post on X, making it the first UK government department to stop using the Elon Musk-owned platform amid increasing worries about its use to incite violence and racism. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Just when you thought Tony Gallagher couldn’t trash The Times any more than he has. What a sad state of affairs.

I have developed such allergies to British TV Football pundits. Its Shearer today making me want to smash the telly in. #WorldCup

This might be the stupidest thing I have read here

Absolutely crushing we have to get through this #WorldCup with Lee Dixon on comms.

How lovely listening to Kiefer Sutherland on #BBCR4 #ThisCulturalLife The best & real America

Any party campaigning on two issues will get my vote: - reverse brexit - moderate internet, make site responsible for all content published and shared on it no bullshit

Ha ha fair play mr mayor

You have a funny idea of what posts need to go in the “Protests” trending feed @bsky.app @support.bsky.team Its all London chat about Simon Le Bon and art exhibitions?!

letter to the Times today

Once again, I plea for a grand exhibition of British domestic scene paintings 🙏 (no figures though)

Very good.

I get angrier and angrier at Burnham and Streeting 🤬 Completely defenestrated their own government elected with a massive majority.

I am not loving the sinful tune like the rest of you #TOTP

Blair putting on full display what is in many ways his special ability - to lay out a political argument grounded in his own view of global trends (globalisation in the 2000s, tech in the 2020s). But… institute.global/insights/pol...

What on earth is DK on about “Andy Burnham could be the next Mark Carney” I can not think of someone least like Mark Carney

Five can not mime. Even by #TOTP standards.

Dancing on stage has not evolved one bit. Like fashion. Fashion has not evolved. We are stuck in the turn of the millenium. #TOTP

Please can you all explain the tin of paint reference #TOTP

Your very wise Jenny luv

Anthony Seldon made zero sense in this episode. Stated that what is required someone with authority who actually achieved something, like Carney, even if they did not have “charismatic flair of Johnson & Farage” Starmer had achieved alot (of a very difficult nature) prior to being elected1/2

BEING HAPPY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE

"And finally...senior Labour MPs have announced today they'd rather not be in power at all than follow the party leader they chose and who the people also voted for as Prime Minister. Because having 5 leaders in 8 years worked really well for their predecessors, didn't it. The festering bell ends."

Can you all get your shit together behind the PM who was elected on a landslide AND FOCUS ON GOVERNING @stellacreasy.bsky.social

Rayner can fuck right off.

An afterword is better than a foreword in a book.

You would say that as I don’t think you know anything about Manchester and the North West region it sits in Jim. It has become the London of the 90s - sucking the life out of the wider northern towns and region surrounding it in a very negative way.

I have zero confidence in any UK Political News coverage. Impossible to get facts.

All because of online discourse: blow up the internet

Why do we have Amanda Knox on WATO ? UK listeners don’t need to hear her endless complaining and self promotion on whats supposed to a News programme. #WATO #BBC

Nothing like an American condescending us all about State execution.

Its not a handful. The Green Party has welcomed the Corbyn faction from Labour. It’s not a society wide problem, it is a problem of a specific political faction - which is why despite facing the most appalling PM in 2019 election UK voters still did not elect Corbyns Labour.

Lots of insular political writers who spend all their time sharing their individual opinions (which are more often than not wrong) objecting to others doing the same. Zzz Zzz Zz Zzzzzzz

Amol Rajan in Celebrity Traitors. No thank you.

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.
