This is just lovely, sounds like a brilliant space.

When somebody asks about the journalist you had murdered, probably best not to look at the metaphorical blood on your hands.

Great Scot!

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no. This is quite something. metro.co.uk/2025/11/18/w...

A 6hour set from Dusky? Yes please. soundcloud.com/duskymusic/t...

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Hey Siri, can you concoct a story involving the two people in the world I care least about, thanks

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

New on the blog it's Barry Sidings Cafe - they're serving tasty burgers in a beautiful south Wales country park. gourmetgorro.blogspot.com/2025/10/barr...

Glad it's back in some form, though criminally underwatched. youtu.be/jlbdAMw68KE?...

Ok, ok, I know... but I like him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=beBL...

Same, just finished, it's a very strong series, would heartily recommend. Mare of Eastown vibes.

I'm not 100% surprised, but this is pretty bleak.

A story in three parts

Weekend #nfl highlights from Jason and Osi on @nflukire.bsky.social. It never disappoints. youtube.com/watch?v=0LZH...

Just played a football tournament in a gravel pit. We won 3-2 on aggregate.

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan? SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

Labour to launch 'Send the Frackers Packing' campaign against pro-fracking Reform UK in shale gas areas This is bloody excellent. Well done Ed Miliband. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Ok ok, I really didn't know the backstory of Proper Job, I've really undervalued its place in UK/US beer. Quality read from @atjbeer.bsky.social in @pelliclemag.com this.

Coffee

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Team Europe trolling Trump after winning The Ryder Cup 🤣💀

Hurray!!!! #rydercup

Sports news

Are you watching Donald Trump!? Haha, suck it. #rydercup

Team Europe retains the Ryder Cup 🏆

Also, haha suck it America, maybe your president can get the TV companies to cancel the golf too...? #rydercup #golf

Lads, I think Ange might be a pile of guff. I mean, this isn't a surprise. #nffc

Won't the Magical Grandpa catch a break?

Fucking pathetic

Yep, and we knew it already, but god Ange is such a downgrade on Nuno #nffc

"And this is a gift from my brother, he says he took it at one of your parties"

You’ll no doubt consume a fair amount of football content today but nothing as important and powerful as this: Roman Kemp speaking to Paul MacInnes for @theguardian.com on how the sport can help prevent suicide. Please read. And please share. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Fly him here, he can get to work on the motorway bridges

Patient: so, do you think me being hard of hearing has contributed to my bird phobia? Doctor: maybe a smidgen. Patient: WHAT?!? WHERE?!?

Annnnnnggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Oh my.

Oh Forest

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

If you press the bottom of the cylinder, her legs collapse

Here's something brought back from the mists of time, and it's still great. Give it a read.

Yes, Rayner should be held to account, and it's right that she's stepped down. Yes, every other person in Parliament should be held to the same standard. So let's start looking, eh, press? Maybe the rich, male, upper class ones?

"There is not a free speech crisis in the UK. Keir Starmer has not shut down GB News," Ruskin says. Farage seems "most at home with the autocrats and dictators of this world", he adds. If he's serious about the Online Safety Act, he should be in parliament, he says, not here.

😔

Really good, intelligent response. I'm Green-curious, I voted Green last time round (and have a Green MP), but I do worry that if Greens take a big bite out of Labour then we'll get Nigel. Hopefully this brings some much-needed perspective to the debate.

Well played.

SHORK EMOJI REVIEW @gingertotty.bsky.social !!!

Often mistaken for a middle-class Oxbridge graduate, much to his annoyance. In fact a great champion of working-class talent, and supporter of what we're trying to do. This interview seems to have pleasantly surprised a few people, hope you enjoy it:

Dismal, depressing day. And yet No10 will give a ready quote on some passing celeb fad.

This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...
