'Fuck off, I've paid.' Man after my own heart.

Let us salute the rogue genius of Desmond Morris, ape-watcher and last of the Surrealists, gone at 98. Here he is, less than 2 years ago, with his Man Ray tribute work - the photographic lips are those of Diana Dors, whom he dated in the 40s when she was still Diana Fluck.

RIP Nathalie Baye

Men without irony in the comments saying “That’s called popesplaining”

In which Melanie Phillips explains Catholicism to the Pope. The article is complete, offensive nonsense from beginning to end. Like Scooby Doo trying to explain Maimonides. The Times really is an abject rag these days. www.thetimes.com/article/2123...

"No-one can erase the days we left behind..." Lovely, melancholy new tune from Paul McCartney, premiered just now on BBC Merseyside. Nice feeling of a shared experience hearing it. We need to treasure these times, while we've still got him.

It’s the 98th anniversary today of the birth of Victor Maddern, described in his Telegraph obituary as having “one of the most distinctive and eloquent faces in post-war British cinema”. They add that one of his many roles took a while to get right...

#RIP Country Joe McDonald 📷 Country Joe & the Fish by Art Kane, 1968 “Country Joe and The Fish are among rock's leading abstract artists. Their first album, ‘Electric Music for the Mind and Body,’ represents the best of San Francisco rock. It is the major album of head music.” - Mike Jahn

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

If you think public spaces can be hostile for women now, wait until every man can use their Meta facial recognition glasses to identify any woman they see, slide instantly into their DMs, and then get mad when they don't instantly and positively respond. Burn this company to the ground.

Kenneth Williams reads The Wind in the Willows youtu.be/VmZXCwS7suU?...

The inimitable #KennethWilliams was #BOTD 100 years ago today! Best known for his appearances in the Carry On films, he also appeared in many British radio comedies & TV shows with his signature nasal voice and exaggerated expressions. What are your memories of Kenneth?

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre. She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s. Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

There's something happening here...

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Oh no. This is really sad news. What a talent. people.com/catherine-oh...

"Chains" is a R & B song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was a hit for the American girl group the Cookies in 1962, which inspired @thebeatles to record the song for their debut album in 1963.

So grateful for the women that the world came to know as The Cookies. RIP Margaret Ross Williams 1942 - 2026 thebluemoment.com/2026/01/26/r...
