I think we’ve now safely reached saturation point with #Ashes preview cricket podcasts. #AUSvENG

I guess one good thing that may come out of today’s events is that if there are any reasonable / intelligent people left who still actually read the Telegraph, now realise what a truly awful rag it is.

This is absolutely nuts Trump did incite the January 6 riot. Splicing a video to make that point is shoddy editorial but hardly a resignation event When BBC is needed more than ever, Telegraph/Boris Johnson running the show www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

This evening’s episode is a must listen. An excellent summary what the right wing media are allowed to get away with compared to everyone else.

Beginning to think my complaint to the BBC about going on about Taylor Swift all the time may be considered low priority now …

Pleased to see #Pluribus is as brilliant as you’d expect from anything by Vince Gilligan.

Full concert footage appearing on YouTube of all the recent #Radiohead gigs, and now I’m worried I don’t have enough time in my life to watch them all.

Tuned in a bit early to watch Football Focus and now fascinated by this bonkers Lady Mayor’s Show on BBC1.

Pretty sure I was the youngest person at the Boomtown Rats gig tonight by at least 20 years (and I’m nearly 50). Quality performance.

Everyone including the journos who keep sharing that West Australian cover page are simply doing exactly what that rag intended i.e. giving them the free publicity that they wanted. #Ashes

#Radiohead have cleverly changed their setlists over their first 2 nights, which is more than Oasis have managed in their entire tour so far.

All these 5 star reviews in the papers this morning about the opening night of the @radiohead.wastehq.social tour in Madrid yesterday are making me both happy and sad. #Radiohead

Another great evening at @mcrlitfest.bsky.social tonight with the wonderful Zadie Smith. #MLF25

The arrival of this beauty made up for the usual Monday madness at work. #Radiohead

I don’t know what the Halloween version of Scrooge is but I’ve now bolted the front gates and disconnected the doorbell …

One of those ideal Sundays in Manchester. The brilliant @kathyburke.bsky.social in the afternoon at Bridgewater Hall, followed by @nickofferman.bsky.social tonight at Factory International.

A new low for @mancity.com … now on the same amount of points as Utd.

Rare to see a @radiohead.wastehq.social interview so always welcome to see. This is a great read. #Radiohead www.thetimes.com/article/db10...

Sounds like her clock didn’t go back just the one hour last night. More like 50 years.

Finally decided I don’t need to be hoarding every magazine I’ve ever bought. Hadn’t realised some of my copies of @privateeyenews.bsky.social go back as far as this …

Turned on the cricket. Both Mark Waugh and David Warner on commentary. The pain you have to endure sometimes as a cricket fan. #AUSvIND

Regrettably I found myself looking at that other social media site this morning, and it seems a hundred times more gruesome than the last time I looked at it 6 months ago.

Can’t take this news item seriously as all I can see is Johnny Mercer’s hair issues.

Gianni Infantino hoping that ballroom will be ready in time for the World Cup so he can have the first dance with Trump.

Never get bored of a 66/6. #BANvWI

I see Halloween starts early tonight on #BBCQT.

NEWS! Brexiter annoyed by people pointing out that thing they were told 'would happen' is now 'happening' buff.ly/dFYLBNh

New ballroom plans at the White House and now this #Strictly news. Is there a link?

Brace yourselves for hours of needless coverage about some presenters leaving a dancing show …

Respect to anyone who has chosen to watch this futile match including all the rain breaks. #NZvENG

Mark Waugh always sounds like he’s been woken up and forced to contractually mumble something about what he can see, before returning to slumber. #AUSvIND

This article was worth reading for this paragraph alone. #CovidInquiry www.thetimes.com/article/fdb6...

I really didn’t think #TronAres was as bad as the critics made out, but maybe that’s cos I treated it as an extended music video with its banging soundtrack by @nin.com.

For all the criticism aimed at the current government, a helpful reminder just how bad it used to be. #CovidInquiry

Always enjoy a podcast transcript that goes wrong. To clarify, it should have said “Carey’s edged it … “. #bbccricket

Hoping playing away at Villareal and Villa both in the next week doesn’t confuse Pep too much. #mcfc #ManCity

Great to hear from the legendary documentary photographer Martin Parr at @mcrlitfest.bsky.social #MLF25

Perth, please get this rain all out the way before the real stuff starts in about 4 weeks. #AUSvIND #Ashes

Fascinating interview with İlkay Gündoğan. Sounds like an intelligent guy and definitely a future manager in the making. @theathleticfc.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Always good when something that I had high expectations for delivers the goods. #InsideNo9 #StageFright is a must-see.

Just catching up on Gavin Williamson’s evidence at the #CovidInquiry this week. (Yep, that’s how I spend my spare time … ) As comical as some of his answers were, at least he owned up to the fact lots of errors were made, in a way Hancock never did.

The farce of the monarchy in a nutshell.

The Martin Scorsese documentary series is as brilliant as I’d hoped it would be. #MrScorsese

Early warning for the masochists out there … #CovidInquiry

Still resisting seeing the new Tron film after all its awful reviews, even though I can’t stop listening to its brilliant soundtrack.

Great review. Highly recommend seeing this before it ends this week.

Not often Marina Abramović premieres a groundbreaking new art installation down the road, so I went 100% on it over the last few days. Artist talk, preview, opening night, after show, and a behind the scenes visit. Probably one of the best (and slightly bonkers) things I’ve ever seen.

The best bit of that David Warner clip is the silence in the room after his ‘joke’, punctuated by his own misguided laughter.

Fascinating and fun evening at the RNCM to hear from Ben and Ollie from the brilliant @ledbydonkeys.org as part of @mcrlitfest.bsky.social #MLF25

I’m assuming there must be some sort of critical mass of flags that they believe at which point all the brown people will just magically disappear?
