For the heads, the birthplace of Percy/Roberta Kelly, outsider artist and perhaps the first known trans footballer in the UK (under Bill Shankly, no less), can be yours for £80k: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Appreciate @craigcash.bsky.social having Jean and Mel watching a Jonathan Meades documentary on the second episode of Early Doors, if that indeed was his choice

Seeing Life Without Buildings live as a civil and structural engineer but shaking my head the whole time so everyone knows I disagree with their name

I’m afraid any remnants of the Labour left who lumped all their hopes on a Brownite with nice eyelashes have got what was coming here. Anyway, Viz haven’t found room for the letter I sent in October this month. I’m sure they’ll have it in the March issue.

Usual suspects going postal, this time about surrogacy: very bad. Oppose it, they'll keep going further.

Takes me back to a lovely, non-slop muriel at Almaty. Continues to amaze me how we have no ideas for urban space left other than to stream it with streaky goldfish shit

Just the best thing ever made, isn’t it.

In my big shop drag. Tartan jacket, Levi’s chinos, hat I’m not bothered about. I don’t wear these things outside the big shop, bar the chinos (if I’m in the mood for a boring day at the office).

Now they’ve been internationally famous for over a decade and are no longer supporting no-input mixer noise acts at Wharf Chambers, Sleaford Mods have no reason to be so angry and frustrated. Why can’t they put out a tune about a three-legged dog who’s loveable all the same?

Love this place I call home

Here’s you coming down the stairs for Christmas dinner

Thought I'd look up a favourite band from back in the day to see if their stuff's now on Bandcamp or whatever, and this is what I find

Average Bluesky experience

Well done Arthur Hill, who has apparently broken the Bob Graham Round winter rekkerd with a time of 14h 53m 50s! Given the conditions out there, I’m at a loss. Fair to say I’ll never catch up on him again

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.

“Elon Musk’s now a trillionaire,” crowed the loud apprentice today. “Fair play.” I’ve spent the rest of the day wondering what could be less fair than a Yanqui–Boer, Nazi, capitalist dog being the master of over a trillion dollars.

Any journalists interesting in covering/following can DM here or contact me at pdkmitchell at gmail dot com. The most recent BBC and ITV coverage is here (CW: violence, femicide, suicide): www.bbc.com/news/article... www.itv.com/news/tyne-te...

I'm in Nairobi this week for the opening of the inquest into my sister Kate's death here, almost four years ago, which is still very much unsolved. The case has been beset by obstructions and evasions; it's taken us a long time to get this far and there may be more to come.

Terrible that Hapoel fans would attack Maccabi fans, just for being Jews, while Maccabi fans assault Hapoel fans, also just for being Jews.

Haven’t heard the name Barry Hogan since ATP wound up but according to Stewart Lee’s latest podcast appearance he’s now making figurines of him for his mersh tables. Find a better accountant and come back fella, we miss you!

@simonwillison.net afternoon fella, is that private school labeller thing still going? @hrrybtlr.bsky.social has expressed interest in being added

Corbo not migrating members’ data from Sultana’s system because he’s busy spinning his old Fairport cassettes

Only got nine of the 12 questions on the Mastermind Simpsons specialist round >:(

Wind’s knocked off enough leaves on the overhanging tree for me to get BBC2 and C4 on my TV aerial already. Good autumnal progress!

With the reading material I’ve accrued on this bedside table to successively act as relief from the reading that came before it you could create the most slappable adaptation of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

Yank nonsense on bluesky? And it’s distracting us all from the regular yank nonsense?

Our hearts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time.

Fash outnumbered wherever they tried to go at Newcastle today 👍

Shooter probably isn’t a zizian and Jezebel deleted that article. Why is everyone so BORING

No emus where you're going, Jair

This photo maddens me more because what is everything doing in it? What’s Mandy adjusting on his waist? I thought that was a banjo on the table, obviously not? Who’s disrupted their chi with that massive vase? If those are dummies and racks when what sort of clothes shop looks like that? Help!

Yes, Peter Mandelson has made mistakes with his past associations, but without him who’s going to do the hard ambassadorial work of pliantly nodding along to everything the US president has to say?

Some halfwit decided to AI the job roles for our company’s website so it now tells you that senior mechanical engineers must be able to “plant crop”

He’s meeting his allies and doing things alongside them that he fully agrees with.

Anyway, I’m blueskeeting again so while I’m here: “Israel” is committing genocide on behalf of the Great Satan and our government supports it alongside Trump and the former CSA ring he had with Epstein. There cannot be any outlet that ignores or mystifies this.

You can play the Only Connect theme to the Worker & Parasite clip from the Simpsons. With a bit of time dilation here and there sure, but still.

Stick Donny T’s letter to Epstein in Rupi Kaur’s next book and change the names to say Fergus and Cleo and you’re laughing

Every Alcaraz victory in the squillions of matchups we’ll see in the next ten years will be a sliver of justice and joy in this embittered world

Yeah, listening to the audio of his arrest those certainly aren’t the noises of a happy Graham Linehan are they? To think we all assumed he was happily living his truth until now.
