This was the very first draft proposal I ever got for a first-ever Tom Robinson website from my mate Paul Boyd in Toronto. Sometime around 1994. He suggested the cleverly ambiguous name "Castanet"...

Had fondly imagined this was a satire comparing MAGA with National Socialism in 1930s Germany. Turns out it's real - far right supporters are actually making, buying and wearing these in present day Germany, in tribute to Trump 😱

"Christmas morning was always tense at the Schrödingers" Cartoon by Viluissimo - from the current Xmas issue of @priveteye.bsky.social

So very sorry to hear of Chris Rea's passing. A fine artist & genuinely big-hearted human being. We first met in 1974 when he and my first band were managed by Teesside legend John McCoy. By 1994 Chris was an international star but played on my album Love Over Rage as a favour for a penniless mate.

"So we asked ourselves: how could we make the common bicycle heavier, more dangerous and, ultimately, reliant on electricity" From @privateeyenews.bsky.social No.1662 - on newsstands now.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

This literally made me laugh out loud this morning www.instagram.com/reel/DRFLjdo...
