My Mac dictation app has just rendered ‘frenzied women’s libbers’ as ‘frenzied women’s slippers’ which is a whole new level of insult

I’ve received an email from Admin asking me to accept the student supervision spreadsheet as the ‘single source of truth’. I guess that’s the Philosophy and Theology Departments done for.

I think of him at the oddest moments Waiting for my ride to come, Or standing at the sink Washing tea cups, Walking to the mailbox Suddenly he's there Behind my vision Still full of laughter With that mischievous little brother grin. I miss him like a lost cause Or a toothache that comes and goes

Ident on BBC News. "We don't just report the news. We live it." Actually I'd rather you did just report the news. You're not bloody method actors.

If you don’t get the print version, my Tribune article on the Merseyside WLM is now available to read for free online: tribunemag.co.uk/2026/01/the-...

Lovely piece

May your year be blessed with accepts subject to minor corrections.

Starting my Christmas present reading

@sarahdeaves.bsky.social @wildtwin.bsky.social @kmale.bsky.social best card this year

“A priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a blood bank. The rabbit says: I think I might be a type O.” Favourite of the decade by Barry Mulligan

Tottenham v Liverpool match report (tl;dr version) Goal. Frank incensed. Mirth.

So @andrewmale.bsky.social is The Wickerman a Christmas film, is this an embarrassingly late to the table suggestion???

Looks like we’ve got No Salah, No Salah, No Salah running down the wing……

In praise of the colours (and wallpaper) of THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (Jacques Demy, France, 1964). Showing on the big screen at BAC on Thu 11 Dec at 7.30pm www.bridport-arts.com/event/the-um...

Just got the fruit soused…. Afraid it’s more soak up than #StirUpSunday here……

Yes this really *is* Emmeline, Christabel & Sylvia Pankhurst on the wall of the ladies lavatory in a Montreal bar…..

Say what you like about the Carabao Cup, but at least it means no Gary Neville.

Update. He’s asked her to go and pick up his motorbike from Kalymnos harbour. Don’t do it, babe…..

Sitting in a cafe listening to bloke at next table having affectionate conversation on phone. ‘Yes, I am in Kos’ he says. Except we are on Rhodes…

How is York coping without a Duke and Duchess? Will people in York be ok? Are the jobs advertised locally or will they go again to outsiders?

I know for a fact that at least two of you live in Lincoln

Yes I KNOW …… which is why I’m eating in a crap overpriced place fifteen minutes walk from the port…..

Whoever said ‘it’s better to travel hopefully than to arrive’ clearly never came here

And I said, “If you play that riff one more time, Parfitt, I’ll rip your fucking scalp off”

Happy new Taylor album day to all who celebrate

Oh no…..no….no @kmale.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social @wildtwin.bsky.social @andrewmale.bsky.social

He’s SUCH a LAD

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

In an uncertain world there’s always Cat. My holiday romance since 2025. He’s still got it

I feel like this review could really sell some books over here on degenerate liberal Bluesky

If you haven’t read this yet what have you been doing for the last 365 days???

Just a reminder that I own Peter Mandleson’s grandfather’s copy of volume 2 of Capital and the pages are still uncut

Liverpool 1 - Arteta 0. Wrong line-up, wrong attitude, wrong game plan.

So @andrewmale.bsky.social @kmale.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social this is the first time I’ve ever seen speakers in a shop window and thought ‘Ooh I WANT those’ and before you @ me with your tech specs they just look PRETTY don’t care what they sound like

I think the government is about to announce it is joining Destiny's Child.

Charles' expression is reminiscent of a poster for a French film about a woman hiding a secret from the partner they no longer love.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if the Green Party’s six MPs got as much air space as R*form’s four

Letter to Brezhnev on IPlayer…. Still fabulous

Inspired by the collapse of the Berlin wall and end of South African apartheid, a generation of radicals danced onto British roads and into social justice history. Thirty years on, Esther Freeman traces the movement’s energy – and its legacy www.redpepper.org.uk/activism/199...

If this video was all we knew of Nunez, you’d think he was the greatest player in Liverpool history. The peril of highlights. What highlights though.

A lovely evening seeing my work up in London for the first time in a while. So many good pieces in this show at Green & Stone, on til 28 August.

A team that does not know when its beaten

Wild Twn won! @littletollerbooks.bsky.social

I live near a small Pennines town where 50% of the population are therapists, and 50% dog walkers. The dog walkers walk the therapists’ dogs, and then pay for therapy with their earnings. It’s a perfect circular economy.

For anyone who needs to see two cormorants canoodling
