MC Hammer was a proper hard core gang banger. Took no shit. #totp

JC claims that, each of the three times he was on #totp he wasn’t wearing underpants. Let that sink in.

Interviewed Charli Baltimore when she came over on this trip. Don’t think I’ve thought about her since then. #totp

Who thought a keytar was cool in 1998? #totp

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

It’s extraordinary that Biden’s main weaknesses were inflation and cognitive decline and now America has inflation and cognitive decline as well as tariffs, authoritarianism, blatant corruption, etc

I’m a Manchester United supporter. I’ve worked in sports media, managed some of the biggest football podcasts and been responsible for whole station’s podcast output. But I just can’t be bothered with the incessant drama around football any more. Hardly consume any of the crap that comes with it 1/🧵

One of Trump's biggest financial supporters, Timothy Mellon, is obsessed with Earhart .... hence this. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/28/u...

Opinion | In his commitment to creating a show that puts clickbait and ad sales ahead of public service, he is teaching the rest of the media an important lesson. The great fear is that they learn something from it 🖋 @nickfthilton.bsky.social Read more: trib.al/JbsdMhl

My favourite Jon Lucien track - purely for his brilliant pronunciation of ‘leisure’ as ‘leeeesure’, which totally throws the rhyme scheme all to cock. And he just doesn’t care.

I'm giving away this signed 1st edition h/b of my new novel (it has a tiny jacket rip which means I wouldn't sell it) to one person who reposts this. You might like it if you like: Folkloric creatures Old records Intricate psychedelic stories The idea of circular time All shares much-appreciated.

You *could* listen to a podcast that somehow fails to acknowledge me or my book. But if you value actual research and proper journalism, you can read the definitive account of EMI and Terra Firma here. (Hem hem.) uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I should point out that these are my responses to the book. D’s writing is entertaining and even handed throughout. Blame posting before coffee. Also; If he consumed all the mad (and no doubt overwrought) media referenced in the book, how his mind’s not rotted competely is a miracle.

Finally got round to @dorianlynskey.bsky.social’s excellent history of the ways mankind has been convinced the world will end. First three quarters of the book; weirdly optimistic. Last bit; “Oh my God! What are we doing? We’re all going to die!” #conflicted

Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

"Eamonn Mullally's wife snags top job."

Rats. In a sack.

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl. He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

EXCLUSIVE: BrewDog has announced it has sold its 'Lost Forest' after 250,000 of the trees it planted on the Scottish estate died

Tommy Robinson will be organising a mass protest any time now. ..just wait... ..here it comes... ..

I've just sent an email to the Forfeiture Committee saying they must remove Michelle Mone's title for profiteering during a pandemic. How many British lives did her actions cost? You might like to send an email if you feel the same way. See below.

Reform UK have quietly reinstated the councillor that threatened the Prime Minister (and WAY more), without explanation. northumberland.moderngov.co.uk/mgUserInfo.a... hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/19/s...

There is a...magnificence...to this

This feels like it should be an important story; but so many stories feel like this these days. www.insideworldfootball.com/2025/09/29/u...

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to taking bribes from Russia to make pro Russian statements. Richard Tice - Deputy Leader of Reform: I have never met Nathan Gill and he has nothing to do with Reform. Well ok then…

Did Bobby Womack make any other records apart from ‘Across 110th Street’? Asking for @6music.bsky.social

Love that the stage crew were trying to obscure UKIP Read in dry ice, while Gary Numan was … on video. #totp

Best Police song. No discussion necessary. #totp

Oh, you nutty boys. So beautiful. #totp

Where every other male in my generation had *feelings*, I was left cold. #totp

Beastie Boys not giving a shit. Perfect. #totp

I hope Jo Whiley has just broken out in a cold sweat. #totp

Because it’s no longer about news, it’s about cross-promotion of LBC and their social media Welcome to radio (or what used to be radio) in 2025

Good luck in Derry, lads!

Trump’s would be assassin just been found guilty by a Florida jury. I dunno, this sounds like a much better way to settle court cases

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

A fantastic example of ‘will this do?’ journalism from Mark Lawson, basically listing stars, tx time, and something else happening that year. Take a bow son, take a bow. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Poland's statement to Russia at the UN. "If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or 'by mistake', and gets shot down, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned." ~AA

Predictable spin on today’s ugly announcement from our fash-hungry media.

Tommy Robinson is a journalist in much the same way that a hamster is a bicycle.

Oh, and Thom Yorke as well. Yes, you’ve got a gotch eye. Get over it mate. #totp
