Crossroads 1981: New Musical Express? Records? 🤔 We've got a plot about that! Space Commander Travis 2.0 is on the phone to Chris Hunter and says "ciao!" because he's a dead hip music biz type and has a cunning plan...

What the fuck is this bullshit from the Supreme Court? What the fuck has gone wrong there? Why the fuck isn't this government responding with one-sentence amending laws to overturn this type of crap?

Just rereading Williams’ “Television: Technology and Cultural Form” and in 1974 he essentially predicts not just Netflix, but the streamer wars, and what the streaming systems will leave out. Which is irritating. We were told, people!

The EHRC is no longer fit for purpose as it continues to carve up rights and disenfranchise all of those it was set up to protect. Labour complacent in this and should be thoroughly ashamed. Too busy sucking up to the right.

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

Three hours after this was posted, the Supreme Court began the process of eroding the protected characteristics of disabled people, just as DR UK predicted. The Equality Act is being gutted before our eyes and the Labour party — who created it — are complicit.

Chazza shop finds: John Barry and Ennio Morricone scores. Yes, please. Cleaned the sleeves and the vinyl. View to A Kill playing perfectly and there are some lovely cues among the Barry Bond motifs.

Chat with GP. She’s as frustrated as me about response from consultant I spoke to at second endoscopy. His retort about my high markers, that blood tests for coeliacs are unreliable was unhelpful when point was (with MRI scan) to deduce if I had a rarer form of coeliac. She’s going to respond asap.

“Is this what this ruling has done?” Yes, it is. It’ll get worse. Maybe The Guardian and the other lickspittle media will now see their own hypocrisy.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/12/ive-been-spat-on-gender-non-conforming-women-tell-of-toilet-abuse-in-aftermath-of-supreme-court-ruling

Particularly brilliant line from one of Julia's routinely brilliant reviews: Tip Toe is "...a single, low drone note of destiny played on a harmonium, persistent in the background while the melody trips and dances over the top."

It's Pride Month. So I shall state my position clearly: Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. All Trans identities are perfectly valid. No word of man or god will convince me otherwise.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

A gardening morning, sorted out front, propped up sea kale which is full of honey scented flowers but often falls over it’s so heavy. Weeding half done but mindful of only doing a few hours as I tire easily. Patch’s dad brought us a lovely pink calla lily as a thanks for looking after #notourcat.
