‘Few small beers’ is one of the greatest line deliveries in cinematic history. Literally etched on my brain.

Mine is performatively saying ‘excuse me’ when I am stalked along a narrow pavement and then nudged past without acknowledgment. I don’t even walk slowly. Just say I’m in the way and I will happily move ffs!

Carlisle United’s Nacho Novo

Mostly concerned what this means for GB at the WBC. Don’t let us down Nats!

Ollie Pope is merely a Gen Z Mark Ramprakash. Awful stuff. #Ashes

Lot of championship rings on that stage. And also Aaron Judge.

My most Boomer opinion is that this is genuinely a tragic way to experience live music. You cannot surrender to music if you are videoing it.

the best album of 2025 is Slayer’s 1986 classic “Reign In Blood”

A playlist for curry lovers… 🎵 It’s My Chapati (and I’ll Cry If I Want To) 🎵 Jalfrezi Little Thing Called Love 🎵 Paneer There and Everywhere 🎵 Knockin on Heaven’s Tandoor 🎵 Don’t Peschwari, Be Happy 🎵 Naan, I Feel Like a Woman 🎵 Poppadom Preach 🎵 Tears On My Pilau 🎵 Paperback Raita 🎵 Nessun Korma

That is an absolutely ludicrous decision. What the hell is the ref doing? #MUNEVE

‘Skid block’. Good luck to anyone trying to explain to me why this is a real sport #F1 #Formula1

Some batting from Head this. Fair play. #TheAshes

Not to get all winsome and nostalgic as an aging millennial but no Ashes opening will ever top Harmy’s wide. Stayed up with a mate and we both just fell about laughing. Iconic.

Made the point earlier that Mani played on two all time great records by two different bands - The Stone Roses and Xtrmntr by Primal Scream. Just clocked that Kevin Shields and Bobby Gillespie managed the same with that second album. Pretty mad.

Sleeping Shepherd, by Titian, 1500–10

you're wrapping up your meet-and-greet with Pope Leo XIV. as you shake his hand for the photo op, you surprise him with a Birminghamton Rumble Ponies Spicy Meatballs On-Field Cap. His Holiness accepts with grace, but you are struck with a bone-deep revelation he just asked God to send you to Hell

AMERICA, I'm going to bed now. If you're doing baseball again tonight, can you please have it done by the time I wake up, the other morning was weird, cheers x

All these people avoiding m-dashes because “AI uses them” simply means that there’s more for me!

ROOFMAN - Hell of a fun time. Channing Tatum is amazing and should be in everything. Kirsten Dunst magical as his foil. Top, top film.

Welcome to Dorktown Mayor, Shohei Ohtani

The GOAT. Just absolutely ridiculous.

Living in UK has aspects that are way better than US (NHS, no guns) but on the flip side you can’t watch October baseball live and the sun sets at 2:30 in the afternoon in the winter.

Laughed at him the whole way through. Absolute hoot. #CelebrityTraitors

Loved this piece on the enduring, singular brilliance of Rachel's from Alex Deller. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Baseball is the best because a guy who looks like this and wears this kinda tee can be the best player in the American League.

More colored liquid No scent, no skin More stained paper More parts per million Just an absolutely brilliant song.

Our method: 1. Put cat bed in corner to be ignored for a year. 2. Live through global pandemic requiring home working. 3. Reluctantly install desk in said corner after 6 months of procrastinating. 4. Marvel as said bed and corner instantly become desirable territory. 5. Have feet scratched lots

One of the great acting performance of all time IMO. Two hours on screen alone, about four lines of dialogue. Totally bleak and utterly riveting. I think about it all the time, and it was my instant thought upon hearing yesterday's news. What a final act.

This is a picture of Uncle Computer from ‘The Bear’.

Hard to look past hardcore bands for me. Greg Puciato, Keith Buckley, Jeremy Bolm, Brendan Garrone, George Clark all on my list. Think Karen O, Tunde Adebimpe and Hayley Williams are all good shouts. I think MMJ count, so Jim James is in. Guy Garvey from Elbow too, IMO.

🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶

Man United? The international T-shirt brand?

Yanited LOL

A smidge away from one of my most enduring ADHD stim phrases/ear worms: ‘Why can’t I walk down a street/Cat’s Protection’

Goodness. Just a sentence that keeps getting worse. Some of the rankest vibes of all time.

Great interview and a perfect way to remember one of the most prodigiously brilliant musicians of the era. Just an incredible, mind-bending, unique talent. RIP

Stephen's ongoing nemesis of the new HBO Potter reboot is one of my favourite things on the internet. Also - even allowing for VFX supported re-sizing - Nick Frost looks absolutely ridiculous cosplaying as Robbie Coltrane.

The Clash. I’m just like, y’know it’s _fine_. And then the dub reggae stuff lands and I actively hate it.

Absolute rubbish

Sadly couldn't make @mogwai.scot last night, but remembering Reading 2001 when @plasmatron.bsky.social said "this is our last song" after 30 mins & we were a bit "wtf?" and then they played My Father My King and... SOMEONE RECORDED IT!! Goosebumps listening back: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyN6...

Not surprising that the person who made a film as offensively bad as Saltburn would do this. Not spoken about enough how bad that movie was. On every level. A stupid, offensive story and a drab, lifeless and poorly made film.

Really terrific listen. Gareth is a great talker, Niall is a great interviewer and the subject matter is fascinating. More than got a soft spot for Prievidza now.

Foos must pay well, because having seen NIN recently this is like trading being in King Crimson for a local pub band. Maybe he just wants a doss? Win-win for NIN and Josh Freese though.

@martycricket.bsky.social enjoying you and Mark chatting about Durham's night life. By my era (2002-2005) Rixy's on North Road was officially called 'DH1', but only ever known as Rixy's. Remain mentally scarred by Klute. Then Sunderland midfielder and Durham resident Jason McAteer was a regular.

The Mets hitting coach is the drummer from Neutral Milk Hotel?

take down all the other plaques. this is the hall of fame now

Chuck Mangione and Dock Ellis celebrate opening Day at Yankee Stadium, 1977.

What on earth is this shootout?! #SWEENG

I think it’s time for the entire Jomboy collective to do a lot less talkin’
