Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Who are your top 10 all time favourite bassists? Real quick off the top of my head… David J Gail Ann Dorsey Mick Karn Gaye Advert Robbie Shakespeare Kim Deal JJ Burnel Jah Wobble Doug Wimbish Geordie Walker

Let's fucking go.

New on the Radio2 playlist, this would have been a banger of a 2026 UK Eurovision entry had a certain country and lead sponsor both been booted out. For all I care, they can send Far Right Says Fred. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvT6...

My beloved saw his dad off today. I said I couldn't go because of mobility shit ahead of being banned by the Evil Stepfamily. He did a fucking fantastic job and I am so proud of him.

Treated myself to a few bits of comfy clothing that's smart enough to leave the house in, and managed to give myself a really annoying José Feliciano festive earworm into the bargain........ FLEECE ADIDAS! FLEECE ADIDAS! #CrapGoth

it's everywhere 🤮

British Quakers are refusing room bookings from terfs as policy. If you were waiting for an org to stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and unflinchingly withstand bullying and lawfare, here you go, friends. Good luck to the raging bigots, they'll get nowhere with threats.

Bastille doing a great Jo Whiley Sofa Session this evening, but their cover of Fairytale of New York proves it's impossible to sing Shane's bit without a Fauxrish accent magnet. New/silent lyrics caught them out so they also left the arse out, and the arse even gets an airing on breakfast radio!

Meanwhile… “…On Census Day, 21 March 2021, there were 1.5 million unoccupied dwellings in England and 120,450 in Wales…” “…Of the 1,507,100 unoccupied dwellings in England in 2021, it is estimated that 89.7% were truly vacant and 10.3% were second homes…” www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

Wes Streeting on the news with a fresh haircut making him look, more than ever, like a Funko Pop of himself

I think this statement sums up the horror Bondi and the horror of the world succinctly

Fanny Pads.

This is so sad but well done to Robin Ince, who is the best of us, and an absolute diamond. That's another show that will be removed from my diminishing list of BBC 'must listens' if it continues after his resignation.

Absolutely chuffed to have won a @jambookshopuk.bsky.social pencil sketch in the annual @skullsandsheets.bsky.social Mari Lwyd charity auction. Isn't she beautiful? Thank you to anyone who bidded on my linocut, it's really appreciated.

Martin Parr, absolute mensch. From Colin Wilkinson, founder of Bluecoat Press, on FB

Queen Bjork demanded a boycott and, lo, there was a boycott. Well done Iceland. Portugal next! #Eurovision

"Israels broadcaster said they feel the attempt to remove them [from Eurovision] amounts to a cultural boycott" Yep that's exactly what it is. And alongside a cultural boycott of Israel there should be a sporting boycott, an academic boycott, and more! Back BDS

Bidding has now reached £230 and won’t end until Sunday evening 9 pm UK time.

It is very obvious who knows the score here. Read the comments!

A Prince of the Realm has recently been stripped of his public status in its entirety so shrugging and saying 'sorry, nothing we can do guv!' in relation to senior police officers found culpable of gross misconduct is neither acceptable nor convincing.

When I was in 6th Form, one of these was installed in a newly partitioned room in the school library. Only boys doing Maths and at least one Science at A Level were allowed to use it. They had to wear lab coats.

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

Bidding is now open on the annual Mari Lwyd charity auction. My mounted linocut is here - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15749014...

Paddy O'Connell covering Liza Tarbuck's show is one up from Keaveny covering, even if he's a darling.

Delighted to be speaking at this charity concert at Wembley in March. Tickets on sale 10am Tuesday! Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Absolute gold! Hooting and wallowing in nostalgia. ❤️👏

Maybe no one heard me, 20% off sale on happytoast.co.uk today and all weekend. Hell, I'll include commissions in that too.

...and since my competition for UK Hammer horror fans proved way too difficult this morning, I'll make it easy to get your hands on a 4K restored version of The Horror of Frankenstein + book and posters. Just repost this message and I'll pick a winner this weekend. film-authority.com/2025/11/25/t...

Anyone who has seen the transformative effect international students have had on cities like Sheffield knows what Smith is saying is absolute bobbins!

2.7 million people who qualify for Universal Credit are in work, but receive such a low income that tax payers need to pay them enough to survive. It's not people on benefits who are freeloading off us, it is businesses paying their workers too little. #wealthtax #realwages #workersunite #joinaunion

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

Morrissey, somehow managing to be a more ridiculous version of Stewart Lee’s ‘These days if you say you’re English’ parody

I am proper hooting! 👏😄

Two nights on the trot of dreams about smoking and, even though I told the person giving me ciggys in last night's dream that he stank, I'd quite like that crowded pub cigs dream thing asleep again overnight. 6 years since I stopped, wouldn't go back but nostalgia.

So peculiar that my beloved's father (with dementia) rang because he is now confused by Children In Need because why is it needed? He was an executive in a large Met City Council from the 60s. My beloved's swerve was to put him on to the huge Tutankhamun documentary on 5.

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true. It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately. If you’re looking for #Christmas cards and gifts please have a look at my website. gailmyerscough.co.uk A repost would be lovely too.

happy epstein thermonuclear launch day to all who celebrate

Well they could have given it bigger feet for a start! 😄

All the different shades of 'goldique' is what really makes it for me and I can't wait until the day we see it all ripped down. #Can'tBuyClass

Not a single word of this is untrue though.
