Once again the government are moving asylum seekers who are members of our congregation, with almost no notice, to cities hours away, and no matter how many times it happens I don't get any less mad.

Just checked and this is real - Scottish Labour’s manifesto refers to trans people using slurs and commits to a policy of explicit segregation in public life

Well at least Viktor Orbán is free to headline Wireless next year.

“Get up, Jeffrey, we’re going to Little St James”

My other Glen Campbell anecdote (from a separate visit to his ranch) involved him handing me a guitar, letting me clang out a few atonal chords on it, and then tell me "that was Elvis's guitar"

The nation demands it

After three good weeks I didn’t think much of this week’s #SNLUK sadly. Can’t stand Jack Whitehall though so it could be that.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

Four weeks in and they haven’t fixed Belgium being missing from the Weekend Update backdrop. It’s all I can see. #SNLUK

(I could’ve sworn she was already dead though)

Oh no! Always liked her in things, just a really *odd* presence. Her brief turn as possibly the devil in ITV’s “Whitechapel”, like Murray Melvin in “Torchwood”, is one of my favourite “great villain, poorly served” roles.

Television are the beatnik Dire Straits. See No Evil and the rest are just about OK. Except for Johnny Jewel which is appalling.

It’s time for my annual “give Television’s Marquee Moon another listen to see if I still don’t get the fuss about it”. Let see how it goes.

I snorted

First of two nights in Shrewsbury tonight for this mad exhausted bastard.

Bistro Bistro Finnish Bistro Beware chatty white men Each one is a thieving bro

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Holy SHIT - La Cabina is getting a Bluray release via @filmsradiance.bsky.social !!

The key part of this, is the UK will gain nothing from this. Trump will still drag Starmer for not immediately falling in line, we’ve lost the respect of our actual allies for once again being Americas lapdog, and Iran will rightfully hate us for bombing them. Typical Starmer to lose on all fronts

Thankfully Trump has climbed down for now. We've seen once again exactly who Keir Starmer & this Labour Government are. Silent - other than the Wireless Festival - even in the face of the US president threatening to wipe out a civilisation. And our UK bases still being used.

Absolute fucking ghouls.

You know what would really impress Jodie Foster right now?

Absolutely fucking extraordinary that this bereft, barely sentient individual is gung ho for banning wankers from gigs, but totally fine with the head of a nuclear power saying "a whole civilisation will die tonight."

the govt grandstanding on kanye west as it meekly enables a world-ending genocide is quintessentially keir starmer's labour

This is just the only ethical position when the US President is enthusiastically advocating civilizational destruction and war crimes, you can't "sensible politics" out of this one

A lot of people need to end up in jail for letting things go this far.

The cynic in me says they were counting on this.

In 2023 the Tory govt admitted it had spent more money fighting rail workers than it would have cost to settle the dispute & now the Labour govt is spending money to beat the resident doctors. Almost as if the priority of successive govts is to defeat organised labour!

Lady Gaga should do an album with Polysics

This is starmers whole thing isn't it Threatens you if you're not doing what he wants Did the same with the doctors strike

Yer da drinks BuzzBalls

Just been reminded that Richard Vernon was 39 years old when he played Man On Train in ‘A Hard Day’s Night’.

The people i’ve come across who uses Ai, even just writing emails with it, regard ANYTHING that involves rolling their sleeves up as an impediment to their real job, which is being listened to by everyone else.

miss the days when the Presidents of the United States of America were only obsessed with peaches

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

MASSIVE fan of this one:

"they faked the death of the world's oldest gay tortoise to scam out bitcoin donations" honestly anyone responsible for me saying that series of words should never see the sun again

this headline hit like a bolt of zeus through the heart. i am Affected. they faked this queer elder's death to fundraise with crimes money

This is the kind of shit Trump would do. Petulant fucking dickheads in charge punishing literally everyone for no reason. Government of Cunts.

Depressing thread. Pre-Musk Twitter was the bollocks.

And in honor of this weekend:

Absolute masterpiece.

My university: "Copilot is Microsoft's AI-powered productivity service that uses large language models (LLMs) to help you create content, analyze information, summarize documents, and complete tasks more efficiently." Microsoft: LOL

Italy have not played a World Cup knockout game in the era of the iPhone. They haven’t played a knockout match since the launch of Netflix’s streaming service. When they last played a knockout match, Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is
