Well at least Trump didn't make his eulogy for Jesse Jackson all about himself. Oh.

It's funny how the totally independent DoJ press releases these days sound exactly like Donald J Trump.

I've only just noticed these socks are labelled for which way round they should be on and now I realise I've gone full Jimmy Cricket

I mean obviously he shouldn't have shared it but is anyone else wondering why on earth here he had access to Treasury documents in the first place?

It's such a relief that Trump has been able to reverse climate change. And so quickly too. He's the bestest.

I remember people saying this sort of thing about Gordon Brown. "He's great in private" "He's really charismatic one-on-one". But it's no use when the skill set required is to come across well to millions of people at once.

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite MARIO: Thank-a you! C: Just one more thing. Now you say your girlfriend, the Princess, was kidnapped by Bowser, your enemy. And yet you were go-karting with him this morning? M: What’s-a your point, Detective?

Why did Constantinople get the works?

I deleted my post from before… I thought it was fake So I went to WH Smith and here it is An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

The untold story that is told constantly and isn’t really true

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

Just caught up with this excellent @smershpod.com from @johnrain.co.uk w John Thomson talking about a 1978 Richard Burton film that scared the bejeezus out of me when I saw it aged 11 on Granada's "Murder Mystery Suspense" strand c1987. The Medussa Touch. Well worth a listen. pca.st/episode/ca31...

Yeah today. But fuck knows what he'll think and say tomorrow. His support on anything is worth far, far less than that of previous presidents for that reason. And the whole world now understands that. As a result the USA's soft power has plummeted and will probably never fully recover.

The thing is there has been this tendency in the last few years for leaders to have not been in the Commons for very long before they become party leader. Starmer had only been an MP for 5 years when he became leader. Sunak 7. This is unusual historically. 1/

This is definitely worth a listen to. I remember Joanne's pick Fax very well. A rare TV outing for Merseyside radio legend Billy Butler.

I wonder if at the funeral service when the casket starts moving towards the curtains someone amongst the mourners will shout out "Where's the coffin goin'?!"

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

As #pickofthepops plays music from 1993 in this hour, don't forget to tick off any songs you hear on the Now 24 bingo card.

He needs to resign. From whatever he hasn't already resigned from.

He told Epstein that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon should “threaten” chancellor Alistair Darling over the tax. A year later, Mandy was seeking work with JPMorgan. Top journalism by @pickardje.bsky.social

That's a strange way to spell "Batshit Crazy". More sanewashing of Trump's actions here.

Just spotted an anachronistic error in Ashes to Ashes. The episode is set in 1982 and Gene Hunt sarcastically refers to a man on hunger strike as "Skeletor". But He-Man and his nemesis only became widely popular (enough to be known by a middle-aged copper) with the Filmation animated series in 1983.

Cooee! @romanbathsbath

I've already left old Durham town and it was fine so Roger Whittaker can fuck off

I'd forgotten just how good some of the individual storylines in Life on Mars are. I've been rewatching out for the first time since it was first on. S1e4 about police corruption is beautifully written and paced. And it's the first time you properly see the depth of the character of Gene Hunt.

Run out of spoons today. *Now* I get it.

You'd have to work pretty hard to find a set of lines better constructed than this

Is this an example of an "eggcorn"? The author surely meant "fomented" but "fermented" still sort of works I think. What do you reckon?

I was interested to see they made no apology/warning in the continuity announcement despite the fact that one of the characters describes Manuel as a "Dago"!

Try as I might, I can't get Reform to answer a simple question about their candidate in the Caerphilly by-election Llyr Powell. When did he last have contact with Nathan Gill, the party's former leader in Wales who has admitted taking Russian bribes? willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/why-cant-r...
