I love the pass-agg tone of this. It's our fault, apparently, for not understanding how this CGI glove puppet has won all our hearts.

Hey USA! Like freedom of speech do ya? Here's our leading home-brewed national satirical magazine El Jueves! And yes, of course I got a copy!

That’s one hell of a cover…..

I wonder if he tells the story about Pope Francis being so horrified by him that he died the next day.

There are a lot of countries that allow birthright citizenship, but there is only one stupid enough to make you president.

Classic Pop Magazine peruses what it calls "the legends" of Talk Talk's sorely missed late lamented frontman Mark Hollis

From just about 40 years ago — Lou Reed's anti-crack PSA.

This is tremendous: @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social chews the fat with @marcheenware.bsky.social, wonderful anecdotes about The Human League, Heaven 17, drugs, influences, Irish relatives, records, analogue synths and more.

Super cool and just so much fun 🙌🫡🙏 to @lagrume.bsky.social youtu.be/HVMbGyUMndM?...

💥 MUSIC-RELATED THREAD OF THE WEEK 💥

The Inward Map: David Sylvian’s Solo Trilogy, 1984–1987 aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/03/25/t... There’s a particular kind of artist who seems to step out of their time just enough to make it visible. David Sylvian, in the years immediately following Japan, became that kind of figure.

Curious to discover that although in Spain the object of Kajagoogoo's attention in their number one hit "Too Shy" was deemed to be female, in Peru and Venezuela they were presumed to be male.

For your diaries: By order of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, the annual Turkmenistan horse beauty contest will take place on the 26th of this month. That is all. tdh.gov.tm/en/post/4817...

Just mistakenly wandered into the dark place and seen the comments of the baying angry mob following Starmer's perfunctory Passover wishes directed at the Jewish community. Far from being seen as Israeli shill the mob berate him for being unchristian, a friend of Islamic terror & an antisemite.

Make Easter easier by uncrossing the t and dotting it instead.

RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕 Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us

lol

Uh-oh

Now Italy follows Spain in denying US landing rights. Poland refuses to transfer Patriot missiles. Cracks appear in US/UK intelligence sharing. The transatlantic alliance is breaking down. In real time.

This is mad. Just heard this young Spanish band singing a track - in actual Spanish - whose guitar work seems to have been inspired by bIG fLAME, Bogshed or some other manic jangly band on the Ron Johnson label circa 1986. Now found live clip of it recorded a fortnight ago at a place I used to work!
