Apparently after Pete Best was fired from The Beatles he could be seen all around Liverpool living his "Best" life RS

"The man, who called himself Rick, was barefoot and continued to claim that he was "Rock and Roll's spiritual guru," and all should kneel before him. When the police removed his red sunglasses he cowered, crying, "No! Not the light!!". Enquiries are ongoing." Honolulu News, 22nd Sept, 2025

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

These mockumentaries by Harry & Paul are my favourite thing in the world - celebrating while sticking the knife in youtu.be/pOlSHw_y0Lw?...

My little Beatles/Teatles cubby. (absent friends too) @teatles.bsky.social

I regret to you inform you that, according to my son, this is Batman and his Butler Alfred.

Well, this is all rather wholesome isnt it? July ‘69. Soon the Beatles would be no more. The teacup is still the best bit tho.

In musical terms, this show was superb - I’m not sure how you learn just one of these songs, let alone a whole set - and when Mike Heron appeared, ultimately very moving. Thank you Broadside Hacks et al. 🙏 🦔 #ISB

Sally Rooney won the Sky Arts award for literature for Intermezzo. Her editor collected it for her as she couldn't travel in case of arrest for her support for Palestine Action. "to reiterate... and my solidarity with the people of Palestine." We are proud of her always. #BDS #SolidarityIsAVerb

Dutch late night TV has its take

Silver Sun Nigel Goodrich served them well. Fun Fact: their debut album featured a recording of an announcement at Belfast International airport … “you are now approaching the end of the moving walkway … please get ready to PUSH your trolley over the ramp”. No fact too arcane. #TOTP

we really do live in the dumbest timeline

Ed Davey has gone too far this time!

“Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby. Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here …”

“Bryan Johnson devotes more than 6 hours a day to slow down or even reverse the ageing of his body.” Perhaps his life just feels longer?

To accept death as a part of life? To live for the present moment (which is all any of us have)? To live in community with each other and our planet?

OUR SOCIETY IS RUN BY INSANE PEOPLE FOR INSANE OBJECTIVES I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree? #powertothepeople

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

When idealistic eco-warrior Wilma Wolfe is teamed up with grizzled local newspaper hack Terry Eno, it's hate at first sight. But soon Wilma learns to appreciate Terry's ambient detective skills while Terry realises you can teach an old dog new tricks. (ITV2, 9pm)

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

This is a consequence of the built-in unaccountability of ICE. It is non transparent and resistant to oversight. It is massively made worse by current leadership, but the structural problem was already there.

‘It’s dying in front of our eyes’: how the UK’s largest lake became an ecological disaster

I’m a broken record on this, but — there are so many examples of famous people radicalised by midlife career/personal knockbacks. Ant Middleton was on yday’s march. He got done for tax offences and lost his TV work. Now he’s mates with Tommy Robinson.

On days like today, it’s important to remember the words of the wonderful Jonathan Miller when challenging the dog-whistling of those who wish to divide us for political or financial gain.

OK - well it’s not the worst album he’s ever done. But I remain completely baffled by the height of its pedestal. Don’t @ me. #maccachaos20

Is this still ‘Anyway’ or the obligatory early 2000s hidden track? #maccachaos20

And on the last track Nigel finally finds the reverb button. #maccachaos20

People Get Ready - a great cover to end the album. Bold choice. #maccachaos20

This Never Happened To Me Before - the title makes me laugh. Again, plodding piano and the vocal strain makes it sound like a demo. #maccachaos20

It’s A Fine Line / Flaming Pie again! With a touch of ‘out of college money spent ..,’ thrown in for good measure. #maccachaos20

Follow Me - the worst track on the album for me. It’s basically a re-write of ‘Put It There’; also a terrible song. #maccachaos20

It’s doesn’t help that this gold vinyl is a terrible pressing! #maccachaos20
