What a waste of apple crumble and custard.

Bjork looks fantastic #TOTP

Murray Head doing One Night In Bangkok on #TOTP is one of the worst things that's ever been on TV.

The content of 22,000 predominantly right-wing accounts is pushed to new Twitter accounts by Musk's algorithm. More than half of the political content came from accounts that used hateful or extreme language. Government bodies, MPs, unions ..they all need to shut down their accounts.

He received a prophecy that his firstborn daughter was destined to kill him

The 1982 documentary series Police, about the Thames Valley force, is remembered for officers' appalling handling of a rape victim. This recent Panorama shows that nothing has changed - or it did, but they've reverted to neanderthal level. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well, that was the point

To all in & around #Inverness who see this, please sign this petition to save the Spectrum Centre. It's been a great hub for the community, providing space for events, classes, kids activities, the cafe, & is much missed since its recent sudden closure. We need it back. chng.it/PFTN7HcbFB

@adwaithmusic.bsky.social MWY in ep1 of The Guest - yay!

The "rattling cutlery drawer" sound was a mainstay of 80s music #TOTP

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social Beautifully coloured chap, very vocal - before filming, wouldn't shut up, much miaow-purring "breeow", rolled around ON THE KERB if you please, then jumped up at the merest tap on the wall. Note braced paw deployment. Went all tranquil, heard a bird, forgot we existed.

I went past a wall topped with ornate metal railings that were very melodramatically crying. I realised it was an overwrought iron fence.

I'm so glad we got another look at that utterly shit Fleetwood Mac cover by the Corrs #TOTP

i don't understand was i supposed to kill him

All Saints with their naff light fluffy girly-voiced version of Lady Marmalade there, complete with low-grade choreography and pointless word re-spacing #TOTP

Have reached the Cagney and Lacey rewatch stage where Barry Primus was featured in the opening titles with both 'tache and no 'tache. #CagneyAndLacey

I love #Radiohead but the 6Music feature with Yorke & Donwood about the HTTT artwork & playing some of the live tracks is making me cringe at how bad his voice is in these recordings, really wobbly. And I'm reminded how tedious We Suck Young Blood was. But some of the interview chat is interesting.

Even as a kid I was bored by excited news items about panda couples and whether they were going to fuck. It's one of my most prominent news memories from the 70s and 80s along with the phrases "The conciliation service Acas" and "The soviet news agency Tass..."

Such an iconic spot. Really surprised that people don't know that's where it happened. It's practically Dylan's Abbey Road.

Today, we remember and celebrate Janey Godley.

In June 2018 Lionel Shriver railed against the Penguin Random House publishing group, saying they were "drunk on virtue". The clear implication of her words is that people from minority groups can't write good books.

Have a nice Friday everyone!

"Enough cocaine to fill a football stadium." But which one?

Even just *reading* this setlist is sending me into a coma.

Do you know, or have heard of anyone, called Stuart Tendes?

KFC-flavoured toothpaste at £9.50 a tube has sold out in 48 hours. Why are so many people so incredibly stupid?

Does the dishwasher change the composition of water to make it non-evaporating?

In various ways I've admired Rod Stewart over the years. I know this glasto performance will be gushed over but it's a hard watch. #Glastonbury

"we're here, we're queer, get used to it" was a common protest chant when Andrew was still a kid with a Thatcher poster on his bedroom wall.

Jane MacDonald Investigates the South Sea Bubble.

Christ on a scooter. She should be escaping him but she's just had a baby with him.

I love hurling my phone across the room. Do you do that with yours?

Politicians, including Starmer, need to shut up about #Kneecap. It's not important and he's looking and sounding stupid.

From today THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER. Get ready for christmas! 👍👍👍🎄🎁 So what's everyone going to do with their five to eight hundredths of a second less daylight, any plans?

Does anyone else not get all the fuss about Nico and that? #6music

Bluetooth earbuds that *aren't* really stupid and annoying. Do they exist?

@discordiankitty.bsky.social Watching Friends repeats and getting all nostalgic for your brilliant Why Phoebe Is Horrible thread. And being reminded in every episode why it was absolutely spot-on.

@edfringe.bsky.social Having lost the basket earlier despite adding to it, I've now managed to click on checkout, and it's now stuck on "loading your profile" while my basket has timed down to 4 minutes left. This is absolute crap. Do you WANT me to buy tickets or not?!

@edfringe.bsky.social Site still rife with inconvenience, chief of which I just experienced when my basket full of items timed out even after I added a further item when I got the 3-minute warning. Now have to start again. GAAH! Returning to search results takes me back to the very top EVERY TIME.

I'm completely neutral on semi-colons. I mention it as some people get quite emotional about them.
