They should make this into a movie and call it ‘Disco Galore!’

One of my favorite Cabo Verde facts is that it has a genre of music that arose after an abandoned ship washed up in 1968, carrying hundreds of keyboards and synths

Giving children their childhood back

The new under 16s social media curfew: how it works.

i would simply eat my cake whilst simultaneously having it. Easy to do, but nobody has yet dared to do it properly

Is the Microsoft Office Ribbon causing people to have fewer children? A provocative new working paper explores the persistent drop in birth rates since Office 2007 was introduced nearly two decades ago.

Elon Musk could give away $2,000,000 every day for the rest of his life (assuming he lives - somewhat implausibly - for another 50 years) and he would still have over half of his trillion dollar wealth left over.

One disappointment as ordered, sir.

Preparing myself for disappointment as I attempt to acquire a stupid hoodie alongside approximately 4 million scalper bots.

The new thick adidas stripes are stupid

They’ve got Trump doing the World Cup commentary?

I find myself thinking about this quote often of late.

The UK is the Nazi bar now.

Here we gooooo.

Something I used to do a lot with my wife that I really miss is going to the cinema. Obviously everything is a lot more expensive these days but whacking £80-100 on top for childcare really stings.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

I see Gianni Infantino’s got himself a new cartoon series

‘The frog does not drink up the pond in which it lives.’ But Capitalism does.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

This is a real threefer

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services. Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

Mr Reese once sarcastically quipped that I was hoping to one day be an icon designer, after seeing me messing around with the Mac app icons in ResEdit

It’s all kicking off in Richmond.

“You legend. Manager loved it.”

Found it.

I love this publicity photo for Big Train. A former screensaver of mine.

Watching an old documentary about 2000AD and uh, yikes.

just wanted to read a kids’ menu online and look at all this fucking shit lmao

Yer ma after a glass of Pinot

Speeding through the Flanders countryside in an air-conditioned train, eating liverwurst and cheese listening to the new Boards of Canada LP. 👌

Suddenly overcome by the desire to open a dive bar in the outskirts of Gent, specialising in Trappist beers and lofi DJ sets.

Any pol who says we should abandon net zero should be forced to live in a new build with no AC.

I’m in (fuckin’) Bruges where it’s a little cooler (28°C) than London, but the cafe I’m in has these misters that periodically spray everyone sat outdoors under the awning.

There's a story about the mix for Carpenter's "The Thing". So they're playing back the reel with the Blood Test Scene for Carpenter and the team and as the scene progresses, there's this slowly building rumbling sound... /1

Just a thought but shouldn’t these be things you identify *before* you argue to leave the EU?

My political platform is bringing back incandescent lightbulbs! And also deportations.

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

I have a theory that a major social ill we’ve never solved is that on some level people see ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ as arising from a zero-sum game; the (totally flawed) idea it’s impossible to make things better for those worse off without also making things worse for yourself.

Hot Fuzz is about the violence of stasis, the villages inability to change with time and process loss ultimately causes it to become reactionary as it increasingly aggressively polices its own idea of itself. The escalation to murder, including of their own, the ultimate expression of that futility.

Met Yusuf. All went fine until someone clocked I had a Finn Azaz sticker stuck to me.

Any Boro want some

BREAKING NEWS: Southampton are still cheats

@itsjoels.bsky.social so, you coming down to London? Somehow I’ve been roped into meeting a bunch of Boro fans coming down on Friday for beers.

You’ve probably seen posts before, about somebody who rented a house, transformed it; redid the garden to make it grow, painted the walls and turned it into a home. And then suddenly the landlord wanted it back, and kicked the tenant out. Google is that landlord.

Found him.

This absolutely won’t come back to haunt Harwood-Bellis, nope. 😂 #Southampton
