Ah, Clive Nates arrived at the Tiny Tavern and I turn into a gibbering wreck. What a man.

This, I regret to inform you, is absolutely real. True end times shit. I mean, what are we doing here?

Very rare visit to Usher Gallery. Three Lowrys! Epstein! A Picasso (not pictured)

Ok fine I’ll do it myself. I’m fucking wheezing

University management spent £80 million on new building that wasn't needed (presently for sale at £14 million) and now decide 600 staff should go to 'save' £50 million. This is the math currently shaping future of UK HE. Staff paying the price for mismanagement. Govt looking the other way

Worried that I'm going to have to pass on the trophy presentation later to appease my dad who'll be moaning about waiting for me in the car park. I have suggested taking the bus home. The whole thing sounds like it'll drag on for some time.

Ooo, Sevilla in real danger after that loss.

Cool, a lovely 10 year reunion with Burnley next year, but with Tendayi on the right team...

Biopic sur Michael Jackson : le film sur le roi de la pop est une hagiographie ridicule d’un artiste dépeint en génie immature, expurgée de toutes les accusations de pédocriminalité. Lire : bit.ly/42gIVr8

Bromley vs Leicester City is an actual league fixture for next season 🤯

You'll only drive it underground.

Never noticed this brilliant heron weather vane on top of a building on the junction of Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Hill ( @everyheron.bsky.social )

Hmm tube strike I can handle, but Southern trains seem up the spout. May have to Superloop my way home...

How terribly depressing and distressing. Christ. A 17 year old. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Heard there's a scene in the Michael Jackson movie where a kid tries to seduce him after a concert and Michael says "No. No thank you!" and just moonwalks away.

Watched the Superclasico last night, god I wish I hadn't. Awful game, settled by a penalty, though River were denied what looked like a clear penalty in the last minute.

Michael Jackson's career trajectory

I thought that was a red card these days. Glad I don't make a habit of watching football in the pub too often

Trash

Adrian Younge's latest album is a banger, as the kids no longer say

You boys! What a nervy second half and extra time. Beautiful Basque bastards Pellegrino Matarazzo, what a boss.

Inevitable that Atlético would score. Horrible feeling the winner is coming

Bloody hell! #copadelrey #tooearly

Well, at least we're promoted already, but that is an awful first half performance.

Congratulations to @haringeyboroughfc.bsky.social on their promotion as Champions. Not been up there so much this season, which no doubt probably spurned them onto greatness. #singifyoureharingey

Rayo doing their best to balls this up.
