I love a good statgasm

FPTP is like The One Ring of politics in the UK. They know they need to destroy it, but once it's in their hands they think "Why shouldn't we keep it? We can use it for good!" and then everything goes dead-Boromir-shaped

Oooh, another surprise drop, Perfect Place by Irish folk duo, Lemoncello. As lovely as ever with an expanded palette and more ambitious scope. Another feather in the cap of contemporary Irish folk alongside Lankum etc

I see not a single mention of On Avery Island for #5debutalbums9599 which makes all of you wrong :) Overshadowed by it's younger sibling sure, but still fantastic.

AI, honestly.... Why i was searching the term "cookwank" is another story only residents of East Dulwich circa 2007 will understand.

I'm sorry, Broken Social Scene snuck in a new album without telling me?!?!?!?

came up on my 2021 playlist. A slice of jazzy joy for the morning www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5Rc...

It absolutely didn't. Brexit damaged the country and destroyed the party. Leadership reshuffles were a symptom of that damage, not a cause.

Literally in the newly released ufo files....well that's that then

I reckon if dogs had opposable thumbs and humanity left them (singularity, respiratory rabies, sublimed, triffids) they would cargo cult the shit out of cupboards. Wishing I was there for the octopoid archaeologists flame wars re whether cupboards served a practical or religious purpose.

Scavengers Reign is leaving Netflix soon. Higggghly recommend if younhavent watched it yet.

Can't believe in 4 years of driving this car through my gates, ive never noticed this cool view from the parking cameras before

The message doesn't interest me so much as people posting pictures of blue sky posts rather than quote tweeting. weird. Feel free to see how deep it can go :D

Autumn 2027. Keir Starmer angrily orders an inquiry into why he wasn't told about correct procedure for hiring the adviser who managed the process for reassigning the civil servant who advised him on how Olly Robbins handled Mandelson. Andy Burnham has just lost his third byelection of the year.

...and now for a party political broadcast for the Reform party from our political editor, Chris Mason

Generative AI, aside from the IP theft and insane environmental damage, can just fuck off with bells on. To paraphrase...it doesn't need putting in the bin, because it might miss the bin, it needs to be put in the bin and set on fire www.wired.com/story/deepfa...

Nice article about ARC Raiders It doesn't mention Agression Based Matchmaking, it seperates players based upon their proclivity for violence. I've met lots of nice people on it, cooperated, chatted and danced. When i was murdered i nearly actually died with fright www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...

you know you've been playing too much Arc Raider when you see a report of a Ukrainian drone strike and think "ooh, high value loot"

Stumbled upon Dolores Forever, Yorkshire/Norweigan duo. Their debut from 2024 is excellent, slick, breezy soft rock pop with witty, incisive lyrics and is honestly so polished you'd think they'd been doing it since the 70s. Love it, definitely one to watch.

From the Journal of Democracy just before the Hungarian election. It made me think that here is the real Brexit prize for Farage should he lead the country. Although as so may of his heroes have learnt the hard way, reality has a way of throwing more constraints your way than you expect.

Mannequin Pussy on TIny Desk with string arrangements....yes very please thank you!!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_f...

I've said for yonks that Israel's strategy has been to ensure that any regional power that hasn't bent the knee remains indefinitely broken by constantly breaking them. Errr, that's it. As a short term strategy its terrible, medium term, terrible. Long term it's suicidal.

He's gonna drop the bomb isnt he.... Just had a very uncomfortable feeling in my waters about that.

If you're going to be a bit Spinal Tap just lean into it wholeheartedly without a hint of irony and you might just get away with it. Castle Rat very much do, love them, congrats on getting a KEXP live slot!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQix...

Roo bubble sorted Star Wars Top Trumps and here are his top 10 who made the cut.

Colonialism 101. Then up, declare yourself the first ever ruler, when the locals say "you what" call it a rebellion and slaughter them. Disclaimer - any resemblance to recent events is purely coincidental

The mental gymnastics involved to make the whim driven global economy shattering events the good guys in all of this....

Lol, 4D chess folks, 4D chess 😅

Fans will not be happy about the new Dune film title

New album from The Notwist out today. If you've not heard them think a Bavarian Broken Social Scene and you're most of the way there, eclectic experimental pop collective.

listening to #todayfm 's 100 best Irish songs of all time, and I have concluded that Westlife is literally the devil's spawn.

Anyone else immediately think ZX Spectrum? Anyone....anyone...Bueller...etc.....

Yep, denial of reality doesn't alter reality. Decarbonise now.

This made me chuckle. It's pronounced "Niwa ni wa ni wa niwatori ga iru"

We've become so immune to the horror of it all, but when it's all laid out in one place it still has the ability to be shocking.

This, a million times this. Reform should not be handled by the press as anything except an extremist project. If we can get back to demanding an apology from Farage for years of racist bullying too, that would be a start.

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

Interesting legal precedent that killing your own people and interfering in the US 2020 election is punishable by death. Very much looking forward to its obvious logical conclusion.

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
