Apparently there's a big football match in America tonight. I'm not watching it, but...

Oh well, back to work tomorrow after 12 weeks off following surgery on my hand. At least I'm working at home for the first few days so it shouldn't be too bad...

In memory of Arthur 'Killer' Kane, bass guitarist of the New York Dolls February 3, 1949 - July 13, 2004 NEW YORK DOLLS - Jet Boy (1973 UK TV OGWT Performance) #punk #punks #punkrock #protopunk #arthurkillerkane #history #punkrockhistory #otd

It will soon be christmas... Spotted in Sainsbury's Garthdee store today. It's July FFS!

So it might just be Binface v Cuntface in Clacton. Even if Cuntface Farage wins, it won't be the great vindication he thinks. All it will mean is that SOME people in Clacton, which is only 1 of the 650 constituencies in the UK, don't care what he's done...

So Reform are wasting taxpayers' money because their Führer has a petted lip. Someone will need to remind him where Clacton is. Which of his 5 houses will he declare as his primary residence? And who paid for it? 🤔

Memorial to the more than 2000 Spanish Republicans used as slave labourers in the construction of the Nazi u-boat base in Bordeaux between 1941 and 1944. Many died in the appalling conditions to build this key piece in the Atlantic Wall Photo kindly sent to me by David Marsh

Infantino has 3 options here: 1. Call Trump a liar and say it was entirely a FIFA decision. 2. Immediately suspend the US from all international football for government interference in the sport. 3. Admit that FIFA is corrupt. If he doesn't do 1 or 2 then it is confirmation that 3 is true

To all the people who are, quite rightly, going on about the decision around the US red card, why are you all still watching the most corrupt sporting tournament ever? I haven't watched any of it, because I knew before it started that it would be corrupt

If the USMNT had any integrity they would at least start the game with Balogun on the bench. If they don't, it will show they are happy for the rules to be bent in their favour

Now why would I be getting this ad on FB tonight? 🤔

For some reason I remembered these two t-shirts today, commemorating things that happened in Estadio Azteca (one t-shirt is mine, the other is on a wall in Napoli, near the Maradona shrine)

The most corrupt world cup ever, and that is quite a record given its history...

Found a lovely queer trans feminist bar in Milan here called Pop Milano

It's #skaturday. Here's Johnny Cash & Joe Strummer with their cover of Bob Marley's Redemption Song. It's a cover which IMHO is better than the original, and I saw Bob Marley doing it live... youtube.com/watch?v=lZBa...

Great to meet like minded people yesterday at Dens. To borrow a phrase from a current campaign in Ireland - Stop The Game 🇵🇸 (Photo by @weejimsta.bsky.social)

#FloodlightFriday Estadio La Florida, Portugalete (Greater Bilbao area) Beer, kalimotxo, floodlights, lower league football 🎶 these are a few of my favourite things 🎶

Being cocooned in an office in "the North" will not change their perspective any more than being cocooned in an office in London. When he says "the North" where does he mean? Aberdeen? Inverness? Wick? Or does he mean Manchester, which is only around half way up England

She lost because of her political position on a number of issues, not just gay marriage. That's how leadership elections work...

Wow who’d have thunk it, vaccines work 🤔 Great news to celebrate.

When I worked in R&D I had a couple of colleagues like this...

Happy 81st birthday to the incomparable Deborah Ann Harry, born 1st July 1945 in Miami #Blondie youtube.com/watch?v=pHCd...

Short answer: No. Long answer: NOOOOOO!

The UK, where a cis man can be called "Labour's first woman prime minister" but if a trans woman were to become prime minister she would be described as a "biologically male prime minister" 🫠

Bonnie day in Sunny Dundee...

Previous World Cups involving Scotland 1974, 1978 - 16 teams. 1982, 1986, 1990 - 24 teams. 1998 - 32 teams. Why is it being considered a major achievement getting to the last 32 at this one? This World Cup is a corrupt joke of a tournament.

Fast tracking a Mayor from (Large City) into Westminster to save the country like a Messiah was tried before…..

If this is you watching people act like Burnham is the second coming, as Starmer resigns today, you are my people.

22nd June 1986...

Happy Maradona Day to those who celebrate it. 40 years ago, 22nd June 1986, Diego Maradona scored one of the greatest goals in World Cup history. All together now, "You put your left hand in, your left hand out..."

Was tidying up earlier and came across some old ultra stickers. These ones went straight in the bin, zionist pricks...

"Who's that?" "That's Mrs Deacon and her penis of a husband"

Breakfast, before heading to the airport for the flight home

Santander: cloudy seaside, beer, pincho, and a man taking a cat for a walk on a lead...

He won't. He's just Starmer with a Lancashire accent...

Last breakfast in Bilbao. Where else but the bar at San Mamés. Now heading to Spain for a day before flying home tomorrow. Eskerrik asko Bilbo/Euskal Herria ❤️🤍💚

Last day in Bilbao. Love it here, and will miss it.
