Glad that I've only seen one poxy flag on a lamppost all day. Feared it would be a lot worse.

I might be in Demis Roussos hell.

It's bloody blood clinic day. I get to sit around a lot.

pfft this rapture could’ve been an email

Tonight's film is one of those guilty pleasures but there's a high chance I fall asleep.

Tonight's film.

It's Slightly Obscure 1970s Gritty Thriller Night. 'Across 110th Street'. Never seen it. Know nothing about it except it's supposed to be good. Yes . I think that's Huggy Best.

Tonight's film. My yearly rewatch of one of my top 10 films. Let's see if it can stay in my top 10.

I wish the media would stop calling the Kimmel story “cancel culture.” Cancel culture is when the public withdraws support (their attention or their money) from something they no longer want to endorse. That’s not what’s happening here. This is government censorship. It needs to be called that.

I want my country back … from a system of privatisation that has made our transport system the most expensive in the world and utterly unreliable and overcrowded

David Letterman to Jeffrey Goldberg on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension: “You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian—a criminal—administration in the Oval Office. That’s just not how this works.” #TAF25 bit.ly/4n0Uv2p

Bit of a late start. Tonight's film because why not? Absolute classic.

This is what I said to my wife and three kids who use Hulu and Disney+

I want my country back … from those who profit as public transport is run into the ground , those who get rewards for putting shit in the sea, those financiers and bankers who will destabilise a country for a quick buck, basically everyone Farage will stand up for if he wins an election

I never thought I'd ever type this but, as far as Bluesky is concerned, I wish fewer of my new followers were attractive women wearing just bikinis. Is it me or are they getting worse again?

I'm not convinced this is the last state visit he'll get. If, as rumoured, we get a new king in the next two years, this bugger might be back.

I'm guessing that gold didn't come from Temu.

That new Sleaford Mods track reminds me of my best/worst moment on Twitter when I talked myself into a £200 giveaway of this print.

Tonight's film. One of my favorites by Robert Redford.

I think I Robert Redford film for tonight. I might have gone for 'Sneakers' but I rewatched it recently. So many great films to go for... I might go big and one of my absolute favorites.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

Since he's keep secrets about himself, his new job, his holiday, and why he's started to use denture cream around his perineum, I've decided to make up shit about @frmo.bsky.social with a new #DrawModig challenge. Thanks to @matthewcreeves.bsky.social for the pens & liability insurance.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

FUCK!!! NO!!! Up there with Hackman in my top 3.

1957, and featuring Derek Bailey, most notably at the end. Is this where the story really starts?: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwBY...

Wordle 1,550 4/6* ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟨 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I get it down to two words and nearly every time I pick the wrong one. Even worse, I always switch to the second one I figure out when the answer is the first one. Next time I'm sticking with the first.

In the 1930s Mosley and his rank and file BUF were careful not to outwardly portray themselves as racists. They weren't antisemitic... far from it... they were just concerned about "bad principles" and "international bankers" and the influx of foreigners Everyone knew what they meant.

Tonight's film. I know it won't be as good as the first but the cast is much better, IMHO.

I wish a government would actually do something about this shite. Companies who make it deliberately difficult to complain when they fuck something up. No simple option to just click "not delivered" or "missing an item". Oh no. They expect me to sit here for 40+ minutes staring at a chat box.

“Ignoring Elon Musk and hoping he goes away hasn’t worked. X can mobilise violent mobs onto Britain’s streets, financially support its leaders, and radicalise casual users of the site – and its owner has made plain his agenda. The government has allowed a problem to turn into a crisis.”

Professor of science @davidwaywell.bsky.social has told analysts that people without Rumpbutter (tm) may one day be at a ‘significant glut disadvantage’ compared to those who do not use the muck.

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us." What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that. What contempt for voters. ~AA

I have to put a new shelf unit together today so it was good that IKEA came early. Unfortunately they only delivered the doors so I need to figure out a way to fit them without the surrounding shelves. Perhaps I can suspend then in the air using a system of wires and coathangers... 🤔

Orwell loved English working-class culture, literature, and humour - but not Britain’s ruling class, nor its empire. He saw English patriotism as a way of glossing over empire, inequality and decline.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

I want to watch the sequel so I have to watch this. Never seen it. Not a Rodriguez fan so hopes aren't high.

Might fit two films in tonight. I need them. This is the first.
