Members of racial groups aren't responsible for the appalling behaviour of their "leaders". And it's not the responsibility of every random Jewish person to disavow them. Racial and religious groups are not homogenous. This is antisemitic.

Bought this at the time, the only Pavement record I bought in the 90s. Who would’ve thought that one of the b-sides would become Pavements Biggest Song Ever?

Spoiler for The Sheep Detectives (2026) youtu.be/l9dmoT9AfoI?...

About to see some SHEEPS DETECTIN’!

Alex James in My Culture Fix in the Times this morning reckons that Pet Sounds is shit. So there we have it, the Cotswold cheese guru has spoken.

the heavenly records version (this one) is the best version

Electric Youth on this episode means that’s two episodes in a row that feature the lyric “can you spare a dime”. #totp

I'm trying listening to that Behind The Bastards episode about Jimmy Savile and this is just unlistenable. Full of basic factual inaccuracies and the hosts stop to make sneery jokes about Britain being a place where towns have silly names (like "Leeds") because they can't be bothered to read

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime, one of the great 20th century American songs, that I first heard being sung by Mr Burns. #totp

You’re shitting me, WHY NOT

no elections in my neck of the woods today

A very eclectic choice on the episode of Give Us a Clue we're watching this evening.

Absolutely best of all the animals.

my current @letterboxd.social last four watched is very much of a type

Limmy on the social phenomenon that is men who look slightly like Flumps. "What do they feel, what do they think, when they see a guy wearing their hat, their jacket, their trousers, their shoes, their socks, their t-shirt with whatever's on it..." youtu.be/ZLqmyDTQWiA?...

kinda shit that had 1991 George H.W. calling the CIA saying something must be done about this societal menace

watched the devil wears prada (2006) for the first time. liked it! something i found out that everyone else has probably known for 20 years: it has a song from “tigermilk” on the soundtrack.

You know that "Boots" poem that was in the 28 YEARS LATER trailer and everyone was lining up to tongue punch Danny Boyle over it? Well it was just in the episode of DAD'S ARMY that I'm watching.

Kept my appointment yesterday. (A middle aged man on Bluesky who loves The Wicker Man? Groundbreaking.)

Howling #totp

If you're following the @politicsuk.com account here you should be aware it's run by a Reform politician

Genuinely gobsmacked at this headline about someone accused of attempting to murder three (3) people, the third of whom has a Muslim-sounding name

the velvet underground & grogu

Of course he means this one, not the rebranded soft rock ass playlist Spotify made. open.spotify.com/playlist/6kV...

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s chriiiiiiiiiiiistmaaaaaaaas

Looking forward to them covering all his biggest 90s hits, like the one with Janet that they won’t be able to mention, and the one written by R Kelly.

arranged a meeting with my estate agents

Just remembered this.

The Wizbit theme is an old Leadbelly song

Have a blessed May Day. I wish all your more dreadful sacrifices burn bright.

Bravo, he's done it again!

THIS IS NOT A THING ULTRAPROCESSED MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING There is no mechanism of action by which "processing" a food would, across the board, have this effect. Cutting up an apple is processing it. Cutting up and salting potato chips is processing them. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ULTRAPROCESSED

The swing revival didn’t trouble the UK charts (we were too busy with Skunk Rock and New Grave) so this is informative.

Digging Your Scene - New Pop And All That Jazz 1982–1987 is a 4CD box set exploring the moment jazz, soul, Latin rhythms and classic American songwriting collided with British pop. A soundtrack to the clubs, cafés and late-night city moods of 80s Britain. 👉 cherryred.co/DiggingYourScene

Me worming my way into the heart of the crowd: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me finding what was allowed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

"In the UK we called it 'Boss Cat' because we had a cat food brand called 'Top Cat' which, of course, was problematic for a publicly-funded BBC. However, it was lost on nobody that, whatever it was called, it was basically just Sergeant Bilko with cats, and that is what unites our countries today."

maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

It’s me, Frenchy, flying over the neighbour’ood

The Sunday Sport not afraid to tackle the big issues of the day.

I was off by a few months

With all the Michael Jackson talk of course I gotta rewatch the Beyond Yacht Rock episode about "Human Nature" with Toto and James Adomian's incredible Vincent Price impression youtu.be/O8if4LV_SzE?...

Arguably the greatest UK top 5 to feature a logo based on a trans woman who almost married into baronetcy until Sir John Waller discovered she couldn't bare children, then went on to feature in a film about a depressed poet who aims to turn his suicide into a media spectacle

using your second Reichstag Fire-style opportunity to justify a ballroom is a wild move

Seeing as how I’ll already never be allowed in the US
