My clue today is still unsolved - probably because of the stretchy definition. Trooping the colours with "Rule, Britannia"? (1,1,1)

Introduce yourself with 10 bands you've seen live. Roxy Music Kid Creole and the Coconuts In Tua Nua The Bible Martin Stephenson and the Daintees Neil Young and Crazy Horse Hothouse Flowers Thao and the Get Down Stay Down The Go-Betweens Tiny Tim with Brave Combo

This guy should get more views for his original songs lampooning Trump - a new one every day! I particularly enjoy the invisible kazoo today. youtu.be/PMyv5DCfE1A?...

Letting an illegal immigrant steal government data and cancel humanitarian programs is pretty crazy too.

Pick a Bond from the photos you already have in your phone

My attempted solve of the Guardian's Cryptic Crossword No. 20,000, reprinted recently as part of the 30,000 celebrations. Did anyone have more success than me? Not one for those who dislike superfluous words in clues! youtu.be/IdkCTDOzAwM?...

Keir's last go? "Neigh!" Outsiders organising this? (8,5) #CrypticClue

Well, what eats all the bar flies then?

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles", Taking everything else that's on wheels Steve and John will, though "That isn't a pillow!" And the ending will give you the 'feels'. #ASongOrMovieForLimericks

My #CrypticClue on YouTube today: Former BBC executive and beloved broadcaster, both devouring data wildly (5,12)

Two great interviewees, people who know their stuff, and an interviewer who asks questions and lets them answer. What more could you want?

No one has solved my clue of the day yet: Stick-in-the-mud not PC, vulgar (5) It does have a "trick" to it that I don't think I've seen before (although nothing's new under the sun). Is it fair? #CrypticCrossword youtu.be/MtPq1Bt0vFg?...

My solve of Dice's delightful daily debut: youtu.be/T6kAME5h-jE?...

My favourite part of doing www.foclach.com (the Irish language Wordle) is checking the usage examples at the Irish dictionary, Teanglann. They're taken from Ó Dónaill’s 1977 dictionary (although they sometimes seem like they're from a much older world).

Some good news from Texas. Voters ousted three incumbents on the Grapevine-Colleyville School Board who were backed by an ultra-conservative Christian Nationalist group. www.star-telegram.com/news/politic...

Okay, hard to beat the "chair flute" from her Tiny Desk concert, but how good is this? #music youtu.be/sAU-pZCxVMM?...

Still learning how to distinguish the fake profiles (usually left-leaning, reposting progressive messages). The most recent has a profile picture of a woman and child, looks plausible. Reading through her re-quotes, however, I see that she lives in Nebraska, Canada and Florida and is a "gay man" 😄..

Congratulations to Tramp on 15 years of Guardian crosswords! My sub-par solve of this top-tier puzzle is on YouTube. youtu.be/J_zoldTq_IM?...

Advertise your account with a Simpsons gif or pic.

I could only make it through 7 minutes of the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com interview with this schmuck @kenmartin.bsky.social . It was the way he kept prioritizing "the donors" in his replies. God help us all if our only hope against Trump puts donors over people. youtu.be/h8IwrO-03WU?...

Seashell "crime" only nincompoops could hallucinate - beginners! (5) #CrypticCrossword #CrypticClue

@henriwords.com Do you think I can my passport stamped in Scunthorpe?

I'm sure someone has done this one: King Charles meets idiot - vulgar (5) #CrypticClue

My clue of the day on YouTube today: Veni, vidi, vici initially for Caesar could be a blow (5,2,5) (a) Not sure it's as clean as it could be. (b) Am I subconsciously remembering an old clue, or did I come up with this gimmick myself?

My solve of ingenious 3-themed (or tree-teamed in Dublin :) ) puzzle by @fimjishwick.bsky.social - thank you, Jim! youtu.be/YkYotHAavtk?...

My solve of @thevoidtlmb.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy Guardian debut as Ix - and a very impressive debut too! I also show the amazing stats site by @thomasadam.bsky.social (in the thumbnail). youtu.be/XEihdm3HYm8?...

Iran now knows the US Navy's greatest weakness. #HungCao

My solve of Henri's very fun puzzle is now on YouTube, but I do recommend having a go at it yourself first. Thank you, @henriwords.com ! youtu.be/CT8LGDQedoQ?...

Some Sunday night silliness.

I tried to match wits with Rob in his Guardian debut, but took a plastic spork to a knife fight. Still lots of fun! youtu.be/p0c1E3VU2tY?...

And you've got to admit that Obama was right...

Irish 1926 Census post-release checklist: - People being loosey-goosey with their ages - Return page with tea stains - Name misspelled - Great-granduncle's estranged wife found living with a co-worker as a "boarder" - What else?

Just one more sleep, but may be too excited!

What musical side projects ended up reinvigorating the main band? I nominate A Camp with singer Nina Persson, which directly led to the Cardigans' masterpiece, "Long Gone Before Daylight". youtu.be/xNN5QTCwNOg?...

Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18. "Gregory's Girl" for me. c.tenor.com/VM7OSo4utHYA...

I can't imagine many writers and philosophers are better served than Iris Murdoch is by her namesake society. A wonderful podcast, multiple publications each year, and a robust social media presence.

"Weak on crime, eh?"

In all fairness, when I hear about his latest assault on the law or common decency, I often say, "Jesus Christ!"

JD may be the most consequential VP of our time, just not the consequences he's going for.

I'm sure this has been done before.

I'm amazed daily at Mangy Fetlock's/Bruce W. Nelson's topical songs. This is another beaut. youtu.be/2_Of1ywGTLA?...

Melania's statement today seems to be at odds with the documented evidence until you find out she had Ghislaine in her contacts as "Accomplice Maxwell".

If you like Sudoku, you might like the Waffle Number game. (Big fan of the original Waffle word game.) Link in the comments. youtu.be/rmfXRsiI6P0?...

It's so difficult for American Catholics to know where to turn: the man who has dedicated his life to service and preaches a gospel of justice, peace and love, or the guy who thinks that aliens are demons.

No one has got my Clue of the Day yet on YouTube: Player of golf game? It’s him, overturned! (6,5) Third letter is G.
