It’s that kind of day

It's "Blue Monday", which is a load of nonsense, but it is an excuse for a thread about New Order and the UK's best-selling 12-inch single of all time #BlueMonday (THREAD 1 of 10)

Can’t wait for the moment when some loser Tory MP , 59th in the list, wants to defect and Reform are like, Nah. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Watching this and reminded of seeing Schiff play last 3 Beethoven sonatas at symphony hall some years back. Was one of the first to burst into applause at the end of Op111, maybe a little too enthusiastically … cont. youtu.be/j5ojODto40g?... 1/2

Second week of not listening to BBC radio 3 as they continue their ridiculous american road trip. Are they seriously pretending that all is normal in that hellhole of a country with a dangerous megalo maniac in charge? 🤬

💯 orgs need to get their devs to stop programming X into their share code. Probably no more than 5 mins work.

If you're still on X: why? I had 270,000 followers when I closed my account. But all I lost was 200,000 bots and trolls. The real people — the funny, the decent, the smart, the interesting — are already here. They'll find you. Leave X. Just do it. It's personal, political and societal poison.

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

Colour me surprised that the twats twat has been found out - hateful, smug, condescending and unfunny and now, a misogynist to boot www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
