Politicise a song or a band Never Ending Tory

Age yourself with a comment or observation Every New Year, I'd have to tear out and write a new cheque because I wrote down the year wrong

Ruin two bands by combining them: Godspeed you! Half Biscuit

Ah good excuse to dig up this old song I made in dishonour of Calvin Robinson....

Ah about not speaking ill of the dead and all that... worldcrunch.com/world-affair...

The misunderstanding re alpha is fairly recent in the grand scheme of time, and has now become the richest most powerful man, and not the guy you'd follow if you were shipwrecked and needed guidance on how to build a shelter and survive

How I'm walking out of 2025

As someone who's been a supporting act through a few pregnancies, I know my place is to stand by her and be of as much assistance during and after the process. Any issues I had were quietly shared with close mates in pubs Apparently this is a much bigger thing for some new fathers. Thoughts? 🤔

Cringe but feelgood if you stick with it... When my boy was 14 I did this impromptu freestyle rap that left him visibly cringing... Cut to eight years later 🥰

NY RESOLUTION: done trying to get through to YOU* You hate Hamas. Want to see them punished. Whatever politics you wrap it in, for two years you watched innocent ppl you know aren't Hamas get DESTROYED every day, and you're fine with it. *saddest part: you don't know who you are. But we see YOU

Aaaaaand back to spreading some cheer! Big festive love from the Joi family x WARNING: Contains Dad Dancing... © Little Wonder by David Bowie

You've gotta love the Xmas spirit of the true blue Starmer lot 😂

This part-Muslim, part-Hindu, part-Christian, part-Jewish, all-atheist family wish you all a very merry Xmas x

In the 80s...Caroline Cossey - trans, daryl hannah - autistic, Katherine duchess of Kent - gluten intolerant.

I've often wondered about people who simply scrawl "England" in England. Like... Why? To inform others where they are? To remind themselves where they are? 🤷

Read. The. Placard. We all know this government has told us standing up for Palestine and opposing genocide will likely get us in trouble. But we still do it because we actually give a shit For fucks sake

Thought I found my perfect shower. Look at all the options for that perfect warm between hellish hot and freezing cold. And yet... All I got was scorching burn or skin freeze 😑

My dad used to be a wine supplier to Indian restaurants. I was telling a ex how I learned all wine names with an Indian accent because I took orders on the phone (moos ka det, pooly foosy, boojoolee etc) and she said "ha ha how did you pronounce blue nun" and I was like, well that was just blue nun

How I'm showing up to the Bluesky Xmas party

Niche thread for book lovers. List any observations you made while reading or great thing you learned from any book you like. I'll start. It's wild no tech tosser has thought to name its AI engine Mandarax

That should be a Xmas show: Roast a Gammon, where reform voters are lined up and asked questions about reform policies and watch their faces go red with rage and embarrassment

So speaking of Muslims and Xmas... I got shit faced all day in London and my bed for the night got scuppered cos my mate got shit faced and pissed off his wife...so I rang my hardcore Muslim brother past 11 o clock for a place to kip, and he greets me at the door in santa hat 😂 🎅

I don't think any non-white person has ever asked a white person to apologise for being white But we've absolutely asked them to apologise for being a racist fuck

Toilet graffiti I can abide by x

Seriously, anyone that still goes on xitter are no different from abused victims still clinging onto the hope he'll change...

Not sure if relevant, but all my friends and especially colleagues (I work in global health) are super intelligent, so I've nestled into the "funny guy" persona, but I'm always told I'm street smart (whatever that means) but I know no one wants me in their trivial pursuit team. I'm OK with that x

In my occasional series of Things I Love about London 1. A decent Turkish barbers (shut up, this is what I asked for) 2. A proper pub Things I Don't Love about London How much????

Backstory: grew up in Bangladesh, played Monopoly in Bangladesh. Just realised I've never actually got round to verifying this: Is Pall Mall pronounced Paul Maul or Pal Mal 🤔

Shihab's Muslim Xmas Message x

The subhead though... The casual acceptance that they'll attack women either way is either callous or sinister

Donald █████ is a ████. I'm sure of it. He ██████ young girls on ████ Island, along with his mate ███████. Then he spent ██ years lying to ████████ voters, as if it never happened. I hope he snags his █████ on a rusty nail and it falls off, cos he's a ███████ cunt.

I don't tell my kids what they can or can't read but I've successfully managed to steer them away in the bookshop to something less creepy and bullying than that prick

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie"

BREAKING: Muslim immigrant exploits white girl into singing Last Christmas

Have I missed this but have Venezuela govt revealed who all those people killed were... In this electronic age we should be able to find out if they were indeed drug runners or poor fishermen, no?

Nothing says it's Christmas than a bunch of Spanish kids (haven't zoomed in cos, kids) singing the best Christmas song ever. Hallelujah. Shakin Stevens is risen x

I'm forever annoyed my time machine fantasies are marred by the possibility I'd get clapped in irons and shipped off to slavery at hello. Where are the places in time I could go to where they'd be like woooah future dude be our king. I don't want to be eaten by cannibals either Serious question 🤔

Separate art from artist thread. A friend sheepishly justified listening to lost prophets again now that Ian Watkins is dead so won't profit from her listening. Never gave a shit about them, but it did make me think whether I can listen to morrissey again after he pops it Who do you struggle with?

When you have a ballroom designed to regularly host the world's most powerful billionaires, it does become a risk. Or, you know, if they don't want people who want to kill them all to not know where they all gather, they could just not build it...

You know how people offer weird hacks on the internet? Well, I'm on a weird one on work deadline, so here's mine. Craved the Dishoom bacon naan roll, had everything in fridge but neither the time nor energy to make chilli jam, so I mixed strawberry jam with Srirachia and dammit it works!

Without saying Tainted Love, what's one of your favourite cover versions? I'm going to go with this, because she somehow manages to transform a deeply somber Leonard Cohen song into a skip down the park ditty x www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgaI...

I work in global health dominated by flashy agencies but I get hired because I'm cheap and have a genius science wife to help me decipher technical stuff mere designers can't, but my competitors have a whole team while I'm one man who hasn't slept in two nights. Need coffee, speed and cuddles pls x

I know he wasn't an exactly a loveable character in Game of Thrones, but when the Mad King was hellbent on burning everything down, he did kill him...

Calling ravers old and new Have an all-nighter ahead (alas, work deadline not party) Post a banger that's guaranteed to keep me jumpin' and a pumpin' x I'll start

I'll never understand why anyone still wants to go to America, let alone Mexicans 🤷 english.elpais.com/usa/2025-12-...

Pre-Brexit Spanish resident here... If Tommeh got residency after Brexit, which must be the case, that means he has to prove he has 25k in the bank EVERY YEAR to continue to qualify. That grifting is certainly paying off...

I got an onigiri press earlier this year. The joy

What does this even mean? Fighting for your rights can never be anything but a public affair. Hey Rosa Parks, I get you feel bad about the whole bus thing but can you moan about it privately?

When I was a yoot, I solemnly took a vow with my fellow 20,000 hardcore members: "Hardcore will never die" Still true to my word, word! x
