As someone who is normally quite happy to pass up the opportunity to go to musical theatre, I have to say this show is brilliant (eggcellent even!). 5 star reviews absolutely deserved! Great cast, wonderful funny songs (A Musical is indeed superb), and witty scripty bits. Go see if you can!

"Book of the Year" - out now, playing on the radio. Available to stream and to download from Bandcamp.

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

But ‘people’ keep saying Sadiq Khan’s London isn’t safe, Nadine? Nadine?

"King Olav! Roald Amundsen! Liv Ullmann! Edvard Munch! Thor Heyerdahl! Henrik Ibsen! Edvard Grieg! Morten Harket! ... Can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating!"

Coming up in 5-10 mins!

I had something to do with this - give it a listen!

I’m learning so much about the UK’s good old days over on Facebook! Back then, there was a Bock Jbleaw on every corner, usually with a Bolitche nearby. Back then, Woolworths was so cool it became Coolworths, and the Cooperative Society tried a hip ‘Co-op’ rebrand, 50 years too early. Ain’t AI grand?

We're co-releasing Railcard's "Two Steps At A Time" with our great friends at Skep Wax. There are a few different versions up for pre-order now, including various colors of vinyl (ours is transparent tan), CD bundles and a Dinked edition for select UK shops w/a bonus 7". li.sten.to/two-steps-at...

Excellent use of alt-text!

"I am the most physically & verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times.” Nigel Farage is quite simply subhuman. For absolute & eternal shame.

Tremendous

Hello Clacton, it's your turn to be Belgium!

"they beat us 4-1. I didn't know what that meant. I didn't think it meant much. Then I started hearing that means you can't play in the next round and you're knocked out. How do you penalise them for a game that hasn't been played yet? It's very unfair."

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY

Donald Trump has a habit of getting American into thorny international disputes that they ultimately embarrassingly don’t win

"I hope I become a favourite..." cardinalverlengo.bandcamp.com/track/book-o...

Grim to reflect that the USA at 250 is in the hands of a regime that, had it existed in 1941, would have supported the Nazis rather than declared war on them.

And "communism" would obviously worse than this!

I was involved in this!

Millions of people have car insurance and yet don’t crash even once a year! They must all be fraudsters

Obama was the guy in college you’d ask to walk you home after a party and Trump was the guy who was the reason you wanted an escort home.

Here’s an idea. Let’s not ask Nigel Farage what he thinks. We’re all well aware exactly what he fucking thinks. Maybe ask some grown ups instead.

The most thinking my brain will manage today

Remember having the star rating system for music mags explained to me by an editor. * A really poor effort ** Disappointing for fans *** Fans of this band will like it **** May convert non-fans ***** Pet Sounds / What’s Going On So most albums are ***. But nobody wants a three star review.

Congratulations to Andy Burnham for winning The Masked Singer.

This ITV drawing board is great.

Everton, please remove all references to these orange shitgibbon supporting shysters off the club shirt.

Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

Thought I should probably update this poem.

A huge industrial-scale data centre is being proposed for the Lammermuir Hills in the Scottish Borders, one of Scotland's most treasured rural landscapes, known for their wildlife, open moorland, dark skies, hill farming, heritage and tranquillity. www.change.org/p/save-the-l...

Trump phone has HTC guts. Tremendous guts. The best guts

Due to its unsustainable pricing policy, Club Tropicana closed within weeks of opening.

I really, really hope the SpaceX IPO goes humungously badly. (Great thread on why it is crock of shit if you are interested)

Everton overspend by £35m - 8 points and effective £45m fine (Burnley + loss of merit payments) Chelsea Breach 74 rules - £10m fine Sky 6 join a Super League - £3.5m fine

Journalists need to get off Twitter. It is no longer the public square. It’s a bunch of maniacs. You don’t worry about what some weirdo is posting on Pinterest, YouTube or Reddit- don’t worry about How Lowe Can He Go on twitter.

The Lammermuirs are one of Scotland’s most treasured rural landscapes. This morning, @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social wrote to us with news of plans to build an industrial data centre on them. Help 66 locals defeat a $2 billion project by signing the petition: www.caughtbytheriver.net/2026/06/save...
