The fucking cheek of this tax dodging cretin. Bangs on about 9 million 'not in work', when he's laid off 450-500 United employees (40% of the workforce) in the last 18 months. Prick.

Good evening, I am a cunt.

They've invested billions of dollars to create a Labour MP

#5DebutAlbums0509 Honourable mention for The Earlies - 'These Were The Earlies'. Released in the US in 2005, but released a year earlier in the UK. Would most definitely have been in my top 5, otherwise.

Long list for #5DebutAlbums0509 This period falls directly in my 'getting married, buying a house, having kids' fallow period. Not the greatest era of music, but still a fair few that have had the legs and stayed the course. #musicsky

arguably the biggest news of the week that Lisa Nandy is currently doing something related to her brief

Keir Starmer sitting at his desk, knowing that he can struggle on or by 6pm he could be knocking back his second Kingfisher whilst waiting for his butter chicken and plain naan to turn up.

This is exactly why this guy earns the big bucks.

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

They bent over backwards to please this roaring crackpot. Hasn’t gone quite as planned.

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection. If you take that away, what do they have left?

All timer. Love this record.

Horn toot! For _The Wall Street Journal_, author George Newman chose my book _Our Band Could Be Your Life_ as one of "Five Best: Books on the Creative Spark." In there with Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, Patti Smith, and Alice Flaherty.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping

bro just one more ‘the left is bad’ speech bro, I swear one more speech shitting on the left and it’ll fix politics bro

The thing is Mandelson is by far the worst example but it is astonishing to see the return of Dougie Alexander and Jacqui Smith, two utter wastes of space from the New Labour administration, and the looming presence of Yvette Cooper presented as "reassuring" and not "intellectually bankrupt."

He just tweeted it out …

Starmer — a prosecutor with a huge majority, coming in after years of sleaze and mendacity — could have weaponised the corruption of his opponents to incredible advantage. Instead he will be ruined by the living avatar of corruption in his own party. To not see that coming is a serious skill issue.

Latest from me: on Listening Position's reissue of Kelan Phil Cohran's 1993 album African Skies, one of the deepest post-1970s spiritual jazz records. Features two double basses, two harps, lots of percussion, cornet, voice and the Frankiphone, an electrified kalimba that Cohran built himself.

Thirty-five years. What more can I say? The thing about the _Tremolo_ EP (and the preceding _Glider_ EP) is that both are their own distinct works, they're not just the singles from _Loveless_ in advance. You can't understand MBV without understanding them in turn. Plus, a fave story... (1/x)

Mamdani is proving what we all suspected. The Democrats didn’t want him to win because they knew he’d succeed and show how it’s not just possible to fix things- it’s actually pretty fucking easy.

"Having been invited in 2010 to an Epstein dinner with Woody Allen and then Prince Andrew in New York, the magazine editor, Tina Brown, replied: “What the fuck is this . . .? The paedophile’s ball?” Brown’s reaction should have been everyone’s."

incredible, even when it's for his paramilitary fascist goon squad, trump still doesn't pay his bills

I loved Shooting Stars so much, and this has just reminded me of one of the central mysteries: how was Mark always able to guess whatever Vic was singing in the club style? www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

This was superb. So much so, it necessitates a rewatch of this masterpiece. Not that you need an excuse, mind.

"Who was serving a jail sentence at the time"

Like do you want people to hate the BBC. That has to be it. It can't be a normal person is watching this going yeah this is good enough for THE BBC

I genuinely think allowing this type of journalism should be seen as an attack on the BBC from the inside

On Arte's YouTube channel: La rupture (1970) see Robin's thread La femme infidèle (1969) famous last shot! Le boucher (1970) blood on a brioche! Les biches (1968) sexy love triangle! Stéphane Audran admirers assemble!

Magnificent documentary by writer (and one time New York taxi driver) Michael Goldfarb, about Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, 70s New York and the transformed city of today www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I’ve said it before but the answer is to ignore the queue and just go straight to the bar, where the bar staff will almost always serve you because they also think it’s stupid, or go to a different pub

A 'heads-up' that both 'The Red Shoes' and 'A Matter of Life and Death' are currently up on BBC iPlayer.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

Somebody uploaded the last 120 Minutes of 1993 to YouTube and it is A RIDE. Two hours of live in studio performance by Suede, Swervedriver, Juliana Hatfield, Smashing Pumpkins and more to come.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Yes!

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Happy 40th birthday to Prefab Sprout's Johnny Johnny (AKA Lucile #1), which was released as a single on this day in 1986. Here's a great live performance on the Whistle Test youtu.be/iZIknAn2Mnc
