Saw the first two episodes- great work from everyone involved

Currently reading @irvinewelsh.bsky.social men in love , there’s a cracking few lines from Begbie about the good life , well worth checking out

Also, finally got around to Heinlien’s Stranger in a Strange Land, which made me think a bit much about that owner of the other place but was still interesting. Today finished Cory Doctorow’s Radicalized (enjoyed) and started @irvinewelsh.bsky.social’s The Sex Lives of Siamese Twins (enjoying).

New from @EmpirePodUK LIKE A WOLF ON THE FOLD- THE ASSYRIAN WAR MACHINE COMES TO GAZA With Professor Jo Quinn Our 12-hour-long deep dive into History of Gaza is already our most popular series ever- people are super hungry to understand all the nuances of this contested past

"Media has you comfortably numb" Irvine Welsh's [ @irvinewelsh.bsky.social ] sentiments on this issue are clearly aired in his chat with James O Brien [ @mrjamesob.bsky.social ] www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

In France. Can’t get over how relatively sane it seems compared to the UK.

Events in UK showing how mourning the death of someone whom people feel they knew and cared about is qualitatively so different and more real to that of someone whom they had never heard of but were told to care about. Real grief v media circus performance. #RIPRicky #WalkingInAHattonWonderland

Great to see real football back this weekend.

They aren’t even pretending to represent the voters now.,

Book At Bedtime: Men In Love - Irvine Welsh @irvinewelsh.bsky.social

Excellent interview with @irvinewelsh.bsky.social, covering culture, class, capitalism, addiction & #ScottishIndependence www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Senior Labour figures tell Keir Starmer to stop making mistakes. Two child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, PFI, not nationalising water, deregulating finance, further privatisation of the NHS, chasing Reform narratives aren't "mistakes". They are wrong policies. Need policy reset.

Fuck off with that shit you controlling pricks

Blind Cunt and The Poisonous Cunt are the only two nicknames I think. The rest are just temporary designations.

If you haven't watched "Irvine Welsh's Crime" on BritBox there's still time to remedy that fact! And while I wouldn't kiss one of my clients, even if he were as appealing as Dougray Scott, surely there should be a Dougray Scott/Sieze the Day exception, somewhere. @irvinewelsh.bsky.social

The fact that people actually give a fuck is the real disease.

My money - for what it’s worth - is on Labour.

Lovely to hear 'Man from Leith' featured as @irvinewelsh.bsky.social Vinyl Pick on Grant Stott's #VinylCollective 🙏 #VinylIsBest www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Listen here 👇

Experimental documentary Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough premiered at Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this week. I'm chuffed to be able to share my interview with @irvinewelsh.bsky.social and director Paul Sng. #EIFF25 cinemaperspective.com/2025/08/22/r...

@irvinewelsh.bsky.social What do you think Welshy, did Rent Boy like my shirt?

“This God guy, right, they say he’s a good guy…I like to work with good guys. This Heaven sounds good. Like golfing facilities…you could spend I dunno… billions of taxpayers money… they would never be as good. But if dont get into heaven… that’s not good. Maybe he’s not the guy we all think he is”

@irvinewelsh.bsky.social thanks, Irvine. No question i'm picking Men in Love up somewhere. Once read it'll go on my Welsh shelf! (Skagboys missing as currently reading in prep!)

If anyone is going through #Manchesterairport in the next couple of weeks could you check if the book store has @irvinewelsh.bsky.social 's 'Men in Love' in stock. Its earmarked as holiday reading but if i can pick it up on paperback thats better than packing the HB. Thanks in advance! #holidayreads

Rooney-say beats lunacy

Recently re-read #Glue by @irvinewelsh.bsky.social got me thinking that it would be a brilliant TV series. Like a Scottish version of My Friends in the North maybe?

Just finished @irvinewelsh.bsky.social Men in Love and i feel a mixture of love and a need to swear. Ya cuntye.

@irvinewelsh.bsky.social irvine, honestly. MEN IN LOVE is an absolutely blinding read. Smashed it back during an all inclusive week in Mallorca. Beautifully done. Thank you mate. I can't muster up the words to describe Sick Boy or Franco. Predatory might do it for the pair of them.

Thanks to @irvinewelsh.bsky.social for this great quote about my ‘Live Forever’ book on #oasis www.amazon.co.uk/Live-Forever...

Remembering Tony Wilson, who died #OTD 2007.

Maybe I read too many cultural signs into a commercial consumer stampede, but the Oasis gig last night felt like a big post-lockdown moment. The band, like the crowd, were amazing.

Finally! Thank you, señor postman. (Kind of been waiting since 1993.) @irvinewelsh.bsky.social
