I have been to a fair amount of gigs over two decades. That Magdalena Bay one at the O2 might be top 5. What a band.

Jeffrey Epstein took more photos of people he only hung out with once than I have of my best friends of 15 years

Liverpool got everything they deserved for another utterly abject performance tonight. Bournemouth had won one in 14 prior to this, but they were up against a side that has been in bottom-half form since September. This squad is flawed, but should they be this bad? Not a chance.

Back at work for 2026

Turgid, dire, dull, passionless, flat, predictable, slow, weak, bereft of fight, effort, creativity and desire with no fight and no direction - none of this should ever be possible if playing for the reds - they are just the bare minimums #LFC

‘I’m not going to tell them I’m a police officer’ says the woman who looks more like a police officer than any other person in the entire world #Traitors

But he is the middle management by definition because the secret traitor is giving them directions. This kept winding me up 🤪

How on earth did Man Utd win that?!

Final Scottish Parliament poll tracker of the year, before the Christmas holidays start in earnest. SNP projected one short of a majority. Seats (+/- 2021): SNP: 64 (-) Lab: 18 (-4) Ref: 18(+18) Grn: 12 (+4) Con: 9 (-22) LD: 8 (+4) Alba: 0 (-) 20 marginals: 16 SNP, 3 Labour, 1 Conservative. 1/3

We were literally playing Driving Home for Christmas an hour ago while heading to my parents. Very sad. A fixture in my Dad's collection growing up.

Glad we won, but Liverpool were an absolute disgrace in those last ten minutes. Why were we letting the ball bounce and knocking it long?!! We had a two-man advantage, just pass around them ffs!!! 😂 #LFC

My top 50 albums of the 2020s in rough order. Makes me tempted to indulge in some lightweight listicle blogging again 🤡

RIP Rob Reiner :(

The Glasgow e-bikes are lit

Gakpo is full of endeavour, but he really overthinks his last ball/shot. It’s v frustrating #LFC

Roger Ebert

Woke nonsense

I’m sorry, but nine losses in 12 and we aren’t improving. If Slot doesn’t win at the weekend, he has to go. #LFC

This list thinks that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is funnier than Blazing Saddles. There are very few matters of taste that I can say are absolutely definitely definitively wrong, but that is one of them.

Liverpool are absolutely tragic.

I would say Eddie Howe is for the chopping block, but I don’t want to give Newcastle’s owners ideas…

SPOILER: the secret to winning Traitors… is to be objectively bad at lying. Who knew? 😂 #TheTraitors

Conor Bradley, the former Gaelic football player, putting Los galacticos to the sword. Los gaelictico if you will… #LIVRMA

UN leaders condemn ‘horrifying’ mass killings in Sudan

This Liverpool side is an embarrassment. I don’t care how much money we’ve spent or how players need to “adapt”, defending like that is criminal at any level. #BRELIV

Are we really going to do this every game? FFS.

Been in Japan the past two weeks, including for my birthday, and it’s been incredible.

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

This is what my inbox looks like right now. I’m not paying to see Mr Worldwide, I’m sorry.

Okay, I’m gonna say it: Andor is the best Star Wars-related thing since the original trilogy and almost makes up for its Disneyfication/oversaturation.

I *ahem* agree with this sensible chap

📢 Changes are proposed to Scotland’s FOI laws. The Freedom of Information Reform (Scotland) Bill aims to make it easier to access information and hold public services to account. Listen to Standards Committee Convener @martinwhitfieldmsp.bsky.social and have your say by 22 Oct 🔗 ow.ly/V83p50X5EOR

That’s one of the worst matches i’ve ever witnessed and the ref should be in The Hague. That is all. #GALLIV

Damn, the gooner gloating just about outdoes the Geordie fume for me. Annoying result. #NEWARS

She's not my thing at all, and the critic is entitled to say he dislikes her stuff, but the plagiarism accusations seem unreasonable and "worst poet since McGonagall" is hyperbolic in the extreme. I wrote far worse during my English degree lol

Does social media monitoring still exist at national media titles? Below are excerpts from emails that I’ve sent in complaints to @heraldscotland.bsky.social and @dailyrecord.co.uk, but they’re not the only culprits. Their FB pages in particular are rife with racist, bigoted and violent comments.

Doubt I have any Livi fan pals on here, but regardless, I’m setting up a Fans Supporting Foodbanks collection with fellow volunteers. Any support appreciated! www.facebook.com/share/p/16ws...

Another ridiculous goal from Salah 😮‍💨 #LIVATM

Alcaraz is insane 🤯🎾 #usopen

Twitter is evil but BlueSky is boring. It’s pretty much as simple as that for those of us trying to ween ourselves off the former lol

Okay…. Having listened to the new deftones record about 8 times, I can conclude that it is … good. Like all deftones records. So glad I sometimes get paid for this music journalism malarkey 👍
