@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your interview with Kevin Rowland. I respect his candidness.

on this day in 1992 Spinal Tap headlined the Great Canadian Party at Vancouver's Thunderbird Stadium Rumour has it they've reunited, although the drummer has blown up @spinaltap11.bsky.social @spinaltapquotes.bsky.social @classicrockmag.bsky.social

@bobbyllew.bsky.social nice retro pic from my telly, Sir. All best.

@bobbyllew.bsky.social must admit I'm disappointed

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

"Remember: The #oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it." #Trump @rbreich.bsky.social

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

What is wrong with some people? Manners cost nothing.

There must be a reason why neither Murdoch nor Rothermere papers are calling out excessive billionaire influence in democratic politics right now, but I just can't think of it

WaPo cartoonist resigns after Post rejects her cartoon of billionaires paying tribute to Donald Trump, one of whom happens to be her boss, Jeff Bezos. Satire has literally died. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Johnnie Walker obituary

Here are just some of the now deleted Tweets previously put out by the man Kemi Badenoch has just made an ennobled peer of the realm

Musk’s X is intensifying the radicalisation of the UK right. They loudly, uncritically support Trump. Johnson compares Labour with Harold Shipman. Jenrick rushes to use the Magdeburg tragedy for political ends. They’re Musk’s useful idiots: envoys of hatred and intolerance. Incapable of integrity.

Attendance at the House of Lords should be paid at the same rate as Universal Credit. I mean, it's enough to live on, isn't it?

Every word of this is a damn lie.

This is sort of fascinating because if you were to turn on pretty much any talk radio station or pick up any tabloid, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was the inverse.

Remember it’s not normal for a FBI director - appointed by the president-elect himself to serve a 10 year term 7 years ago - to resign in this way, and it’s normal to nominate someone as unqualified as Patel to replace him. None of this is normal - and should not be normalized by the news media!

Vividly recall many on so-called progressive wing of politics being hyper-critical of Blair. We finished up with something much worse post-2010. Same pattern manifesting itself re: Starmer. This time, that risks a political outcome even worse post-2029.

Moscow: a nest of international pariahs.

There's a big difference between being on the spectrum and being a sociopath

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme”👏 Our youth have been robbed of the freedom of movement we enjoyed - this is the absolute least the Gov’t can do for them sussexbylines.co.uk/news/educati...

OMG, this would be HILARIOUS! 😆

Nothing to see here ... #Trump #Ukraine #Carlson www.thedailybeast.com/putins-pals-...

"We've got a pretty biased media", Alastair Campbell says on Question Time, about the Labour Government's short honeymoon period. Such a simple and obvious point, but how often do we ever hear it said? The panel moved on quickly.

Alastair Campbell, "Kevin Hollindrake is being disingenuous saying the current state of the government is down to this government in the short time they've been there" #BBCQT "When Labour talk about inheriting a broken Britain, I'm afraid they did"

Listen up, Britain. #bbcqt

"Migrants, illegal or legal, weren't responsible for austerity. That was the Conservative government. Migrants were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss' failure of leadership." Brilliant Question Time audience contribution 👏

Instead, what U.S. corporate media is doing right now is running up to a man who has clearly just lit a house on fire with a still-burning tiki torch and put a microphone in his face as the reporter solemnly intones, A LOT OF HOUSES ARE BEING BURNED DOWN RIGHT NOW, LET'S ASK THIS MAN IF HE KNOWS WHY

Musk’s tweeting behaviour mapped. Notice both the hours and the intensity. It’s clearly an addiction bundled in with spiralling narcissism. Will be interesting to see if there is a crash at some point.

@scaramucci.bsky.social thoughts?

My colleagues are unable to speak up or voice their opinions because their mortgages are literally on the line. So allow me: we believe @tortoise simply does not have the cash reserves. We believe this is the death of a 240-year-old newspaper.
