Weird song mashups: Calling Sister Morphine

Most newspapers illustrate articles with pointless pictures, poorly (if at all, by a human) researched; but the Times is particularly crap at this. bsky.app/profile/idio...

Review: Peep Show by Kate Summerscale; Inside 10 Rillington Place by Peter Thorley - Two books about a notorious multiple murder case that prompted public debate about the death penalty and continues to fascinate true crime historians. Grim reading, though. www.iclr.co.uk/blog/reviews...

I’m getting quite fed up with all these badly parked Limebikes. But no one cares anout pedestrians, do they? @islington-council.bsky.social

Putting glam back into the country is no bad thing. Glam rocks.

Time was, The Battle of Epping Forest was just a rather fun track on a prog rock album.

So cheesed off I missed this bunfight.

I’m guessing he knows his onions.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you Microsoft pretending to know about grammar.

This looks lovely, but you do realise all the same traffic (and noise and fumes) is just being fed into a narrower street the other side of those buildings. So all you've added is some dry-tolerant patches of grasses and a few benches.

This is funny and true

Yes, yes, yes. The government fetishisation of Oxbridge only enhances their elitism. It endorses the bias of employers and the civil service at the expense of millions of other bright students. There's more to life than sherry.

It's actually a tiny mouth. It's like a boastful belly button.

Yes it is wonderful. Destined to be a cult classic.

Wow. Judicial office really ahead of the game here. Publishing a judgment ten years in advance. Who left the key in the time machine?

@london.gov.uk thanks for allowing these Lime bikes to completely block the pavement.

Lovely story, but I can't believe @joshuarozenberg.bsky.social didn't use the phrase "quilty as charged" or "pleading quilty" or "proof of quilt" or something equally bad. I certainly would have done. (Sorry.) rozenberg.substack.com/p/quilting-n...?

Lord Reed’s speech on “Trust in the courts in an age of populism” is well worth reading in its entirety. It’s very balanced, strong particularly on the need for mutual respect, better education & understanding of the role of the courts. supremecourt.uk/uploads/spee...

@islington-council.bsky.social this savage broken paving on Essex Road by Islington Green needs fixing before it injures someone else.

Been listening to the Allman Bros again. Dug out Brothers and Sisters - such a cracking good album.

Interesting.

My boiler is making breathing noises. Or I am going mad. Creepy. Maybe I'm being gas-lighted. Or more appropriately, gas-winded.

Picture House cinemas are great (ish) when you get there, but just try using their website to find out what's on. You can't see anything because the stupid ticket booking things gets in the way. They don't have an account on here so I'm probably just pissing in the wind.

Voters overwhelmingly support the idea of other people paying for things they want.
