Normal Starmer Angry Starmer

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

'Don't put it in the papers that Israel talked me into the war with Iran'

Talk about timing.... Also, is it really a 'breaking news' scoop if the headline contains the word 'apparently'. He either did or he didn't. I know there are legalities to consider but still. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Three pieces of garbage through my door over the past 10 days from Reform. Just one from the Greens & Lab. Tiny part of me wishing the mfs would knock on my door.

Had a huge earworm for this last week, here we go again.

Think this is the first Strokes song I've enjoyed in over 20 years.

This picture of Trump at his little desk should be wheeled out more often. Makes him look like the child he is.

Just finished this, one of the best 20th century history books I've read in ages, a gripping read.

Just slow-cooked some Wagyu Beef short ribs from Aldi in a lovely stew. Absolutely sensational, would buy again.

If you like power pop, I made this playlist that might please please you. open.spotify.com/playlist/5zY...

#nufc now have the chance to do the funniest thing next week.

Shockingly depressing and extremely stupid thing for a Labour cabinet minister to say.

This is the dilemma for the club, and it makes sticking with Eddie a huge risk. #nufc

Our local curry restaurant had it's windows smashed in by scumbags and a load of spirits stolen. They've posted about it on FB, it's the second time it's happened & they're naturally upset. There were tons of supportive/angry comments. And then someone who's asked 'do you do gluten free?'

It is very funny imagining Trump seeing this.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL NEWS STORIES!!!

Looking for something new to watch. Has anyone watched The Diplomat on Netflix? Any good?

Well, I felt nothing after that. #nufc

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

A peaceful 4 weeks not having to go & watch #nufc comes to and end today.

Totally. Fascinating long read. See who you recognise close to you in this article. Checking Facebook to see ‘which bins to put out’ is the newer, and far more aggressive, ‘I just get the Mail for the crossword’.

After a three-week break, Young Punctum deluxe reboots are now back on! This week it's August 1974. Bit of relevant time-travelling right at the end #hangonintherebaby: funthirty.blogspot.com/2025/03/augu...

Such a high hit rate on this 1983 #totp. Not a single thing to be skipped.

this is really extraordinary and it contains all of those things about guitar delta blues that seemed to be missed especially by white imitators: the approach to meter is as weird and complex as j dilla, and the approach to harmony so divorced from western hegemony as to sound avant garde

I see you're all being unacceptably lukewarm about Words by FR David. #totp

Do you love the 80s? Do you watch the #TOTP repeats on a Friday, like now, at the moment? Then I almost guarantee you will LOVE this book of mine tracing the many stories of pop through the decade, month by month. Contains everybody ever, and more!

Watching this 1983 #totp on a 15 min delay.

Oh wow, wonderful song!

#totp youtu.be/zuCkT9Ha5hU?...

whoever this is, they are amazing

Happy 75th birthday to the wonderful Peak District. I took my old hiking maps and pasted them to the top of our landing for a large map of that special place

CAN HE AYE?

Similar view here. My memory at the time was thinking 'Mandelson has slagged Trump off a *lot*, so why would they do this?'.

The jogger

In my 50s and starting to see the lads who were big drinkers back in the day (and kept going) suffer badly. Take it easy. The "have it" 90s has a lot to answer for.

Wow! How have I never heard this before?

'What is a corner store?' 'I invented the word groceries.' Wow this guy really understands the average voter.

He's clearly just hanging on until after the local elections isn't he?

Important News: Words by FR David on #totp tonight.

Nottingham Forest players pay tribute to Elliot Anderson after reaching the semi-finals following the passing of his mother.

Whenever they post this pic it looks like Bloc Party were guests on a game show like The Weakest Link.

This is excellent

The thing about 1996 is that musically, a lot of it was spent basking in what came out in 94-95. Most of the big acts didn't release anything and the ones who did were mainly pale imitations, 2nd & 3rd tier acts. I spent a lot of it getting deeper into hip hop, old soul & funk & Bob Dylan instead.

Am now regretting cancelling TNT when #nufc were knocked out of the CL.....

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Both my sons discovered Sultans Of Swing through the algorithm and absolutely loved it so this doesn't surprise me.

A fabulous piece by Ian Penman in the @lrb.co.uk on the transcendent genius that was the music of Brian Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

'shares soaring' when a shoe company says it will stop making shoes and get into AI instead has a distinct 'madness before a crash' feel about it.
