Labour continuing its Making Plans for Nigel in plain sight.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

Anjelica to Jack, in #PrizzisHonor: "Ya wanna do it? So let's do it." "With all the lights on?" "Yeah. Right here. On the Oriental. With all the lights on".

Reposting this, just for the clicks.

This (and the rest of this thread) is a beautiful tonic.

From @ericidle.bsky.social & Neil Innes' brilliant & criminally overlooked/unavailable RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION, here's a truncated glimpse of George Harrison's Christmas 1975 guest appearance runner, where he didn't want to perform a song - He really just wanted to play a pirate...

The #Rutles Origin Story (feat. the much missed David Batley on bass).

The Godlike Genius that was NI.

One more bit of @ericidle.bsky.social & Neil Innes RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION brilliance, from the end of the show's first series (season for us Yanks)... THIS is how you wrap a run of episodes...

Lovely pods.

No one should have to face such threats. It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

Five minutes into #SoundOfCinema on #BBCRadio3, it's now a drinking game, a shot for every superlative, a double for "iconic" and I'm already pissed* *off

Study involving 10,000 people finds that listening to music could reduce the risk of dementia by almost 40%. Get your records out! Make up your playlists! Get your headphones on! [But don't play your tunes too loud, you don't want hearing loss.] www.sciencealert.com/listening-to...

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in. Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Hey hey...

Also, we're the young generation, and we've got something to say... #ZCars

"Many people arrested after January 6 said the only reason they rioted was because of what Trump said," says Lewis Goodall. “Yet, if you listen to all of this, the conclusion is that the sin of that day is a 10 second edit on a BBC programme" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/insi...

Well worth catching up with on #TPTVencore. Directed by John McGrath and as gritty as it's funny.

Terrible news: Rachel Cooke has died. She was 56. When I was lucky enough to commission her at The Observer, I wanted her to write everything. She was seriously witty and crystalline in her argument when being serious, which she was on a dazzling range of topics. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

If you listen to music you probably know Fanfare for the Common Man, arguably the greatest hit of Aaron Copland. But since it’s his 125th birthday, why not listen to Quiet City, his haunting, achingly beautiful 8-minute marvel for trumpet, cor anglais and strings? m.youtube.com/watch?v=SvRK...

Hopped through this and wondered if Raymond Williams got to review it for The Daily Express...?

Been playing around with an idea for a thing. Is this a thing?

I'm currently beating a music icon and a tv presenter by an astonishing 5 pounds! Look, if you bid on my dried-up Sharpie sketch I PROMISE never to release a Christmas record or show my bald head on daytime tv 👍 astarauction.com/getsmart25

Labour seem to have decided, this week, that the electoral punishment for breaking a promise no one much expected them to keep when they made it will be bigger than the punishment for failing to deliver on the core premise of their whole campaign (the slogan was "Change"). I'm not so sure.

I think they should fully reform Council Tax because that would Gerald a shift from taxing income to assets in the long term. But they won't. #rabbitstare

Highly recommend #DeathByLightning, not least for all the East Wing references. Michael Shannon, the epitome of a good & proud American (ie not unhinged) & Matthew MacFadyen properly unhinged. Filmed in Hungary, too.

The Trump administration wants you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead. Now why might that be...? 🤔 www.bylinesupplement.com/p/gb-news-ca...

"The BBC and Keir Starmer’s Labour government share much in common. They are easily bullied and too often afraid, as non-populists too often are, of exercising their own power." Spot on @lewisgoodall.com . Excellent piece!

A new strike by resident (formerly ‘junior’) doctors is planned for tomorrow morning, and will last until 19 November. Our updated article now includes details of the dispute over training places, along with what resident doctors earn and what the union is asking for 👇

Really enjoyed discussing the "lifetime guarantee" with the supplier today. "Oh yeh, it has the guarantee. But, obvusly, not on the working parts. Obvusly." #obvusly
