Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

uh holy SHIT?

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

It’s with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ken Downie on 20/12/25. Rest In Peace brother, you will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Our condolences to Sheena and his family.

Would love to make this though can't (clash with ALFOS), but looks like a great line up for a great cause.

Huge line-up assembling for Dance For Tan Brighton at the end of Jan, a fundraiser to help raise monies for Tania Sansom's ongoing treatment to battle MS. Early bird tickets going fast. X www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Bri...

Really enjoyed interviewing Fatboy Slim for The Making Of 'Rockafeller Skank' mini-doc. Norm, who is always a great interviewee and engaging explainer, made it during his late 90s purple patch. Its mash-up with the Stones' 'Satisfaction' has finally been released. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFyA...

The powerful video for this song movingly demonstrates the humanity, humility, defiance and righteous strenth of a cross-section of Palestinian people in the face of the ongoing genocide. All profits from the single go to the Together for Palestine Fund. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G957...

Columnists! People who make videos of their own heads! Do you know nothing about autism & its complexity? Never read a word about it, but seen something about SEND reform and what Badenoch/Tice said the other day? Top tip: Just sound off about "overdiagnosis" and get another week's beer money

Gig day today, hope to see some of you later. 3pm-11pm Big Chill King’s Cross. Details here - with donation info alongside the ticket link too, for anyone who can't make it but wants to support the cause www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mutton-rol...

This is a pretty good cover version by The Damned of the early Pink Floyd single. X www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEDK...

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Probably, yes.

Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies. Marion Davies!

This is what will happen to Labour. By copying Denmark's hardline immigration policies, as announced by Home Sec today, they'll lose London, the country & the next election. In fact, given their incompetence since taking power, it feels like they've already lost. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

New album by Corserine is out today on Out yer Box, the sister label to Jack Said What. Channeling the spirit of yacht rock, 80s synth pop and the airy vibe of French touch, it's an affecting musical listening experience. @irvinewelsh.bsky.social bfan.link/better-than-...

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

The first record I remember buying with my own pocket money — as opposed to Wombles things my brother and I seemed to acquire etc — was this beast from the local Woolies by the Boomtown Rats. Got to No.1, thanks to me (maybe). Not long after, I got sucked into the 2-Tone phenomenon and I was away. X

Booked in to go see this film on Thursday at BFI IMAX in London, part of the wicked @docnrollfilms.bsky.social festival. Film looks great, really looking forward to seeing it. #HouseMusic #HouseMusicAllLifeLong www.docnrollfestival.com/films/move-y...

I'd love to continue writing about the audio industry which has changed beyond recognition in the last decade. So if you're looking for a pod reviewer/commentator or would like to expand your pod coverage, please get in touch!

Was in the exceedingly multi-cultural area of Coventry, Stoke Park, at the weekend & some racist twonk had stickered all of the lamp-posts on both sides of the street with St George Crosses. The giveaway was 'Greens out, Reform in' written on one. Tore them down manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-...

Call me old fashioned, but I'd wager that people like these three neo-Nazis — who amassed an arsenal of 200 weapons — deserve to be labelled as 'domestic terrorists' a little bit more than some elderly vicars and grannies holding up a placard opposing a genocide. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A reminder to the Europeans watching, the US has no real history of general strikes. So, this is what the Americans can do and they are doing it in a big way even if the media is not covering it that much.

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

DJ/producer and Leftroom Records founder Matt Tolfrey has died. RIP 🤍 djmag.com/news/matt-to...

Is C4 suggesting that Kemi Badenoch has delivered her final conference speech as Tory leader already? I mean, she could've promised everybody in the UK a free house, or anything else — she's not going to get in next election. But how long will she last, & what other horrors might follow? (Jenerick)?

And he’s back!! Sunday isn’t Sunday without Stewart Lee. We were so thrilled at @thenerve.news that Stewart came with us. His satirical columns for the Observer were some of our most-read content: funny, surreal, angry true. Essential weekend reading. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

On Friday evening (10th Oct) I'm warming up for the ace DJ Yoda at @concorde2.bsky.social on Brighton seafront, playing beats & breaks. Yoda does a brilliant audio-visual hip-hop show, like a history lesson. It's fresh, funky, & frankly unmissable. Come! Tix: www.concorde2.co.uk/event/dj-yod...

Gaza flotilla members allege beatings and insults in Israeli detention

Been playing this in my DJ sets since hearing it in a taxi in May, in amongst all the cool underground house tunes etc - not even a guilty pleasure, more like a secret weapon. Banger.

On way down to Brighton for Dance For Peace, a daytime party on the seafront with all proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Tickets still available on the door, looking forward to seeing some Brighton pals. #FreePalestine
