Wrote this a couple of weeks ago. Feels more relevant still after today. And it’s a deficit of self awareness which goes far beyond some members of the BBC board.

Charity shop scores today, a Lucius Shepard I don't know, a signed Stephen Spender and a copy of literally the worst novel ever written.

That's Dave.

Ignore the old texts at your peril

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

The monkey furiously slams the bone against the rock before tossing it into the air. The camera follows it as it rotates in slow motion. On the screen you see the words: *stitch incoming*

This week I have mostly been listening to

There's a local news story about some pub quiz cheaters getting caught and I don't think this is a good example of people getting a question right suspiciously. Who do you think the primary audience for 90s hip hop is??

I know so much useless shit I could've easily become one of those YouTube shorts people who recites factoids in an annoying voice.

"I will never watch a Jennifer Garner movie cos her neck weirds me out." - @upthetwerx.bsky.social

This seems like a good time to remind people that everyone in politics and media knew very well that Johnson was a bent, disastrous imbecile and that he was made Tory leader *specifically because* he was the candidate the Mail, the Sun, the Times, the Telegraph and the Express would all get behind.

Larry Summers Announces He Will Step Down From Chair With Belt Around Neck

named my son Sue in the hopes of imbuing him with a sort of gentle, nurturing femininity and it fucking backfired Big Time

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

Me to my class: some of you will have seen the dozens of messages between me and the world's most famous pedophile, where I refer to him as my "wing man." Sorry about that. Now then, let's talk about what the blind man represents in "Cathedral"

Why is my mum messaging the family groupchat about Daddy Yankee?

Most listened to albums of 2025 so far

The effect of clickbait on internet writing of all kinds is funny. This article takes five paragraphs before it says 'blues' as anyone with a passing familiarity of who Waits is could've told you in a second. Feel like everyone's playing some weird game of adult peekaboo all the time.

make something new! here im gonna take literally 15 seconds: a donkey wants to be a rodeo horse. songs by tyler childers.

I think we might have discovered something even more pathetic than this

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

Oh cool, indentured servitude. Legally recognised throughout the democratic world as a form of unfree labour aka slavery. Also literally how the people traffickers that this legislation is supposedly meant to stop imprison their victims.

Anything advertised to me on instagram immediately feels like a scam, even if it's a site I've used many times before.

It’s the same thing as the terfery really: it’s just being an arsehole and a busybody, seething at people who are just quietly going about their business without harming or bothering anyone.

New show featuring the likes of Acheron's Reticuli, Sister Irene O'Connor and Mega Bog. www.mixcloud.com/isitworking/...

The end of Stranger Things is a big deal for me, someone who has not seen a second of the show but wore Stranger Things socks for several years after getting an amazing bulk buy clearance deal.

Crucified skin tattoo but it reads "Come Down From the Cross We Could Use the Wood"

Started playing Where the Winds Meet and I lasted like 30 seconds before the voice-acting was so grating that I had to change it to Chinese dialogue so it didn't piss me off.

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

Any book where I see this shit on the back in a bookshop I immediately put down never to think about again.

Again, it would be hugely useful if the lobby hacks could get visibly tattooed with the sigils of their patrons like the familiars in Blade, so we can easily tell who owns which ones,

Reading Dennis Cooper and watching the sporting event of the year (World Scrabble Finals)

At some point, for the love of God, will someone ANYONE at long last take the council funding crisis seriously?!? Because THIS is what will break down a society, not some poor soul escaping incredible dangers, arriving on our shores.

When Bruce Springsteen sang "at night, we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines", he was talking about people who log on to LinkedIn after 6pm to write fanfiction about how good they are at their job.

I was gonna be like "haha REVEALED: Maven not very good at wrestling!" and that is in fact about exactly what he says lol

As an aging punk who often feels painfully disconnected from the thing that gave my life meaning for so long the new Home Front record's weaponised ruefulness is designed in a lab to make me feel things.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Wait no the actual funniest part is that Oates was saying Musk is so obviously miserable and lonely that life's simplest pleasures are beyond him but his greasy, flat brain couldn't understand that point so he just went "if I haven't seen any movies explain why I've seen this movie"

lol she got his ass and he knows it

It is really funny the NY Times has a reporter whose "beat" is college campus cancel culture shit. That's like having a reporter reporting on WWE storylines

There she is.
