A week on from the Timmy Yaxy-Lemon march I was expecting to hear about a surge in church attendance. Did I miss it?

Tuesday

Happy 4th anniversary to the time this happened on Twitter.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Reform UK’s HQ reportedly imposed on its Croydon branch an “approved” candidate - who had been dead for six months

Hotel breakfast rant: there are three iron pans on the buffet with scrambled eggs, baked beans & mushrooms. Of the three serving spoons supplied, at least two will be coated in filthy bean juice. What is wrong with these animals? Another reason why beans are not part of a civilised breakfast.

Found this on my old laptop

The BBC’s decision to pull a documentary about Israeli war crimes in Gaza shows how its enforcement of 'impartiality' almost always benefits just one side www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-right-...

Pope: As a Peruvian, I frequently ask myself "What would Paddington do?"

Alas Smith and Jones. One for the marketing youths out there.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Sunday morning recreation

ICYMI A statue commemorating Brian Haw was unveiled in London this week. "Stop Killing The Kids" Nothing has changed. The bombing goes on. andtherewasbrian.uk

You would need a hole in your head to waste time sifting through the JFK files.

UK musicians hit with £914M+ loss post-Brexit. Streams, tickets, vinyl - it’s grim. Join @europeanmovement.co.uk to sign the petition: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/brexit_music...

It's started. If judges are ignored then the only next step is for the military and that makes us a police state.

Greenland, Eggs And Ham?? Donny's been reading his picture books.

A clear message that BBC News is failing its audience. For the truth you may have to look elsewhere.

Fuck me, he’s bought Frankie Howard’s wig!

“Sorry, chap, you’ve got to take one for the team,” the King said.

Spend an evening at your local small venue. Go to see new acts. Support the work of @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social

Tufty got a raw deal #doomwatch

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Whenever OPM is mentioned, that tune comes into my head....... 🎶 Heaven is a Halfwit

I thought Dumbold normally kissed the other ring

Well, that went down like a bowl of cold sick

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

@coyleneil.bsky.social I'm sure your constituents (myself included) would love to read your views on today's Thames Water bailout. Years of siphoning off funds to shareholders while our infrastructure has crumbled-now we are looking at hikes in charges to pay off the debts. An utter disgrace.

There's a sense from the big Guardian piece on Reform that the party is staffed by the kind of young, rich males who had to make a series of mysterious, unexpected moves from a succession of minor public schools.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Not even a week into February and January doesn't seem like so much of a shit show now, more a prologue.

#Normal for Bermondsey

Wistful memories of the Cold War. The President's Brain would go missing and he would joke about bombing the Soviets. The new incumbent is keener to start on his neighbours. Funny old world-nothing learned in 40 years.

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER

Brighton. Dead calm but moody.

Chance of a Father Ted book? Go on, go on, go on

What could possibly go wrong?

A brief comment from your UK art correspondent youtu.be/xGCKn2MKJGM?...

The plight of the UK grassroots music scene and work of @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social getting some international attention

Some excellent young acts out on tour this year. These smaller rooms offer a chance to see great performers close up at very reasonable prices. Take a punt & support a small local venue!
