I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Yes,,, your boy has taken a ride in the 4 man bobsled,,, but im an adrenaline junkie and needed to try skeleton. And now I’ve officially joined the team and am gonna try to start competing. 66 years old going 66 mph.

Good thread @james-wilson-brew.bsky.social @petercpfc.bsky.social

Sad to hear of the passing of Andrew Ranken, drummer with the Pogues. I saw him play live with Mysterious Wheels a couple of times, also with the Pogues a couple of dozen times. youtu.be/XCLXBvrYAO4?...

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Bless my cotton socks.... Reward by the Teardrop Explodes is 45 years old today. Here's the official video for the single, which was released on this day in 1981 youtu.be/o2_sJHPIbVw

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

The resemblance is scaringly uncanny...........

There's a "Yes, Minister" quote for everything. "Sir Humphrey Appleby: Think of it as a child's tantrum over a rice pudding. Won't touch it today and yet wants two helpings tomorrow."

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

Spring.

U-Labour.

Three Warringtons and two Huddersfield’s, that’s a full house in railway upgrade poker.

Huddersfield! So good they named it twice but not so good it can compete with all the Warringtons

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Lots of new followers this morning. Are people finally getting the message that the other place is a shitshow owned by a right wing nut job? Hope so.

We are looking at doing a Heritage Cask Festival this year and would love to know what UK Breweries do you see as Historic, Heritage or Traditional?

@keithbeard.bsky.social I expect you have already seen the opening frame of David Squire’s cartoon. In case not here it is.

Bernardo Silva, all of three feet tall and looking like a novice monk in a Zurbaran painting, gets away with being a top candidate for the title of dirtiest player in the PL week after week. Even better at this than Casemiro was with Real. Never mentioned in comms either.

Get ready for Phase Two: a raid on Oslo to seize the Peace Prize.

We Didn't Start the Fire. With Bardot's passing three people mentioned in the song remain alive

Reminder that Henry Hoovers are made in Britain by a unionised workforce

Well, happy anniversary to one of the finest of festive exchanges

Half Ma’am Half Brisket

In the top ten of Christmas songs, without doubt and on some days No 1. The Kinks - Father Christmas www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPC...

If Gen A are ever interested in what Teletext felt like, I'll ask them to tell me what the 5th bus to arrive will be

Get a load of this. 😆

Was at a funeral earlier where a @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social poem was read: “I sometimes fear that people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress”.

I suspect you have to be quite racist to stand out as "the racist guy" at a boys public school of the 1980s.

@deserterblog.bsky.social Not just a Bum Dosser, but an AI Bum Dosser that fibs when caught dossing.

Watching a brass band play in a brewery in The Black Forest as a warm up to watching Crystal Palace play in Strasbourg later this week.

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social I just listened to your most recent podcast (how I found…), one of your best ones to date.

This image of The Slits by Terry Lott is apparently from a 'Photoshoot At Home Of Band Member In New Cross'. I've seen it dated from 1981 and 1987, former seems more likely as they split up in '82 - for the sake of my completist SE14 obsession, does anybody know who lived where?

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

If the Tartan Army don't start singing "With those goals you are sending Scotland to America" they are missing a trick.

To all you Palace supporters out there, I have come up with a song to the tune of I’m a believer by The Monkees.

Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

BLOG POST: “It’s still a breathtaking to stand on that beach. To hear water lapping over stone, intensified by the passing of passenger boats, and the cries of seabirds. And to sense that beneath your feet, no doubt, are the stems of a million clay pipes.” boakandbailey.com/2025/10/the-...

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9
