Typical negative nonsense from The Mail here of course but, don’t most of their nostalgia loving readers love the idea of going back to the 1970’s. Real bin men, you could leave your front door open & play in the streets till dark, Love thy Neighbour on the TV etc etc…

@secondcaptains.bsky.social This is one hell of a great title for a podcast episode - bravo fellas 👏…

As he has blamed “The Establishment” again let’s just get this right - make no mistake, Farage literally is The Establishment

Lovely! A good moment to say, despite what some folk would like you to think that most people the world over are decent

Widow’s Bay is about as close to perfect that a TV series can get. Brilliantly written, directed and acted throughout - bravo to everyone involved.

Context for Belfast riots

Happened upon this last night - a lovely little doc about theTV show Moviedrome. Was a big favourite of mine back in the day.., youtu.be/TuA_m2llcRQ?...

So this is the lead story on yesterday’s parade from today’s Standard. 24 arrests from a crowd of 1.5m is remarkable. No surprise coming from Standard but this just isn’t the story to lead with on a really positive day for London.

I DON'T THINK MUCH OF PARIS.

@slasherrrr.bsky.social 👂👋

Does that include the £5mn?

@arsenalvpodcast.bsky.social Tim’s description of his emotions during and post the VAR check were sensationally good. I was laughing so much when he said his tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth. Bravo mate 👏👏👏

Talked to an HVAC guy who's working two jobs to pay rent. He has no savings and worries about retirement. Tariffs have made it hard for him to import parts. Then this big strong guy who never cries, he said, he said to me, "I just wish Trump's signature was on the dollar." Then he burst out crying.

I’m watching Marty Supreme - feels like a chore

Arsenal need to lean into these "boring"/"time-wasting"/"Set Piece FC" accusations. Let the wider world sneer. Create a siege mentality. Dig in. Be mean. For around two decades they were accused of being too soft, now they are apparently the opposite. Ride the hate-wave.

Arsenal being lectured by a young man with a comb over - love it!

I would 100% take Mosquera off at HT. He’s one silly foul away from a red card.

Just finished the HBO Billy Joel documentary. Very long but absolutely worth it whether you are a fan or not - I am btw.

What Arteta said to his players on Monday morning to try and break the "pressure bubble" But is Arteta's "intensity" and desire for control now something that needs to be tempered - especially in attack? Has he come to a realisation? www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Simon Marks on LBC - Absolutely excellent in his reporting of current situation in USA 👏👏👏

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

It’s not ‘fantasy’: I know Nigel Farage abused people for their nationality – because I was one of them | Rickard Berg

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Not many good Bowie covers, I’ve always thought this was terrific…https://open.spotify.com/track/7pX6V2Qc4Q6lcHRtyovWu4?si=KXtmIo6iS7q82ib_GPJNEQ

The first episode of The Chair Company has some lovely elements but I feel like it lost its way after that. Shame, Tim Robinson is always watchable

We are sad to hear that the distinguished photographer Martin Parr has died. In 2002 we asked him to direct the video for our song “London” and he made a short film which was instantly recognisable as his work. We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Neil and Chris xx

Farage stood in front of a billboard during the Brexit referendum campaign, showing a crowd of black and brown faces apparently “invading” Britain ✏️ @paulmason.bsky.social

People who dislike Pluribus (which I love) seem to do so for almost exactly the same reasons I disliked Severance. I respect ambitious, idiosyncratic shows that connect hard or not at all

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is. The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life. Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

RIP Frank Gehry - Artist

Ah man, one of the giants. Sad news, RIP

Welcome to Tottenham, Thomas…

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

This is full of mildly astonishing revelations about right-wing influence at the BBC, but foremost among them is the fact that he was advised that writing for the New Statesman was effectively unacceptable but doing so for the Spectator was fine - indeed, advisable. I am flabbergasted.

Sandymount❤️

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country. Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned. We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Racists: Why won't they release the ethnicity of the attacker? Also Racists: What's the ethnicity of the guard got to do with anything?

“When the sidewalks are safe for the little guys” - every now and then a Steely Dan lyric just hits…

Big Gabi, and the art of digging deep to pull your performance around. www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

How did it come to this? Piece from #NFFC, on a brilliant atmosphere pissed away in six weeks, Postecoglou & a drift into apathy. www.nytimes.com/athletic/672...

Only just caught up with the sad news of D’angelo’s passing - this was a mighty record:- youtu.be/-7hbqxnhzU8?...

Really enjoyed One Battle After Another, a terrific film.

Genuine question: do they make themselves believe this stuff or do they say it simply for the clicks and attention or to further a political agenda? Anyway, to Americans and others, it's complete and utter bollocks.

I’m watching Highest 2 Lowest. Am I missing something? What in heavens name am I watching? So many questions.

Important point that AOC points out here: There is a big difference between being articulate and educated…
