Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social The Chives! ❤️

Really? I think this might be the final nail in the coffin for me as Guardian reader

I prefer the B52’s ‘on record’ but last night at the O2, Devo (on before B52s) were so good and have plenty of gas left in their tanks so I hope they come back soon (Glastonbury would be amazing!)

Woooooooo! ❤️

After this 100% wrong AI summary, I pledged some money to Wikipedia. I think we should all do that. It might be the answer. Imagine if it vanished cos more people wanted to invest in the planet-burning lying plagiarism machine than in crowd-sourced open access information.

I guess tomorrow’s headline is ON TOP OF THE WORLD, LOOKING DOWN ON CROATIANS.

“Looking like a kid is my thing” How fucking gross - that quote made my skin crawl the most

#OTD 10th May 1976. Impossible to believe it was 50 years ago today that I celebrated my 8th birthday by going with three friends to see the Pistols at the 100 Club. Not many people were there, but everyone who was sang ‘Happy Birthday to You’, led by Johnny Rotten (below). 🎂

“In the cup for Tottingham” #totp

Calm down Mick Mills #totp

What the Eurovision fuck is this? #totp

None. I mean NONE of these ‘hair metal’ band were any good #totp

Even I fancy Kylie #totp

This is very good indeed

Latest from me: went to Brum to see John Niven's Britpop play & really really liked it www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/m...

How can you have a DPS feature/interview with Pete Tong and not even mention in passing the ultimate accolade: that his name is rhyming slang

Just watched Everything Everywhere All At Once. I am still staring at the credits thinking ‘why have I just wasted 2 hours of my life on that kaleidoscopic headache of a film?’

Saw the ever excellent Suede in Guildford last night. Is there any (non vocalist) band member of ANY band cooler than Neil Codling? If so then please show me

Jeez the Royal Mail are so shit. Just got a birthday card from my bestie posted on the 17th November (first class)

My teenage daughter’s #SpotifyWrapped top songs - however, some old codger has been using her account….😁

I think you’ll find the clue is here

Always cool, always lovely and had time for everyone. Not forgetting the most amazing bone structure! London has lost a sparkling flash of colour and a proper legend RIP Pam Hogg Pic: @kiprice.bsky.social

Fair play to The Graun for putting Mani on the front page 🖤

Not one single bad word about Mani. Anywhere 🙏

SELF-PROMOTION POST. I “had some thoughts” on banning secondary sites selling tickets for profit in the UK. (Spoiler: it’s about time, but there are other parts of the ticketing business that could do with a recalibration.) For @thequietus.com thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Happy birthday Roy Wood, most famously of Wizzard. How I loved his mad hair and makeup when I was little. And he lived up the road near Wimbledon Village which was very exciting for me too #roywood #wizzard #glamrock
