“To the marketing manager at RCA: Let’s call it ‘the Sgt. Pepper of the 70s’, and put an attractive young couple in a pre-coital embrace on the advert. Then people will be blinded to just how exquisitely distressing the album is.” Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

They don't make adverts like they used to.

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity. This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power. Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.

The food is lousy and the apartment is deranged.

Hang on, I thought it was everyone eating lunch out which meant we were too poor to buy a house and we should just bring sandwiches... 🙄

Autopsies of rescue workers killed in Gaza show ‘gunshots to head and torso’

Absolute Travesty.

RIP Dave Allen. Thanks for the music.

Like clockwork , as soon as you criticise the fossil fuel companies and executives – out come the lobbyists and shady thinktanks based at and near the infamous SW1 55 Tufton Street .

This, from actor-writer Katy Wix, filling the restaurant column spot back at my old manor, is a lovely bit of writing. www.theguardian.com/food/2025/ap...

"We went up to Leeds once on the train to do a show at Leeds University and the whole thing was just 'Ahhhh' compared to doing it by road. You could just sit back, snooze, work on a new song, chat up a girl in the old restaurant car." - Francis Rossi of Status Quo 📷 Trevor Ermel

The government has played a direct role in the genocide in Gaza through its arms sales to Israel. Today, my bill to end arms sales to Israel & any country at risk of violating international law, was blocked from being heard. But I won’t back down. I’ll keep bringing it back.

instead of the four humours we should judge people by which addiction/s they’re most vulnerable to: booze, uppers, downers, weed

Israel's siege on Gaza, the blocking of essential aid and the cutting off of electricity are textbook acts of genocide, designed to systematically starve 2 million people. It's shameful the Labour government continues to refuse to recognise this for what it truly is: genocide.

R.I.P. Brian James. The founding guitarist of the Damned has died at 70.

Reading pope power rankings. Absolutely losing it that the word for eligible popes is "popeable."

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.
