As of today, the release of Sour Times by Portishead is further away from today than the release of Love Me Do by the Beatles was when Sour Times was released. youtu.be/un8EW82GwKc?...

Thanks printer, that cheered me up

Not got the publicity of some of the other changes but delighted to see the great Kirsten O'Brien is joining Radio 2 full time, she is great www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are all "random dude screaming"...

I'm planning to use the JD Vance technique when buying a new car today - call the sales executive a wanker, offer £50 and tell them if they don't accept I'll torch their showroom. Wish me luck.

Fancy flying all the way around the Moon only to get caught by Rover when you land.

This is so well done. 👌

We are now further away in time from Charlie's Angels than Charlie's Angels was from Charlie's Angels when they made Charlie's Angels.

Just popped by to say that, yes, @cerysmatthews.bsky.social, even after 29 years you are STILL my Easter Bunny.

This is what Louis CK said in his comedy special “Sorry” after he was outed as a predatory creep who m@sturbated in front of young female comics in locked hotel rooms.

Thing I love about "Made of Stone" is the steady increase in tempo courtesy of Reni's drumming, gathering momentum leading to it's fantastic climax. I've realised I made it sound like a good wank, which is not what anybody was aiming for.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

Dreamt last night that I had a party and @mhairim.bsky.social turned up. It was the first time we'd met and we had a big hug and I went 'round introducing her as "my future ex-wife". Then I went to the kitchen and made everyone toast. When I came back, everyone was watching 1970s porn off VHS tapes.

If you ask me, Reality tv has got way out of hand

I apologise for such a long Facebook post, I didn’t have time to prompt AI to write a shorter one - Mark Twain

💚 Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and wishing her great strength for her forthcoming battle against the significant right-wing media and political machinery that will now be employed to destroy her both personally and electorally.

The full clip, including McKellen's setup of the scene, is here, along with info about the riots (Evil May Day) and the text of the speech itself. kottke.org/26/02/the-st...

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

I see that storm’s going to be blowing all over the country tomorrow

Can't hold a World Cup in a country where the dictator's secret police are executing peaceful protesters in the streets.

I was today years old, listening to @shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social when I realised that the famous Loaded remix by Andrew Weatherall samples The Emotions!

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways

So it sinks, is what you're saying. It still sinks.

Well, it's happened: all the Spice Girls are 50 or over. I told you this would come.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Little Noelly returns to the final game in Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow, which this week is Muck Or No Muck.

Resharing this thread about Section 28, a cruel piece of homophobic legislation introduced in the UK in 1988. I hope it shows that even when the prospects are grim and hope is faltering, we can take comfort that those moments will pass. It’s likely the seeds of salvation have already been planted.

"Local leaders also disagree." People with eyes also disagree. BBC News, on the other hand, can't make up its mind.

Does anyone remember the issue of Doctor Who Weekly where this photo was used for a caption competition? The winning entry was "I can drink you under the table". I never understood that.

The platform formerly known as Twitter has been turned into an unregulated child-porn generating machine by Elon Musk. www.politico.eu/article/ofco...

So much truth. And controversial view: for me one of the key differences between radio programmes and podcasts is that radio programmes rarely make me shout GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER IN THE PUB I WASN’T THERE

Claire Foy giving Millais' Ophelia in the latest Harper's Bazaar.

I hate to be a broken record but if you're still using X, stop. If it becoming a Nazi hivemind wasn't bad enough, now the AI Musk developed at the expense of the health of the community he built his data center in is allowing people to AI generate naked images of children.

AI ruins fucking everything. Again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Paul Bettany getting The Smiths played on Radio 2 on Boxing Day. Always knew he was a good guy, since Gangster No 1.

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.
