Unconscionable that Lebanon is barely even a footnote in British journalism about US and Israeli aggression in the Middle East.

It's not far off 30 years since Moby achieved mainstream recognition with Play. A further 30 years before that since the Kinks released Lola. Time now, then, to listen up on what the dimunitive vegan DJ thinks of the foppish 60s songsmiths' hit!

Americans surely rivalled only by Brits in believing lies they've told themselves about their country

Again: it's not really unprecedented, it's just the first time you've noticed it.

This is of course the same City Property who refused a proposal from the former workers of the 13th Note to bring it back into use as a cultural space, preferring instead that it continue to lie empty and rot further.

SNP excelling here at the single last thing they remain good at: absolute craic at Labour's expense

Thanks Peter God. Harold be thy name.

Scrape a little bit of miso paste on your toast. Chuck some spring onions and chilli flakes in with your scrambled eggs. Squeeze a little drop of lime juice over all of that and thank me later x

me now, having time-travelled to 2006: the guy from the Apprentice is the president of America. he has renamed defence "the Department of War" and posts updates on his mass bombing campaigns in all caps on like his own personal Bebo 2006 me: I promise I will stop taking drugs if you leave me alone

It is without question entirely correct to treat this as an antisemitic attack, and any argument to the contrary - such as can be found in the replies - is obviously itself wildly antisemitic

‘There’s no ceasefire’: Gaza paramedic and father of two killed as civilian death toll since October passes 650

George Galloway to campaign for a Yes vote, I'm told, if anyone is eager to know the orientation of a man who last held public office in Scotland 21 years ago on an imagined referendum that doesn't exist

'Saxon Musk' is what I call the smell in your uncle's podcasting basement

His son is 20 years old btw

We have to experience the dark deprivations of Scottish winter to fully enjoy the sunny spring day. That’s the dialectic.

Glasgow when winter lifts, man, there’s nothing else fucking like it in the whole wide world.

I honestly think the quote from the article here is one of the most contemptible sentences I've ever read. "Get the credit" I mean really. "I'm doing war crimes but only a little bit and with my fingers crossed behind my back like me like me" look at yourselves you pathetic little shits

You fucking coward. You snivelling complicit piece of shit. Fuck you. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

I’m personally told young irish people in a London pub to shut up when they’ve sung this But criminalising it is very, very silly

Eid Mubarak yo x

My article for @thestage.co.uk sounding the alarm about the collapse in new play production in the UK.

I believe this is the first time there's not been an Eid prayer at al-Aqsa since 1967

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

when your ears are pushed back cos you're mad at the fence riding up your arse, but refuse to stop sitting on the fence for Reasons

Frankie Boyle had a bit on imposter syndrome where he suggested that while working class people might often very wrongly feel like they don't deserve to be somewhere, posh people often use the same phrase to simply explain away the normal human response to having been promoted beyond your abilities

Been catching up on 'Golden Age' American TV drama that I'd never bothered watching at the time, and though I'm still 2 episodes from the end, I'm comfortable saying the Sopranos biggest achievement is in establishing a mode of TV storytelling that was substantially improved upon by Mad Men.

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

nobody needs Eternal Val Kilmer

quite simply one of the worst music takes I've ever seen

Anas Sarwar makes crass remark about photo which made him "look like a stroke victim". Wonder if he's aware that a high percentage of the photos taken of him make him look like he should be sitting in the corner wearing one of those wee hats with the propeller on top.

Having forgotten entirely about this whole thing, I looked at this picture and my brain immediately spat out the phrase "Legs are coming soon! Are you excited?"

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

I'm afraid a lot of Democrat-inclined people in the States are simply going to have to get used to the rest of the world using "America" and "Americans" to name the perpetrator of their country's actions on the global stage, sorry

It's good to see a Labour PM say this true thing about the Tories, but it would admittedly be several orders of magnitude better if the same wasn't also true of his own party

[Rubber Bandits voice] Zohran Mamdani he's in the Ra

New York: We have a massive Irish diaspora, let's have a St Patrick's Day Parade! Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia: Great idea! Right in the centre of town! Sydney, Auckland, Montserrat: Fun! Us too! London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham: Nice one! Glasgow, you in? Glasgow: ... All: Glasgow?

I think it's actually fine for the Mayor of New York not to have any position at all on the question of a united Ireland. (though If he'd responded by singing Go On Home British Soldiers it would ofc be only correct to reply with "slaaay", "my mayor", and "this man has the rizz")

They better hope they can find a way to make the hypnoboob stuff work for them like, because it doesn't seem to be so far and they haven't found anything else yet

For those of us around 40, the marches against the war on Iraq were our fist taste of a protest movement we independently joined aged around 13 or 14. 'Thatcher' was a bogey word in the primary school playground, but really we came of age politically in anger against 'Bush & Blair'

Breaking News: A New Jersey woman who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University in 2024 has been released from a federal detention center in Texas, where she had been held for more than a year. She has not been charged with a crime. nyti.ms/4sJs8In

My next play is going to be about a nice man who is nice. It will be called The Nice Man Who Is Nice and all these dipshits better shell out for a fucking ticket or I'll break their necks

This sort of loser chat might be funny if it didn't plausibly point to a kind of tantrum-inspired nuclear detonation

Father of six, grabbed in front of his crying children as he was about to take them to school.

we need to establish a middle way between the slim fit suit / skinny jeans excess of the last 20 years and whatever direction we're currently heading in the field of Men's Trousers

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

This kind of shit is one of the most annoying things about awards chat. The most nominated film in history, by virtue of not also becoming the most awarded film in history, somehow ends up with 'Biggest Loser' hanging round it's neck. Beyond stupid.
