Great match & a fantastic performance by England Bellingham was immense

Would have been better taking Kane off? Put Gordon up front, keep Anderson's energy on the pitch

of course this is being framed as some kind of experience of injustice rather than simply "my political views, deemed abhorrent by many, rendered me unelectable"

all Allister Heath’s opinions & headlines make sense if you imagine he’s shouting them while being wrestled into a straitjacket

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 27 MIA - Paper Planes 2008 A take on another side of the migrant experience and the first world prejudice against them. "Bona fide hustler making my name" One of the great sample heists youtu.be/ewRjZoRtu0Y?...

Trent Bridge Test - Day 2 This photo in no way conveys how hot it was today... @ian72.bsky.social is that you in the picture? The train back to Derby was even hotter..sauna on wheels

The RSF were parked outside El Fasher for months getting ready to push into the city, and nobody was in any doubt at that time about what would happen when they finally attacked.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 26 HM1 Roots Manuva - Witness Best video of the 00's. youtu.be/ltP7L16A8Hs?...

I especially love this diagram.

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 25 Jason Mraz - I'm Yours 2008 Unashamedly sentimental selection to close the first half It was the closing song of a youth theatre production my daughter was in, and moment of joy as all the kids sang their hearts out.. still brings a tear to my eye.. youtu.be/EkHTsc9PU2A?...

Just TWO DAYS TO GO till the biggest #ManchesterPopfest yet! £50 for THREE whole days of your best indie and jangle pop and post punk. This weekend in Manchester. Tickets here👇↴⬇️ see.tickets/mcrpopfest

A primer on how not to do a no-bid contract. Read, and enjoy. A wonderful metaphor for just how incompetent the current Administration is.

It's too hot, so in completely unrelated news, all my albums are now pay what you want for the next few days: worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 24 Annie - Chewing Gum 2004 Another perky pop pick from the BitTorrent years "BitTorrent accounted for a third of all internet traffic in 2004, according to a study by Cachelogic" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorr... youtu.be/uutT2pMEPqk?...

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 23 King Honey - Plectrum 2004 Partly on my list because of the artwork. I have no idea who they are. The music reminds me of the wonky electronica you sometimes get on reggae dancehall b sides.. makemine.bandcamp.com/album/plectrum

I've given in to the heat now... Imperial Valley - American Memory #NowPlaying foldedtime.bandcamp.com/album/americ...

#NowPlaying I can't think of a more cooling piece to put on than this lovely piano improviaation by Natalia Beylis... nataliabeylis.bandcamp.com/album/tinch-2

so a friend on a mailing list I've been on forever said he couldn't understand why so many people had wanted Starmer to stand down when he was obviously so much better than those who came before. I did my best to explain

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 22 S Club 7 - Reach Slightly influenced by being my daughter's favourite song when she was 4... www.youtube.com/watch?v=50kP...

2000 Great Songs #1368: Mosquitoes. Seems crazy to include such a new song here, but this gorgeous ballad, a change-up from @thebeths.bsky.social' usually perky noise pop, is an emotional gut-punch I've been playing nonstop this past year.

The tale of the ruler whose reflection turned to slime is beyond what even the Brothers Grimm conceived. This is Angela Carter or Italo Calvino territory, and it is wonderful.

Morning everyone Who said the devil has all the best tunes?.. #WeekendSingles

#TheN0ughtie5 Day 21 Rihanna - Umbrella 2008 youtu.be/CvBfHwUxHIk?...

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

Pleased to meet you #WeekendSingles Just one new arrival this week, (in the centre) prompting this post...

One leg One Eye brewing up a righteous maelstrom of noise in Birmingham last night. Well worth seeing on their UK tour. Great to catch up with @anthonygregory.bsky.social and @tadharsh.bsky.social. Cabs (and Hendo's) next?

“I curse your preoccupation With your record collection” #FallFriday youtu.be/JJyEyZ4bK60?...

It's unconditional surrender, but who for, Chris Kamara?
