A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Resist the urge to watch some prurient true crime documentary and watch this one about hummingbirds and the point and purpose of everything instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYgV...

Finally the inherent violence and chaos of my name 'Gerard' has been recognised by the Met Office. wait up. 'Wubbo'?

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

Berlin police, again and again. This happens all the time to people protesting the Gaza genocide and Germany's complicity in it

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

There aren't many celebrity interviews where anything genuine happens, but this is an exception. Ben Mankiewicz interviewed Kathy Bates. Wait until she gets to the part about not thanking her mother when accepting her Oscar and what he reveals to her. youtu.be/YlEjyItb-Y0?...

Another sunny day then is it?

I’m tired of people expecting me to do something just because I know how to do it and they’re paying me

Top notch Florida Orange Harvesting Tractor, that is cunningly disguised as an Orange. So as not to scare them off i guess

Don’t remember where I saw this library flyer a while back but it’s great

Send them your support, it’s better than an opinion on here war.ukraine.ua/donate/

Another willfully ignorant conflation of ‘being privileged’ (class) and ‘having privilege’ (from critical race theory). I wrote a big old thing about that here, with a particular emphasis on transphobia open.substack.com/pub/kateneil...

Nostalgic for the sound of pre Kiss 80s Pirate Radio? Super specific shouts to Victor Romero Evans, St. Lucia and some guy who can't eat wheat flour cos it upsets his tummy? Over tunes from Midnight Star and Stanley Clarke? Then set your dial for DJ Ratty www.mixcloud.com/djrattysound...

Hunt Stromberg is the correct name for a Movie Producer and this is from the excellent 'After the Thin Man' and thats an excellent Movie

www.youtube.com/watch?v=haXR... Max Wall's 1979 ode to Opium. Three years later he appeared in the best ever episode of 'Minder'. Has any other artist had such a perfect creative run in their 8th decade?

Somehow this is perfect and surely what he would have wanted: - "his younger sister, Bronwyn, who now lives in Cardiff" from the Guardian review of the Leigh Bowery exhibition

Can we please bring back chaotic Eurotrash interviewers and chippy sarcastic musicians. We need it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igei...

Bill Hader has impeccable taste and is kind and generous towards other artists. And he likes the same stuff as me, so i guess im saying we should be friends.

Such courage and integrity

constant-practice.com/products/198... Very tempted by this. 2025 feels like the year to take Mick Jagger's 'Dancing in the streets' energy into. And i used to wear the original Hamnett in the 80s. But this vintage shirt is about 5 times the price it would originally have been......decisions....

📚 “The Class Ceiling" isn't just another inequality study - it's a masterclass in why privilege persists. The numbers are eye-opening: 16% pay gap between privileged vs. working-class backgrounds in elite jobs. @samfriedman.bsky.social @daniellaurison.bsky.social

Remember that footage of gamekeepers killing a Hen Harrier on a grouse moor? Seen pictures of moors being set alight in recent weeks? It’s time to ban driven grouse shooting. Please sign @wildjustice.bsky.social’s petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

A beautiful, sincere and very Spanish way to spend one's time. Snippy headline aside, living well and in the prescence of greatness with no immediate transaction presumed is a dream.

Look at this fucking excellent cat, Polar Bearing it up in the snow.

Encouraging piece by @josiah.writes.news - though, as he notes, there's much more to do. bylinetimes.com/2024/11/19/a...

Well, this seems nice and blessed be the peacemakers on here, for they have stopped punching me in the face.
