turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

Good riddance to Keir Starmer. He was elected leader on a progressive platform that he dumped immediately to adopt a conservative, authoritarian leadership and premiership. A man who stands for nothing except power for no purpose. I'm not convinced Andy Burnham will be better, mind.

Goodbye to the worst labour PM of all time. A devious and morally bankrupt ignoramus.

Caught up with another excellent @pantosplaining.bsky.social and as is traditional #watchitonthebigtelly Also believe I had Pantosplaining's youngest ever viewer for this one, as my 6 day old daughter was along for the ride. Her reaction to The Black Abbots clip suggests she's not a fan.

Every time I see that Keir Starmer guy he’s like “it’s high time we in Britain all stood up to trees” and then he runs out and starts cutting down a tree but his glasses keep falling off and he’s like oh heavens

Before social media it was the internet. Before the internet it was video games. Before video games it was movies. Before movies it was music. Before music it was comic books. From Fredric Wertham to Keir Starmer the song remains the same.

Its giving divorced dad in desperate denial that it would have worked out if only he had been Tougher on the kids

Me in the group chat

Ok, let me get straight. At 16 you can get married and join the army but you can’t check instagram before you go to bed. Riiiggght

The gold standard by which I judge all other rappers.

My Bluesky group chat

me: hey can I expense $10 to make a spreadsheet employer: Absolutely not me: hey can I spend $10 worth of company tokens to have ChatGPT make a shitty spreadsheet I will have to put even more work into to fix manually employer: yes 💖

While we’re on football…

Obligatory

Sorry but hate presenting this as “ooh this is the scary future under reform” like this isn’t the Scary Present under Labour. This is not Reform’s Britain, this is Labour’s Britain. Its here its now and laying responsibility explicitly outside of the Actual Current Gov is a major mistake

“In the beginning, Doctor Who was created. This has made a lot of Doctor Who fans very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move”

IN OTHER NEWS, doing press for 2 new records. Any new people I’m not aware of that may be into our noise? Get at me

Top of the Pops (9th June 1988). The Timelords open the show with Doctorin’ The Tardis.

final point of this hits the nail really

Dreamed I got a chastising message at work that said, “You should know the names of all the Muppets,” and someone stuck up for me, saying, “I don’t think this one has a name,” and they attached a picture of like a white Gonzo with no eyes

Most: David Caruso Least: Adam Woodyatt

Top of the Pops (6th June 1974). Sparks open the show with This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us.

Make a Doctor Who title less scary

Fire, and lots of it!

A picture that captures your essence

Politicians falling each over last year to support that 'tatty flags on flagpoles and roundabouts' campaign by a racist who's since been arrested on a murder charge, now falling over each other to support an actual looming race riot, this fucking archipelago

I really hope in my lifetime we can go back to making racism something to be ashamed of again, rather than something that’ll get you a regular slot on rolling news.

I didn't even need to edit the dialogue

We really need to fully bed in the idea that the default position of someone wearing the Meta camera glasses is that they are a pervert

MERLE HAGGARD: (voice over) Hoo-ee! Looks like them Duke boys done growed 'emselves some wings. [steel guitar riffs]

Yes. Yes he is.
