If you think protesting will be ineffective, can you imagine how ineffective NOT protesting would be?

I had half an hour to kill yesterday afternoon in Leeds, so popped into the city art gallery.

Saw this lager at the pub the other night and was briefly horrified at what I thought was a new novelty beer flavour

I do think that people are more comfortable believing that Trump is senile, rather than accepting the alternative that he is actually just a monster.

This is a special commemorative truncheon issued to police officers for their role in assaulting trade union members in the 1926 general strike (100 years ago this year). It's at an exhibition on strikes at the People's History Museum in Manchester. (@commonerschoir.bsky.social sang at the opening.)

Said pie.

Well, at lest wasn't Pizza Express in Woking.

Just got in from a @commonerschoir.bsky.social gig at the opening of this exhibition phm.org.uk/exhibitions/... very cool little exhibition detailing, well, just click the link.

"They weren't burning witches, It was women on those fires" is such a great lyric open.spotify.com/track/0T1s5K...

Morning Bluesky.

Just reading about the removal of the olive branch from the American dime to celebrate 250 yrs since the declaration of independence, and honestly the most surprising thing about it is the word semiquincentennial.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Tonight? No. Nothing much. Quiet one really. (Shelf Lives at Oporto in Leeds)

Kemi Badenoch's spokesman denies she is ashamed of British animals, after the Conservative party call the Bank of England's decision to put British wildlife on our banknotes "deeply depressing"

The high point of my day has been Lauren Laverne liking one of my posts (tbf, it mentions her directly, but still, it feels like a benediction)

You say crusade, I say jihad, I say migrant, you say ex-pat. Crusade, jihad, Migrant, ex-pat, Let's call the whole thing off.

I do not regret the two cocktails before bed, but I do regret waiting until 1am to drink them.

youtu.be/CWrMGXwhFLk?... also, great to hear @laurenlaverne.bsky.social playing this slice of absolute gold this week

youtu.be/Mojvh0burw8?... just my periodical occasional repost of the one of the most exhilarating live performances ever. So few fucks are given that the guitarist throws his axe away long before the end of the song, and finishes with a tambourine solo.

The bourbon-soaked griotte cherry at the end of a Manhattan. That's it.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

A fun few hours at the lovely Indie Beer Feast last night, loved chatting with Jules about the scene now vs back when it all started. It was great to hear how the European Beer Bloggers Conference 2012 in Leeds was such a lodestone event for many

Just watched the Beastie Boys Movie again, so I'm an emotional wreck for the next few days.

I mean, surely you'd need some sort of wheeled device to steal something that heavy. What a mystery!

After listening to a couple of audio clips of him slurring his way through a justification of what they're up, I stumbled across the video of his address. The baseball cap really lends him some gravitas, doesn't it?

GOOD MORNING! Here's the latest edition of news, nuggets and longreads, with good writing about beer and pubs from the past week. This time: drinking up north, the anti-sports bar, and the benefits of being weird. 🍻🍺 boakandbailey.com/2026/02/news...

I wonder how long that's been in drafts folder?

I like publishing stories on my blog where anyone can read them for free. It almost amounts to a whole bonus collection, and will give you an idea of the kind of thing I write. precastreinforced.co.uk/category/fic...

This guy gets it.

When I was told by a friend that "that bloke from Vision On is going to be the new Doctor Who" I automatically assumed it was Wilf Lunn. Imagine my surprise, etc...

I was Wilf's postman. Once delivered him a cannonball. I suppose I may have delivered him the grenade too without realising

Will Lunn update.

Just had a pint of Old P in Whitelocks and oh my.

Only just learnt that Jack Karlson died a couple of years ago. Coincidentally going out for a (hopefully succulent) Chinese* meal this evening youtube.com/watch?v=Peih...

What happens next is going to be *really* interesting.

Very impressed by the tin-snipped rose the boy made for his belle. Less so by the messy work bench.

Happy Radio Day to all those who celebrate.
