Cannae believe The Muppets have lowered themselves to this.

Thomas House of Dublin exhibiting the pro-human solidarity that all of us should demonstrate.

I wonder if Powerade are regretting splashing their branding all over the bits of the matches everyone absolutely hates and now boos as standard.

Absolutely craven and pathetic. A disgrace.

Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me there has been "no change" to the Government's policy on using X, despite Elon Musk helping to incite the hateful scenes we saw in Belfast last night. Also no new plans to take action against X for its role in the violence

Glasgow has long had its own distinct "far right" anti-immigrant base that cannot be understood without understanding unionist loyalism. This truth is often dismissed - that's different, it's just about football here etc - but I reckon it's going to become increasingly impossible to deny.

Thank you to everyone in Leeds and Manchester who gave me such a warm welcome in already sweltering conditions. It was good to sing songs old and new for you and talk a power of mince. Thank you to @carlajeaston.bsky.social, my sister in battering on, for having me. I’m awa’ on my hoalidays now.

If I can’t turn this off I hope that it’s ready for every bit of input to be “fuck off you glorified talking paper clip cunt”

Watching a thing with Alicia Silverstone and her Da has died going over the cliffs at Ballybunion and I did the Di Caprio meme, startling my wife, because I, dear reader, almost died going over those same cliffs in 2004, being saved only by a hammock of barbed wire.

Small venues are where it’s at, as we’re proving with the latest edition of our Wee Gig Lowdown. This time we’re highlighting gigs from The Yummy Fur, Simone Seales, Orla Noble, Broken Chanter and Dovetailed, and waving goodbye to The Flying Duck.
