Khan and City Hall need to seize jurisdiction of the West End, and leave Westminster Council with just the residential bits. This is embarrassing. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

El-Sayed. Mamdani. Where's the UK's socialist smokeshows? Why do ours look like Mr Bean? We're lagging.

Stomping around the flat bom bomming to Verdi's triumphal march from Aidi, which I haven't heard in decades. I haven't triumphed over anything today, but let's not be a vibe kill.

Wiggle.

Is "Jared Kushner" a human being or a shell company?

These little ones have all grown up and left us now. I am bereft. Literal empty nest syndrome. I hope they have wonderful lives.

Although at the moment my Bluesky feed is all 40-year-old gay men talking about their neurodivergence, so maybe I'm the idiot.

Bluesky has always resented its users. And now here we are.

@jcmuscuk.bsky.social I'm just on the plate-loaded hip thrust 💨

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Nobody in the group chat was impressed that I walked past Tom Scott twice today.

My mum went to school with Rod Liddle. FAMILY GROUP CHAT Me: Mum, your mate Rod is dead. Mum: Stewart? Me: Liddle. Mum: Oh, he was a cunt.

Canary Wharf is so hot. The sun feels like lasers. Bouncing off all the glass buildings like the inside of a microwave oven. It's slightly terrifying. We're all going to die.

My phone's in for repair so I'm walking around without one. ::Madonna voice:: I feel so free!

This will be my first 5-day working week in a while. 😃🔫

I'm going to be insufferable once I have my own living room to paint.

I'm about to hazard the gym on a Sunday afternoon. Will I get on any of the equipment? Must I do battle with the cauliflower teenagers?

Let's face it, nobody is going to top Whitney Houston at the 1991 Super Bowl. America, why did you choose such a difficult national anthem? Every year, one of these videos shows up. I only ever hear it being sung badly.

Have Bryan May, Roger Taylor and Stefani Germanotta ever done a rendition of Radio Gaga? And if not, why not? And when?

Landed on the Br section of my music library and it goes Brian Eno, Bright Eyes, Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen. I did a small lol as that's a pretty fair cross section of my taste in music.

I took this.

I don't think the fade or the neck line on my beard is too bad, considering I did it myself. Ft. NHS gender-neutral toilet.

A year. Just seen the surgeon, who told me the operation was not a success. I mean, I knew that. I still have wandering testicles. Either he reattempts the surgery or I take medication to "manage the pain" (I'm not in pain, it's just that my balls disappear uncomfortably inside me when I'm hard).

I'm slightly sedated and have brand new testicles. I'm one of the lucky few to get gender-affirming on the NHS in 2025, and for this I feel blessed.

Middlesbrough was in the County of Cleveland when I was born there, but was ceded back to North Yorkshire in 1997, so I'm claiming citizenship. Ee by gum.

My brother sent some photos of me looking faggy in the 80s. Raiding our dad's archives.

I hate this little girl with my entire life.

Kinda weird that @xxxdiggory.bsky.social and I have the exact same fucked-up magenta pixel display line phone screen issue problem.

Found a windmill.

Guys I can see rain over Kent and also the distant rumble of thunder. Is this it? Are we at the end?

I think I'd accept fair criticism of England and the UK from anyone in the world - anyone - unless they're an American. I'm never more British than when an American has the gall. Can you imagine?!
