Music, books, other stuff. Idiots, the lot of you.
I see Kemi had not only insulted every right thinking person in the country, she has managed to offend everyone of her (diminishing numbers) of local councillors (important local activists) who are both unimportant and do nothing. The thickest person in public life in UK.
Oh god, this means I’m only weeks away from my Meldrew Point.

Meldrew Point@meldrewpoint.bsky.social · 10h agoHappy Meldrew Point Day, Kate Thornton! Today you are 19,537 days old and have reached your Meldrew Point - the age of Richard Wilson on the day One Foot In The Grave was first aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don’t believe it!
Everyone of these candidates should be fired from a cannon on the pier into the sea. Absolutely fucking criminal waste of time and money Pricks www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Obvs this is utter bollocks anyway, but Liddle wasn’t a satirist was he?
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 2d agoFraser Nelson reckons Rod Liddle was “the greatest satirist since Swift” while Michael Gove is comparing him to not just Swift but Orwell. Amazing the comparisons you can get if you’ll pump out exactly the racist opinions even they are too squeamish to commit to print.
Completely. A great interview and a funny man. I saw him at a seaside show when I was small and loved it so much.
ChinnyVision@chinnyvision.bsky.social · 2d agoBugger. Catch up with the interview @herring1967.bsky.social did with him. It was lovely. Need to hear from these people while they are still with us.
Any man’s death diminishes me, but some diminish me less than others, tbh.
Only just seen that Vicki Wickham died on Friday. Absolute powerhouse of a woman. Say her name!
Slightly underreported, I think is that the Conservatives don’t seem to have any activists, doorknockers or even basic campaign administration up here. I lived further North than Manc so not a voter, but there just doesn’t seem to be any organisation (inc media, socials) at all.
Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social · 5d agoTories beaten by Restore, which is basically one aging racist with a Facebook page. The Keminaissance in action.
I see the women-hating perverts at PETA are at it again.
PETA@peta.org · 7d agoWe put a human “lobster” on a plate outside Maine Lobster Festival to force people to see the victim behind the tradition🦞💔
That feeling when you have a very mildly successful lighthearted post and then the Americans wake up.

“If your grandmother doesn’t recognise it, don’t eat it.” My gran never saw a mango or an avocado, or any tropical fruit, and certainly never saw, say, coriander or cavalo nero. She did used to eat Findus crispy pancakes and Birds Eye potato waffles, and sugar sandwiches on sliced white bread.

I’m not a fan of the guitar as a solo instrument in any genre really, although some jazz passes muster for me. On that (Blue) note, Kenny Burrell is 95 today. Some truly great LPs of his own, and some truly great performances with others. I’m #nowplaying #jazzsky

I was about to make a point about it being so weird that a “boomer” would bother their arse with stuff like this and then I read he’s 42! A millennial! Racism and hate for your fellow people really does age you.
Jaf@jaffne.bsky.social · 5d agoRacist pervert uses pervert glasses to record his racist abuse, sexual harassment and general abuse and intimidation of others. I hope to see criminal charges coming from this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I’ve been paid. That’s something. And I hear Songdog had a good gig in Fairlight last night. One more in Hastings today, if anyone is interested. Early doors (5.30pm on stage.)
This is lovely and it is a great piece of writing.
Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · 6d agoI know people like to take the p*ss out of Adrian but this is a great piece of writing.
Feel sorry for the official that rocks up at my Ma’s. No brooches (she’s from the Elvis/Beatles generation, not a Victorian), one engagement ring worth a few hundred and a few practical anoraks to itemise.
Jessica Elgot@jessicaelgot.bsky.social · 6d agoJenrick tells the Reform UK press conference this morning an official will come to your dying mother's bedroom to tot up her jewellery, confiscate her brooches and itemise her coats under Andy Burnham's new tax. Is there not a danger of just sounding so alarmist that you sound unhinged?
Oh. The fact there’s no contenders for captain except a (great) man who doesn’t want it, didn’t like it, and wasn’t very good at it does not reflect well on how the team has been managed and run over recent years.

I don’t have a view on Naga leaving her little show because I’m not common enough to put the television on at breakfast time.

Was already furious to see two 25 year olds described as children who can’t be judged on behaviour and now I see Zach Polanski is a “young man who will learn”. He’s 43. Middle-aged. Are we starting adulthood at 50 now?
j) is presumably “the players that did play for our club, and have now gone elsewhere.
That’s better. Club football is back, where we all hate a) the directors b) the manager c) the existing players d) the players we have signed e) the players we haven’t signed f) the coaches g) online supporters of our club h) all other supporters of our club i) everyone else. Just as it should be.
