I am not a fan of that one nostalgia music account on here, because one of my core pillars is against the celebration of insignificant anniversaries. If it's not not 1st, 5th, multiples of 10 and 25, I don't need to know.
0.016% of the UK has been on The Chase
#EastEnders Cindy and Max in this pokey little flat… I just don't buy it. Did the producers not have any other sets going spare?
I must inform you that Rebecca Black’s “Friday” just went platinum, according to the RIAA. www.riaa.com/gold-platinu...
I think people (and, hey, I’m not immune to this) are still in the old way of thinking ‘anything actually popular will eventually reach me’ when it doesn’t work like that anymore, and hasn’t for a long time.

RE Rein Me In: The 'I've never heard this song' folk annoying me are ones who expand further with "I don't listen to music radio, I just listen to my playlists/podcasts; I don't watch TV; I don't watch videos online; I wear headphones in shops". Baby doll, WHERE exactly are you expecting to hear it?
I don't think anything in the supermarket is better value for money than frozen green beans.
Unusually late showing of Homes Under the Hammer on BBC One right now!
I don't hold a strong feeling about the concept - it's your life, and your choices - but I hate the phrase "airport theory".
Can someone with time please present me with a cross-linguistic analysis of languages/language varieties where pasta is a type of "noodle" (e.g. in US English) vs pasta being a separate thing (e.g. in British English)?

Influencers love to eat at restaurants that serve sushi AND tacos.
After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

Happy ninth anniversary to Stormzy bringing fish finger discourse to the party.
I finally cracked and asked the staff in MUJI what the hell is the deal with the music they play in the shop, which reminds me of a pirate ship at a theme park, and they were just as confused as me plus lightly traumatised. Apparently it's mostly Celtic and Galician folk music.
Ray Winstone, Danny Dyer and Ian Wright in the audience. I see what the BBC are doing. (some sort of middle-aged dads' shed club?)

Watched Shabaz Ali's new BBC Three documentary Are Billionaires Bad? last night on iPlayer and the autoplayed 'watch next' suggestion was Professor John Kenneth Galbraith's 1977 series on the history of economics, The Age of Uncertainty. A genuinely wonderful platform.
Really not sure what exactly this guy wants to live longer for given he seemingly spends his entire life just doing stuff to make him live longer. Have you tried maybe just living the life you've got
Mattha Busby@matthabusby.bsky.social · last wk.Bryan Johnson first beamed into my life in Miami in November 2023, when he gave a keynote address remotely at a psychedelics and longevity conference. Two years later, he accused me of being a non-player character. And now he’s ‘cloned’ himself. For @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...
