Always think #GBBO (and just about any competition show) is better when nobody gets eliminated in the first week. I'd rather people get two weeks to show who they are. Plus, it means another week of Dani and her strangely joyous hyperactivity and oddness.

With the major qualifier that the Dolphins might be very, very bad, Brock Purdy is absolutely dealing today. The throw to Evans was unbelievable stuff.

Coyote Vs ACME is absolutely wonderful. Consistently laugh out loud funny (one pop-up cameo gag broke me completely), it pays off every setup, and it's nicely subversive and heartfelt alongside the slapstick. It deserves a way bigger cinema run than seems on, but it's great it made it there at all.

Fuck, not Dolly 😥 A true genius and one of the best of us. It'll be a long, long while before anyone else can say they wrote two truly legendary songs in a day and donated over 300 million free books to kids.

Highly enjoyed Masters of the Universe. Total nonsense, but fully aware of it and leans in just the right amount. Alison Brie was great and needed more to do, though some scenery needed to be left for Leto to chew (and he's... decent? Sassy camp skeleton his sweet spot.) All this AND Camila Mendes ❤️

What's a Futurama line that lives forever in your head? Mine is, "Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandpa."

Literally a victory for football. Because Argentina didn't try and play any. VAMOS!

Piss poor stuff from Gabriel Clarke there. Trying to stir shit up with Bellingham after Tuchel put him back in his box for asking a stupid question. You're not the story, mate, get over yourself.

Oh, so that's why the heatwave. Hell was getting the doors open to drag Widdecombe in.

That's an amphora-ing of the highest order from Egypt.

Every international football tournament (involving European teams, anyway) reaches the point where you're idly wondering who the most objectionable team in it are, and then Portugal make their debut.

Somehow, every form of transport back from Chalk Farm is fucked in one way or another. Would I do it all over again for Rilo Kiley? One million percent. A genuine bucket list band for me, and so worth it. Just about held the tears until Better Son/Daughter finally, fully cracked me.

I'm choosing to interpret the lightning repeatedly cracking overhead for the past hour as a sign of how sky-splittingly good Rilo Kiley will be tonight.

Really sad news about Queer Brewing closing. Even if it's better for them to go out on their terms than somebody else's, it's a really depressing reflection of the place beer is in that it's come to this point.

What’s your favourite song that nobody will have heard of?

I've not been for a while, so it was interesting seeing the updated audience rules at @princecharlescinema.com. Not overdue, sadly, there'd been an ever-increasing trend of people performatively watching and damaging the experience for others in the process. Well done as ever, PCC.

Andy Burnham has his principles. And if you don't like them... boy, does he have others.

Relaxing sanctions on Russian oil might be the worst policy any non-Truss government has ever come up with. Morally repellent and indefensible, economically incoherent with no impact, politically hopeless on two fronts (abandons an ally AND removes being able to pin Farage to Russia). Mindboggling.

That Aaron Rai putt will be rightfully making highlight reels for decades.

I know everyone else has done a similar shot, but they've done it for a reason... Delightful couple in the Wild Swan, and having @thornbridge.bsky.social in London is more than worth toasting.

Doesn't matter how often I hear it, Courtney Barnett on a Magnum advert doesn't get any less disorienting. Great, but disorienting.

8 hours, and THAT'S your fucking statement, #ITFC? Pathetic. Do better. Now.

Holy fucking hell, have #ITFC disgraced themselves. I may not be a season ticket holder any more, and I'm not usually drawn to writing complaint letters, but they will absolutely be hearing my comments on this.

You can feel cognitive dissonance radiating from Kemi Badenoch's statement, stoking ethnic and racial divisions while simultaneously claiming others are stoking ethnic and racial divisions. It doesn't help her sound sane, although being cuckoo bananas batshit is probably a bigger factor there.

I don't know what I'm looking for or at, but bloody hell, that Japanese free skate routine was amazing.

Gold! Huw Nightingale ran so much better in the semi and final, and Charlotte Bankes has dominated that middle section of the track every single time. Amazing stuff.

Team snowboard cross is a great event. Already love the random gate drop for starts, and then it adding the delay for the second racer makes for a brilliant set of chases.

A couple of days ago I couldn't have cared less about the ice dance, but I felt so bad for Lilah Fear as they came off the ice, she looked so gutted while trying to put a smile for the cameras.

First random event to grab my attention from the Winter Olympics - big air snowboarding. Great fun, and even knowing nothing about it, you could tell Kira Kimura nailed the last jump that won him the gold.

Didn't realize I was still following Neil Gaiman on here, due to the year and a half of silence while he apparently hired an anonymous writer on scum site Substack to defend him. Consider that fault rectified. Fuck Neil Gaiman.
