I just love this band's lyrics.

The video now has over 14,000 views which is pretty astounding too!

It's only 50p.

If you think online harrassment is lame, buy it.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Now I'm a dummy but it really feels to me like there has to be an entire relatively broad-based winning politics based around being in opposition to *just this one sliver* of what the Trump administration is doing right here www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

A brilliant example of what Lewis Goodall talks about when he argues why right-wing radicals keep winning. They don't play by the rules and simply don't care. Whereas the institutions they want to destroy do even when said rules are contorted to absurdity and are blatantly being used against them.
The founder of Newsmax was just on the Today programme pontificating about bias. Boy, the BBC loves to submit itself to flagellation.

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember

the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it

the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury

the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

*Slaps you with a slipper*

Why can't you be a good boy like that Mamdani kid??
The worst thing about Zohran Mamdani is the fact that my Desi parents are now going to ask me why I’m not the mayor of anything despite being the same age. 🤦‍♂️

Dude is blowing up boats in foreign waters without due process, taking away food from 42 million Americans this weekend, randomly arresting American citizens, and tore down 1/3 of the White House without any push back or oversight.

But tell me again how he's "just trolling" about a third term.

There's a certain irony about being accused of artificial streaming manipulation whilst simultaneously my actual listener numbers are plummeting.

HIVE MIND -
I’m touring my one man version of A Christmas Carol this December; got a bunch of dates in BUT I’ve got an annoying gap: 14th - 17th.
Been waiting to hear from some venues but can’t wait any longer.
I donate 50% of my cut to local charities
Any small (<100 seat)f venues interested?
