Dispirited with the politics of Twitter

Oldham Athletic , alternative music , craft beer
Don’t know that much but weren’t Liverpool doing a bit poorly towards the end of last season , fluked some at the start of this and then gone on a mad losing run

That’s quite a period of poor form

Beautiful Bob Dylan song on @cerysmatthews.bsky.social

Moonshiners

They should play it for people in alcohol recovery

I wish we lived in a world where we just pay for something and it’s yours forever; either you have to subscribe to something or have it for “free” and be bombarded with adverts

Is just like to pay a one off payment and have it

I’m looking at you Two Words with Suzie Dent

Trump going on about London being a terrible, unsafe place to live.
London’s homicide rate is c1.5 per 100,000, a tiny fraction of most American cities (e.g. St Louis 88, Atlanta 32). Maybe he should stop listening to Herr Farage and get his own house in order.

Quite tearful to see the wonderful Jason Manford return to the One Show (as a guest) after his ignominious departure (as host) many years ago

They’ve never recaptured the magic that him and Christine had in when it first started

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I liked Zombies 4 : prescient message regarding dwindling resources&the illogicality of partisan communities

Tough work for the writers to get the character arcs woven into the narrative structure/ themes - which waspartly achieved

feel that the parents should be up in front of The Hague though

This James Marriot

I get it , to a degree , Gen Zedders are buying into his schtick and fine

Good for them

However, “influencer turned rock star” should be discouraged

Yes , I’m looking at you KSI

I know we had your Jason Donovan s and Nick Berry s

But still

Inhaler ! I saw them supporting TOUTS at Night and Day

They were good then and the lad had something

However, the nepobaby thing is so strong in that one

Probably the highest nepobaby thing of all time

And I don’t know if we (as a society) will ever look beyond it

Anyone know why it’s that high ?

Absolutely honourable exit by Oliver Tarvet. A real hope for the future and wonderful experience playing Carlos on Centre Court 🎾

A Complete Unknown

Despite there being some clear conflations of events, what an important document on the most significant cultural events in human history !

Not only did Dylan drag the white cultural elite into a new epoch, he brought the rest of the world with it

The times, they were changed

Watching Love and Mercy on bbc4

It’s two films in one but both are really good

Weird, the younger guy looks like him and acts like him but Cusack totally nails it

Interesting role for the woman who plays his modern girlfriend, actress is familiar but can’t remember what she’s been in

Apologies for the slightly poor taste but the thought of Fredrick Forsyth , Sly Stone and Uriah Rennie sat on a cloud, chewing the fat is strange but lovely

I don’t know much about this Chappell Roan, and I don’t think I’m her target audience, but have to admit I’m impressed by her performance at Primavera

A lot of the audience know the words to her songs and some of them are even filming the performance on their phones
