A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

With apologies to my US friends, but I really am sick of having to hear about America’s problems.

The BBC should tell Trump their apology is at the end of a replay of Ghost Watch that he has to watch all the way through first.

![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)
Question for literally anyone: Does alternative cultures still exist for teenagers/early 20’s people?
I have next to no exposure to anyone in that age range, and - from the outside - I don’t see visible public signs of it. I assume it must be there, but it’s always amalgamated so fast I don’t see.

Something I keep thinking about is how I saw Citizen Kane when I was 16, and it gave me an impression that, whilst deeply flawed, the super wealthy would be capable of some measure of emotional depth & interior life, when the reality is that Musk’s final words will be something like ‘Le epic bacon’.
incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

Man, visited Manchester again recently and I can’t stop thinking about how much they’ve turned that city round since I was young. It’s amazing.

Just for bleedin’ one I’d love to see prominent voices in comics not treat children’s comics as an afterthought.

I recently had an absolutely *amazing* pitch meeting, which I interrupted to convince an editor to start watching The Traitors, and I really hope that they are drawing up the contract as thanks.

Well that’s nice news. It’s a damned shame that we don’t have any frontline left leaders over here who are as naturally gifted as Zohran is.

It’s 100% either the SIS Building, Thames House or maybe GCHQ Cheltenham. Like, they would be the most fascinating places (& people!) in the country to be around for 40 years.
