If you could isolate one person in journalism (apart from Murdoch) as the one who encouraged and egged on lying on a daily basis in their profession, Kelvin Mackenzie would be the one. I do hope he gets stuck in a pothole being eaten by tigers one of these fine days.

Even this appearance of Stewart Morris's name on an end credit roll seems to be bellowed in stentorian tones, as it should be.

There's a couple of things that stick in my mind from watching Sesame Street when I was younger and one of them is this, which, while genuinely fascinating and captivating, I always found ever so slightly sinister and creepy and even unsettling.
When I was on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social I chose this sequence from a 1979 Sesame Street episode - probably the first time I ever heard Philip Glass was this exclusive piece he wrote for this animated sequence, Geometry of Circles. It's never appeared anywhere else.

Will catch up with the rest of tonight's #forgotten80s in the week - the second hour fine accompaniment for the journey back home from Chester and a SOTN award to The Mighty Wah.
Will be back in the fold next week so until then, love and big hugs to you all!

Paul's memoir is, as you would probably expect, a genuinely entertaining and fascinating read. Highly recommended by both me and Kit.

Thread. Things i have learnt since publishing a memoir.
1. Dont assume sales based on twitter followers if youre then going to leave the racist cesspit.
2. You're on your own.
3. Whatever you think the headline stories are, the tabloids will disagree.

Likewise, we will also be unable to make it as it's been something of a week here and we're very much out of spoons, but if you are in Liverpool tonight then please do go and see the rather magnificent @spraypopmusic.com at The Outpost. Guaranteed top level entertainment for all and sundry!
If you are in Liverpool tonight then you should be going to see @spraypopmusic.com at The Outpost tonight, plus some of their chums. There is nothing better.

"May you be badly positioned on a windy day" has now just become my new favourite insult and I will endeavour to use this at least once a day in the future.
I reckon you should lean into creative insults like you get in Irish - ‘May you be badly positioned on a windy day’, ‘My cat’s curse upon you’ etc.

I suspect interlopers from the Wirral who are too used to writing "West Kirby".

A magnificent win for the team in tonight's penultimate OQL match of the season sees us going into the final week fourth in the table, and with a small but viable chance that, if things go in our favour next week, we finish second and secure promotion back to division 3!!!!

there’s a trans woman on ‘only connect’ and graham linehan is hassling victoria coren over it.
i like how he thinks he can out-fox a three time world poker champion by laying down a dipshit ultimatum and then saying ‘a simple yes or no will suffice’ like the dumbass debate-me-bro he’s become.

TFW, as a nation, you have abandoned the effort to properly resource a decent rounded education for all, and have decided instead to focus on using physical coercion to drive teenagers through a pointlessly overstuffed exam system, before being forced to stay in education for 2 more years anyway.
