Christ almighty, I wouldn’t buy a song mixed by him, let alone a sauce 😅
Me holding a bottle of chilli sauce called Tingly Ted’s Tingly Sauce, ‘mixed by Ed Sheeran’ The back of the bottle. The first paragraph says ‘Who’s Ted? He’s Ed Sheeran’s sidekick. A teddy with a taste for hot sauce and a craving for adventure’

Check out this fantastic print of Bernadette Devlin McAliskey by @ciaraioch.bsky.social that’s just taken pride of place on my bedroom wall!
Black and white print in a black frame with mount, on a white wall. The print is of a young woman with long dark hair sitting on a fence. She is holding a poster that says: ‘Vote Peoples Democracy. Jobs for all, Houses for all, Votes for all. Now.’

Something has indeed gone very wrong, Hannah Rose Woods (quote from her excellent book, ‘Rule, Nostalgia: A Backwards History of Britain’)
Photo of part of a book page. The text says: ‘Something has gone very wrong with how we think about Britain’s history when the empire comes to be accounted for as a balance sheet of good and bad, as if any conceivable gains could make this a price worth paying.’

Can't believe the French called it 'la vésicule biliaire' when 'Gaul bladder' was staring them right in the face!

Adore this photo in the paper of Lima, the one-year-old cat living in a second-floor flat in Amsterdam who's taken for a half-hour walk twice a day 😻 (Het Parool, 13/01/24. Photographer: Isabella Rozendaal)
The photo, taken at night, shows a Bengal cat climbing a narrow silver tree trunk. The cat is facing the camera. The cat's mouth is wide open, and it looks like she is shouting. The cat has a lead round her collar (the person holding the lead is out of shot). Behind the cat and tree you can see some houses and the night sky. There is a short explanatory text in Dutch in the bottom left of the picture.

Happily, it looks like it's been cancelled thanks to pressure from protestors. But the owner of the Apollo, Nimax Theatres, can get to fuck
Screenshot of tweet from Black-Jewish Alliance (@BlackJewishA). They quote-tweeted Nimax Theatres (@NimaxTheatres), who wrote: 'The Apollo Theatre is closed on Sunday 4th February with no events.' Black-Jewish Alliance wrote in the quote tweet: 'They were scheduled to host a fundraiser for Israeli army reservists, hosted by Douglas Murray. The event was cancelled after protest, with workers refusing to staff the event despite being offered triple pay. Shocking and disgusting they tried to buy support for genocide.'

I mean, I’m all for reusing waste water as much as possible, but I’m not sure I’d want to pour that on my Shreddies

Just got home from a fantastic Momi Maiga concert at the BIMHUIS in Amsterdam. If you have a chance to see him and his brilliant band live, take it! (Check out a live performance of their song Dadje here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df0g... ) 🎶
Picture of a stage in a concert venue. You can see three musicians on stage: a man in the middle playing a kora, a man behind him on a drum kit, and a man on the left of the photo (right of the stage) playing the cello. Behind the stage is a curtain and some large drop-down lights, and a window from which you can look down onto the street below.
