To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

I’ll be joining @talksport.com radio at 12.15 to talk about the Gary Neville video & the hysterical backlash to it that seems to be the norm now, when anyone involved in football dares to express a nuanced or humanitarian opinion.

Fellow football fans tune in 😊😊

‘Don’t ask me. I’m ignorant I’m afraid.’

After a day of enforced looking back, I took to thinking about my favourite punk / new wave song of the 70s and I decided upon Ian Dury, Don’t Ask Me.

Yes, I know, it’s not punk. Whatever. It’s my choice.

What’s yours?

I’ll have a lot more detail about this apparently random encounter in the next edition of @bylinetimes.bsky.social
And then there's this intriguing Tweet from Koloshyn's wife @NadinSassy who fled Ukraine along with him to Belarus just before Russia's full-scale invasion. It was taken in 2018 and posted in April this year. What does it mean? 11/12

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

@djdebgrant.bsky.social Rise by PIL twice in two days? Then the penny dropped, if I'm right then much love and respect to whoever is responsible.

Rise joins Up Against The Wall and Joy Division Oven Gloves as 6 anthems.

Really enjoying this punchy, brisk expose: if you want to know why the (news) media is so shit and why media studies/ criticism should be taught in schools, look no further. Mic Wright names names (those dreadful columnists) and, unusually, admits his own complicity
