I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

😊

Your hypothesis is preposterous, verbose articulation is fundamental for meticulous communication

Humans calling Pokémon "it" in the games always rubbed me up the wrong way but the games confirming Pokémon all have full sentience in Pokopia makes humans full villains

They're absolutely seething that they are such fucking losers that no one can stand to be around

Remember folks: opposing 25 years of escalating war, slaughter and horror is insanely extreme and possibly treasonous, a threat that the police need to crack down hard upon. Cheering it all on and baying for more is Sensible, Moderate and patriotic.

It is mind boggling that there's near universal opposition to the illegal Iran war from the British public but near universal demands to join from the columnist class. And yet they are the ones allowed to determine who is the so-called metropolitan elite?

I would argue that the entire Chelmsford high street is a straight bar so why, why and why would you come to the only LGBTQ bar in the city? Like can you be normal for a second?

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

This whole "family voting" thing is so stupid surely the only ones who believe it are hardcore Reform voters who will never shift and broadcast journalists?

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

The battle for the soul of the country is on. They can lose. We can win. We can dare to hope. Let's go @greenparty.org.uk

This is good Ed

The problem with a quick 1km swim is by the time I'm past the pain barrier I do not want to get out. But I've got stinky work!!!!!

WSJ: Even Contemptible Men Don't Deserve Mob Justice Ex-Prince Andrew, once a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, falls victim to a trans-Atlantic moral panic.

Again, this means: wealthy and powerful people should not be subject to the same laws as everyone else and when one of them is, that is an intolerable aggression against the class of people who actually matter.

Seeing my Daily Mail and The Sun-reading parents tomorrow so I'll get a fair representation of pensioner attitudes when I drop the phrase "Paedo Queen"

Every time I open the door for someone or get out of their way or whatever (I'm v big), nearly every single person looks stunned. Some don't even say thank you they just looked shocked. Being a cunt is so ingrained in our culture now people don't know how to respond to not being one

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule Protest group’s co-founder wins legal challenge against decision to proscribe it under anti-terrorism laws

What's the punishment for putting in place an illegal ban which suppresses freedom of speech? Any prison time? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Yes

Wearing crocs to the gym is a crime against humanity

Polanski is a pleasure to interview because he will answer any question about anyone. Wes Streeting? “Wes is attacking me every day on social media because I’m another gay man in politics who is not willing to throw the trans community under the bus and that exposes his abject immorality. He must know what it’s like to be othered but he’s more bothered about power than protecting the other. It’s disgraceful.”

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

A single local journalist is worth more than every single lobby journalist put together and it's not even a close competition

Years of condescension from overpaid centrist journalists and columnists and hordes of randoms online and it turns out their big "Adults need to be in charge" rallying cry was just their strings being pulled by billionaire filth

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is the closest I've ever felt to "playing an anime", I can feel my inner 10-year-old screaming alongside me

Haha I am good thanks I have gone behind the scenes at Reach recently. How are you, what are you up to??

Fascist Fool-ette

Sharron Davies ranting against 15 minute cities, because of course she is.

Suzanne Moore in the Telegraph saying she wants to... kill all dogs??

Julie Burchill asking "does it matter if Grok undresses us all?" in The Spectator

Graham Linehan in the midst of his now four-day-long double down on Alex Pretti's murder being justified and fine.

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!
