David Pomeranz very much the secret sauce over at scientology studios but the Chick Corea song on here ("Why Worship Death?") is truly something

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

What Will Happen With AI Music? Only a copyright claim from a major label could stop an AI-generated pop song from breaching the Hot 100. What now?

What Does Bill Ackman Want With Universal Music Group? Critics don't matter unless they own ten percent of the company.

‘It’s a northern sound, it gives you hope that it can happen to you’: how bassline bounced back Once maligned as a scene marred by violence, bassline is booming once again thanks to pioneers such as Big Ang, Jamie Duggan and a T2 track that changed everything

And was also fun to get stuck into the story and history of bassline and how it's gone from a genre that police once outlawed to a celebratory and family-friendly part of Bradford City of Culture.

you know I wouldn't say I had high hopes for "the Spectator interviews the Tate brothers" anyway but somehow the piece is worse than I thought it would be

JACK WHITEHALL Live 2012 YouTube video by British Comedy TV

Cannot find a better hit of pure cringe than British comedy DVDs from about fifteen years ago. This has got a really rough start where ten minutes in Whitehall reverts to a Russell Howard rip-off somehow more agonising than the real thing

I feel like i'm losing my mind. Feels like "Pulse" (2001 J-horror) where isolated internet users start dissolving IRL.

day may not have been off-the-cuff remarks. A private notebook from the £1,240-per-night Dorchester Hotel seen by the New Statesman - filled with handwriting that seems to match Badenoch's own - contains a scribbled mind map that outlines the points she made at that shadow cabinet meeting, from the word "buffoon" to a note: "Unforced Errors — D-Day". The words mirrored her criticism of Sunak's gaffe, which was later leaked to the Times. The notebook also contains affirmations about public speaking linked to the heading "Personal Improvement": "Breathe, breathe, breathe"; "Pause, Pause, Pause", "You are a serious person who does big things"; "Pivot to attacking Labour when uncomfortable"; "Remember you are the standard bearer of the right"; "Don't let people think you are easily wound up"

you are a serious person who does big things

RIP Rear of the Year

Harry Hill at the BFI was terrible for this… I felt I had no choice but to get involved

Parody song idea "The First American Pope" set to the tune of that Mitski song

Me and Mick got to explain jelqing to our girlfriends at dinner last night

A friend who is a trans woman and who plays women’s football received an email from the FA about the decision which contains this paragraph.

Free therapy to cope with the fact you’ve been transphobic bigots, fucking brilliant.

Jack Kinney’s Get Rich Quick (1951) is an urbane parable about the perils of gambling that also presents it as the coolest thing you could possibly be doing with your money

This is the absolute nuts

Took this photo half cut last night and genuinely at the time I was like, this is the most beautiful piece of photography ever taken

The Alvin Show is so, so good

Watching Girls and thinking it would be fun to start chronicling fake twitter accounts from film and tv. Realising that wouldn’t be fun (in any real sense) at all but posting this anyway

Keir Starmer’s hollow state Labour’s planned welfare cuts are further evidence of a government running scared from two political foes: the City and Nigel Farage.

'Starmer’s approach to government... has its own historical occasion and character... an attempt to develop a more effective form of crisis management for a nation in decline'

Mickey Mouse points shotgun at small baby

Droopy gun is one of the ultimate gags. This bit from Mickey Plays Papa is an exceptionally striking example, charged with meaning

discovering this 90s euroscepticism artifact, an attempt to ride on the coatails of robert harris fatherland with a dystopian thriller where the uk gets absorbed further and further into the eu such that trafalgar square is renamed to delors square and a "classlessness directive" imposes socialism
