Right, I’m back. Time to be a twat on here again.

I’ve been away a while. Anyone I know still here?

Mathew MacFadyen as Nick Clegg please

Do you think we’ve probably waited until this point before offloading players as a result?

NO MORE MISTER NIGHT SKY.

And such an always online reference. I know it’s an interview for the FT and they’re high information voters but come on.

Listening to the latest NS pod which describes Kemi Badenoch as someone who is tough to reach, disappears into her iPad and AirPods, doesn’t want to go far from her home and keeps banging on about a few niche areas of interest. Hard relate babe, hard relate.

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social @kermodemovie.bsky.social @simonmayo.bsky.social Given it’s become a global sensation, I’d love to know what you think of Netflix’s K Pop Demon Hunters

“You were a fucking arsehole between 2-4pm”

FACT: Crocodile Dundee lived in the same street as his arch-rival, Crocodile Dundee United.

The Express!

Soda Pop from K-Pop Demon Hunters sounds like The 1975

For all Twitter's failings, it occasionally still serves up gems

1 [Title panel] Celebrity Race Across The World 2 [Voiceover] Meanwhile in Italy, Yvette and Ed have to cross a river. [Show YVETTE COOPER and ED BALLS standing on a riverbank. At Yvette’s feet is a canoe. Ed is reading a guidebook.] 3 ED BALLS: Yvette - are you sure crossing the Rubicon is a good idea? YVETTE COOPER: It’s the only way, Ed. 4 ED BALLS: Only it says in the guidebook ‘The Rubicon is noted for the on-the-nose political annotations which can be seen in its currents’… 5 ED BALLS [squinting up from his guidebook to look at the river]: Oh yeah, look - 6 [We see an elevated view of the river, where the words BANNING NONVIOLENT PROTEST are written in the waves]. 7 YVETTE COOPER: Cor, that’s amazing! 8 ED BALLS: And I can’t help noticing the canoe you’ve found has ‘THE FOLLY OF POWER’ written on it [Show their canoe by Yvette’s feet, with THE FOLLY OF POWER written on the side]. 9 ED BALLS: And can you see that *sign* on the other side… 10 [Show the land on the other sign of the river which has a sign stuck in the ground reading]: AN ACTUAL AUTHORITARIAN DYSTOPIA, DON’T BE MENTAL 11 YVETTE COOPER: Sorry Ed - remind me what you do again…? ED BALLS: An awful podcast with George Osborne. YVETTE COOPER: And I’m…? 12 ED BALLS: Home Secretary. YVETTE COOPER: Get in the on-the-nose canoe, Ed. [ends]

Headline from the Daily Mail, 11 April 1927: "Stop the Flapper-Vote Folly!"

The right-wing press is going mad over votes at 16 ("a naked attempt to twist democracy in Labour’s favour", an "election-rigging move"...)

Oddly, they said the same 100 years ago when the voting age for women fell from 30 to 21.

Let's revisit the Mail's campaign to"Stop the Flapper Vote Folly"...

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

Said it before - procurement teams across government are being treated like unreproachable Gods and it's absolutely ruining multiple policy areas because they'd don't know what they're doing.

"Death to the IDF" = 😡

Death by the IDF = 👍

I obviously can't speak for other jews, but to me the world's richest man tweaking his AI so that it now describes things it doesn't like on a scale of "bagel to full Shabbat" and "Peak Jewish" is a somewhat higher priority than people being mean about the IDF at Glasto.

The Salt Path (post-credits scene):

*Moth & Raynor Winn enter their home to find Hannah Ingram-Moore & Johann Hari waiting for them*

Hari: "I'm putting together a team."

The real Salt Path: how the couple behind a bestseller le... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal it was far from the truth

I spent months on this investigation and gathered docs from the UK courts, Land Registry and a French local authority, to show that Raynor and Moth Winn's story is not as they claim. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social @observeruk.bsky.social

Texts show Team Corbyn opposed new party minutes after launch A left-wing collective, headed by Jeremy Corbyn, wants to take on Labour — but can it? Its founders are already battling each other on WhatsApp

Amazing stuff per @gabrielpogrund.bsky.social – there were two plans on how to start a new left party.

One faction proposed a vote between the two. The other disagreed and didn’t participate. They had the vote anyway, and Zarah Sultana announced the new party hoping everyone would go along with it…

I'm no fan of vandalising RAF bases, but the Pal Action ban seems deeply worrying unless there's some other non-disclosed aspect we haven't been told about.
