Belle And Sebastian Debut New Scottish Football Anthem “It Only Takes One Lion” Despite having a song called “The Stars Of Track And Field,” back in the day, Belle And Sebastian’s image was not especially athletic. The songs were for and about shy, bookish types, and frontman Stuart Murdoch’s struggle with chronic fatigue syndrome is what led to him writing songs in the first place. Yet the band…

Mass stupidity is something democracy must wrangle with sooner rather than later if it is to survive.

I’d suggest raising the school leaving age to 18 for a start, and the teaching of basic philosophy and media literacy from age 11 up.

That and the complete destruction of tech oligarchs of course.

Regularly on Today Programme they'll discuss the need to expand Heathrow & up the number of flights....without the slightest qualm or mention of the climate catastrophe.

There's no point in David Attenborough pleading 'we must all do our bit' if the BBC's flagship news can't be arsed mentioning it

A tweet by The Substack of Boba Fett @agraybee:

Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like "I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses."

Seems a real missed opportunity for the Greens not to have used Iran to reframe the energy transition as a national security and cost of living issue, instead of just an 'environmental' one. Big chance to put that front and centre.

Donald trump with a model plane

Trump has just held up a model of a B2 fighter plane and declared these are dropping the biggest bombs on Iran you’ll ever see.

B2s are reportedly taking off from British bases.

Keir Starmer must answer my simple question. Are these planes attacking Iran?
