Go go Hypnotits!
*rubs hands* Looking forward to the next few years of saying "Hypnotits says what now?" every time the new leader of the Greens opens his mouth.
Read Sara’s thread about the infuriating replies she’s been getting. I think the internet has ruined how we interact. People are so used to scams they think everything must be dodgy and will try and make it dodgy even if they have to invent a job ad that doesn’t exist.
Bloody hell. Jasper Carrott is 80 years old and still gigging youtu.be/Jmk_Kq5zFUE?...
Like Pratchett's saffron-robed monks popping out of tunnels
98 ish
because of woke www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...
Some friends moved there about that time and man it was gentrifying HARD
What a fabulous idea
SCALA!!! News...
What the fuck?
The trick is to do it during a teams call. "Brb" in the chat, camera off, reappear in a different top
Oh good now he's progressively saying in a progressive way that African-Americans aren't American.
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
Really makes you think.
Or a greasy suck up, obviously
Amol Rajan *is* a tedious ego-trip. I can only assume that management think so highly of him because he is amazingly charming in person.
Someone once said of him that no matter where he goes in the world, he seems to cast a Big Mac-shaped shadow
New episode up now. The Tombs of Atuan (1970) by Ursula K. Le Guin, the second part of Earthsea, with guest Frank Cottrell-Boyce in conversation with Una McCormack and Andy Miller. @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social @iammilliam.bsky.social @unamccormack.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0sc5...
"Navy SEALs have tracked down and killed the man who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong".
"Our scientists, led by RFK Jr, have concluded that, in fact, pee IS stored in the balls"
OK, this is unexpected. TIL that Billy Gibbons is a big fan of, and also friends with, Depeche Mode vinylwriters.com/billy-gibbon...
One for the teenagers in the audience, there
"It's Friday! It's five to five! It's Majchrzak!"
And so it begins
I do like the Rankin. *dons suit in Boleskin tweed*
Lesser known Dostoevsky?
Apparently I've missed some heated Chicken Tikka Masala discourse. For my part, I belatedly offer the following origin evidence from an Indian menu I ordered from in Oslo last year:
Friend of mine from university was completely bald by about 23. However from the neck down he looks like he's covered in carpet.
You'll be amazed to find that Hamas has posted approvingly about it
"You ok, babe? You've barely sprawled on your sausage couch"
This seems important:
I have actually done this, to a well-respected and fairly well-known Chicagoan theatre and politics guy. Worked with his other half, got drunk with them, pressed a copy on him. Thankfully he liked it a lot.
(and yes, those curries have been inordinately enriched since by British people of Indian and Bangladeshi ancestry helping to develop a distinctly British take on one of the great world fusion foods - there's a very good reason it's so popular here)
This is small beer compared to changes already put in. Pre-COVID a walk-up Peak standard class return to London was about £110. Last week it cost me £260. (I travelled Peak because I had to get in for a meeting that was then cancelled at the last minute)
Currywurst and chips is an epic cure for a Weissbier hangover
“Speak of the devil.”
Do I have any builder/DIY peeps following me? I’ve just had some concrete slabs installed and want to paint them before the solar batteries are installed on them. Is there a good type of paint for this? Would Sandtex do it?
Which they sell in supermarkets too
Fun discourse related fact - curries have been a part of British cuisine for longer than the USA has been a country.
Mmm, "extruded snacks"
looks like a plaster
Latest War on Europe news
In January this year, Bluesky had about 1.6m accounts liking a post each day, and about 800,000 actually posting. That peaked at 2.2m and 1.1m respectively later that month. Today, it’s 1.2m likers and 600,000 posters. That’s a steady loss of 25% (or nearly 50% from peak) in seven months.
But they wanted the search for the subs to stay secret, so Ballard got the funding he needed for his remotely operated underwater vehicle, and the navy got the ideal cover story for the hunt for the subs. Strange that he was more successful than the guy with the monkey trained to point at a map...
In other history news today, it’s the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the wreck of the Titanic, after a search part-funded by the US Navy, which only really wanted oceanography professor Robert Ballard to find two missing nuclear submarines
You've seen that all of the coverage today is a unified campaign run by NGOs? Not even organic journalism, just reporters taking dictation
I can't see who it is so one of us has already blocked the other
I came across this user comment while looking for some Nick Drake demos on YouTube just now. Have a read - it's rather magical. Original link: youtube.com/watch?v=fBdb...
Just passed a place called ABBA CAR RENTALS. So I’ve made a start. • Knowing Me, Knowing Yugo • Mamma Kia • The Daewoo Before You Came • The Name Of The Daimler • Jimny Jimny Jimny #abbacars
Phenomenal work

The Future, created by Betty Bebbington c.1965, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital in Surrey where she was compelled to live. This is one of a small number of her mostly abstract surviving works, several of which feature these drifts & vortices of darkness with notations in her own hand
I refuse to believe that Wubbo is a name
Is part of this the middle class colonisation of the arts - many of people who commission and create this stuff come from backgrounds where entitled self belief is ingrained?
"Amenable to lobbying" by being put on a list of traitors by the self-appointed fucken Gauleiter of Bluesky, Jesus Christ
Oof
Storm Dave. DAVE.
Hand-painted celestial escape in the Méliès fantasy THE KINGDOM OF THE FAIRIES. The film was available as an entire presentation or as separate sequences. Fairy extravaganzas were big business on the stage but the movies made them available to all.
The first time I saw it was a different colleague who I was chatting to as he logged on and deleted everything after a holiday. "You can't do that!" I said. "No one's going to sack me or give me a pay rise on email. Nothing else really matters, does it?"
I used to work with a colleague whose out of office read "I am on leave until X. I will delete all emails unread on my return. If it's important please email me again after X"
For posterity. Recommend reporting this one tbh, absolutely vile.
Fucking hell
..."We're all with you, Mister Montgomery!" and Monty says "Er... Yerssss" and carries on speaking, taking great care not to look at Secombe again.
Wonderful story of Monty addressing the troops in N Africa in 43 when his eyes alight on the tubby form of Lance Bombardier Secombe, his scraf pulled up over his nose and his beret rammed down to his eyes. Secombe, feeling the great man's eyes boring into him, shouts...
The BBC payroll was heisted at Television Centre in the early 60s and the thieves got away because security thought that it was Bentine pulling another one. Really true.
I remember watching similar cackling from him when he recalled that the notoriously well-endowed Bombardier "Plunger" Bailey in his regiment was excused shorts
I saw Doddy do "What a wonderful day for sticking a cucumber through the vicar's letterbox and shouting 'The Martians are coming'" at the Floral Hall in Scarborough in 1983 and I didn't get that one until about two years ago.
I thought that was Secombe?
As always, Graham McCann has the inside skinny.
Bentine's wiki page is astonishing. And "I am half Peruvian. Yes, my father came from Peru. Which surprised my mother" is a joke that I took DECADES to get
Does anyone know why they fell out so badly? Never seen anything other than the sketchiest details
I do like the story of Spike sending the increasingly paranoid Sellers telegrams stating IGNORE PREVIOUS TELEGRAM

*peers over lorgnettes* "Of the Hertfordshire Bollocks?"
Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Oh my
I once overheard two women pensioners on the bus. - You'll never guess who's dead? Who? - Dai Dai who? - *cups her hands as if holding two ripe watermelons* Dai Bollocks mun!
so that you pay full price to complete the set?
I remember the faux outrage the Eye's cover caused at the time
Here’s one I wrote many moons ago
Oh man. I've stayed there. Not the greatest hotel

Roses are red Poems should scan Happy 12th anniversary to this headline which says
It’s the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death in 1997. Here’s BBC One breaking into possibly the most unfortunate scene imaginable to initially tell people that something had happened. m.youtube.com/watch?v=FPhC...
Not seen this before. Bloody hell
PSA for people who like this sort of thing - a bunch of Mick Herron's "Slow Horses" books are 99p each today on Kindle and Kobo. NINETY NINE PEE.
![Returning to Brazil, he joined Bangu, where he again used his fake injury scam. However, Castor de Andrade, the club's major sponsor and patron, became tired of seeing him just training. During one match, Castor told the coach to play him, as the team was losing 2–0. When Kaiser was sent to warm up, he saw a group of supporters shouting abuse at the players and started to fight them, for which he immediately received a red card without even participating in the actual match. After the match, he lied to the patron that the supporters called him a thief. He was forgiven and earned a six-month extension.[3]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ovmoyxicp4hramrokx4vk3o5/bafkreieo6apwmgaatwrtwplwbex6jqp344vipavesu3ubi346uemwrjmwq@jpeg "Click to view full size")
