It's that vital first step that I find so troublesome.

Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People - The Glee Club The iconic Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People season extravaganza is headed to Cardiff for the first time

People have asked us for ages to bring Nine Lessons to Cardiff so we're slated to be there on Dec 9th this year! That is, if all of you who begged us to bring the show there buy tickets coz it's not looking great right now... @robinince.bsky.social @garwboy.bsky.social www.glee.co.uk/performer/ni...

I've often thought about doing an actual play podcast. Then I think of the people I play with and the fact there are obscenity laws & I reconsider pretty quickly.

There's a couple of different postings on Dailymotion for it. One is the full movie, the other splits it into 3. I can't check it out more than that because of my ad blockers.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

The daring jewel heist at the Louvre was a masterclass in efficient planning, skill and organisation. It's imperative that the culprits are now apprehended and asked to form a government.

I'm in a similar place. If it's any consolation, most of the people I know that aren't neurodivergent are fucked up too, but in way less creative ways.

Showaddywaddy (with Romeo) are playing locally in a couple of months & I'm really tempted to go. The thing is, I don't want to spoil the memory of what they meant to me as a kid.

Bans on away fans are fairly common. Examples have included a blanket ban on all away fans at Celtic v Rangers, all 1st & 2nd div matches in Cyprus & a 12 yr ban in Argentina.
Individual bans were placed on Dinamo Zagreb, Legia Warsaw, Anderlecht v Standard Liège, PSV, West Ham, Greece v Croatia etc

The fact that this is Newsom’s response to a coordinated planned terrorist display should be disqualifying for future office.

Deploy. The. National. Guard. That’s a governor’s right. Don’t capitulate to bullies.

"In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family."

I've got to admit I'm shocked. I never knew any of the royals did any work. Does the DWP know?

Also: normalise calling out family members for low level racism and homophobia over Christmas dinner. You're not "spoiling the atmosphere" - they are. I've never understood this weird lols culture about "having to put up with racist uncle". Tell him to shut up. Tell your family to stop allowing it.

Woman, 80s, dies three years after Dublin attack A woman in her 80s who was attacked in south Dublin just over three years ago has passed away.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...
