It’s telling that Joe Marler, a rugby player who’s probably had more than his fair share of head trauma, is the one who’s worked it all out.

What do you suggest people do with this list? Unfollow those on it? Give them a stern frown? Tut loudly?

Weird thing to do tbh.

If you’re in comms and media do give @danslee.bsky.social a follow on here, he knows his onions.

Regional daily website posted guide to non-existent property law - Journalism News from HoldtheFrontPage IPSO complainant claims article was AI-generated

Hull Daily Mail website posted guide to non-existent property law - Journalism News from HoldtheFrontPage - suspicion raised here is that it was AI generated. Pretty poor if your AI is making it up as it goes along… www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2025/news/re...

In recent weeks I’ve found myself walking the aisles singing along to You Might Think, by The Cars and My Sherona by The Knack, both stone cold Dad Rock classics.

I think that social media has created opportunities for MPs to libel one another more easily, and consequently more of them are using libel threats to counter that.

Good news for lawyers.

Ben Bradley apologises unreservedly for Corbyn spy claims Labour says Tory MP will tweet apology and has agreed to pay undisclosed sum to charity

Unusual, but not unheard of, Jeremy Corbyn took action, resulting in an apology and payment to charity by Tory MP Ben Bradley - www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

This is almost comedically evil. A churnalism story that I suspect will be retold for decades.

Front row though…

So quite a few new followers … a heads-up once again that verification works a little differently over here, and not how you may be used to elsewhere.

Possibly, but politicians, especially ministers, tend not to sue for this sort of stuff. Musk would fight it and it would be enormously distracting, and even if he lost it’s a drop in the ocean of his billions. Pointless doing it really.

Nice shed. Like it in black & white too, classy.

But it’s not even remotely like a local bar.

It’s the equivalent of the printing press, and that’s what you’re banning people from using.

It’s a Tele at heart, which the ashtray bridge gives away. Cream T pups which are recreations of Fender ‘57s. Super light body, but doesn’t seem to affect resonance so I’m pleased with it.

Pizza lovers are the worst, imho.

Definitely more Tele DNA, they make a very nice take on the Junior too.

And this is one of the most beautiful things about it, my back is thanking me…

It’s a model of theirs called a York, and it’s their take on a Telecaster

Gone.

Nuked from space.

Fancy!

Mmmmm crispy pancakes. Angel Delight for pudding?

I'm surprised at how my view on assisted dying has shifted from broadly in favour of a change to opposing Leadbeater's bill. Liz Carr's documentary is an important contribution to this debate as is this ⬇️
