Brought these two at Woolworths in Portsmouth UK out with my mum and da on a boring shopping trip

Just listening to the new @pulp release, when F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E came on. When the song finally kicks in, it threw me sideways sent shivers down my spine and brought a tear to my, not many things can do that. Music is magical. Thank you @jarviscocker.bsky.social and the Band

Anyone want to help me set up a microtransaction news company, instead of subscribing to every newspaper, you prepay for a set amount of credits, these are deducted on a per article basis when reading a news article behind a paywall.. I'd happily buy a fivers worth of credits every month

The UK is totally obsessed & gullible re the small boats, migrants, refugees & immigrants. There are WAY more important things, Russia/Ukraine, energy prices, Trump tariff threats, pollution, racism, war crimes, infrastructure etc etc. But no...it's the small boats & apparently Starmers fault.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

There's two splendid playlists of my instrumental material on Spotify:

Vicious authoritarianism built on a pretext of shameless lies under the cover of scolding Christianity.

Funny old day today, got diagnosed with Acidos and put on a BIPAP machine, got home to find my dad having what i thought was a stroke, still at the hospital not been given a bed, so i'm on standby to go collect him poor sod. He seems 100% better than this morning now though.

@ricardoautobahn.co.uk Thank you and Jen for The CD included with my purchase of the 7inch picture disc. A nice surprise on an other wise meg day :)

Well never new today was the day i learnt you could carry a skirt :D :D

How fucking embarrassing is it for the entire political establishment that they're being outflanked on the left by MICHAEL FUCKING HESSELTINE

For some reason the British far-right get very upset at the prospect of non-English use of the home languages of "our one country, United Kingdom" 🤔

The Pound Shop Boys will also do their solid 12 minute set, so it'll be a fabulous Christmas treat.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

For the UK, Truss’s ‘mini budget’ felt like the apotheosis of this phenomenon. But three years later, things are actually worse. From the Mail to the Telegraph to Farage, the people who cheered & championed it are all measurably madder.

I sometimes wonder if this line of thought is what holds vtubers back the most, whilst you can stack the odds in your favour second guessing if something has a wider appeal only degrades the creative output. Enjoyment is infectious, enjoy what you do. its the best way to grow

NGL i thought it was a picture disc.. now i know its amazing

Differing political definitions of patriotism 3 of the 6 letters (4th quoted in the post) criticising Phillips 😊 Sir, Melanie Phillips expresses a very specific and slightly odd definition of patriotism as "love for the Crown, the armed forces and the common law, and attachment to faith, family and flag" ("Sorry Keir, you don't understand patriotism", , comment, Sep 30). Perhaps that is why she concludes that Nigel Farage offers “the only patriotic force on the horizon". Personally, I regard someone who had a very direct hand in diminishing the United Kingdom's GDP by 4 per cent — as a direct result of our leaving the European Union — as confirming Samuel Johnson's much-quoted remark that "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". Acts rather than words still count for some of us. Shaun Leavey Sherborne, Dorset Sir, Over thousands of years these islands have been invaded and occupied by various tribes, who, at any given moment, represented some kind of "Englishness". "In 300 years' time there might well be another kind of "Englishness", doubtless defending itself from the incursion of escapees from another foreign disaster, and claiming a threat to its purity". We were never pure, and attempts such as the present one to somehow freeze a manufactured notion of "Englishness" are doomed to failure. Jerry Stuart London SEI Sir, There is a fundamental flaw in Melanie Phillips's article. She talks of British patriotism as "attachment to faith, family and flag". °. She doesn't indicate which faith she is referring to, but presumably means the Christian faith as the traditional faith in Britain. However, the faith of Jesus of Nazareth shares much more common ground with the values she seems to dismiss - decency, reasonableness and compassion - than it does with the militarism and flag-waving she seems to endorse. I surely cannot be the only person getting worried when the Christian faith is conscripted into the support of strident nationalism. The Rev Paul Dowling

“That Brexit has made control of immigration more difficult, damaged our economy and weakened opportunities for future generations should make people think twice before putting Brexit's chief proponent in charge of running the country”

If you tune in for the 11:30 pre-show tomorrow, you'll get to hear some re-edits from the 00s, plus the earliest piece of Blender production we can find, apparently a 2003 remix of something we did in 1998/9.

The new Technology Secretary has accused Elon Musk of "inciting violence and hatred" in Britain.

Worthless, ableist fucking shit. I need a seat you fucking arseholes. Hostile architecture designed to deflect the homeless.

Public architecture should be designed by people who have lived with disability and homelessness, and the people responsible for this should be retrained by that experience
