Mani from the Stone Roses was a fantastic, ultra-groovy, bass player who was (FWIW) one of my biggest influences as a bassist. Gutted he's gone. Absolutely devastated. RIP.

I guess I'm a coward. I should stand up for what's right. So, for once, I will.

If any of my Jewish friends need anything in the wake of the barbarism (which now seems inevitable in the city of the vile, much unmissed, Bryn Jones and Xen Hasan) yesterday, please let me know.

It sucks when people don't keep their word.

It sucks even more when Nepo Babies are the beneficiaries of said lack of word-keeping.

Ozzy Osbourne was the personification of the wildness, the insanity, the glory, the power and the wonder of heavy metal. Knocked sideways by his death.

I am just honoured that I got to see his last show.

It's Derby Day! Going with Ruling Court and Midak as my two against the field.

Hi Ben, I'd love to see the report. Thanks.

I've done nothing but pay my dues for a long time, and I'm sick and tired of seeing bum-kissers, posers, wannabes, shills, and frauds jump the queue.

But God only knows how I get what I need.

I've been a journalist for 20 years now. Not sure what that means, but it might mean something to someone. Maybe one day I'll get to be an editor?

After more than 14 years, I've just worked my last Saturday shift for the Mail on Sunday, maybe for now, maybe forever.

It's been a blast.

Back when I was younger, I, too, went through a hat phase.

I'm not lying when I said women seemed to like it.

...you know that and getting in early should avoid price rises.

*The real challenge will be finding somewhere to spend the night.

#BlackSabbath #BlackSabbathTickets #Birmingham

Oh look, I have Black Sabbath tickets.

If you're planning on trying, either in tomorrow's presale or on Friday, here are some tips.

*Log in early and wait for the moment. I got in the waiting room about 9.40.

*Don't panic about the queue length. It goes down quick.

*Yes, it's pricey but...

Ah yes, the previously obscure and unknown beverage Guinness, which no-one over the age of 30 has ever heard of, let alone drunk.

Another great series of #TheTraitors done with. Felt Alexander shot himself in the foot, being The Seer cursed Frankie, and Leanne won by being basically unremarkable. But Jake deserved it.

Oh, and my OH screamed when Frankie picked Charlotte #TheTraitors.

Maybe the envelope will just say "Not Welsh" #TheTraitors

Well, #thetraitors. Pretty much the best competition on TV.

Got three against the field for the Thyestes (Gowran Park, 2.48).

FDC is v interesting, same age, weight, and rating as last year's winner.

Opinion | The missing context from the Elon Musk salute We can’t have a functioning democracy if we think our opponents are evil.

Elon Musk biographer here.

The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now.

Publicly. Daily.

The Post either knows this or should not be in business.

Lisa spending large chunks of the episode channeling the great Jim Ross. "As God is my witness..."

Also, farewell noted wrestling fan Jimmy Carter. Probably the single nicest person to be president. Hope you get front row tickets to watch Mr Wrestling 2 at Celestial Championship Wrestling.

Mone v Statlander was the MotN at #AEWWorldsEnd for me. Definitely a pleasant surprise. #WrestleSky

Well, Bitcoiners, now the self-proclaimed World's Coolest Dictator is stopping making BTC legal tender in El Salvador...there's always the Central African Republic.

It's enough to make one miss the corned beef of one's childhood.

Incidentally, that poem was written by an anonymous Australian. Hang on a minute...

Just found out that Andy Dyer, formerly of Total Magazine and one of the two people who, ultimately, made me think being a journalist would be pretty cool died earlier this year. Bet they have some glorious games where he is.
