Posting an AI video of yourself flying a jet fighter while shitting on crowds of Americans is certainly a bold choice for someone who shits himself

Why waste money on expensive exorcists? For a budget-friendly way to rid a house of evil spirits, simply grab a stick of chalk and write pro-democracy slogans on the sidewalk

Criticism of the Pope by MAGA Catholics makes me question my faith in my lapsed Catholicism

Trump has achieved the impossible. He's made Scousers, Brummies and Mancunians unite and say nice things about London.

I blame today's scenes in London on the media talking the country into a regression

What's that film where Morgan Freeman, Tom Hardy and Bruce Willis revive an old British shoe shop?

I remember LM fondly. It was named after a popular columnist from ZX Spectrum games mag Crash, Lloyd Mangram, a sort of Hunter S Thompson-lite for Sinclair-loving schoolboys. I was shocked to discover, decades later, that he was just a pen name for various staffers.

Clue was in the name, I guess.

Remembering Brian Wilson by playing Kokomo is like remembering the Beatles by playing K-Tel's The Best of the Beatles performed by Alfie Noakes' Brass Band

Did I ever tell you I was once rudely awakened by Bruce Springsteen in my Auckland Ave student house? I was fast asleep when the Blu Tack gave way on the immense Tunnel of Love poster that hung on the wall beside my bed.

I mean, I'm sure I probably did thank you at some point - maybe at Hull Uni, possibly at Villa Park in 1988 - but for some strange, unfathomable reason I'm particularly grateful to Bruce Springsteen and his music this week

It's a wee bit overdue, I know, but I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank my good friend @iammrsdrake.bsky.social for introducing me to the music of #BruceSpringsteen at 6th Form College in 1987

Watching #DaredevilBornAgain and reminded of that classic Frank Miller story when Ben Urich discovered DD's secret identity after being accidentally invited to a Kingpin group chat

I love the fact Richard Donner tricked Gene Hackman into shaving off his moustache for Superman (and Gene Hackman did, too)

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it.
Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

In the early 2000s my default style consisted of a long brown coat and Converse boots, which ended abruptly in 2005 when David Tennant became #DoctorWho and people accused me of cosplaying.

That's when I started wearing a tweed jacket and bowtie.

OK, where are all the #DavidLynch people hiding? They can't all be on Threads (they're a lovely bunch, by the way)

We need some golden sunshine in the Blue Sky.
