sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.

Just finished #nowwatching DTF St. Louis. It’s very good. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fall in love, you’ll feel things that you don’t often feel when watching television. And its got Linda Cardellini in it.

Throwing my support behind the lad on bake-off who’s modelling himself on David Ruffin c.1966

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

High streets are an important part of modern Britain. It's where afternoon drinkers go to get interviewed by news reporters for their views about immigration.

Grim scenes in Brazil (thread)

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Man Utd fans leaving before half time as Bournemouth fans sing ‘going down with the City’. Proper heartwarming stuff.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

What happens when the two sevens clash twice?

In which it turns out The Go’Betweens’ ‘Lee Remick’ came out in the same week as ‘Radio, Radio’. This has completely done for my understanding of things.

Just had a call from a Director’s PA asking when I could meet next week. ‘Mornings are better. Morning of the 26th? Afternoon of the 27th, right.’

once again I'm posting Harold Wilson's "Little Things That Mean A Lot" memo and list because I genuinely think a lot more politicians should have a copy of it pinned up next to their desk

I hope your no girl in your life ever needs it, but if nudes end up online she can go to the page below to have them removed. This is for anyone under 18. It’s a crime to have indecent images of minors, even if the other party is also a minor. (Tell yr sons this) www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/...

Timeline cleanser! Stan Laurel leaves a room.

I mean it’s not a vetting problem, is it? It’s that it’s a racist party, run by racists, with racist policies, for the benefit of racists. The fact that it turns out to be full of racists is not a glitch

Lou Reed - "Robert Quine once made me a tape of all of the Burton solos from Ricky Nelson's records." HR Enterprises recreated it on YT. One commenter added "The first 4 mins not at all James Burton leads - Barney Kessel & Joe Maphis." Fascinating. youtu.be/yniPSrAbZlI?...

I have seen every imaginable insult, slur and term of abuse in witness statements in criminal cases over the years, describing the verbals uttered by a drunk defendant. Today, for the first time ever, I encountered a case where a police officer was called "a fucking satchel" and "a dirty biscuit".

Pleasantly surprised to hear Jan Egeland on R4 WATO given 5 mins to call out settler violence- ‘a mafia’ of people from Brooklyn and Russia acting with the approval of and/or assistance from the Israeli government and the IDF. Expect backlash and BBC retraction later today.

The whole Arday scandal and the reaction to it makes perfect sense when you assume that, for those responsible, the death of a young black person of some modest prominence and influence was a good outcome, they're glad it happened, and would like to do it again.
