How am I only just getting into John Cale?

Listen, I agree there’s loads of good signs re Burnham, but taking a firm pro-immigration stance should be a basic requirement for an ostensibly progressive politician. And sorry for being biased here as an immigrant myself. Mahmood made me want to leave the UK and keeping her is incredibly hurtful.

Kevin Keegan: he hated fascists

@tedkessler.bsky.social and Hamish McBain’s Oasis book is superb. Endlessly hilarious Gallagher anecdotes and a reminder of the thriving music press we used to enjoy. Bring back Q!

It’s coming home!

The Fathers by @nivenj1.bsky.social is fantastic. Having been through something similar to the main character it was a tough read at times but a genuinely uplifting ending #johnniven #fathers

Super Furry Animals in Manchester - what a gig! #superfurryanimals

Can Vance please come and campaign for Reform in the local elections?

#gorillaz in Manchester. Astonishing

Loving the new Dresden Files book and eternally grateful to @helenlohara.bsky.social for introducing me to the series

We were shocked and gutted to hear of the death of Mani, bass legend from Stone Roses and Primal Scream. In a special tribute, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social talks to @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social about why the world loved Mani and how he changed British music #RIPMani x Listen linktr.ee/talk90stome

Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canada will recognize the state of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September. Carney says this move comes amid Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and its relentless war on Gaza.

@cornershophq.bsky.social listening to the mighty England is a Garden for the millionth time. Please say there’s a new album in the works

The new #pulp album just gets better and better with every play. What a band

I knew I’d love Uncommon People by @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social and I did. As someone who was working in a Virgin Megastore in the mid 90s it brought back some amazing memories. What a time to have been young and alive #britpop

Is that @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social in a photo with Mr Tumble and the Libertines at Glasto or am I having a very weird dream

RIP #brianwilson - an absolute genius and a devastating loss

Hideous @theobserveruk.bsky.social front page today. What the hell are they thinking? Like some Mail on Sunday propaganda. Bodes very badly for @tortoisemedia.bsky.social ownership

Delighted by the Le Pen sentence. You reap what you sow

Do not travel to the US. It begins...

@pilottvpod.bsky.social can’t wait to hear the pod discuss the Ted Lasso season 4 renewal news. We need Lasso more than ever

@tortoisemedia.bsky.social pretty shabby to hear about your treatment of the excellent @carolecadwalla.bsky.social . You’ve lost another subscriber

Slava Ukraini

"When people tell you who they are, believe them"

Beautiful tribute by @chrishewitt.bsky.social and the gang to David Lynch on the Empire podcast

RIP David Lynch. Devastating. Twin Peaks is a work of absolute genius. Even his failures were fascinating #davidlynch

Sad sad news about Tony Slattery. He was an absolute joy on Whose Line.

Prediction - Musk will combust by the end of the year. He’s spiraling badly. The man needs a medical intervention

Paul McCartney at Manchester was SENSATIONAL. What a national treasure. So poignant #macca #paulmccartney

‘As the Observer’s editor, I was not consulted on its sale to Tortoise Media.’ Damning takedown letter to Guardian from recently ex-Observer editor Paul Webster www.theguardian.com/media/2024/d...

Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line

Paul Heaton was sensational last night. Even my 16 year old daughter loved it. Such a good egg #paulheaton

Quite emotional to see the Assisted Dying Bill pass yesterday. Finally giving humans agency over their lives - Parliament at its best (a rarity)

We'd love to see you to join us on t next Wednesday and Thursday (Dec 4 and 5) , any time of day, outside the Guardian (90 York Way, London N1 9GU) for chats, songs, speeches and, of course that striking essential ... cake.

Got my Elis and John tickets (and producer Dave) for Leeds. Cannot wait #thisfeelssignificant

Wow! 👀 Press freedom orgs @ecpmf.bsky.social @indexoncensorship.org International Press Institute @efjeurope.bsky.social & OBC Transeropa ask Guardian’s Scott Trust: “What safeguards are there?” “Why is the sale only being discussed with one preferred bidder?” pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/n...

The line up for the Friday for #tramlines 2025 is INSANE! #pulp #spiritualised #johngrant I don’t feel so bad for missing out on Glastonbury now

The only way to defeat Putin is by handing him his arse.

@sylvpatterson.bsky.social ‘s second book is just as good as her first but VERY different vibe. Astonishing at how funny it is whilst also incredibly bleak at times. Subject matter is very different but it reminded me of @nivenj1.bsky.social ‘s recent memoir. Inspiring stuff

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

Voters were wrong to support Trump. People will tell you this isn't a helpful thing to say. But our role atm isn't to be helpful. It is to be truthful tinyurl.com/5x9hmss7

Finally quit the hellscape of X for a hopefully kinder place
