I'm sure Rowing, Bindle and Limeham will be feeling very relieved for Ben and James right now

Powerful episode of television (IYKYK), that at points hit very personally 💕 With a new series out next week, it seems increasingly unlikely I’ll ever catch up, and I’m ok with that 😊

Similarly, this game was released in 2021 and I've had it on my list since 2023 yet it's still £39.95 😬

And people like those in the KRA are just going to have to live with the mess that's been left behind. I guess this person can always get the council to pay for her to go away that weekend like they have done before 🙄

change, you can't control what the change will be, especially when Brighton Pride think they can make a profit. So, the event that took place on two streets got shoved onto one with people still using the other street as well. This comment on the news site sums up the true motive...

Here are my 9 albums. I would have had 'Year One' by Sleeping at Last but it wasn't on the list and I didn't want to have more than 1 album for an artist or I would have included 'Both Sides Now' by Joni and 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' by Sarah.

I’d no idea that this chap, Thom Higgins, the fella who pied Anita Bryant, also gave us the phrase ‘gay pride’ 🏳️‍🌈💕

So someone who only exposes herself to right-wing views, and in fact 'adores' them, asks people if they think she's right-wing? I'm loving that this bright spark calls her intelligent 😂

I’ve seen some peculiar installations on the Annenberg Courtyard but someone holding a flowerpot on her head while sat on a pig over a potato on cheese on a beer barrel on a man in Birkenstocks holding a cup, might take some beating 😂

A colourful, friendly clown taking some time out and contemplating the world.  The colour photo is of Eric Stonestreet as Cam dressed as Fizbo from Modern Family on the bank of a river.A black and white photo of a horrific, Victoria clown that's likely to scream bullshit at your children until they hate everyone as much as they do.

It's hard for me to feel sorry for a multi-millionaire but you do you Lisa 🙄 If Sheeran had wanted a 'family-friendly', 'non-political' show then he should take an active role in choosing supporting acts who are family-friendly and non-political 🤷‍♂️
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has offered her sympathy to Ed Sheeran after his opening acts and backing musicians abandoned his world tour in response to rapper Macklemore being dropped over remarks regarding Gaza.
Speaking to LBC, she said she really felt for Ed Sheeran and that he had been left in an “impossible position”, because he was trying platform support acts while dealing with promoters who didn’t want politics being brought into his performances.
"I hope it doesn’t harm his tour. He’s one of our most successful artists and also one of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with … I have enormous sympathy for the position that he finds himself in," Ms Nandy said.
She also noted that many music fans prefer to separate concerts from political debate and just “enjoy the music”.
She said: "The world is quite a difficult place at the moment, and I think a lot of people do also quite like to have a space where they can go, where they can leave all of that aside.”

Maybe Ed's gotten so rich that he doesn't realise us peasants have access to the internet. We can see how political he is (Ukraine, Brexit, Corbyn/Labour etc) and has been for years. He's not just political, he's way more political than your average musician. Jeez, what a tool 😬

Patronising rubbish. Arguably, those performances in those movies made this brand more popular. Regardless, everyone was paid to do a job, their success wasn't her beneficence. And DR, EW & RG are also allowed opinions that they aren't obliged to preface with 'she's entitled to her opinion'.

No, Linehan 'lost his career' because no one wants to work with him due to his abusive & dogged targetting of anyone who not only disagrees with him but doesn't agree with him enough. Also, for a man who's 'lost his career', he's also extremely well off.

Right, so Craig forgets to mention that trans people are regularly faced with abuse and violence too. Craig also forgets to mention that the government, pretty much all the news outlets and celebrities with millions of followers are hardly being 'shouted down'.
“There’s women, actual women, who are threatened with violence – sometimes get violence – and de-platformed because they have the temerity to say that a woman is an adult human female,” says Craig. “And they are shouted down by 0.5 per cent in a population who are male and who think that because they put on a dress, and they put on make-up, that that makes them a female.”

CW: transphobia in the screenshots. So they're asking any random, white, cishet mediocre musicians about this now 🙄 But what insightful nuggets did we glean from this Pulitzer worthy piece?
Telegraph headline:

"The Proclaimers: The trans lobby are truth-phobic

Ahead of a provocative new album, Craig and Charlie Reid on their anger at the SNP, Western warmongering and the imperilment of free speech."

'Roofman' on Paramount+ Morally complicated true story with Tatum playing a well-meaning guy making terrible decisions and dragging a lot of innocent people down with him. Also, the sentencing in the US is wild! This great cast 👇 plus Ben Mendelsohn and Uzo Aduba make a thought-provoking caper.

They can't end it like that! 🤯 I only re-subbed to Paramount+ for ST:SNW and ST:SA but came across #TheAgency and rattled through both seasons. Amazing cast of Wright, Fassbender, Gere and Turner-Smith, plus Hugh Bonneville & Katherine Waterston. Real edge-of-seat stuff. Season 3 required 🙏

Just a 'gay not queer' man supporting GBN and the views of a woman whose main character trait is homophobia calling us paedophiles. She says 'I’m not saying everyone' but that's in the same f'd up family as the 'love the sinner, hate the sin' twisty get out clause beloved of folk of her ilk.
