Thank you @themonochromeset.bsky.social for coming to Leicester. Was such a treat to hear tunes like Devil Rides Out and Jet Set Junta. Hopefully Andy managed to earn himself a few more pennies off the price of Bid's new book...

BBC News - "The Smith's Johnny Marr's guitars sell for almost £4m at auction...100% of the hammer price of 31 lots... donated to two charities: The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and The National Autistic Society" What a top fella. Achieving national treasure status (if he wasn't already)

This is deeply disturbing and, obviously, not limited to the UK or to the media. Right-wing social (media) terror, amplified and justified by the far right and their enablers, is a structural problem for liberal democracy. It should be a political priority and addressed structurally.

Billy Wilder's birthday. I'll re-tell the story of why we have those movies. The Gestapo was after him. His neighbour tipped him as he came home one night; in 20 minutes he threw things into a bag, fled to Paris on the night train. He made a movie there, sold a story to Hollywood.

Most of the turnaround came via a crushing internal devaluation, with high unemployment reducing wages relative to the rest of the EU and making Greece more price competitive.

Elsewhere in his interview, McSweeney said he found Donald Trump "much funnier than I expected him to be".
He said that during his first phone call with Sir Keir, officials in the room had been "barely able to contain themselves" with a joke the US president made about foxes eating birds killed by "windmills" - his preferred term for wind turbines.
"He went on to say that as the foxes ate so many birds and became lazy, they became fat, and as they became so fat people no longer knew what kind of a creature they were," he added.
