With the possible exception of the recorder, something you will never hear is "I'm so glad I stopped practicing (insert musical instrument of choice) when I was younger." Learning to play makes everything better.

It's often the case that when beloved celebrities die, eventually a trickle of stories begin to appear about how they were actually quite mean, difficult or diva-ish in private. I really cant imagine that being true of Dolly Parton.

Top panel is tiny planet Mercury in relation to the HUGE Sun.
Bottom panel is a similar image, a tiny "close ad" button in relation to the fingertip labeled "my finger" which fills nearly the entire panel.

wasn't sure it was possible for a PM to be more disappointing more quickly than Keir Starmer, but congratulations to Andy Burnham. You've done it! @andy-burnham.bsky.social

I don't generally have a lot of great things to say about Argentina, but thanks so much for preventing me having to hear Wonderwall again for a while. Also, I've drawn yous in the pub sweepstake...

What is the point of Andy Burnham? What a snivelling, grifting shill for all that's rotten in this world. Anyone who craves power this much should never be entrusted with it. I would be delighted to be proven wrong, but I'd bet my house on being right.

The "left" of the Labour Party being excited about the prospect of Andy Burnham is truly pitiful. A guy who helped privatise the NHS and with links to the right wing zionist outfit "friends of Israel." Any left leaning progressives are not in the Labour Party. They're elsewhere.

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul -

Huge congratulations to the Greens on their win in Gorton and Denton. They didn't just squeak through, this was a really convincing victory. The appetite for progressive left wing policies is huge. Time to end the Lab/Con/Ref clown show. SNP take note.

Living in a community and watching its cultural and economic decline in real time is a hard thing. Most people usually think of this as an urban problem. This explains it very well. Also, pubs are important! share.google/E50v2Z0NVIRw...

When i was younger, I remember myths about "snuff films." Some people, apparently, had real footage of people being murdered that, if you knew the right people, you could buy via mysterious black market sources.

I have this little fantasy that somewhere amongst the US military and security services there a few senior staff with spines and a degree of intelligence. They call a meeting with their boss and say "there, there, Mr President," as one of them sinks a needle into his saggy neck... #Trump

The Thing about horrendous, sociopathic narcissists is that they obviously dont give a fuck about anyone else. When this shit show comes to its conclusion, the tearing apart of each others reputations, the mud slinging and blame is going to be brutal. And hilarious.

Not quite sure why the media is presenting the Caerphilly result as a disaster for Labour, rather than as a perfect execution of its electoral strategy. That strategy for *months* now has been to tell everybody who might otherwise be inclined to vote for them to fuck off. And off they have fucked.
