He works in education. He's far too invested in comics and games. He's based in the North East of England. He bought a whistle from a crooked merchant, BUT THE WHISTLE MAY BE MAGIC.

It's a little-known fact that Nancy Sinatra initially trained as a cobbler and her most famous client was the star of The Deer Hunter, The Dead Zone and King Of New York. She even sang a song about it.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

You can’t understand the story of rock music without following the main and side plots together. For example, I don’t even WANT to know about Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart without the proper context of the accompanying episodes on the GTOs and The Banana Splits. That’s how good this is.

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...
We're talking about actual bigotry and the belief that this group of people shouldn't have, like, the same human rights as another group. It legitimizes them. And so the WNBA is a big platform for them to be able to do that. But I think what's actually really insidious about being the target is that transphobia is rooted in white supremacist ideas of who is allowed to be a woman and what a woman should look like. Those beliefs have, you know, negatively impacted Black and brown and non-Western women throughout history.

So what you have is a league in the WNBA that is full of Black women, 7-foot-tall women, masculine women, women who don't fit kind of the traditional markers of conventional white Western ideas of womanhood. And so I don't think it's surprising that transphobic ideas around the acceptable kind of woman are coming and impacting this league.

And I think the last piece that I will say is, I think, in some ways, the lack of visibility that the league had for a lot of years really protected it. Like, it wasn't as successful as it should have been because of racism and homophobia and misogyny. And once it becomes successful, the flip side of that is it really does become a different kind of victim of those ideas. And the fact that you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo. And so it's not just about protecting women's sports. It's actually about dismantling them from the inside.

@gralefrit.bsky.social the audio book of BE FUNNY OR DIE got me thru the Great North Run today, it's excellent - thanks for writing it. Although early doors you mention thinking about walking makes it impossible to walk, which wasn't a hurdle I was expecting.

I've only put The Parkinsons because it was an insane gig in a tiny sweatbox upstairs bar where the singer climbed on my shoulders and did a couple of songs from up there. Very exciting Portuguese punk teenagers. I hope they're not bad news now.
