It’s been a tough reading year for me. I don’t know if it’s the books I’ve picked, or real life getting in the way, but every book has been a slog to get through. Hope this changes soon; preferably before 2027 and my next reading challenge. #reading #books

The argument that City’s trophies were won by the players on the pitch is exactly the point. They wouldn’t have been there if it weren’t for sham contracts inflating club revenue to the tune of £900m. #football #city #mancity #epl

Ghoul on BBC Politics Live... "Burnham thinks the state can make growth, it cant, its down to private business and entrepreneurs" This is the sort of right wing horseshit that is destroying the UK. The state can play a pivotal role in growth, essential even. How would she explain Chinese growth?

It’s funny. Whenever a left-wing, or in this case properly centre-left, party leader announces a policy, the questions from ‘centrist’ journalists always come down to cost. But when the Tories are giving billions to their mates for no-bid contracts, the financial scrutiny never seems to appear.

The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints using YouTube ads to target potential recruits by targeting their depression is very bleak indeed. I suspect Jesus wouldn’t approve. #religion #ldschurch #mormons #targetedads #youtubeads #religiousmarketing

I’m genuinely, earnestly and unironically looking forward to work training this week. Am I turning into a LinkedIn lunatic? #work #linkedin

Over the last year my listening’s shifted hard into shoegaze/nu‑gaze/grungegaze. Pop-punk, emo and nu-metal are ever-presents, but the reverb wall of sound has very much taken hold. It’s a vibe, and I’m feeling it. open.spotify.com/track/5918U5... #nugaze #grungegaze #shoegaze #alternative

Influencers, Instagrammers and - worst of all - LinkedIners LOVE to use words like ‘hustle’, ‘steal’ and ‘grind’. As if they’re some sort of edgy street gang, or involved in a heist caper, à la Ocean’s 11, when they’re just middle managers, trying to justify unpaid work. Properly gives me the ick.

Marketing/content production speak is so bleak. ‘Strategy’ ‘passive scrollers’ ‘growth’ ‘algorithm update’ ‘optimisation’. So soulless when you’re meant to be passionately covering art. #musicwriting #musicjournalism

The ‘hot take’ that the Madden brothers aren’t to blame and that the system is at fault really isn’t the one. They set up a company, sold it, remained on the board, and the board made the decision to gut the staff at the publications concerned. They’re literally avatars for the system.

As a Good Charlotte fan and an independent music writer‑photographer, I’m beyond furious at the Madden brothers’ decision to gut Alternative Press, BrooklynVegan and Revolver, and lay off most of the staff. #musicjournalism #alternativepress #brooklynvegan #revolver #goodcharlotte #maddenbrothers

Took whole milk for my coffee because a former head of department offered it. Wild that the old ‘yes‑man’ reflex still fires two years after leaving that toxic team.

Summerslam night one was the best WWE PPV/PLE for a LONG time. Michael Cole shouting out Tazz was the icing on the cake. Superb stuff, WWE! #wwe #summerslam #summerslam2026 #wrestling #prowrestling

The past week was Unison AQA’s longest strike action, and the first taken by Unite AQA. The feeling across AQA is clear: workers deserve pay that keeps them secure. Together we are winning. Solidarity. #strike #workersrights #solidarity #fairpay #readytostrike

The people of Clacton have the chance to do something hilarious. The Greens need to stand down now. In the serious sense that standing would legitimise Farage’s grandstanding. In the not-so-serious sense that they’d split the Binface vote. #britishpolitics #reformuk #nigelfarage

Anyway, enough about that bloody wasteman. Off to this show tonight. A show featuring nu metal, hardcore and grunge/grungegaze. I love the outbreakification of alternative music! #grunge #grungegaze #hardcore #ukhardcore #numetal #alt #alternative #alternativerock #outbreak #livemusic

Ah, so he’s resigning in the hope that the investigation into the £5m will go away. It won’t. It’s not the people versus the establishment, Nige. It’s you versus your own dodgy dealings. #britishpolitics #reformuk #nigelfarage

So far, Labour, the police and The Sunday Times are responsible for the consequences of Farage’s actions. #britishpolitics #reformuk #nigelfarage

‘Farage says he is the most attacked politician in Britain.’ The families of Jo Cox and David Amess would like a word. #britishpolitics #reformuk #nigelfarage

‘Farage says he is facing new investigation as result of Sunday Times report about George Cottrell donations’ Farage is facing investigation because of his own behaviour. #britishpolitics #reformuk #nigelfarage

Very excited for this. Can’t say I’d heard of the majority of the acts announced today, but having sampled them, they sound amazing. Not much hardcore, but a lot of heavy, gazey alt rock and metal. That’ll suit me down to ground! #outbreak #outbreakfest2026 #outbreakfestival #outbreakfestival2026

Next to an ex‑colleague who used to grass me up for toilet breaks. They’re still checking my screen - work they have nothing to do with, and couldn’t influence even if they tried. Turns out the problem wasn’t me. #workplacepolitics
