I like old music and I like new music. Some music I like is made by awful people and some music I hate is made by lovely people. I have various opinions and like and hate all sorts of stuff. I'm also capable of changing my mind about stuff. Try it.

Remember: visibility is resistance

Let's be absolutely clear what the Government's 'concessions' to the Welfare Bill mean: If you currently have a condition like Parkinsons or MS then you will get support to wash and cook for yourself. But someone diagnosed next year gets nothing. This is just utterly appalling.

MADchester!! Thank YOU for two incredible nights!!

Waiting for @sparksofficial.bsky.social to start.

I don't know how many people understand that disabled people are looking at losing £450 a month, every month, potentially for life. Money that pays for the help, aids, and adjustments that they need to exist in the world. There are disabled people who wouldn't survive these cuts.

Serious question. A friend of mine is very poorly and doesn’t have long left to live. Does anyone have the ability to put me in touch with Simon Pegg - yes that one - as I know she’d love to receive a message from him

Fixed that for you, BBC.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join. Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard” It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

England can be divided into two areas: Nottingham and Tingham

Thanks to Kenny and Katy @finishedzine.bsky.social for the cute little Dugga Doos which landed this morning.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

VIEWPOINT BBC News and the Art of Ruining TV for Everyone A masterclass in how to ruin TV for everyone. Seriously, what were they thinking?

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Narrator: They are not considering the offer.

The display in my local Asda makes it look like Stitch has gone full-on Jaws and is eating unwary bathers.

As it would be the birthday of #PeterCushing today, I feel obligated to tell this story of one of the nicest men in horror.

Relive the absolute joy of winning a Doctor Who Target book competition back in the old times with these colourful badges - just like the ones given away to your grandparents as consolation prizes. £3 for the set of two* (+ p&p) (* Remaindered Target book not included.) mademe.co.uk/product/vint...

The Telegraph goes full Onion.

Nice of Quillam from Vengeance on Varos to turn up. #Eurovision

The BF's verdict of the Swedish entry: "they're all puddled." #Eurovision

I got serious Barry Letts CSO vibes from that opening shot then. #Luxembourg

I just watched an orangutan tie a knot. You should see it too.

“So how did the care sector work before immigration?” Women did it. For free. Except now families can’t live well on one income and no one’s retiring at 55 on a fat pension, free to care for their parents, their husband’s parents, and their grandchildren. Undoing care-for-profit will be expensive

I've had this letter from Joe Maplin...he says, 'Alright you lot..'

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable
