A delicious feast of riches from @iandunt.bsky.social substack today, and finally, finally we get to discuss the bruised, leathery hide of White House loon Robert Kennedy Jr - the veritable wooden skin of death's door itself: a treat.

Simply a great review of a simply great rock band at the top of their game in the greatest venue. As a teen I had this on cassette & suffered immense gloom when the inevitable happened & the tape spooled out in knots from overplaying. thanks @quantick.bsky.social for the denim clad memories

Bold and positive and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social has presented her case compellingly today, drawing on lived experience - a sobering interview on Radio 4 that was devoid of the usual combative BS and respected the subject matter, so a rare round of applause from me for that, too

What a gloriously graceful and noble creature, and classy, too: only gobbling what he needed to. Love the cool reverse, too. Elephantine moonwalk...

What the world needs now is much more @johnshuttleworth.bsky.social . Lovely to play him in @gallovidiabooks.bsky.social and vibe to the chimes of the cash register as customers mellow into his songs and stories and loosen their purse strings in freshly found agreeable happiness ...

Trump trashed Thomas Massie on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Trump trashed Rand Paul on Truth Social after he opposed his budget bill. Elon Musk just opposed his budget bill.

One day politicians will have to treat the public like grown ups and force them to grapple with reality. Until then, this is the trap we are stuck in.

I 100% believe the UK doesn't understand paying more tax guarantees better public services - it's now a dirty word, weaponised by the press against the hard of thinking. Most people would prefer to live in a world of 'pure imagination' where entertainers promise easy solutions to complex problems

In accordance with Kate, this is an utterly terrible idea. Considering AI can presumably achieve what humans cannot, business is making a good fist of using it where humans would actually work better.

Lovely interview with Tom Robinson on 6 just now: entertaining, witty and wise. Nick Grimshaw is doing a fine job getting the best out of guests in this slot.

I love a bit of Elbow but last night realized if you listen to Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill' quickly merged with Talk Talk's 'I Believe In You' you have pretty much covered Elbow's entire, and not displeasing oeuvre within a mere ten minutes...

Another caustic laser beam of a post from @jefftiedrich.bsky.social that skewers the rancid walking, talking personality disorder wrapped in that weird, pallid muslin skin that is Elon Musk - Jeff on top form again, easing our gaskets of loathing for these people.

This is why your reposts matter. It’s really hard to reach people. So many people are working hard behind the scenes helping to make this happen on a completely voluntary basis. Last year’s was truly joyous.

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

More of the good stuff from @iandunt.bsky.social here regarding Trump's (and others who should know better) loathing of the potential, both personal and academic, universities can unleash in individuals. 'Why do populist authoritarians attack universities? Because they are guarantors of liberty'.

What a simply joyous live session this is from Pulp on 6 Music. Jarvis in roaring voice. Do tune in if you can - a charming, agreeable interview, too. The day has begun in fine fettle....

Striking how on the far right you have Trump fans, Musk fans, Boris fans, 'Tommy' fans, Farage fans etc . Fans of one person, held to high status, in isolation. Elsewhere and excluding the far left, you're more likely to support a whole party, an ethos, a particular position, or ideas or policies.

In Sanskrit, Musk or muska, is defined as 'testicle' so there's always that....
