G7 On The Orient Express

Every so often I remember one of the earliest displays of Musk’s censorious nature was getting the Italian Elon Musk account nuked from Twitter. (“Ayyyy, I make-a da rockets!” etc)

We absolutely cannot let James Watt achieve his ambition of becoming a serious media figure. If he wants to carry on making pineapple flavoured beer, he’s very welcome to. Anything and everything else needs to be immediately checked and throttled at the root.

my neck, my back, “my sharona” by the knack

Balenciaga has a very strong brand identity. Whenever I see someone wearing the most hideous outfit imaginable I think "oh I wonder if that's Balenciaga".

I’ve just booked in to give blood tomorrow afternoon. If you can, you should. (Tuc crackers. Seabrook crisps. Lemon squash.)

No one doing it like @garbageday.email right now. The venom. The concision.

Youngest (9) walks around singing I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys under her breath all the time. I asked her about it just now and she turned to me angrily and said “It’s stuck in my head, ok? It’s been stuck in my head since I was FIVE YEARS OLD!”

If Musk ever does make it to Mars, this is how he’ll achieve it…

Feels like a lifetime ago when the spiciest the Regretful Gesture news cycle got was Paul Ryan attempting to dab…

Putting aside the astonishing idea that the President Elect has just launched what appears to be a competing currency to the US dollar for just a tick - that graphic has a certain Elon look to it, no?

This is just about my favourite cartoon ever and I think of it all the time. But the awesome @daveyjones.bsky.social could make it even better by replacing the now almost forgotten Sting with maybe a space enthusiast we'd all line up to send off

Morning.

RIP David Lynch

Fascinating article in here on the composition and creation of the Duck Tales theme tune

Peter Thiel had been doing such a good* job of flying under the radar, exerting heavy influence without drawing much attention or public scrutiny. But clearly the ongoing Dickhead Parade were being treated to has caused him to feel as though he’s missing out on something.

Of all the embarrassing things Liz Truss has done and continues to do - trying to make “The Blob” happen is really jostling for a podium position

Not sending anyone any cease and desist letters over claims that she wears a day collar, I note...

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Also: those who do. We tend to go pretty big on the ol’ doom motif here.

Nostalgic for the time when the biggest dickhead I was aware of was a guy who did Bo Selecta impressions every five minutes.

this is funny as-is but imo way funnier when you see his lawyer

2024 has been a vintage year for the Hayley Campbell profile. Rounding it out with this - on Danny Dyer’s horny Monty Don era - is perfection.

Can’t believe it’s like a month since I had to explain to Danny Dyer why women were wanking over him in Rivals it still freaks my nut out to this day. For British GQ: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/dann...

Want to spend your leisure time tangled in unending debate about site protocol? Enjoy barking instructions at other users on how they can and can’t use the platform? Then maybe a career in Wikipedia editing is for you.

Enjoyably ambiguous sentence in Bryan Ferry’s Wikipedia entry

Ernie Watts, I think, with Jerry Hey’s Seawind Horns. Those guys, along with EWF, practically invented what being a horn section *is*. I think the fact the producer was a trumpeter can’t have hurt.

If I remember correctly, the fallout from this legendary Quincy Jones interview also revealed that his daughters’ nickname for him was LL QJ (like LL Cool J, but standing for “Loose Lips Quincy Jones”)
