We’ve spent years amplifying poetry that actually means something. Now, Southport has a space for it—#ThePoetryConjecture. No clichés, no compromise. Just words that cut through the noise. March 19th, 2025. Be part of it. 🔗 shorturl.at/TYbU7

for a while Musk really did seem like the most relatable billionaire. yeah, if i had that kind of money I'd want to go to space and make sports cars, etc. Turned out that was just PR, and what he really wanted out of life was to be seen as funny by teenaged Nazis on the Internet

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl set really seems to have made the worst people absolutely unravel. They didn’t just dislike it - which many people did, from all walks of life, and that’s fine - it really struck them in their souls. And some of them are still growling away. It’s fascinating.

This #BlackSabbath thing should have been done via ballot like Led Zep did in '07. In fact, the big shows should be done like that in general. It's random anyway, so the ballot at least means we're not spending an entire week of our lives staring at a queue number only to be unsuccessful

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

Just discovered that Liverpool pop sensations The Reynolds Girls, after publicly falling out with Stock Aitken and Waterman, self-released a 2nd self-written/self-produced single called 'Get Real' in which their parents remortgaged their homes to finance. It did not chart. 💀

My Google searches tho

Millennials to Gen Z

Genuinely can't believe Gen Z went fash on us. Millennials are objectively the best generation, and the most intelligent. Fash above us and fash below us. No wonder we're an anxiety ridden mess.

Benson Boone's music - which is basically like a sort of sub-emo Adele - hasn't remotely earned the David Lee Roth-like flamboyance he tries to perform with. Write an eccentric, full throttle banger about everybody wanting some that could be performed by a claymation burger, then we'll talk.

📢 BIG NEWS! 📢 Our founding editor @alanparry83.bsky.social is officially a bona fide writer! 🍏 #PeelingApples, his forthcoming novella from international press @darkwinterlitmag.bsky.social is raw, unforgettable, & proof of his literary craft. Huge achievement! #LiteraryFiction #CoverReveal

Hot take: For all the discourse, Beyonce has only deserved Album of The Year twice, and she was only proper robbed once.

I use wired headphones and I’m not changing.

#TheTraitors

Still blows my mind that Gary Barlow had the nerve to judge people's singing on X Factor. Like, dude, you're in a group with Mark Owen ffs. Go home.

Reckon this is what James Bond would have been like had Hugh Grant played him #TheTraitors

Claudia: Freddie and Alexander are coming. Yeah...looks like it #TheTraitors
