Never understood ‘It’s Friday it’s 7:30 it’s still number one’ intro - what’s number one? You haven’t told us yet!? Or is #totp the number one being referred to? There were literally no other music shows

Spent weeks preparing a 10,000 word submission for a prize run by a publisher I really admire. Chased a few times to see when I might hear back, no reply. They just announced the shortlist and I didn't get on it. Rejection is part of the game I suppose but a blooming email would've been nice.

Why is Kyiie trying to sound like Garbage? #totp

🎈 Happy 25th birthday to Tate Modern! Designed by Herzog de Meuron and opened on this day by Her Majesty the Queen, May 11 2000. But did you know that C20 Society played a crucial role in creating this cathedral of contemporary art? Here’s the story: c20society.org.uk/40-buildings...

Group chats with 70k men sharing tips on how to rape women, 1% rape conviction rates, sex offending coppers and a president found liable of SA are the real threats to women. A tiny minority just trying to live their lives, are not. Don’t fall for a far right con job. youtu.be/oojg7g_hn-Q?...

The trans discourse is really depressing me. Why are so few on the left standing up or at least offering some nuance? Giving up on The Guardian and the Labour Party just feels performative I don’t know what else to do.

Hot dog, crucified frog, Giacometti #easter

For anyone who went through the “Theory Wars” of the 1990s, Marcus Campbell art book store (opposite Tate Modern) have stack of Third Text journal for £1 each. #niche

I went to do some work at the Warburg today - interesting to hear the librarians having a discussion about how best to make use of the reworked stacks whilst staying true to the brilliantly odd logic of Warburg's plan

I worked at Virgin megastore at this time and I just remember endlessly unpacking and shelving boxes and boxes of CD singles of Candle in the Wind ‘97 #totp

I hated that Chumbawumba song- in part because of its ubiquity but mainly because they looked the people who ran the student union despite graduating 10 years ago

Bobs Burgers win the prize for the best made up boy band name - ‘Boyz 4 Now’ #totp

I always imagine The Sundays as utter recluses so odd to find out they actually did #totp

This is a great article, and it's a shame the recent BBC doc on Twitter (which was otherwise good) didn't cover more of these shenanigans..

Just saw them at the ICA what an amazing band
