This week's newsletter on Sir Jim's Big tent. A legacy project or a corporate folly? open.substack.com/pub/nqatpod/...

A good friend, a queer working class woman, is having to take a step back from theatre directing to try and find more secure full time work. The arts is dying.

Think the main thing I dislike about this plan is how it imposes itself on the area. It’s not a football club that is a part of the community, but one which dominates it.

the premier league big six have run a business model of sucking life out of the rest of the english football pyramid. they're the last clubs that should receive a penny of public money. spend it on lower league and non-league teams.

Shut up fash

I have to use Facebook for work and pages just *do not work*? Tried to create an event and it decided it's in Ireland then created 24 instances of it and won't let me edit them.

Might get myself a fancy beer and keep it in the fridge for when It Happens

Have only grown more disgusted by the plans for Old Trafford as the day goes by.

[New York City, USA]

Man United want to build a new mega stadium and my club can't afford to get out of renting the local rugby club's ground and build something modest for our own sustainability

Shit, late again, it’s already cuckoo past nightingale

A completely ridiculous and unrealistic image, even of modern day football. Seriously, implying United are 3-0 up right now.

We rescued Luna when she was at least a year old, so have no pics, but suspect she looked a lot like this 🥹

it’s not about “getting disabled people into work”. it’s about ensuring people deemed surplus to requirements – i.e. those unable to generate profit for private companies – are cut off from subsistence support, scapegoated as a burden on society, and ultimately killed. it’s sick

NEW SHOW ⚡ Biting Point by Sid Sagar is a brand-new play about road rage, performed on top of a car park with views across Hull. See it in the Fruit Market from 10-18 May: bit.ly/3Dl592z

Say what you will about this place, but at least it doesn’t have Novara.

Rewatching Frasier and the constant gambling adverts are driving me insane.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Once again shitting on the women’s team

Jim Ratcliffe can fuck off and United players should go on strike.

It's MABLETHORPE, with a B

Curious to see if he also has Playmobil hands.

Don’t mean to brag but I am BLOWING UP on Facebook

That's how dark ages are made, baby.

New cover of next United We Stand mag.

Old white guy at the corner shop buying milk, telling me he’s “enslaved” by his wife and that Wilberforce did nothing for husbands.

Finally, my MP will be banged up in no time. *laughs like Ace Ventura*

UFC, CrossFit, Hyrox, all give me *vibes*

Enquiring about chips

I grew up around disability as my Dad is disabled, a polio survivor and wheelchair user. Now I myself am disabled - progressive multiple sclerosis. It's the reason I don't remember the first few years of New Labour the way some of my generation do. They were talking about 'scroungers'...

boiler room doing palestine merch when their parent company regularly invests in the genocide is peak artwashing

Just as Mussolini used the 1934 World Cup in Italy as propaganda for fascism…

This is so desperately sad. Get to know your neighbours, we all need each other.

This is austerity 2.0 But this time the government pushing through legislation for assisted dying with minimal safeguards. Please tell me how this isn’t eugenics?

Absolutely wild* that one half of Bill and Ted of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure is doing more to fight the Trump administration than basically the entire Democratic establishment.
