Can't recommend Carmen Consoli highly enough. Intelligent and well-crafted songs. Picked this up for €3 last weekend in a flea market in Bologna. 22 years old and still marvellous.

This is grim - but sadly not a one-off. After whipping up a fury re: Oldham grooming inquiry, I'm aware that staff at Oldham Council are also being harrassed - not just online & by email, but in person too. Musk & his ilk are a dangerous cancer on humanity. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Forest all over. This time at Stadio Renato dall'Ara, for Bologna 2 v 2 AS Roma.

This is a superb piece of writing and analysis by @stephenkb.bsky.social in which he takes apart Tory opportunism and pandering to Elon Musk over the grooming gangs and compares it to Farage’s consistent red line on Tommy Robinson. Compulsory reading.

We are so often reminded that the table doesn't lie. Usually it's to make the point that teams fighting relegation are consistently not quite good enough. This year, in an incredible reversal, #nffc can say, with confidence, "the table doesn't lie". What a season, what a team, what a manager. COYR

I assume I'm not alone after each match in still checking how many points we are above the bottom three. I'm no longer sure why I'm doing it, given how things are turning out. #nffc #remarkable
