Journos need to always challenge the right-wing framing of "antifa" being a specific organisation that can be banned or restricted. Just straight up be like "but that's nonsense, it doesn't exist" every time

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

I am cackling. Tesla owners are reacting to the fact that ads are being pushed inside the car now as part of an “update”

I like how the cover art makes it look like a compilation CD that you can only buy in Lidl.

'Richard Ashcroft is as much the Scott Walker of Britpop as David Baddiel is the Spike Milligan of comedy is the new rock ‘n’ roll. You’d think someone who is a million different people from one day to the next would have more than a couple of ideas'

One thing I really hate is how ticket prices are no longer announced before they go on sale, so you've got to decide what you can afford against a ticking clock.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

2: ' On Her Majesty's Secret Service' - John Barry

John Barry takes no prisoners. Brass and strings and synths and guitars and drums all working together to beautiful perfection. The Aston Martin DB5 of Bond themes.

My favourite Bond film.
