You know what? I'm going to do a thread of music. Any time a song pops into my head, I'll post it here. Any genre, any era, any language, if I like it, I'll skeet it.
Let's start with something positive and uplifting. Vienna Teng feels like the most Bluesky musician out there. youtu.be/U4n_8R5lKnw

Rebooting this thread, because I just got an MP3 player for swimming, and my MP3 collection biases heavily towards pre-streaming music. Let's see how well my teenage music taste holds up!
I think the main message is that Corbyn already led a fractious, argumentative party for 4 years - and one that was much larger with far more entrenched power bases - and he's apparently taken no lessons from that? No hints how to win an internal party fight?

‘We had six MPs and four factions’: inside Your Party’s toxic power struggles
Some say Jeremy Corbyn is too non-committal for project to work, while others blame Zarah Sultana’s combative nature

Remarkable how the gambling industry and its allied MPs always yell that if you tax gambling you’re out of touch with the ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap who loves a flutter.
Actual ordinary, salt-of-the-earth working class chap: Tax it! Tax it more! Keep on taxing it, you bastards!

Fascinating that the cash ISA limit is the most unpopular item in the budget. I would have thought it would be unpopular but not more so than e.g. freezing tax thresholds.

I'm going to train an AI to stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation, thousands of times faster than a human can. We can completely take humans out of the standing in authentic wonder before the beauty of God's creation loop by 2027.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Get the Coen Brothers back together and force them to remake Red Zone Cuba
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Kind of bleakly funny that they don't name any actual DEFRA ministers. Yeah, the Foreign Secretary, a former Deputy Leader who resigned two months ago, and a random backbencher, they're the ones who really set agricultural policy
I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Zach Braff turned into Troy McClure so slowly I didn't even notice
I’m aware of the, uh…old expression, but Donald Faison truly looks as though at the end of the last episode of the original Scrubs run in 2009 he fell into a wormhole to the present day

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books, now, will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say "The OBR released a budget analysis 25 minutes early". Everything else will be a footnote.

The party line split on aliens is NOT what I expected at all. Was Trump making publishing UFO files a weirdly big part of his campaign actually his idea of a push for voters across the aisle?
