Can't sing, they ain't pretty, but the songs I write keep me sane. Still trying to work out what's going on. 'Tis love, & kindness, makes the world go round. matthew18.bandcamp.com

Trump’s Gaza Triumph

The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1660 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The front cover headline reads “Trump’s Gaza Triumph” and features a photo of Donald Trump with multiple speech bubbles saying “You’ve got to hand it to me,” “What, all of it?”, “The only people making a bomb from now on will be my family,” “Anyone want a peace of the action?”, “In God we Trump!” and “Halo to the Chief!” A banner at the bottom reads “Late news: World apologises ‘He’s not a naughty boy, he’s the Messiah.’”

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

Three years ago today, i released my first album. Nearly all the songs were written during the pandemic and produced in a little corner of my basement. We are gearing up to record the followup with the full band. The time it has taken to fully bring this next batch of songs to life has been worth it

Best get on the phone to that Eminem geezer then. Mike will have his number somewhere, no doubt.

Stress isn't a good thing.

Get @grim17again.bsky.social to have a go, he'll turn his hand to anything.....probably.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

DSIT understood that the key to the uptake of digital ID was trust. Labelling it as a tool to find cheats and evaders destroys that trust.

Might be a good time to get into the sack-making business.

Keep on rapping. Who cares as long as you're enjoying it?

I thought that Eminem one was a bit rubbish but people loved it, so you might be onto a winner.

I'm not so sure, Margaret Atwood may be a very cool person.

You could go head to head with Otto English, that'd be fun.
