Well, @nationoflanguage.bsky.social were incredible at The Roundhouse last night. Four great albums, and the live versions, with extra energy and power, might be even better.

Just finished ConspiracyLand by @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social - examining how and why conspiracies spread, showing compassion for those caught up in them, and exposing the algorithms that allow them to take hold. An important book.

Well, I’ve just spent nearly 400 pounds to see four elderly Germans stare at their laptops for a couple of hours. How’s your day going?

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Every word of this. I was outside Waterloo in the evening and in among the middle-aged people in Union Jack jumpers making their way home after a lovely racist day out were groups of emboldened young white men draped in flags, roaming the streets. Not my London.

Keep thinking of arguments for why it would be completely insane to dump a prime minister with a huge majority just 14 months in, and also about how if he's not going to say a single word in opposition to the kind of shit we saw today then I no longer feel convinced by any of those arguments.

Mary Floppins has thrown a shit fit. Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys – and girls – a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. Hailed 'a rising star and quadruple threat' (ArtsReview.com.au), Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning and deep cleaning to present a skanky and empowering Edinburgh Fringe debut. Best Newcomer Award Winner (Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025). Take A Chance On Adelaide Award Winner (Adelaide Fringe 2025). **** (Chortle.co.uk).

I’ve read loads of Bowie books but picked up Bowie Odyssey 71 by Simon Goddard as it covers the making of my favourite album of his. It’s wonderful, full of colour and context, almost a novelisation of a chapter of his life. I’ll be buying the rest.

Bowie Odyssey 71 a book by Simon Goddard.
Britain, 1971. Strange land of hot pants, moral outrage, anarchist bombs and sexual revolution. As Marc Bolan is hailed as the nation's teenage saviour, the forgotten hope called David Bowie searches ...
