I know she's contentious but it's amazing the amount of stuff people make up about a woman who has been openly funding just this for practically her entire life after success. The temptation to lie about your ideological enemies needs to be resisted. It's still harmful even if it's for the cause.

It’s that time again. It was @simonmayo.bsky.social who nearly thirty years ago first alerted us all to the scabrous parodic genius of the late Bob Rivers.
Playing his stuff on air now would probably result in instant dismissal.

I had this Tandy catalogue. Their stuff was so wildly overpriced and so, so shite.

Rick Beato’s YouTube channel is rapidly becoming required watching for folk of a certain age and musical persuasion. His long-form chats with his fellow musicians are so good.
Stewart Copeland as well as being an extraordinary drummer is one of my favourite podcast guests. He never misses

This is bloated for a social media post but fairly concise if you need a passage to explain to someone how to read between the lines of an unreliable narrator.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The main fact that stuck with me after writing a book about British Xmases is that The Times was complaining about decorations going up in October back in the *1930s*, Selfridges has had decorations up in Oct since at least the 1950s and the whole “earlier every year” thing is generally bollocks
Middle class people love to pretend to be appalled at Christmas decorations being either early or fun to look at, the ideal Christmas tree is put up at midnight on Christmas day and decorated only by a black cloak and an unlit matchstick

I saw mummy nosh off Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She gave him such a grin
As she wiped off her chin
I bet she only did it because she’d been on the gin

Paul Anka, thanks so much for agreeing to do a rare interview. No one has seen or heard from you in at least 40 years. I know you're a busy man so I'll just get right to the burning question that the world has been dying to know the answer to: What was Frank Sinatra's penis like?

Ian Marchant has been claimed by prostate cancer. I very much enjoyed his writing but found him to be an odd and rather self-contradictory individual who harboured some very strange beliefs. thetimes.com/article/e7272b…

Only problem being that Bernard Manning never appeared on the BBC, Nige. He was on Parkinson once where he was questioned about the overt racism in his act, though.
And a pound to a pinch of shite says when Manning was on ITV, Farage was laughing at the jokes.
