@talkSPORT I won't be the first to recall Gordon's famous "wooden bowtie" today. Baker and Kelly's football phone-in was joyous, sidestepping tedious complaints about refs, owners and dodgy offside calls to pursue the pure and beautiful whimsy of sport. God bless. https://t.co/yWBs3pGHNK
@Sargon_of_Akkad Not to show off or anything, but I hated the bastard when he published his "Booky Wook". Being twee and camp and sesquipedalian was obviously part of a strategy, though that's easy for me to say, having never been forced to deal with him in real time.
Hamas released a video showing them digging up Gaza’s water pipes and electricity lines—to turn them into rockets.
If you’re upset about Gaza’s lack of a sewage system, direct your outrage where it belongs: at Hamas.

Pound shop Glazers,
You're just pound shop Glazers

Leveraged buyouts are an absolute scandal.
@JeanHatchet I find it amazing how multitudes of fame-hungry celebs like Vanessa Feltz and Jonathan Ross were so delighted to bask in the glow of Brand's charisma. We really need to scrutinise our vulnerability to the transgressive aura of moral reprobates.
@ukJ0N Russell Brand was dangerously good at populist political demagoguery. He had the instinct to push all the right buttons. It was probably the same instinct that enabled him to exploit so many vulnerable women.
@louistheroux I was feeling a bit under the weather today and came across your long chat with John Cooper Clarke. I can only describe it as tantric, one stimulating Mancunian aperçu and rhyming couplet after another, raising my mood to a state of utter glee. Thanks Louis and thanks JCC.
@DavidTaylor85 Frankly, I'm glad it is still possible to be a pro-Israel, pro-secular, anti-sectarian left-leaning liberal politician in these crazy times.
Welcome news. I hope voters in these authorities remember that given the choice between serving their needs or standing behind an antisemitic policy, the Greens chose the latter. Shame on them.
@philhaigh_ The frame when Maguire creates that great angle on the blue to smash into the pack of reds on his way to a century felt so beautifully old school. I love Wu Yize but it was great to see the old Scottish bruiser winning again.
This tiny RED dot is Israel, surrounded by Muslim countries.
They want you to believe that the tiny RED dot is the oppressor and colonizer, and that the GREEN Muslim countries surrounding it are the oppressed.
Sheer lunacy.
@dasvee@peterjukes@helenlewis@carolecadwalla It hasn't been deleted. They removed a clip from the podcast on social media out of respect after Arday's death, but the episode is still fully available.
As regular follows will be aware, I have completely quit X and am only using it occasionally (3-4 hundred times a day to post about how I no longer use it. Any queries, please DM. I'm available here 24/7.
@Quora is a quintessential example of the concept of enshittification. It even makes it impossibly difficult to delete one's account to escape from the avalanche of email drivel it churns out day after day.
Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace 🙏
