You think you can't possibly revere @greenpartyhan.bsky.social any more highly and then she posts about buying a chunky knit cardigan in Sheffield AND soundtracks it with the Go! Team 🤯💚🤩 www.instagram.com/p/DZiBjVeih0...

It's been a while since anyone shared the most unintentionally hilarious band photo ever taken, so please enjoy this classic image of Razorlight looking like 24-carat bellends.

The members of Razorlight are dressed in a kind of country gothic style; there's a lot of black and unnecessary scarves, with an especially preposterous broad-rimmed hat and an Olympic-standard gormless expression

Fastest block I've ever received! Why do poets publish in the far-right Spectator, and why is this poet so reluctant to discuss it?

A post from Peter Devonald about having a poem published in the Spectator

A post from me in reply to Peter. I'm quoting Rishi Dastidar's post about a Spectator piece by Simon Heffer saying "it's time to uncancel Enoch Powell".

My post says "Hi Peter. Genuinely curious about the relationship between poets, poetry and the Spectator. Are you OK with your work appearing alongside stuff like this?"

It's two minutes later and Peter Devonald has blocked me.

The bus stop is saying No Forthcoming Departures

Of all the kinds of places to use a shit genAI image, why would an art and craft centre ffs And why would I buy art or craft from here if I can't trust that it's human-created

UK local media: we don't need subeditors any more Also UK local media:

Screengrab from the Grimsby Telegraph website - text reads as follows:

"The 29-year-old joined fellow defenders Doug Tharme and Cameron McJannet, as well as winger Charles Vernam, in extending his Mariners deal this season, as head coach David Artell, who he wants in his squad beyond this term."

BBC Sport there, demonstrating the importance of a snappy opening which really grabs the reader

Screengrab from a BBC Sport piece which opens "The unintended consequence of exiting both domestic cup competitions at the earliest possible stage and ending up with the smallest season games-wise since 1914-15 is that the remainder of Manchester United's campaign is divided into blocks before a longer than usual spell without a game."

It's quite a long title but I'm really enjoying the new @thejustjoans.bsky.social album
