Here's a lovely thing - a brand new live album from ex Kitchens of Distinction/Stephen Hero luminary Patrick Fitzgerald (@kitchensod.bsky.social on here), with songs from across his 1989-2025 back catalogue in joyous new form.

It really is. The lyric is like a short story, full of perfect little details - very moving, but never sentimental or mawkish.
A brilliant piece of work in every way. That guitar tone is one of the best on record, too.
I had a man* called Samson Ultimate offer to bring my books to the attention of millions of readers. I was tempted to go with it, just for his name alone.

The US is fucking up so badly in Iran I'm beginning to think they've brought in Morgan McSweeney for strategy tips.
Might be time to give the Cherry Red extended βC86β a spinβ¦
Itβs so good, isnβt it?
Have you read Nigeβs βWhatever Happened to the C86 Kids?β Also fantastic!

Happy birthday!
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
This boy seems a little ... animated. Did he have too much fizzy pop before going on TV?
Danger: Political genius at work.
Here she is in 2026! This neatly bobbed, elegantly coutured lady in her 60s, steps forward in the manner of someone who might just as easily address an international conference held to improve the efficacy of PPE rollouts in future pandemics. And then she sings: βItβs a fine day/People open windowsβ
So, basically, he thinks thousands of South Asian women were going to vote for the guy who wants to deport them, but were forced by their husbands to vote for the woman who doesn't want to deport them instead?
Presumably this will be a persuasive argument for his target audience of gullible idiots.
Operation Epic Failβs going well, then.
Even Nell the Chihuahua is (mostly) nice to her.
Sweetest girl ever. :)
I don't think they've noticed that all the toys have gravitated to Evie's bed.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"
1 March 72 St David's Day and they're all going to school in Wales bearing daffodils and leeks and there will be singing in the Assembly Hall and competitions and a great many will get drunk tonight except me of course.

Theyβll be eaten before the camera can even focus.
Might have to track some down nowβ¦. :)
(Have fun with Des and Poppy!)

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."
Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. Itβs great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.
Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.
Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! Heβs already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.
