Somewhere in Ireland, probably listening to music, walking the dog (that speck on the beach) or reading something. Or despairing, or daydreaming. On the route of the 19 bus.

I don’t look back on my teenage Morrissey fandom with much joy but I do remember being 15 and buying a record with a song calling for the Prime Minister to be guillotined and thinking “yeah fair enough”, it didn’t feel like some unwritten rule of rock star civility had been broken

This summer I will be supporting the Mongolian Olympic team because this is their uniform and it is a thousand times better than anything Nike has ever made.

I have this awesome game we can all take part in. The game is called “shut the fuck up when you’re at an acoustic set”

Red sky boding well for planned camping trip out west tomorrow. Maybe won't get pissed on after all this rain recently..

It’s unsustainable. Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian oil facilities have also been economically devastating. Russia can’t carry on like this which is why Putin is shifting focus to get puppets elected in western democracies so they can push for a peace deal that will save Russia. 2/2

Genuinely good news that Ed Miliband is back in the cabinet as Energy secretary. To his credit he’s one of the few British politicians who seems to take climate change seriously

“Honeymoon period”: that 5 minutes between becoming a Labour prime minister and someone shouting “why haven’t you solved [insert your, yes I know it’s important, issue - Gaza, Trans, Climate, EU, whatever] yet”. The NHS, housing and education are broken. Foodbanks overwhelmed. Focus people.

BBC is also reporting that eight current Conservative cabinet ministers will not only lose their cabinet seats but have also lost their parliamentary seats. This seems like such a stunning repudiation of the Conservative Party. You really do love to see it.

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.
