An outstanding team goal to get us off the mark last night #DRFC

@BoylanRoger A teenage Robert Plant approached his hero Little Walter at the urinal; “Fuck off kid, I’m having a piss.”

Jorge Luis Borges, otherwise engaged.

Russia and the U.S. have proposed a three-step peace plan, which includes a ceasefire, elections in Ukraine, and the signing of a final agreement. Why is russia pushing for elections in Ukraine? 1/n

We've won it! Harry Clifton nets the decisive spot kick and we are in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup 1-1 after extra time. 5-4 on penalties BOOM! 🔴 #drfc ⚪️

145 YEARS AGO — At around 7 a.m. on 10 Jan 1880, the first of 10,000 mourners & curiosity seekers began to make their way to 16 O'Farrell Street, SF, where Emperor Norton was lying in state in a back room of the City and County Morgue. Where that was: EmperorNortonTrust.org/blog/2021/4/7/…

@tony_robbo Much funnier than I ever expected, halfway through book 5, only the last volume to go…

Just arrived. I’m no spring chicken but I guess it’s never too late to have ambitions?

Who or what is 'The Badenoch'? IT'S PRIVATE EYE WEEK! New edition in shops and with subscribers from Wednesday.

@fenlandgent I also jumped on stage dressed as The King at an Underworld gig at the Astoria, just as Carl Hyde sang “I see Elvis…”

@fenlandgent I waged a ten year war with Camden Council who kept on painting over my ELVIS graffito painted on the pavement outside my pad in Goodge St. My chum in Australia saw it on Google maps. ELVIS visible from space. I was arrested only the once…TCB.

Yesterday, listening to Radio 2, while driving south, somewhere between Luton & Junction 6a, DJ Vernon Kay played Suspicious Minds which he introduced by saying ‘And now, The King’. A righteous thing to do. Made me happy.

Jorge Luis Borges in Sicily, 1985.

@discodejenerate @IanDunt Paddington too. Once a train left on time but with no passengers as we hadn’t been told which platform to manically sprint to…

@IanDunt Excellent! Maybe he can also sort out the shambolic system at Euston where they don’t announce which platform your train will be going from until a couple of minutes before the train leaves, therefore causing a stampede of people. Now *that’s* a disaster waiting to happen!

Oh my actual God

@paulwall1970 Think Noel Redding was a lead guitarist, as was Bruce Foxton. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Jam, & Motörhead. All bass players who played like a lead. Also my fave bands…

@MarMusto @kmflett @jacobin Heard word that Marx did in the windows of the Museum Tavern after being frustrated at the progress of “This shit.” *citation needed*

Today is the 157th anniversary of Marx's Capital and @jacobin published my article "Why Karl Marx Kept Reworking Capital, Volume I"👇 jacobin.com/2024/09/marx-e…
