NoCsiouS (Ho/Hum)

@PaulYoungParlez Featuring the only cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart which does the song justice.

43 years of No Parlez! 🎹 On this day in 1983, my debut solo album officially hit the UK shelves. Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful for the journey it started and the amazing memories we all share. Thank you for listening then, and thank you for listening now.

@Mschatnoir I was in hospital with peritonitis and the guy in the opposite bed had Crohn's. Made me feel a lot better about my own suffering, at least I could anticipate a full recovery.

@AlisonMoyet Need a collective noun for such paragons of musical influence... "influenza" appears to be taken already.

Forgot to share from the last night of the N.A Generations Tour recently home from. Marc & I both on the bill for The Human League & all a joy to work with. I do so love a special guest slot. No pressure or promo, just the playing. How Lush :-) My clever team make it splendid ❤️

“YOU CAN PUT THAT BACK IN THE CAR NOW!” This fly-tipping taxi was caught red handed dumping a boot load on the side of the road. He simply drives off but not before his licences and registration numbers were recorded. Not a good look for Western Cars in Derby.

@godblesstoto @CrunchAlias I wondered if that was down to compulsive hair-tugging or a genuine hormone imbalance.

@CrunchAlias She always had a bit of a fivehead to begin with.

One thing I hadn't noticed before is Ellen's combover. She already seems to be hitting the baldness stage of testosterone poisoning, which happens much more rapidly for women due to the high doses of T even compared to male levels. This is going to get very sad, very quickly.

@nypost If this was an AI-generated headline based on fusing celeb gossip with Asian menu items, I would have no way of knowing.

Taking out a mortgage to buy a new apartment in Ireland in a new estate for €450,000? Or renting it for €2,000 a month? Watch out, because your neighbour might have been allocated the same apartment as social housing. While you’re paying a mortgage or €2,000 a month in rent, they could be paying just €90 a week in rent. Working hard, earning promotions, getting pay rises, and putting in the effort? You can’t get social housing.

@RolandOrzabal_ From Pale Shelter on 12". It's funny that The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair are so strongly embedded in my memory now for evoking memories for me from early to mid-teens, very different stages mentally and emotionally. So glad to have grown up through them !

How long have you been with the band? Drop the year in the comments. Were you there at the beginning, or did you stumble across us somewhere along the way? Either way, we're glad you stayed.

GO WOKE GO BROKE @SuperValuIRL we have written you a detailed letter. (below) We will be assembling at your stores across the country - to have respectful evidence based conversations with your management and customers. We will be providing leaflets to your customers so they are aware of what you're sponsoring - and they can choose where to shop.

Our letter: Dear SuperValu Management, We have become aware that SuperValu has partnered with BelongTo, and we are writing to ask whether appropriate due diligence was carried out before entering into this partnership. Did SuperValu management review what BelongTo represents, the organisation’s approach, and the educational resources it provides to schools and young people through initiatives such as Stand Up Awareness Week? In particular, did SuperValu review the BelongTo Stand Up Awareness Week Toolkit and the content contained within it before approving this partnership? The toolkit is publicly available here: belongto.org/app/uploads/20… This resource includes terminology and information relating to topics such as binding, tucking, hormones, top surgery, and bottom surgery. We would ask whether SuperValu was aware of this content and whether it considered the appropriateness of these materials being promoted through programmes aimed at young people. We are deeply concerned that BelongTo’s approach to these issues conflicts with our understanding of biology, child safeguarding principles, and the growing international discussion regarding the appropriate clinical approach for children and young people experiencing gender-related distress. We believe children deserve compassionate support, careful assessment, and robust safeguarding. We are concerned about approaches that may lead children towards life-altering medical decisions before they are capable of fully understanding the potential long-term implications, including possible impacts on bone health, fertility, and development. We would also ask SuperValu to consider the findings and recommendations of major reviews and reports, including the Cass Review and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report, which have contributed to ongoing international debate regarding the evidence base, clinical approach, and safeguarding considerations surrounding medical interventions for minors experiencing gender-related distress. We also believe it is important for SuperValu to consider the experiences and concerns raised by individuals who have previously engaged with organisations such as BelongTo. One example is the testimony of a young gay man who has publicly spoken about his personal experience and concerns regarding his involvement with the organisation: youtu.be/-gVvRjhwb0U?is… We are astonished and disappointed that our local supermarket has chosen to partner with an organisation whose approach and educational resources have raised serious concerns among many members of the community. As a result, we are preparing a nationwide awareness campaign involving peaceful assemblies outside SuperValu stores across the country. Our intention is to respectfully engage with customers and management, hold signs, raise awareness, and encourage public discussion about the organisations and resources supported by SuperValu. Ahead of this campaign, we would appreciate a formal response from SuperValu management addressing the following questions: Did SuperValu conduct a full review of BelongTo’s educational materials before entering into this partnership? Was SuperValu aware of the content included in the Stand Up Awareness Week Toolkit? What safeguarding assessment was carried out before approving this partnership? Does SuperValu believe this partnership reflects the expectations and concerns of its customers and local communities? Children only get one chance at childhood. As adults, parents, communities, and organisations with influence over young people, we have a responsibility to ensure we get this right. The decisions we make today can have lifelong consequences, and children’s wellbeing must remain at the centre of every decision. We look forward to receiving clarification from SuperValu management and understanding the basis on which this partnership was approved. Sincerely Jana Lunden, Founder of the Natural Women's Council

@Geordie_Radgie @DVDfever @RobbieRinder Well I'm blocked now anyway. I'm sure I'll cope somehow 🤭.

@nebilcs @DVDfever @RobbieRinder His mad and dad are cousins, give the guy a break. Once he's pulled he is cck out of the goat, I'm sure he'll come up with a great retort.

Congratulations Argentina. A brilliant football team. Shame they needed so many fouls to get there. Winning matters. So does how you win.

No ALMOST SPOLIERS ISH Lupita and Elliot not in it a lot. One Lupita scene I feel would have hit harder if Helen had been played by a demure slight pretty blonde white waif woman sorry....a female who was waifish and weak in that role would have made what Nolan does hit much much much harder Elliot's character matters to plot a good deal but they stole a break out corking role from a real teenager boy then imo Leguizimo is good but his real life bullshit kept ringing my ears Hathaway is....Hathaway...her and that damn face, too much face sorry...again...Penelope WAS strong to resist for so long so yes we had to see that..but again, weaker female would have hit harder Tom Holland...I have a problem as I love this guy..I feel bizarrely maternal to him so him in 'vulnerable but brave son' works...still can't not see Tom Holland though Sam Morton she's not on par with heath Ledger as claimed...decent role...i rate her highly as an actress and she comes through...but as some of you know I personally don't think she's a nice human being after being a bitch to me for zero reason in the past *grudge remains solid..these scenes are disturbing af...well done on the horror there Nolan lad Elliottt amamannow Page Glad not playing Achilles...role is a great addition but she is rough as fuck looking for a 16 year old sorry and again cannot see past Elliottttt being there as a pity cast..role not big so a Greek teenager out there? robbed lad robbed Ben Affleck I mean Matt Damon He pulls it all off..he puts his all in and I appreciated that, I did, sometimes forget he was Matt Damon..but..mostly by the end I say any award noms should be his Charlize what a pretty woman still..and she's calm here..I like calm Charlize because I think she could be terrifying as fuck to date or know..I have no evidence of this at all...she diets hard...can see it on face now..BUT look...shes aging bless her and her face is still stunning..better than old Hathaway imo who is quite a bit younger mhmmm....nice performance actually..nothing to say Zendaya There is a VERY good reason why Zendaya is this face who is FINE...I won't hear anything against her in this..I get it...pass congrats on marrying Tom too he's so damn cute i get it.

@libsoftiktok Amateurs. Check out Ireland's Children's Hospital. €2.2bn and counting, original estimate < €700m.

Los Angeles International Airport railway is now $1 billion over budget and years delayed The contractor is now SUING the city for blaming them for the delays and claims the delays were actually the city’s fault Another Newscum failure reeking of corruption

None of this Ann Widdecombe story makes any sense.

@straczynski Thanks for this!!
