@flieldy Protomartyr were incredible live. Wholly unexpected, blew my socks off.

Pile & Protomartyr have been on incredible runs. Among the best sustained discographies I’ve seen. Both are severely underrated, but both tour constantly so you can go see them as soon as you want

@ettingermentum Weird choice but seen some great players and moments the last 5 years

My brother getting into the Premier League and deciding to support Crystal Palace for no reason

@ettingermentum Djed Spence boy, only one who refused to shake a rapists hand too. Legend.

That guy who looks like Messmer on England is fast as shit — Roo

@sizwebold Mate, it’s bullshit. Fucking October. Sort it out.

Boots Riley wants me to wait until October to watch his movie in my country

@eddyy_2k The media.

You’re proof that the media is biased towards the ‘Hero’ Messi when discussing GOAT conversations. Ronaldo will forever be the ‘Villian’ the amount of glazing for Messi is insane

@jackneel Guys he said he WOULDN’T be a zoom president

Patrick Bet David Reveals Why the Elite Wanted Him to Rule Iran “Last July when we were in the Hamptons. I got a call saying, do you have any interest?” (Via Jack Neel Podcast)

@joncstone @hann_jvc Put on a suit mate, c’marn

@hann_jvc Not sure if they’ve changed it now but when I was in the lobby journalists really had to wear a collared shirt and tie because they wouldn’t let you in the press gallery without one. honestly it was pathetic and one of the reasons I decided Westminster wasn’t for me

Why do the men in Westminster now dress so badly? Westminster once expected powerful men to look powerful. Now some of its most influential figures seem determined to look as though they've slept in a hedge. New essay 👇

@dieworkwear @mcmansionhell Wow this is a real crossover powerhouse: an excellent menswear guy talking about an excellent architecture writer on the excellent middlebrow.

the new middlebrow podcast with @mcmansionhell is very enjoyable. many of the points raised feel salient to menswear — deskilling in the trades, rise of bad taste because an uneducated customer goes wild with options, poptimism vs cultural criticism, etc IG middlebrowpod

@flying_rodent The guy who auditions AI actors

What’s the best AI cultural thing people like

@MattMahanSJ @ZohranKMamdani @InternetTodayTV please talk about this.

.@ZohranKMamdani and I have something huge in common — we’re both entirely focused on making life better for working people. We have very different ideas on how to do that, but I think that’s the sign of a healthy democracy: the ability to disagree civilly, debate thoughtfully, and grapple with the fact that what we’ve been doing isn’t working — even, and perhaps most importantly, when you come from the same political party. I love New York, but I’m happy to be on a flight home right now — because California, we have a whole lot of work to do.

@LundNyborg @teachingwrens @jonnybid @MrBoothY6 Second this we once used David Weisner’s Tuesday across the school

@teachingwrens @jonnybid @MrBoothY6 We used ‘Flotsam’ across the whole school. It worked very well.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a picture book to centre World Book Day on, as a school? The children loved 'The Day The Crayons Quit' last year. Launching with a whole-school theme worked well. @jonnybid @MrBoothY6

@Billie_T Pretty spot on. Bring her back was mental.

Letterboxd gang what are your end of year lists? Here is my top 10

@wordisbond I hope you played the curb your enthusiasm theme

Deejaying tonight and I have no idea what I’m going to play at midnight.

@ben_bowman_ Bazball is fucking stupid and a cover for bad batting.

Genuinely unforgivable that, saying it’s disappointing and a huge missed opportunity would be an understatement

@DougKennedy93 @dieworkwear What do you think about blazer and button up with shorts?

@dieworkwear I’ve actually been seeing it more and more on IG

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool: — The perfect pants. Tailoring by Assisi in Korea — Jackfort outerwear. Mostly custom-made or MTO — Coherence Fou Fou II. Available at Andrea in Seoul, Korea — Fox Bros's William Bliss cav twills & tweeds; Maison Hellard linings

@flying_rodent Who could have seen this one coming?

Surely not the miracle technology that’s going to rescue all of us, and Britain in particular theguardian.com/business/2025/…

@flying_rodent Fucked it into the sun. FFS.

The point here is that it doesn’t matter who is to blame, we all look like clueless faffing fannies regardless

@trey_official_ You’re a stupid guy.

@Tesho13 Walkable city people don’t realize that whenever the weather is anything but sunny and 70 degrees, everyone gonna wanna take a car regardless. Snow? Car. Rain? Car. Heat? Car. Cold? Car.

All I want for Christmas is a wealthy friend who wants to help me make Charlotte a more walkable city

@dieworkwear Laksa > pho every day.

people on here hating coconut water and pho have me questioning my reality

@EliotETC C’est parfait
