It's Alright by Steve Earle
30 years this week since the release of Steve Earle's It's Alright. Post jail and rehab, he made one of his best records; its title is equal parts hope & defiance.
he should definitely be involved in Mexican Grand Prix

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)
Done! Hope it’s an enormous success Jonn
Ha ha! My apologies
Then there' the Seafield sewerage works, some yards along the shore,
Processing folks' waste for many a year (and more),
The people of Leith are fortunate to be so near to that pipe,
But alas, in summer, the stench is awfully ripe etc etc
Terrific. As an adopted Leither, I was (I think blissfully) unaware of this utter doggerel.
Your poems are shit,
and so are your stunts.
You shout at hotels,
you wife-beating cunts.
Keep seeing this Copilot ad in which a woman pulls off a shit-hot 'business negotiation' by tapping away at Copilot to ask its advice every 20 seconds, as if that would put you in a position of strength rather than implying that you didn't have a fucking clue what you were doing.
As I hope you already know, there's a new Springsteen song called "Streets of Minneapolis." I'm going on my fifth listen myself. If it's your first, you may well be saddened but you won't be sorry.

I thought first half,meh; second half, great. I blubbed twice 😩
Saw this tonight. Fantastic film; both sisters are incredible
The Power of Poetry with things falling apart and anarchy let loose, it was only poetry, he found, which had any use, so he reached for his copy of The Complete Works of Yeats and bludgeoned the President of the United States Brian Bilston
Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
One of the most underrated records of all time
Britain is broken. We broke it. Vote for us.
A bold electoral platform.
3/3 St Mungo with the robin he has just restored to life, in one of Glasgow's many gable end murals by Smug, this one in the High Street just down from the Cathedral. Today's the feast of St Mungo.
I asked bilingual high schoolers in Glasgow what they made of Nigel Farage's criticism of their language skills...
“Speaking another language definitely improved my cognitive skills and my memory", 16 year old Maria told me. "And it opens doors for jobs.”

In any sane world FIFA ought to cancel the World Cup.
Important listen (if I may) 👇 Thanks @polphilpod.bsky.social for the invite (ping @edinburghpir.bsky.social @uoe-sps.bsky.social)
‘Big in Sheboygan’ will be the name of my first LP
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.
this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
I think we need to go from antifa to antififa.
Love it. My favourite yet, and a beautiful tribute to J 💚
Recreate the magic of A Christmas Carol for an elderly relative by waking them repeatedly to tell them where they’ve gone wrong in life.
Someone next to me shouted “louder” - which just wouldn’t have been possible
