Father and Son is my current favourite on Inferno , but think I’m being a bit shallow. Naraka is probably going to be the Telesphasic type masterpiece .

It’s 10/10 throughout tbf

Claudia show is finding its groove tonight; Guz Khan is a great bon viveur , and Rachel Ziegler is incredibly beautiful and talented

The whole dynamic of the group is casual, and Claudia holds it together with aplomb

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Can I just say how absolutely wonderful your interview with Matthew Francis was today

We’d not heard of Daffyd Gwyllim before , but thought the verse was so fantastic

I don’t know if it were the translations , but it sounded so 20th C

So good that a station can…

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Don’t know that much but weren’t Liverpool doing a bit poorly towards the end of last season , fluked some at the start of this and then gone on a mad losing run

That’s quite a period of poor form

Beautiful Bob Dylan song on @cerysmatthews.bsky.social

They should play it for people in alcohol recovery

I wish we lived in a world where we just pay for something and it’s yours forever; either you have to subscribe to something or have it for “free” and be bombarded with adverts

Is just like to pay a one off payment and have it

Trump going on about London being a terrible, unsafe place to live.
London’s homicide rate is c1.5 per 100,000, a tiny fraction of most American cities (e.g. St Louis 88, Atlanta 32). Maybe he should stop listening to Herr Farage and get his own house in order.

Quite tearful to see the wonderful Jason Manford return to the One Show (as a guest) after his ignominious departure (as host) many years ago

They’ve never recaptured the magic that him and Christine had in when it first started

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I liked Zombies 4 : prescient message regarding dwindling resources&the illogicality of partisan communities

Tough work for the writers to get the character arcs woven into the narrative structure/ themes - which waspartly achieved

feel that the parents should be up in front of The Hague though

This James Marriot

I get it , to a degree , Gen Zedders are buying into his schtick and fine

Good for them

However, “influencer turned rock star” should be discouraged

Yes , I’m looking at you KSI

I know we had your Jason Donovan s and Nick Berry s

But still

Inhaler ! I saw them supporting TOUTS at Night and Day

They were good then and the lad had something

However, the nepobaby thing is so strong in that one

Probably the highest nepobaby thing of all time

And I don’t know if we (as a society) will ever look beyond it
