Putting together tonight's is proving tricky.

I have 2:19:51 worth of music in the list so far, which needs to be thinned by at least 35 minutes.

Got to make some tough decisions!

@DJDarren how many bands are punctuated? Neu! and Therapy? come to mind.

The football team I've followed since I was eleven have just, in the last few minutes, won the League One title, and with it promotion to the Championship, English football's second tier.

You don't have to get sport, but please understand that this means a lot to me.

Play up, Pompey! Pompey, play up!

@DJDarren as a life-long Skate, I wouldn't mind at all if your lot go up to the Premier as well. The derbies are always hideous.

@janettespeyer I doubt it. Iran doesn't benefit from that, and they've made it known that this attack "will be designed to avoid escalating conflict". But that doesn't mean it isn't fucking stupid and dangerous.

A man who rode on a horse to deliver somebodyโ€™s Uber Eats order has been banned from working.

A video of Stanley Chen riding the animal in Sydney, Australia, was posted to social media earlier this week.

What! I'd pay extra for that service! ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŒฏ

People on Twitter are debating whether a person using uncommon words like "delve" are trying to sound smarter than they are, or worse, are ChatGPT bots, because "normal" people don't talk like that.

You don't have to get upset, or embroiled in the debate. Not worth the time or attention. But I'll share some important context as your friendly neighborhood Nigerian ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Many Nigerians have bigger English language vocabularies and better command of grammar than the typical American or English person

@mekkaokereke it's also an issue for autistic people whose spectrum includes hyperlexia, like me. We read so early that some teachers don't believe us, and I doubt I'm the only one whose vocabulary broke tests. But we all have different challenges.

Today's stream is totally not sponsored by crumpets! Delicious, tasty, toasted crumpets.
A variety of topping choices can be used from Nutella to jams & preserves as well as the humble, classic butter.

Don't you think you deserve a tasty, toasted treat?

Interesting YouGov poll on the future of Northern Ireland...

@harriettmb

Screenshot of the YouGov Daily Chat UK for 12 Feb 2024 which is asking about the future of Northern Ireland showing that 75% of respondents support a reunification referendum by 2030.

@TCMuffin @harriettmb David Allen Green's analysis of this situation is well worth reading.

Having one of those moments where Iโ€™m fascinated by the optimism of 1950s/60s brutalist architecture, and how it juxtaposes with how much of it looks now.

Found this website that has some wonderful photos of brutalist buildings when they were new, and clean - https://www.somethingconcreteandmodern.co.uk

Given that this is a reboot year for Wales, a BP loss at Twickenham is a decent enough result. I'd have loved the win, of course, but if we learned anything from the World Cup, it's that this England wins games they don't deserve to. @rugby

A very bitty second half. But England have not put this beyond Welsh reach. @rugby
