From the @OrendaBooks hit-making factory that brought you the fifth best Scottish Fiction Book of 2021*, soon comes the incendiary … THE WEEKENDERS 13.02.25 *other poll selections are available
Bit of a @paulwellerHQ bonanza day today: The new album, ‘Find El Dorado’ (which is great, in my opinion) The new @uncutmagazine cover story by @petepaphides … and a phenomenal new book that illustrates the sartorial style and cultural influences of Weller.
Up. Face like an overcooked Egg McMuffin. Hair like the worn threads of a retired Bungee rope collective. Voice like a backstabbing Mutley, his balls being toasted over Dick Dastardly’s Bunsen burner. Morning.
Up. Face like Marty Feldman viewed through a cracked kaleidoscope. Hair like a toddler’s discarded Alphabetty Spaghetti. Voice like DJT, post-revolution, tied to the tracks, long train a-coming. Morning.

Consensus from the BBC ‘man-in-the-street’ vox-pops on the Trump visit seems to be: “Guy’s a total walloper, but he invests a lot of (other people’s) money in the local area, employs a lot of people, replaces his divots, blah blah fucking blah!” Sid was right about one thing, eh?
Up. Face like a drunk, naked Sumo wrestler at the bottom of a collapsed Twister scrum. Hair like the collected shavings from Nigel Farage’s scaly tongue. Voice like Joe Dolce eight miles high on a magic porcini trip to Xanadu. Morning.
Come along to the @edbookfest this August 14th to join in a chat with myself and Georgina Godwin about the acceleration of technology, AI and resistance! Oh yes, and my new novel "For Emma", which is named after the victim of a big tech experiment. Links below. Cheers.

An American visits a city in China with same GDP like Houston but with 14 million people…
There’s no truth, only (warped) perspective* (*Wish I had patented this as a bumper sticker)
Trump: We found absolute -- this isn't like "Evidence" or like -- this is proof, irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup, and with Hillary Clinton and all these other people, but Obama headed it up. This is the biggest scandal in the…
Ten years since the old Ted gig. Haven’t aged a day..! Wonder if the arguments have though. youtu.be/TmdryiyID4E?si…
Up. Face like a pair of melted snakeskin boots. Hair like the weekly contents of Albert Steptoe’s Hoover. Voice like a whoopee cushion exploding under Big Daddy’s arse. Morning.
Hope Russell Martin turns out to be a lucky manager. We carried a lot of it tonight.
Far too early in the (pre)season to be this apprehensive. Even anxiety needs a decent break to charge its nerve-endings.
Up (is Down) This morning’s Up is brought to you by a dove in your bedroom, the tiger in your tank, and the giant in your toilet bowl. This Up goes better with Coke. This Up fights germs that may cause bad breath. This Up puts you in the driver's seat. God bless ‘Merica.
