Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
Timely. Went to see Dr Strangelove tonight. Utterly brilliant. Coogan is ace and so is the whole cast. Thank goodness for you and thank you @Aiannucci

90+7. FIGHT TIL' THE END.
John Stones with a header in added time - and following an on-field review, the goal is given.
🐺 1-2 🩵 #ManCity
This is the day. Counting down the hours to @thethe tonight.
I should add. The app kicked me out constantly for the first hour - something went wrong, our bad etc etc. Then started off around 218,000th. Still. Got to be in it to win it. #Oasis

I am back 💙 ... and I hope we can continue where we‘ve stopped in Summer 2023. 🏆🏆🏆 Thanks to everyone who made this comeback possible. My seven years in Manchester have been an exceptional period in my life - to have the opportunity to return here means so much. Come on City! 💙

As creators as we make future moves, it's good to remember those who laid the foundations for us, entertained us, engaged with us & made us smile.
Denise Johnson's vocal presence is part of the fabric of Manchester & UK music.
We will honour Denise in her home city tomorrow.
Get in! Hate penalties, glad to be on the winning side! Eddie’s save and pen were equally awesome. 🩵 MCFC!

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

Some great news . There will be blue plaques for my old mate and singer/songwriter Denise Johnson, and vocalist & songwriter Diane Charlemagne. These remarkable women blessed us with their voices on some of the most treasured tracks in British music culture.
Diane Charlemagne’s vocals graced songs that included 52nd Street’s "Tell Me How it Feels," Goldie's "Inner City Life,” & “The Key, The Secret “with Urban Cookie Collective, whilst Denise Johnson sang the underground classic with Fifth of Heaven’s Just A Little More & Primal Scream's "Screamadelica." and sang with @acrmcr Denise went onto write and produce her captivating and fiercely independent debut album, “Where Does It Go” that was posthumously released in 2020.
