One of the biggest vindications has been playing this live at Pop Never Dies on multiple occasions over the last two years and having people live for it. Rina is that girl.
Just saw someone play this hell. The world really is changing

I wish Twinks all the things a modern former #BBUK contestant could hope for - an appearance at Mighty Hoopla introducing Jamelia, a spot on BBC Local Radio, and a chance to be on Celebrity Masterchef next year.

i'd say "shame", but clearly there is none.
If you are genuinely curious and want to think beyond the click-bait headlines ( I realise that will be a stretch for some of you) feel free to read what I wrote 3 years ago. 👇 Warning: it will require more than 5 seconds of your attention. gbnews.com/opinion/russell-b…

Rather than having ‘f***ed it’, the journalism of the Times & Sunday Times’ Ros Urwin and Charlotte Wace, and the bravery of women to share their stories, instead exposed an issue which led to justice for victims who’d had to sit with their stories for years.

huge news for the most boring men in culture.
A new theme for the 2027 Met Gala has been announced: “extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday.” Guests will reimagine ordinary everyday clothing such as T-shirts, jeans and sweatshirts.

Totally bizarre? Surely would have been quicker to answer the question. Being rude to journalists not quite picture of the “anti-Trump”.
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed confronted @jamesmatthewsky, telling him he wouldn't answer his questions as he wants "zero" votes in the UK. Watch the heated exchange between the two. Watch our live coverage of the US midterms➡️ trib.al/BikRSb2

We’re in November. These are the best pop albums of the year, no debate. Tore. The gap between these two and the next best projects in genre is a hop skip and a jump btw

Great piece of undercover reporting on an antisemitic sect in Kent. The reporter even grew a terrible moustache to fit in better …
One member of the congregation told our undercover reporter a former synagogue in Kent should be "burned to the ground"... Read the full story here: kentonline.co.uk/thanet/news…

six years ago, we were on zoom judging the popjustice £20 music prize when she arrived late with a pop2 photoshoot outtake as her background, and a determination for watermelon sugar to make it. every moment she has feels like a blessing for the greatest person alive.
