They had a similar headline the other day about Tom Daley’s side eye in Celebrity Traitors. Lazy, piss poor space-filling.

THIS IS NOT NEWS.

A headline on the BBC News website saying “Strictly stars gear up to shimmy their way through Movie Week”.

I’ve spent most of today in bed in varying degrees of unwell. Currently dosed up on some dihydrocodeine (for the ankle), Lemsip (for the throat/chest), and an ice pack (for the splitting headache), and I almost feel half human again.

I have post-flight lurgy, the full burning chest, achy bones, scratchy cough, nausea and knackeredness combo. Could do with Dolly’s sister rallying the prayer warriors tbh.

Brilliant cover design as well. So of it’s time yet kinda timeless too.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Kiddo and I saw Refused tonight at SWG3, on their farewell tour. Spirits high, body broken, just as it should be.

The first couple of episodes were a slow burn, but then? #BlackRabbit

#BlackRabbit episode six is the most stressful thing I’ve watched all year. Interpol playing as the dawn rises over New York - gorgeous. Everything else? I love it but I want to throw up.
