Listening back to a mashup I did a day or more ago usually means a few frowns and 'it's okay...but that should be better'

But still digging this one... and getting nice comments. remix.audio/track/82719/...

I really hope there is a second series of Riot Women. It's brilliant.

Hiker RAGE vs Idiot Driver! 😡 Had a run-in with a driver on a narrow lane on the North Downs Way. They really don't like hikers, do they? They care more about their paintwork than your life.
And a 6,000-Year-Old Surprise! 😮 Medway Megaliths older than Stonehenge...

Talking about my artworks on a live stream - I intended to draw for the first time since John died - but it got too late. Lots of nice comments in the chat though.

(Psst people who dye your beard/hair darker: we can tell and we're too polite to say anything but it actually looks ridiculous.

Leave it to go grey, 50-60+ year old men do not have dark hair like that, anyway you forgot your eyebrows/it's growing out, LOL).

In June Lib Dems were moaning at the Pride ban, saying they were better than all the other parties and always supporting LGBTQ* folks.

Now this: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Please don't tell me again how 'progressive' the Lib Dems are, I don't want to hear it.

And I realised I loved Dry Cleaning so much - another never-left-the-iPod their early Eps and first LP - because it's basically the inside of my head. My thoughts run like this:

There are some things that never have left my iPod. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are one, kind of similar to Sandy Denny but from the other side of the emotional spectrum but teliing as many truths.

Listening today and this came on.

It's just a witch hunt against Rachel Reeves" - yes, she is the only prominent minister to ever have sold a house or rent it within the imaginary rules that don't exist cos no-one else has ever done it...*cough*

Oops - I wonder if Trump's handlers TOLD him it was an IQ test - or the fact he's saying a cognitive test was 'hard' and confusing it with an IQ test suggests why they keep testing him with it...

Eek - Saudis buying EA and thus The Sims.

I know how many queer folks play this game, but Saudis are far from LGBTQ* friendly...neither is Silver Lake (Jared Kushner) or indeed human rights friendly.

Gutted about the death of Dave Ball - only 66. He had health struggles but looked fine the last time I saw him at the 02 but that was a long time ago....he was less in the public eye as Marc the beating heart of Soft Cell and The Grid.

I have experienced ageism like this, a little. I have reminded them of that fact, going EWWW at an older queer who will be them in 10,20,30 years time.

Fascinating whenever I post a question on hiking/wild camping subs and forums especially if they know I'm a Hiking YouTuber there is a certain kind of little anal man who loves to pick holes.

And wave their dick around and get all huffy cos they assume I'm an influencer and 'know it all'.

Ouch www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ejM... RIP Bob, I didn't know your music til now but this song deserves a lot more views.

And the lyrics are devastating, if you came from a happy loving background, likely you won't get it. And how that perpetuates into adulthood, cos it's all you know.

The real problem with the 'rise in antisemitism' is that they extended the definition so far via IHRA, into criticism of Israel being seen as antisemitic and other areas now that's a meaningless statistic.

Nice that Paypal has such terrible fallback IT systems that it tells customers they are blocked rather than admit something fell over...
