Following multiple Irish media accounts, and my timeline be like “5 die in Meath horror crash”... “3 killed in car accident in Mayo”... “Tributes paid to West Cork mum who died in road smash”... and “This compact 2-bedroom Ballymun end terrace, yours for only €2,000,000”.

@loudribs.bsky.social I suspect that my Bluesky timeline may have crossed streams.
Goodnight from Jack Hurley, still taking helpful directions from his dead wife as he pushes their Vauxhall Victor F towards Burwood. Goodnight from Chas Foster, fixing newspapers to the windows of his shed so no-one can see him making illegal sprite traps. Goodnight from Hookland.

Me: tired, work tomorrow, early start, had better crash.
My brain: Look! Just found a 3 hour documentary on black holes! And there's loads of booze in the house! Including that bottle of moonshine that tastes like brake fluid!

Whilst I know that we're all supposed to play music/videos on our mobiles at top volume on trains these days, but kudos to the guy who's just played God Save The King followed by Boney M on this particular choo choo.

This week's Stewart Lee column in @thenerve.news has an absolute humdinger of a Reginald Bosanquet gag, and this is exactly the content I'm here for. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

I know that England is a bit weird, but I'm currently in a town with England flags, Remembrance poppies and Halloween decorations all festooned from lampposts, and I don't know whether to deport immigrants, kill them or dress them up as a zombie.

In a bar with a young and very talented/intelligent colleague. He's 25, but has never heard of Mogwai. We're fucked, leaving the world in the hands of this generation, ain't we?

Very much enjoying working in London this morning despite going to a gig in Glasgow last night (memo to self: take the Caledonian Sleeper next time).

Just spotted a posh guy with a fake moustache and nose combo queuing outside Waterstones in Woking. Must be Andrew Windsor making sure he's first in line for a special new book tomorrow morning.

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x

There's a guy in this boozer - can't be a day under 70 - who's rocking a 1980s, Limahl in his pomp coiffure, and I only hope I get to look like that if I make it to his vintage.

Hmm. Plenty of tricolours affixed to the lampposts of backstreet residential Dublin D2. I assume a celebration of welcoming, tolerance and solidarity, rather than racist flagshaggers at it again. #Speirghorm

As the UK is having another normal one again, I'm having my own state visit. To Ireland. Currently parading around Drumconda dressed as Melania Trump's hat creature.

Glasgow's at-risk, Category A listed Egyptian Halls looks so much better with the scaffolding wrapping torn off and a large advert for vapes added.

I do find it rather bizarre that the fash are back. A good punch in the face should sort them out (like what happened to Moseley).
Oswald Mosley at a British Union of Fascists rally in East London on 4 October 1936. People who ignore the errors of the past are destined to repeat them.

In a bar and they're playing Heroin by the Velvet Underground, which isn't a sentence I thought I'd type.

Been busy with life stuff so haven't been keeping abreast of recent world events... but Jeez, this segmentation of people into 'right' and 'left' - both in a US context but also at home, abroad etc- is infantile and tedious as fuck.

This is such a good record. It's like they've remade the Wicker Man, but starring The Slits.
I think I might wear this one out. Been enjoying it on the streaming, but chuffed to get a copy on vinyl.

Just seen a chap in shorts with a tattoo that closely resembles the face of Ian Krankie, and that's the look I'm hoping to rock.

Just the 26 year wait for this rabble to release a new LP. That Prolapse finally have is delightfully awful (in all the best ways).
