Fun - #TTRPG, played lots of DnD but soon to rotate in to DMing so expect a lot about that.
Professional - #DataScience & #Accountant python, excel, DBs.
Me - Grew up in poverty in Thatchers Britain and wherever I am now that has informed my politics. Never trust a Tory.

Well my copy digital copy of Terminus by @irny.bsky.social is here and it's a beaut.

When I backed it I paid to name one of the characters after my dad. A priest. Father Alan Newman. Yeah he really was, maybe not biologically but in all the important ways. 1/

I'm told I spelled Ronan's name wrong, well after what he did to that song he should change his name and think about what he did so I'm just giving him a leg up really.
Listening to a Christmas one hit wonders thing from the BBC and they had a version of "The War is Over" by the pop idol people. It was dreadful. People who like that song, are the kind of people who are ok with GenAI.

See also Ronan Keeting an his abominable version of The Fairy Tale of New York.

Bands I love where I don't love every track but the best of is absolutely immense*

Idlewild
Jimmy Eat World

System of a Down
Foo fighters

They highs are so high.

* YMMV

I just heard that some people I don't know might be playing a TTRPG I don't play in a way that I wouldn't want to.

Let me rush to YouTube to make an hour-long video about my horror and rage...

I think it will effect me to the princely sum of £1.5 per week.

A lot of absolute melts are going to lose it about this. I hope your car hits every pothole and you can't get an appointment about your piles.
On the one hand that budget will sting a bit in a few years but I've said I should pay more tax for ages.
