I’m not on X but could some one ask Grok if Elon is a top or a bottom?

Didn’t get the whole baggy thing in 1989 - stuck firmly to my goth vibe - but you couldn’t deny the quality of the Stone Roses debut. We were all trying to play Mani’s bass lines. What a legend.

Currently trying to figure out which trains might be off peak or not. Can’t believe just how difficult we make travelling by train in the UK

The politicians are right when they say immigration is dividing the country. It’s split between those who believe Farage and his ilk that all the woes of the world are the fault of immigrants, and those who can see through the bullshit. The bit the politicians forget is the latter group is bigger.

Nice to see Ruben has reimplemented the monthly direct debit to the Referees Benevolent Fund so foolishly cancelled by David Moyes.

24 years ago, the wife talked me into chucking away my collection of tapes. “It’s all on CD now” I remember her saying. Spent a good chunk of the last few years replacing most of it on vinyl, but today I’ve opened up a new front on my musical reminiscences. Tactile audio heaven.

Just having a scroll through eBay and thought I’d spotted a @warringtonruncorn.com variant that I’d somehow missed

Finally got my authentic 70’s speakers hooked up to my authentic 70’s amp so I’ve no choice really but to pump the new @warringtonruncorn.com through them! Very happy!

Voted in the Labour Deputy Leadership election, but giving some serious consideration to cancelling my membership now and switch to the Greens. This Polanski chap is a breath of fresh air.

There’s always one track on a @warringtonruncorn.com album that makes me go ‘chuff me, that’s a belter!’. Looks like it’s Renewal and Regeneration on the new Public Works and Utilities record. #belter

![Cartoon strip by me who is Stephen Collins. The imagery of the comic starts off with a single electron and then each panel zooms out one step - first to the microchip, then the OLED screen, then the iPhone, the person holding the iPhone, and onwards
Script:
An electron, forged in the first fire of the Big Bang
Courses through a deeply intricate maze of transistors and diodes
mined with unfathomable ingenuity from our planet’s deep geological past
and assembled from all over the world
Into a device perfected through centuries of technological evolution
to perform a beautifully synchronised pixel dance on an OLED screen
in an intricate moving pattern of shifting light
[Show a phone screen with an Instagram post featuring Ryan Gosling and bearing the legend:]
WATCH RYAN GOSLING EAT A PASTY FOR THE FIRST TIME!
whose choreography is powered by an global information network of unknowable complexity
which is specifically tailored to the interests of the being observing the screen
who is a member of the most advanced species on Earth
[Show a shlubby looking GUY idly looking at the Ryan Gosling/sausage roll Instagram reel on his phone while sitting in his pants and a stained t-shirt and eating a massive bag of crisps]
with a brain perhaps more capable of reconfiguring these signals into conscious thought than any other for billions of miles around
[Guy has a thought]:
“Mmm…"
in this endless, silent void.
[Pull back to show the Earth as a tiny blue dot among the stars with a thought bubble coming from it]
"… I want a pasty.”

Disappointed that no one on my timeline is raving about Alien Earth. Such a fun series with some really cool ideas. Absolutely no idea how this will segue into Alien without breaking everything though.

Still regret not getting a photo with Dickie Bird when he was sat at the back of the chapel at my lads christening twenty odd years ago. Lived near him in Barnsley and used to see him walking up our road on a regular basis. He was a bit of a curmudgeon but that’s cool with me.

Time to get the ironing board out. Might as well be productive while watching United try to remember how to kick a ball about.
