I'm not sure if the best song is Papa Was A Rodeo (The Magnetic Fields, 69 Love songs) or Papa Was A Rodeo (Orville Peck, Stampede)

Dune : rich white guy liberated Arabs from another rich white guy and conquers the universe

Dune Messiah/Children : it all goes to shit.

God Emperor: his son turns into a worm and rules with an army of lesbians.

Heretics/Chapterhouse : it begins to get weird. The lesbians are more violent.

There's two absurdly good looking twinks opposite me on the train.

We all all have moustaches.

Goading someone into hanging up me by saying "I'm sorry you're being racist and misogynist, would you like me to end this call?"

I did say it in a nice way.

I'm reminded of an account following a particular fandom that not only posted 24/7 but also had at least three distinct identities. They all had particular syntax and switching opinions on topics. It was clearly shift workers.

The guy at work who wore the same vintage tweed plus-four suit three days in a row was wearing an off-rack suit and a dinky little silk scarf and I cruised past in this

Just listening to Tubular Bells on the train in to work like a normal person

There's someone at work who's done the same vintage tweed plus-four look three days now and like honey is does look good but this has to stop.

Just feeling a little bit fancy I'm having dinner at the restaurant that turned away Jeremy Seinfeld.

I was saw Toni Collette here.

I'm having this standoff in my head with the guy opposite me on the train. We're both wearing RMs but he, like a peasant, is wearing chisel toe Craftsmen in standard heel whereas I am wearing point toe Yearlings in stacked heel.

What is the best song and why is it Papa Was a Rodeo?

I have put on Marianne Faithful's cover of The Crane Wife 3, which is an example of a cover being better than the original.

A dilemma question.

Should I put on Moonlight Shadow before or after the stovetop kettle has boiled?

I was reminded of the time someone I worked with said "I wish I had a talent" and I replied "aren't you the best Irish dancer in Australia?" "Yeah but something useful"

I love getting a targeted ad for the sunglasses I'm literally wearing.

Anyone who says you you can't be too matchy-matchy can go fuck themselves and you can't even see how much my socks match my shirt.
