I just checked. Including this World Cup, Scotland has drawn the same group as Brazil 5 TIMES in the last 7 we've qualified for!

Spotify Wrapped has at least helped me figure out which track to add to the playlist I've made with songs from (almost) every year of my life - @divorcehq.bsky.social's "Lord" youtu.be/WMRO66g3u0o?...

Sigh... Sure Adobe, uninstall the Pre-Flight functions in Acrobat why don't you. Now I have to explain to IT what it is and why I need them to reinstall it ASAP... 🙄

Is it just me, or is this song by Midlake a little too similar to Crowded House's "Four Seasons in One Day"? open.spotify.com/track/18Gu9e...

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.
Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

Biffy Clyro scrap US tour over 'genius' visa error
The band say "some genius" filled in the wrong dates on their visa form, making the tour impossible.

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

“A Scout is brave.”
Strong response from Scouting head (and former aerospace CEO) Roger Krone.
I personally did not vibe with the other kids in my Scout troop, but this whiskey-breath chickenhawk peckerhead “Secretary of War” is awakening levels of patriotic outrage in me I didn’t know were there

Does the BBC think it's improper for a speaker to state their opinion that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history?
Because I think almost all historians would readily agree that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.

Since everyone seems to be doing their SW takes in response to this, my own prequel bugbear is that everything (particularly the political discussions) is framed in big, wide shots, killing connection to the characters in favour of showing off the pretty CG backgrounds.
Also, the score NEVER STOPS!

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

My shortlist for my favourite albums of 2025 is currently sitting at 30. This is going to be a fun one to whittle down, but I guess that's the sign of a good music year?

Between conflicting family safety settings on Microsoft, Xbox (which we don't have BTW, but that seems to be where all PC game settings live), and Roblox, I can't figure out which one is suddenly stopping my kids from playing Roblox 🤬.

I'm listening to the audiobook of Tim Curry's memoir, "Vagabond", read by the man himself. The stroke has very obviously affected his speech, but his wit and talent as a storyteller is still there. It is, however, the only use I've found for adjusting the playback speed of an audiobook.

I'm realizing that '76 is quite underrepresented in my record collection. Lots from '75 or '77, but '76 doesn't have too much for me. It does have Dylan's "Desire" though, so that's next for this morning #NowPlaying

I still have the house to myself so I've decided to keep on listening to 1976, with Genesis's "A Trick of the Tail". Not that I ever really need a reason to listen to this one mind you. #NowPlaying

This album is so forgotten it doesn't even turn up in listicles of "Worst album covers"
I'm starting my Sunday morning with an album that I've never heard before - Loudon Wainwright III's "T Shirt". I went through a Loudo phase about 25 years ago, but I don't remember seeing this one on CD even... So far, so OK, though opener "Bicentennial" sounds like it has wah-wah on the vocals?
