Starting the day with my favourite Christmas song, as part of a short section of oddball festive songs on my Xmas playlist.

Merry Christmas, Bluesky!

This is 100% accurate, I know there is a small raft of dudes out there who like to try to slam how I do the man thing, and my reaction is and has always been, lol, no, my dudes, I don't take man lessons from boring status anxious try hard bigots
I think of your gender identity as "this is a perfectly acceptable way to be a man and if you're bothered by it, by all means tell me alllllllllllll about it, your irritation gives me LIFE."

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

Not be that gal, but 58 more followers by Christmas to get to a nice round number seems doable. I’m fun! Tell your friends!

In a rare “updates on that thing I’m trying to write” update, I realised today I’d got far too deep into worldbuilding-instead-of-writing.

How, you ask?

Well today I wrote a note that gives brief summaries of the main rail stations in the setting, split by operating company.

So, yeah. Yay trains?

An excellent thread on - often - the surprising flammability of buildings you tend to think of as made of stone.

Also, I maintain that the runner-up should’ve won, for reasons entirely to do with hometown pride. Maybe not ‘pride’ in this instance. Hmm.
Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT

English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

Watched the Morecambe & Wise 1974 Christmas special for the umpteenth time yesterday evening.

More specifically the André Previn, aka Andrew Preview, sketch. Still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Some of the greatest lines in British television comedy history, IMO.

Do you remember this?

Back in 2019 *this post* caused quite a stir on social media.

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

I am a TV journalist so by definition, I watch A LOT OF TV.
I cannot think of a single drama in which this - or anything like this - has happened.
This geezer is just making shit up. And the increasingly laughably self-styled Newspaper of Record is publishing it.

So, today started with a trip to the Embassy of Japan in London. Not how I usually start my work weeks, sadly. Made a change!

As for why… on Saturday evening I got my hands on a Japanese passport. Someone else’s, sadly, on the pavement outside London Victoria station.

Hopefully its owner gets it!
