How much candy do I have to eat before I cross "eat so much junk food" off today's to-do list?

The 17-year-old cat is lying under the tree being snuggly with the presents. I thought that with no humans around I’d have my own schedule - but it looks like the felines are initiating Christmas.

It can be easy to focus on the don't-haves. And sometimes there's a grief so big you cause harm by forcing cheer. But sometimes, it's a matter of focus. So I'm going to try to reframe my Christmas and see the haves. I hope that you can, too; but also give youself permission for whatever you feel.
I always find it quite moving, lyrics along the lines of ‘next year all our problems will be out of sight’. Christmas is partly always a reflection on what you have or don’t have. Wherever this one finds you, I hope you have a good few days.

And the pre-Christmas binge is... rewatching Broadchurch. Holiday spirit? Well, I'm feeling *something*. Maybe I'll graduate to full on horror movies on Christmas day. Some years being alone requires more drastic measures than others.

This man died in ICE custody at a private prison. He had a valid work permit, owned a trucking company, paid taxes for 30 years, married to a US citizen, and was arrested while at scheduled appointment for his green card. Did you vote for this MAGA?

I know what this does smell like, but what *should* the scent of “perfect Christmas” be?

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.

If you’re not already listening, it isn’t too late to catch up! I’ve just developed my most unhinged theory yet. If I can get there, so can you - I believe in you!
Don't forget to listen to episode three tomorrow (unless you have other, more important things to do). Hugh gets grilled by Catriona, hears a couple of theories from a cabbie, and then gets involved in some interesting goings-on at the station as he's heading for home.

This morning started with me trying to figure out why my alarm was ringing on a Saturday.

The slow realization that it was actually Friday felt like a slow-burn horror film: confusion, suspense, growing dread, and a few casualties at the end.

Okay, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯. I know if you follow Mark's work, you probably expected this anyway.
But even just two episodes in, the podcast has already become a source of connection and representation for people struggling with their mental health, neurodivergence, long covid and so much more. Go give it a listen

If you aren't listening to this, you should be! The puzzle solving and paranoia is delightful. Best game I've played in ages.
The second episode of my murder-story podcast is out. You could do worse things with half an hour of your Sunday, for sure. If you need me to name some examples I will do.
Almost a week since that awful business with the murder. You have today to catch up with the opening episode before Hugh begins his investigation tomorrow.

I am “very” old, and do not understand Instagram. I posted a video that magically became a reel and now I’m obsessing over the percentage of strangers that spent more than 3 seconds watching me tell a purposefully stupid joke.

This corner of the online world feels much more sane.

Trying to find my audience for this sort of thing. To be fair, there might not be an audience; the lyrics could definitely use some workshopping.

There’s a quiet, passive, people-pleasing version of me that I have cultivated far more than I should have. The quickest way to see a different side of me is by insulting my students. This is not the worst this man has done, but if I ever get to speak to him, it will not be “passive” or “quiet”.

OK - pie discourse - best pie story:

In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*

The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

I am giving away 1 ticket - which I cannot use - to see Mark Watson's Before it Overtakes Us on Thurs (Nov 27th) in Stroud. It comes with a pre-show dinner ticket also. Seat is front row center.

(I've connected with a lot more people recently, so trying again - hate for this seat to go empty).

I am so ready.

Major AI fail, I'd say. One of the worst.

Greatly looking forward to some ongoing entertainment and puzzle solving! Please do join in.
I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

Don't feel good today 😭 So instead of getting All The Stuff done, I'm on the couch with the cats eating expensive delivery soup and watching three men argue about whether Dolly the Sheep was vegetarian. All in all I guess I've had worse Saturdays.

Please watch
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
