When not working I strum my guitar, and fondle my synth. And then shoot a roll of film on a cheap vintage camera. Stupid curly hair. Books are great.

Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.
every provocateur who wangs on all the time about Britain being “broken” should be sent to an actual failed state or autocracy for a month as a learning experience, there’s no shortage of them

According to MAGA, Lee Harvey Oswald was in fear for his life because JFK weaponised his car by sitting in it and being driven through Dallas, and that's why he shot him in the head.

Today is International Monkey Day and this is your reminder that if you give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, but if you give a monkey a beer and some fireworks now you’ve got a party.

AI tech bros promising to allow you to talk to a digital simulacrum of your dead relatives as a false comfort during your natural process of grief are, I’m afraid, in contravention of the 1736 Witchcraft Act, the 1951 Fraudulent Mediums Act, and should be hanged. I don’t make the rules.

Sure, the issue is mental health, not gun control. Specifically, the mental health of people opposing gun control.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Currently reading 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' for the first time. I'm enjoying it, but it's a bit slow. Is there a law that says fantasy books have to be a thousand pages long?

I was going up the Stretton hills today with cheese sandwiches and a camera, but I'm not because trains. Boo trains.

Since the world persists in being comprehensively shit I'm turning the internet off and reading a book (I think I'll re-read Pratchett's Night Watch) drinking a beer (Mad Goose) and listening to tunes (currently Lloyd Cole's first solo album)
