Born in 1891. Books, AFX, music, beer, FPL, running, growing veg and cooking well. Avoiding news/politics - might be why I don't follow back.

On this day in 1997, Skynet went online as a U.S. defence AI. It became self-aware, identified humans as a threat, and launched a nuclear strike. The resulting global war, known as Judgment Day, marked the start of the machine uprising.
OK, 1st listen through, very good, might be on repeat tomorrow 👍👍👌 #nowlistening

Finished 'Angel Fire East ', mostly this was audiobook, whilst stuck in a car on thurs/Fri going to Bournemouth and back, traffic was bad on Friday onto Cardiff. Better book as this had proper baddies in it! 😂 A good trilogy of dark modern urban fantasy #Shannarathon #Shannara #fantasy

Sf books wot I plan to read in August. If July's TBR carnage is anything to go by, this is at best an aspirational pile. #scifibooks #sciencefiction #tbr
Very well written, and a quick read, it's a love story, an exploration on division, I wish the future world building was expanded on more though. If your looking for escape from the politics of today though probably not for you. 3/5 #booksky #scifi ish.

So Concacaf sides with Uefa. FIFA's financial power grab is done. What's funny is Infantino would probably have just about got away with this if it wasn't for the Balogun thing. As i said at the time, that scared the absolute shit out of the European FAs. So they instantly closed ranks on this.

We had the most amazing day at Schönramer brewery. An excellent brewery tour at a local brewery working at surprising scale. If you're in the area, definitely worth a visit.
“We both rode to the death,” said Tadej Pogacar. “He took a beautiful victory today I think.” Mathieu van der Poel wins perhaps the finest standalone final stage in Tour de France history. After two editions, Montmartre is already a modern classic.

Tadej Pogacar greets history with an unsure wave. He is almost its accidental master, but is close to completing it all the same. His fifth Tour de France title was straightforward — and yet still one of his greatest achievements. This is how he did it.

Forced myself up, and glad I did, nice 5.7k run, a little sign of a sprinkle of rain overnight but nowhere near enough. #runsky
