That was a painful game of football to watch. #Scotland
I mean I'm not surprised about them shutting down BBC Scotland, BBC never really cared about Scotland, this is cultural vandalism
Richard Herring@herring1967.bsky.social · 4w agoIf closing surely the least expensive radio channel the BBC has (run by a tiny number of people, broadcasting the work of mainly dead people), bothers you, then why not sign this petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...
It's been a long time since I was this excited about a new album. Credo are such an underrated band #progrock
Got tickets to see her in Chester in April, she is well worth going to see
Rachel Parris@rachelparris.bsky.social · last mo.Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶
There is something rather wonderful about these little animations @canongate.co.uk have been putting out to go with the wonderful Lanark by Alasdair Gray. Whoever decided Alan Cumming should be the narrator deserves a raise. youtu.be/JmIqzUxcCB0?...

Eight years since his last Black Arrow, AEW World Champion Will Ospreay knew exactly when to bring it back. For PAC. 🖤
Just finished watching last nights AEW Dynamite, the Pac special. I hate that AEW have to do these shows, but omg are they good at them. The respect, the emotion just flowed out of it. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a few tears. God Speed Pac #aew
I have an annual sub to Toms website, and it's stuff like this that makes it more than worth the money
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis week I wrote a little essay about my time as a teenage fanzine writer. The full piece is available to read for all paying subscribers (it's only £1.66 a month if you want to do it the cheapest way). www.tom-cox.com/eaten-words-...
The wonderful folk at @okcomics.bsky.social have done it again. I do love getting post from them. Didn't know the Andi Watson existed, so it's always worth browsing their shop
Always lovely to get book post you completely forgot about. Look forward to diving into this one. Thanks @quantick.bsky.social
Largest #lego set I've ever done. Close to 30 bags, took a week to build. Looks beautiful
Highly recommended. Go follow Tom and buy a book. Or enter his giveaway. Or why not do both

So wish I was in New York tonight. Seen #DeepPurple so many times, and #Blackmore so many times, but never together. www.loudersound.com/bands-artist...
Ritchie Blackmore is planning on playing with Deep Purple tonight, an occurrence more rare than today's total solar eclipse
Ritchie Blackmore will join Deep Purple onstage tonight for the first time since 1993

Sorting out some of my Father-in-laws papers and came across this he had published in Nature. #chemsky
Not picked these up because cars aren't my thing, but first time I've seen them in the wild. Wonder if it'll make a dent in #lego sales
This is quite possibly one of the saddest things I've read
Hagai Palevsky (he/him)@dialhforhagai.bsky.social · 4mo agoWile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him
This one post makes subscribing to Toms site worth the years subscription
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 4mo agoI wrote some stuff about herring gulls and how brilliant they are. Even when they sneak into your house and freak out your normally mellow cat. You can read the full thing here if you're a subscriber to my site (it's really fucking cheap if you want it to be): www.tom-cox.com/its-a-herrin...
