22 years ago today since @nmtdrzine.bsky.social and I started going out.

It’s 36 years ago today that Jerry Garcia passed away. Now Spinning: Cornell 8th May 1977 - The Grateful Dead.

Clacton by-election contender @countbinface.bsky.social is the star of his own (highly unofficial) comic, thanks to @selfmadehero.bsky.social and a host of British comic talent. My piece for today's @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Count Binface becomes a comic-book hero | The Observer

As his Clacton byelection clash with Nigel Farage approaches, the intergalactic candidate and his mission to take out the trash are being celebrated in an anthology by a host of graphic artists

@kehaar.bsky.social I’m sure you’ve seen it but I just watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and it felt right up your street.

I think this means nobody likes me?

Basically, I say the same old shit over and over again. But not at night. b.mino.mobi/palm/

Just been to the dentist, apparently I’m a Night Biter which is not a cool name for a vampire, it’s someone who crunches, and unfortunately cracks, their teeth while they sleep. Kat always says my side of the bed looks like I’ve had a fight with myself and apparently my teeth do too.

Pope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.

I have a piece in this. It’s my review of @breakfastruins.bsky.social mini con Rolling in the Ruins but don’t buy it for that, buy it for @jwmuk.bsky.social’s excellent Blade Runner: Replicant Rebellion review.

What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favourite. The one that lingered. Antony Gormley: Sound II

I keep telling @nmtdrzine.bsky.social she’s shorter than me. At M C Escher at Somerset House.

Apparently Robert Jenrick watched the England game in a pub in Newark, seems appropriate given that Newark is an anagram of Wanker.

I generally avoid Faffbook these days for the same reason as every other sane person but sometimes the Memories section is interesting. Apparently it’s 10 years since I switched to DE Safety Razor shaving from the multiblade cartridges. I’d never go back.

Spiritual ambient guitar inspired by Austin Osman Spare. Now playing: Chance Encounters in the Garden of Lights - Bill Nelson.

Thanks @dancingmonk.bsky.social for inspiring me to buy this.

Remember the Monster Raving Looney Party policies looked silly at first but a surprising number of them became laws.

Reform is a cult of personality, not only can it not survive without Farage he wouldn’t let it survive without him that’s why he can’t do the sensible thing which is to let Reform stand a different candidate in Clacton who would probably win a proper by-election.

Now Playing: Inspired by the chat on here this morning.
