Books and music and films and dogs and Stoke City FC.
I was getting a bit concerned by all the people who created AI saying that AI will probably kill everyone in the next few years but then I just saw Donald Trump say there's nothing to worry about so that's a big PHEW!
A heartwarming post to banish those Sunday night blues.
Richard Balls@musicbiographer.bsky.social · yesterdayAt the start of this year, Sarah was in a puppy mill in northern China, and suffering unimaginable conditions. Today she was happily splashing about in a Norfolk river and fetching sticks. Such a happy girl and loving her new life. #rescuedog #norfolk #china
Tonight’s ‘up the potters’ soundtrack has revolved around Junior Murvin, Thin Lizzy and the Human League. You can’t call it contemporary but you can call it fucking great.
Make a band edible: Sage of Chance

Having a little drink because it’s not every season Stoke win away.
Trying to win a popularity contest against the fucking RNLI is one of the stupidest gambits every attempted by anyone ever. Jeez. It's like trying to ban Paddington or something...
Dee Lomas@deelomas.bsky.social · 4d agoThe RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!
Just imagine if Trump had been in charge in 2001. Actually, don’t.
#dailygratitude 10th September - I’m grateful to the RNLI and their daily heroism and selflessness. They are true British patriotic people; people who volunteer to make the nations of the UK safer and better.
I suppose if you’re American it would seem like The Fall were actually called Autumn which isn’t necessarily a bad name for a band but it does conjure up open-necked shirts and acoustic guitars rather than lager-soaked Mancunian krautabilly.
Spotting famous actors in Cheers (before they were particularly famous). Part 2 in an occasional series. Walter Olkewicz as Wally Bodell, Norm’s rival for Vera’s affections in 1983. Went on to play Jacques Renault in Twin Peaks 🦉
Can’t say Stoke got away with murder at Cardiff because it was only a draw but let’s say we got away with manslaughter.
You know who doesn’t get enough stick? The bastards who get up in the middle of the night for no money to sail out in a storm and see if they can save anyone off a sinking boat. Absolute twats.
Whenever our Billy meets another dog in the street he’s not aggro or anything he just hares off dragging me with him to wherever he thinks that dog last had a leak. Nice to put a smell to a face I guess.
Just finished watching Colin From Accounts 3. Perfect again. The writing is so great and the cast just elevate it to beyond. Quite an achievement to be so sardonic yet so humane at the same time. Plus Colin himself is obviously the cutest little McGuffin in TV history.
On this day in 1972 David Bowie was doing his Ziggy thing at the Top Rank in Hanley. Bingo hall now I think.
Checking out the Booker noms as and when I spot em in the library and I fair flew through this one today. An original and thoughtful page-turner. Possibly helps that I used to arrange museum displays for a living but don’t go thinking that’s a requirement. Definitely a recommend 👍🏼
I used to enjoy putting Frank Zappa’s Gumbo Variations on the jukebox at the Old Brown Jug for the same glow of VFM. Not my problem if the other patrons had ears of cloth.
RadioFreeBronx | MD ANT 🥇@radiofreebronx.bsky.social · last wk.Just put on “Diamond Sea” by Sonic Youth at the pub. Best 25 mins for 2 credits everrrr 💀
Well the Sky adaptation of Station Eleven is a lot dafter than I remember the book being but then that's the telly for you.
Apologies to any Villa and/or Scotland supporters for nicking your gag but on today’s evidence I think we’ve found our McGlynniesta ⚽️
Well I made it to half time at least. Cheers all 🍻
GlennA@glennairey.bsky.social · last wk.A 12.30 kick off for Stoke means the London Road is alive with breakfast-time drinkers. Good luck to all concerned but I’m such a goody two shoes nowadays that even immediately post-match will probably feel a bit early for me today. A lot will depend on the result tbh.

I gather Farridge wants to exhume Louis Napoleon now and send him back to France. Surprised he’s not more of a fan considering Nap III volunteered as a special constable in 1848 to break some Chartist heads. Either way I’m not sure it’s the policy the man on the Clacton omnibus is crying out for.
Lovely song on the new Dexys album about Kevin’s reconciliation and caring for his dad before the old boy died. Once A Man and Twice A Child ♥️
Well I’ve woken up to a few more of these than I was expecting.
Chris Mason is crying inside. He gave that man the best years of his life.
