I’m sorry to keep banging on about this but if someone told me they couldn’t do their job without consulting their imaginary friend and the wrong answer generator I’d just take that to mean that they couldn’t do their job.

It is somewhat hilarious that Chris Nolan has made 2(4, technically) movies about famous heroes who are iconically known for their cleverness, brilliance, tricks, & polyamory & turned them both into heroes primarily defined by the ability to endure suffering & pain & their deep romantic commitment.
The telly people have been on again. They're almost perennially keen to have me on one of their awful 'boat life' shows, despite the fact I'd spend the whole time going "don't buy a boat". The only thing that tempts me is how cross @yakhunt.net would be if I was on his telly one night
Bede's World! Bede's World! Party time! Venerable!
Hating the Irish is their bedrock. Their original mark 1 racism. Sometimes it gets buried by the newer versions of racism but it’s always there and they are always delighted to bring it out and dust it off.
I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm
Anyway, @salix.bsky.social and I went to see the Saw Doctors again this weekend at Wickham Festival, so she got to hear me cry-singing along to all the lovely songs a load of friends belt out together. Proper lovely stuff, every time.
All the 'best' or 'greatest' arguments are tedious and smack of the 'well actually' crowd of (mostly) dull men, so I don't argue of a better or worse ranking, but my contribution is summarised by this: on Saturday I bought yet another copy of Turin Brakes' The Optimist LP (2001), which I then

I’ve created some prints of my Trebah Gardens art - of the beautiful and magical Mallard Pond which is like Monet’s waterlillies writ large amidst a host of hydrangeas… painted while best by flitting damselflies - it was like a fairyland Prints from £25 ko-fi.com/s/1db3800e9b #ukgiftam #bsnm #art

It’s particularly egregious with campus bullshit, where there’s always some new trendy Afro-lesbionics researcher to hunt and shred, just as there’s forever some mean-as-fuck head-measuring crackpot who must be defended to the death over his “Rhodesia did nothing wrong” thesis, or freedom dies.
Gee whizz, is that yet another left wing/black/transgender/whatever person who has done something terrible? How fortunate we are have a national press that is ever microscopically vigilant for the crimes of uppity Bolshevik Muslims, and will not tolerate one moment of their troublemaking.
Whilst it's always nice to see Sam Altman being dunked on, the idea of talking to children on the school run is frankly preposterous; those things are fucking mental first thing in the morning when they've just been charged up and then filled with breakfast.
Absolutely cannot get this Sam Altman face out of my head. Every time I see a photo of him, I instantly think of this brilliant @stephencollins.bsky.social silent 'face'.
Woke early to the sound of deep rumbling outside. 'Oh thank god' I thought, imagining the thunder storm we are so desperate for. Turns out it was a farm trailer bouncing over a nearby canal bridge. Bollocks.

...a few years ago we did some Zippy content and were contacted by Tom Hayes, regular listener of the pod and son of Geoffrey. He informed us that Zippy and George were happily living out their retirement with Tom's mum following the passing of his dad in 2018... 2/3
