I have approximate knowledge of some things. Expect software development, public sector digital, arts/humanities, games, tennis, and dog chatter

Hamilton is good. Lin-Manuel Miranda is in fact extremely good at his job. Sorry, that's just how it is.
I have somewhat neglected learn go with tests over the past year. It had collected about 50 odd issues and 20 PRs, which, with help from my robot friend (kept on a short leash I promise), I have mostly addressed. First release in a while! github.com/quii/learn-g... #golang #tdd

Put Revolver on the record player and managed to successfully put the needle exactly on the start of Tomorrow Never Knows. I am now Don Draper
Some very good responses here. The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's would be my top choice A few more: Queen: Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera Led Zeppelin: IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti Muse: Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations
Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4w agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
Using the Apple Music Classical app for the first time in a couple years or so. The listening guide is a great addition
A billion listens later, and the way I Want You (She’s So Heavy) cuts off mid-riff still gets me
On the jubilee line to Stratford cos the Elizabeth line has severe delays and oh my god it is so hot in here
Bring the Your Name 10 year anniversary screenings to the U.K. pls
Rubber Soul is the best and I’ve been waiting for a new mix for yonks www.thebeatles.com/rubber-soul-...

Made the mistake of going into a couple of the art galleries in town and deciding I need to spend my next payslip on a bunch of new abstract acrylics. Anyway, Phil Selwood and Melanie Tong both have wonderful pieces. There are some talented local artists in east Kent
TIL there is such a thing as "white wine glasses" and "red wine glasses"
The thing about listening to Led Zeppelin IV again is that now all I can think about are the drums to When The Levee Breaks
Something very peaceful about sitting in front of the turntable, listening to Robert Plant screech all manner of tones and textures in Misty Mountain Hop
Had a rough day yesterday, so naturally I impulse bought a turntable and Led Zeppelin IV
The gear change indicator in my little vw up seems to now think I want to drop from 2nd to 1st when I’m driving at 15mph. Not convinced about that one (the car drives fine, no issues)
I tend to use the Mutuals feed on bsky a lot because I’d otherwise miss a lot of posts from people I’m interested in. Anyway the mutuals feed has been borked for me over the last few days which has diminished my bsky experience quite a bit
Somehow managed to walk just over 29km around Epping Forest and then Theydon Bois to Woodford, which was surprisingly satisfying. Epping Forest is particularly nice
Origin of Symmetry is such a good album. Early Muse was something else
Check out my article on Pokopia, cosy games and the problem of escapism for Red Pepper Magazine! Writing this was felt a little like a nostalgic trip back to (games) journalism www.redpepper.org.uk/culture-medi...
