Awful news to hear. A mere two years older than me too. For those of us who are / were involved in the synthwave scene and community, or were inspired by Kavinsky's work (of course heard in the influential movie, Drive), this is deeply sad and challenging news to soak in. RIP Kavinsky.

Check your bowels, guys. After years of problems, a rather unpleasant sigmoidoscopy procedure today diagnosed diverticular disease. Rather that than anything more sinister! God bless the NHS though; all free (i.e paid for by my taxes), and each specialist had a smile, good humour & kindness.

I look like this because 1/3 of my bowel had just been examined via you know where. But it's okay, guys.

I just endured a video from Keir Starmer on his LinkedIn, trying to cement his legacy or something. But the captions are autogenerated and when one woman says "when I first met Sir Keir Starmer" it reads beneath: "When I first met Sockeye Salmon" and so that is his name forever now.

Metaphor Klaxon in action again. Trump has poisoned the air over DC with his July 4 fireworks. A smog filled with microscopic particulates still hovers over the capital, making it potentially harmful to exert yourself outdoors. Code Purple alert now in operation.

Incredible to be able to get resale tickets at Wimbledon yesterday to witness Serena Williams playing. She put up a huge effort to challenge Maya Joint; the younger player eventually taking the 3rd set to win. What a legend though.
