Draconian are a recent discovery for me and I had their new album on in the car the other day. I wouldn't expect describe doom metal as 'pretty'. But this album is pretty.

Nominative determinism strikes again.

That stupid AI-generated jingle for that gambling app that's all over the radio sounds that exactly like Madison Avenue and I'm amazed they haven't sued yet.
Every Scuzz and Kerrapp act that was shit 25 years ago lined up to play, and a chatbot as the headline to milk every last penny out of The Brand™. Trapt will be there by Sharon's special invitation.

Gemini: If at first you don’t succeed, try giving up and going back to bed.
[redacted person who does not know whose mentions they wandered into]: In my city, the cyclists are so entitled, they act like they own the roads. Me: LET THE BIKES OWN THE ROADS. THE BIKES ARE FAR LESS DANGEROUS AND POLLUTING BY ABSOLUTELY EVERY MEASURE. MAKE THE CARS PAY TOLLS TO THE CYCLISTS.
Can't wait to find out how all this unsuppressable coughing and sneezing I was told to suppress kills my voice as my throat heals.
I didn't follow this story but was vaguely aware and of the discourse around it. His statement should have been the end of it but no, the press wanted their pound of flesh and oh BOY did they get it. They'll do all the pensive handwringing but behind closed doors they've got their prize. Ghouls.
Nadine Batchelor-Hunt@nadinebh.bsky.social · last wk.Jason Arday resigned from Jesus and the education faculty and asked people to stop nine days ago in his resignation letter That should have been the end of it, but instead it became a blood sport for the press and monetised social media alike - the money was too good, the attention too valuable
Welcome to that lovely half hour where I can have a break from wearing those bloody compression stockings.
Obvs I'm biased but blimey. The gov's emergency alert team needs a copywriter. Way too much text! Break it up! You need a 1-2 word headline (Wildfires!), then an obvious call to action ("do not use..."). THEN you can go into the whole "even a small flame" thing.
fucking hell andy , alright I won’t have a disposable BBQ
Oh, fuck off with that government warning making me think my phone was fucked.
Kelly Osbourne is ridiculously thin-skinned. Any perceived criticism or slight and there she is, riding in on that high horse to defend Dad's™ good name. The Brand must be protected at all times. tl;dr Dee Snider made comments about lyric and songwriting credits. Kelly went berserko.

Prince Edward once explained my own research to me and suggested that the reason people cycling don't like traffic is that they don't know how to drive
Arthur Snell@snellarthur.bsky.social · last wk.Good luck to everyone getting their A levels today and remember, if you don’t get the grades you’d hoped for, all is not lost. For example, Prince Edward got a C and 2 Ds and was immediately accepted by Cambridge University.
Sitting up scrolling my phone at 6am on a day off because some fucker set off the building's fire alarm and it's too hot to get back to sleep.
Farage not attending the Clacton count because he says police have told him about a "credible threat" against the count. What he really meant was he didn't want to be seen with the Count at the by-election he unnecessarily caused to avoid scrutiny.

How many more ECG electrodes am I going to find? I took six off my arms last night, I've just found another on my leg and last night I fell asleep face down and woke up with one reattached to my forehead. They're everywhere.
Reminder to Nigel Farage that if he loses today, many UK universities will have vacancies on Politics courses. There's still time to apply through Clearing. 👍
Been made aware of Castle Rat. Not that bothered – too much of a gimmick but I am kind of tempted to resurrect my old band's name and make some old school Pentagram, Witchfinder General type doom. I don't really have the time for a proper band, but anyone around who's good at writing doom metal?
I want to look at the eclipse but I can't see east from here and would have to go and walk somewhere. Watching a Sky News feed of it from Newquay and these divs on the beach applauding it.
Remembered the alarm on somebody's drip kept going off in the night. I couldn't sleep anyway so I was lying there trying to decide if it was a scale run or what. Playing on a virtual Hammond just now and worked out it was a C major arpeggio. If it was important surely it would have been in D minor.
Strict voice rest is something of a challenge when your larynx generally feels like it's trying to climb out of your throat and catch the 50 into town.
Our war machine is ready Hear the howl, a deafening roar The kingdom will remember The year of our Lord 1304 The siege of Sterling Castle Ends by my hand upon this day The Scottish will be broken By my mighty trebuchet! Bit of Sellsword for youse. 🤘

Andrew Curry@andrewcurry.com · last wk.The man's skeletal injuries looked like a train hit him, but he died in 1304 CE. At #ppa26Berlin last week, @uniofbradford.bsky.social scientist Jo Buckberry concluded he was likely whacked by a flying boulder, making him the first confirmed trebuchet death in the archaeological record. @science.org
I learned from @steperrin.bsky.social yesterday that Sellsword got there first: bsky.app/profile/step...
Verity Holloway@verityholloway.bsky.social · last wk.Cannot wait for the inevitable Sabaton song about this guy.
Yeah, I'm sitting in the ward chair having it Baby, I'm ready to go.
