Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Games, books and West Ham content. Also, quite possibly, photos of my dog
Just bought my first West Ham tickets of the season, proving yet again the triumph of hope over experience. COYI, etc
The aerial view of parched Blackheath has been doing the rounds in the media. I was there in April, visiting my daughter, and it was so much different
love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts
I usually wait for the cup to be lifted, but if it is going to be offered by Tr*mp, I’m off to bed
Vibes of 1990 WC Final with that. The ‘right’ team winning against an anti-football team.
Scrap the Romesh thing just clip Wayne Rooney saying he thought the half time show was crap and the licence fee QR code
I am glad that the next time the World Cup is held in the USA, I will likely be dead. This is bollocks.
Periodic reminder that my then-11yo sister and our aunt went to see this…eclectic…line-up in Tooting well before I was born
This is all a bit ‘two Premier League teams playing a pre season friendly in the Far East’
In a productive afternoon, I also finished Absolution. When I saw it in the bookshop, I wasn’t entirely sure it was necessary (Southern Reach ‘trilogy’ seemed concluded) but I really enjoyed it - perhaps my favourite since Annihilation www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
Absolution (Southern Reach, #4)
TOP SECRET: A clear and present threat exists. Open-end…

Finally getting around to my birthday Lego. Bloody life and responsibilities, getting in the way
Thought it was a pen in real time. Looked more doubtful in a replay. Clear and obvious error? Not sure. Looking forward to the VAR-free Championship next year. ⚒️
TV can have as many ex-refs as it likes, but if that’s a penalty, I’m a banana. VAR is shit.
Even if the score stays the same, the way things are going, the added time will have me up until my alarm goes off for work 😴
Highway Encounter featured in this month’s @retrogamermag.bsky.social . My favourite Spectrum game, and the first game I ever dreamt about. My dream about the game’s ending would’ve taken about 20+ years of further videogame hardware evolution to be achieved! Astonishingly 40+ years ago 👴🏼
Amazon has cancelled my Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave bougie edition 😔. Tax Amazon now!
My daughter (with whom I’ve played a lot of Nintendo games over the years) bought me this book, not for Father’s Day but for my birthday last month. It’s great - highly recommended 😎
