What if Johnny Cash didn’t cover NIN’s Hurt for American IV but instead covered Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit?

New Years resolution for everyone. Retire using "cooked" for absolutely everything. It's done its time now, let it just be for food again.

Listening to Down on the Upside and Soundgarden were just so dialled in. It’s incredible. It’s only because it followed Superunknown that it met with mixed reviews. If it followed Badmotorfinger, it would have been glowing across the board.

I ordered a new monitor off Amazon and it said it was arriving Sunday. As my CC had t been charged I check the email and it says arriving Sunday… 11 January 2026. WTF? Did I totally misread that when I hiy buy? I tidied my desk and everything.

I've got a trial sub to OS Maps and looks at route in the Bristol area, on the first page is this route by My Black Dog, and it's a route from Clifton Suspension Bridge to Beachy Head... Both suicide hotspots...

I know I've said this before, but honestly, every photo I see of Wes Streeting, he has the look of a man who just spotted someone in the pub that he owes twenty quid.

I know going to see Counting Crows is desperately uncool but not as uncool as the guy up in the circle of the Manchester gig tonight that was so fucking hammered and belligerent that security removed him. Kicked out of a counting crows gig. Fuck me, that’s sad.

He sacrifices the ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!

Trying to turn this rut into a deep groove.

and he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK! @gothamchess.bsky.social

Well, that didn't take long... Thing that was presented as a real risk of omnipresent online ID verification rolled out by the UK government with the Online Safety Act gets the speedrun treatment by hacker eyeing a juicy prize. lol lmao

This seems all very normal and cool. #imgur #internetsafetyact #uk

Kudos to the F1rst Lady who is white knuckling the shovel until she hits pay dirt.

Rambo’s knife was the OG EDC.

Ah yes, ID cards, the Labour panacea.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

I love how the Japanese ambassador to the UK is fully integrated, hanging out with chaps called Andy and smashing full pints.

Are people still getting Radiohead code confirmation emails? Haven't received anything yet.

Listening to a lot of emergency pods today.

Ohio by CSNY feeling pretty relevant again.

I would like to be able to lose two stone very easily as feeling very out of shape. I would also like to be able to eat 5-8 bags of crisps a day.

Wes Streeting wants the police to focus on “policing street and not tweets” only weeks after police heavy handedly policed peaceful octogenarian protesters in central London of holding homemade sign (analog tweets). Unequivocal hypocrisy.

Playing XCOM 2 and I'd left the blacksite mission quite late on, but took in a pretty nails squad. All going well, until I grabbed the vial and hit the exit and a turret downed the carrier, so now I have to go pick them and the vial up and carry to evac. Only the Chosen turns up and kills everyone.

Just downloaded and deleted 666 videos from my iCloud, totalling 55gb. 2017-2020. Oof.

Alien Earth is surprisingly… fun? The first two episodes have set a much goofier tone than I’d ever anticipated. When I first heard about it I wasn’t that interested about the corpo angle, but now I wanna see Syndicate-style corpo war. It’s dipping into a lot of influences as it goes.

Just had a demand for my yearly building’s insurance and it’s £200 less than it was last year. That probably has nothing to do with landlords arranging massive commissions to their brokers who then kick back most of it to the Landlords and that practice being outlawed y the government, does it?

Usually just stuff about how much his football team sucked - posting the score when they lost, championing the rival team. One time he actually said to me, “I think the guy in the flat below really hates Man U.” “Mate, I know nothing about football,” said I.

Throw back to when I last shared a house and I created lots of virtual SSNs off our shared router to needle my housemate, by periodically booting his MAC address off so he would have to see the list of WiFi networks when he next opened his laptop.

Me, a 45 year old man, listening to Masterpiece by Big Thief on repeat.

There is a line in Viagra Boy’s Man Made of Meat that goes “I don’t wanna pay for anything, clothes and food and drugs for free” and assuming that we’re talking about pharmaceutical drugs, rather than recreational, this is as very compelling argument for universal basic income.

Not now, radioactive wasps!

Those Uber adverts about how you can get train tickets and patrons are acting like trains are their cab inadvertently highlights how obnoxious cabs are.

Dune Buggy

Me at yoga.

I’m not sure how I feel about podcasts posting videos. I was much happier when I was incapable of identifying a podcaster in public.

Wait… did Robert Smith play with Olivia Rodrigo so he could get one ahead again of Chris Martin for number of times they’d played the headline slot of Glastonbury?? Shrewd move, Mr Smith. Shrewd move.

I genuinely think 90% of the Glasto blues is sleep deprivation and dehydration.
