“The algorithm is great at finding me new music in the limited style I listen to,” he writes. “But it is really bad at showing me something new and different. My listening has become homogeneous, even though I can pick any album ever created.” ——— Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before…

I wonder if junior will complete his tribute act now by impacting several pounds of meat up his butt

Ouais mecs

I'm addicted to Brìghde Chaimbeul now. Thanks @wyrdscience.bsky.social for a new rabbit-hole. youtu.be/ZPGthC8_CyM

Clearly an excellent way to spend a Saturday afternoon

Just incredibly tiring to know that for the rest of our lives we’re going to be dealing, every day, with the moustache twirling bullshit of The League of Unfuckable Men

Low key hate myself for this but tempted to grab the little plant man along with the vinyl 🤪 www.sacredbonesrecords.com/collections/...

My first 5 RPGs AD&D Star Wars (WEG) Dragon Warriors WFRP Paranoia or Judge Dredd

have to say after this week I am becoming incredibly into this genre of book that can best be described as: 360 million years ago our vertebrate ancestors crawled out of the ocean....

“What’s that sir? Eleven days out from an election we’re already deep underwater in you want to make sure that for the next week every single Republican within 50ft of a microphone will be made to go on record as being pro-nonce? Masterful gambit sir”

A quarter pounder with geas

Why do bash “dead-beat” kids for not being there for their parents but we never question if the old folk have bad vibes?

Being a dogshit opinion haver is such an incredible job.

Trying to read more fiction, which is having the inevitable, grotesque, side effect of making me want to try and write fiction again. Terrible.

Have to say, quite into this

It’s not looking good 😤

Ok, finished this. I think my big takeaway is that if someone shows me a map and says, right… we’re going to sail past Port Famine, navigate both the Bays of Sorrows & Pain and plot a course through the Blind Horn’s Hate to make camp at Mount Misery, I would simply not

soon ——————— a little teaser of something @frederikhornung.com has cooked up for us

Office sort out day, just unearthed a very dusty box with loads of copies of Headpress from the 90s, absolutely seminal (in so many ways) zine/mag/journal/thing. So fascinatingly OF ITS TIME in so many ways

having a Fall day, wanted to check something and was reminded that despite going 42 years and having had approximately 1000 members, very very early bassist Eric McGann still wins the award for best reason for leaving the band

Out of interest, who do you think will be the first Republican to quote this if/when Democrats have any power and even the most milquetoast effort is made to dig into their recent crime spree?

Yes, yes. New album and EU tour announced from my bestest boys @hotchipofficial.bsky.social

Life is unpredictable but if there’s one thing that we’ve learnt it’s that as soon as we send a new issue off to the printers we spot something we’d loved to have featured in it… Anyway, just saw this… www.nemastudios.com/collections/...

Nuclear skyline tonight

Well, London was fun, best city in the world, now for a slight change of pace at the in-laws

Can’t believe someone allowed racist nonces into the racist nonce party smh

In case you’re wondering what that sound is, it’s thousands of people scrabbling to be the first to get ‘Donald Trump Hating, Left Wing, Transgender Witch’ t-shirts up on sale

On train heading up to the Tate to check out the 90s exhibition, trying to decide if I should pin roll my jeans

Just found out there a pinball machine museum in Bruxelles so that’s next week’s day off sorted www.instagram.com/p/Dd4gU5bg87...

Oh, go on then

Shout out to the place tonight where I ordered a whiskey sour, of I should say a menu with 5 cocktails on of which that was one, and was given a can of Fanta and a Jack Daniel’s miniature Incredible work all round

Working through boxes of stuff that’s been sent over since I was last in the UK and sorry publishers of what I’ll presume to all be very cool games, but so far this is the one that got loudest hell yeah upon opening

Talking of magazines, having both been asked if we want to do it and run the numbers many times over the last couple of years, it never ceases to amaze me quite how much WH Smith’s charges to have your mag unceremoniously shoved at worm’s eye level under a load of other stuff and behind a display

Tfw you find your dream sweater and it’s £830 🧐 Any chance that hot viral trend for young people embracing analogue/physical experiences could reach the tabletop game magazine market sooner rather than later please

Genuinely bizarre how getting on the Eurostar used to be such a breeze, like 5 or if it was busy 10 minutes or so and you were on the lounge, and now it’s like 40 minutes to an hour of queue after queue

This cost of living crisis is out of control

Oh, seeing some incredibly normal reactions to that Narnia trailer

Big day, I can now ask for tea with milk and I think speak more Irish than roughly the last four generations of my family that never left Wexford

“Trying to quantify exactly how much worse is very subjective and can also seem calculating but here’s several spreadsheets I just happen to have that works out the value of a life based on the diameter of someone’s skull”
