Repost with your Friday energy. Repost with your mental state. Pick a single image from your gallery that represents your Bluesky posting style. It’s this. It’s always this. My energy going into 2025 will be this.

What’s the flare along the bottom of numerous shots in ‘Below’?

G U S T O

Autocorrect just had the absolute audacity to insert a full stop and start a new sentence.

I have this very specific weird recollection from the late twentieth century, of putting the plug in the bathroom sink, then turning a tap on, and the water from the tap just *stayed in the sink*, instead of draining away slowly like it does these days. That can’t be right, can it?

James Bolam as Gurney Halleck

Unearthed a BFI DVD of Patrick Keiller’s ‘Robinson in Space’ in a Tyvek sleeve. Unexpected, but what’s really intriguing is – it’s a LoveFilm* disc. Maybe I had it out when they ceased trading? Surely I’d have returned it anyway? *DVD rental by post, like Netflix’s original model

Forget it, Charlie Brown. It's Chinatown.

Oh fucking heck, I was just thinking THIS AFTERNOON, “Which Alien cast members died?” and I actually thought Tom Skerritt died a few years ago, leaving only Sigourney Weaver and Veronica Cartwright. Ugh.

Wearing my cap at a jaunty angle so everybody can see I’m a happy-go-lucky scamp.

Yoghurt chat with Mum. The situation is satisfactory.

I find myself listening to what would have been the most insufferably hipsterical track of 2006, but it came out in 2016. Anyway, it’s Soulwax with spoken vocals by Chloë Sevigny.

It worked for 6 Music.

Well, the weather's changed. I'm wearing slightly too small marl grey fleece-lined trackies for an unflattering 'open prison' look.

There’s going to be a lot of genAI Remembrance Day material this year, isn’t there? Many respect.

The Underground isn’t as extensive as ‘U.K.’s famous tube system’ suggests.

Good use of a Melbourne wall.

Today’s interesting music choices (2 of 2): car in stationary traffic blasting Stand By Me

What was your made-up high school ska band called?
