I know the forthcoming album is bound to be great, but I think I could happily listen to The Last Man on Earth on repeat until I died anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs2a... #WolfAlice

Stop what you're doing and look at our lovely new book trolleys. ❤️

Four years ago this week, Hobbes suddenly appeared in "Bloom County" and if that wasn't Watterson drawing his moments, I don't know what to think. I just remember this catching me in the bits of me that get *really* sentimental and emotional.

Stayed at an old motel, in a quiet Kansas town, hanging on by the skin of its teeth.

On the down side, most things in my house have just rebooted several times because of momentary power cuts. On the plus side, my internet is definitely all plugged in to the UPS now and at least that stayed up.

One of the big problems with moving to text-based work conversation post-Covid is the realisation that your colleagues are mostly fucking illiterate.

Now well into the third hour of waiting for Openreach to turn up. I'd forgotten how annoying this could be.

Apparently this deal is 1) on all month on Kindle 2) also on Kobo! www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/...

Really looking forward to the next AI winter.

Just done my *second* unrelated returning-ID-cards-to-owners good deed of the day. Dear Bristol, please stop scattering your important personal ID documents around like confetti. 🎉

Good start. #Wordle 1,434 3/6 🟨🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Oooh. First time I've been offered the choice to select a particular clinic for my NHS referral, where I can choose based on waiting times and distance from me! And... it's a list of one clinic.

Your reminder that someone can appear to be at the top (of the world, of their field, etc) and feel rather dramatically differently. I'm glad Jim worked through his issues, is still here with us and is still writing the books so many people love. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/b...

The cyber attack I can understand. But just been to local M&S following its refit and it’s all fecking self-checkouts arrayed below a giant advertising telly. Where’s the competent array of friendly people who actually know how to fold stuff? This is horrible.

RIP Joe Don Baker. Might be time for an Edge of Darkness re-watch!

Hand of the River God, by Vincent Woropay, Baltic Wharf, #Bristol. I took this ca. 1996, so it still had the small figure of Hercules carrying an obelisk which was later stolen and I don't think has been seen since 1998.
