To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

The new Asterix & Obelix animated series on Netflix is really funny, and also absolutely gorgeous.

Do you think labour's fanatical devotion to transphobia has gotten them a single or double digit number of votes from transphobes? I mean it's not going to be more than that, given that in their public showings GCs can be counted on the fingers of two hands at most and they all vote tory or reform.

Here is a radical suggestion.Perhaps party strategists all over the UK should step back from their focus groups for two minutes and think less about how to campaign, and more why they want to win. What is your plan for the country? Make up your mind, then try to sell it. Old-fashioned, I know.

Labour's base-punching strategy reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is so obsessed with making Jerry's girlfriend like him (she clearly hates him) that he neglects his own girlfriend (who does like him) and she leaves him

It's been a scorcher here in West Dorset today. And now we've got a summer thunder storm. Love that.

Maybe when I tell my grandkids I was a video game writer they'll wonder what that was. It seems like a profession that's being crushed out of existence. Some may not think that's a big deal. But I believe discussion of the arts is vital, and games are an art form, as is games criticism.

It's a special sort of hell to read that a site you helped to create is being chummed in a site you also helped create that was already chummed.

#nowplaying Luciferian Light Orchestra. Their eponymous debut album is ten years old this week. Such a fun album. 70s style occult rock with an air of mischief and sense of humour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBhr...

Enjoying a lovely relaxing morning by the sea. A bacon sandwich from the Stone Pier Cafe and watching the boats sail by. Bliss.

There's so much subtle world building and depth in Andor S2. Too stuff.

My new guitar looper pedal has just arrived. I'm looking forward to trying it out once the pneumatic drilling outside has abated. This is a very smart looper, with excellent drum patterns, various auto aids, and the ability to split the drum machine to a separate output. #Guitar #Mooeraudio

Oooh the fan noise from rendering out a 6.2K Open Gate video. Almost drowns out the digging on the road outside.

I usually find Keepa very good. But it keeps giving me price alerts on a product I'm tracking that don't seem to exist. Unless perhaps one appears and someone buys it right away.

I went for a walk along the prom in Weymouth this morning. It was too hot, hazy, and there were too many dogs. And I was grumpy. But other than that, it was lovely.

Researchers are inviting death metal singers into the lab to understand how they can scream, growl, and squeal without hurting their vocal tissues. What they’re finding upends conventional wisdom on vocal health. ✍️ @ohyeahitscouch.bsky.social

#NowPlaying Heaven & Hell's The Devil You Know is 16 years old this week. A fantastic album. Recorded by the early 80s #BlackSabbath lineup it deserves to be remembered as one of Sabbath's best albums. A better effort than the official 13. music.apple.com/gb/album/the...

There's an electric substation at the bottom of our garden. They are currently working to remove it and replace it with a new one. I regret to say that I think a newer member of the team has unplugged a cable marked "Iberia".

Saw Revenge of the Sith at the cinema today. I've always had issues with how quickly Anakin falls to the dark side. Yet 20 years after the release, and now a father of two 18 year olds, I totally get it. Surprised it took as much to make Anakin act so stupidly, rather than just a vodka Red Bull.

I quoted that American who thought it'd be good if she could invade our personal space on a plane. Seems she didn't like me invading her personal space in this particular BlueSky and blocked me. Just as we want to do to her on a plane.

As ever, the USA claims to be isolationist. But when push comes to shove they'll invade you in a second.
