Presumably the Glasgow Bell will be doing another reputation-washing Reform piece this week then…

Got KBed for a job after an interview. Perhaps didn’t help my chances by pointing out to one of the interviewers - the head of sport for a national publisher - that it’s not been called the SPL for more than a decade when he asked a question about it…

This was an excellent way to spend the train journey home. Plus, always nice to hear some love for Damon Leigh, consistently the brightest of Futureshock spots regardless of what he was booked to do.

I know it’s only #WorldBookDay in schools (don’t even get me started) but here’s a reminder that I wrote some books! (More to come at some point, honest!) www.lulu.com/search?contr...

Sucker Punch is now only three quid on the Apple movie store. Yet still feels very overpriced.

Discovered some weird production and formatting errors I hadn’t previously spotted in the FTS anthology so I’ve redone it to remove them, and tidy up a couple of literals that got through subbing. You can download it here if you’re so minded. static1.squarespace.com/static/6746e...

I'm not sure people understand what's happening. Israel stopped all aid trucks from entering Gaza until Hamas agrees to sign a rewrite of the original ceasefire agreement, which will allow Israel to continue the war indefinitely...and the whole world is quiet about it www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/m...

Driving about the last few days meant a lot of R2 on in the car. Normally slebs getting slots rather than proper DJs makes my teeth itch but after hearing him nerd out about the length of song fades etc, bit of a new appreciation for Vernon Kay on t’wireless.

Binned off my WhatsApp (needed to wait til the funeral was out the way). Properly Meta, Substack and X free now. Internets still full of problematic places and people but feel, at least, slightly better about not engaging with them.

Breaking silence to signpost this. Huge thanks to @thespoilist.bsky.social for putting it up. Not getting to much of #GFF25 as I’d like this year, for obvious reasons.

Sadly the audience wasn’t there for this, and the pandemic was, but doing No Mean City was an absolute joy, and a lot of celebrating Mark’s performance - especially the pilot. shows.acast.com/no-mean-city

Oh dear god. Just watched a trailer for what’s basically a prepper action film. It’s like if JD Vance remade Threads. You’ll not be shocked to hear Neal McDonough is in it…

Catching up on the Fletcher/Takeshita v Ospreay/Omega match from Saturday and it’s both excellent and also very amusing that I saw 3/4 of these lads in the Frog and Bucket dicking about.
