Tonight's musical moment of zen... youtu.be/m8_E_y-EUkA?...

Finally watching the final season of 'Cobra Kai'. Just when I thought I couldn't love it more? It plays 'Hold Me Now' by the Thompson Twins, one of THE greatest 80s tunes ever made 💜🎵

They're trying to normalise it. They're trying to normalise a fucking Nazi salute. Despicable. (Image from Reddit)

Tonight's musical moment of zen is doing it for England... youtu.be/7O1_0hikl-A?...

The problem with being a confident fat guy is that whenever I say that I feel like a thin guy people assume I mean 'with ketchup'.

Yay! Off to watch 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' on 7 May with @ononokomachi.bsky.social at @bristolbeacon.bsky.social - hopefully they'll use the recent Turbo Island ruleset with the Portway Circuit variable for Mornington Crescent.

Tonight's musical moment of zen is a lucky, lucky thing... youtu.be/n6vlSgaKeG8?...

Nervous about this one tonight Reds. After the last few performances we need Macca and Curtis/Dom to help Grav out a bit more in CM tonight. Villa are gonna come at us. #LFC

The Lib Dems "will destroy the whole country"? With what? Some nice mild cheese, a taste for warm beer and Ed probably attending a roller disco? I don't agree with everything they suggest but generally quite like the Lib Dems. The idea that ghey'll lead us to chaos is hilarious.

And there it is. The EO that officially makes Trump a dictator and removes any oversight at all. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

"It's your fault, you started it by fighting back" is a line you feel Trump has used many times before... thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is really bad but hey, at least they didn't accidentally sack the people responsible for the nuclear wea.... ....oh.

Ahhh the joys of suffering from obsessive thoughts as part of my mental health issues. Just a word or name can fire up a screwy neutron &, 5 minutes later, you're trying to send yourself insane over something which stressed you out that you lived through 33 yrs ago & recovered from. Shut up brain!

Time for a new book.

Something occurs to me after chatting with @hobbitfrompa.bsky.social. In 'Armageddon' we sent up people to destroy the comet. Is there any way we can send people up to aim it? Asking for friends living near Mar-a-Lago and the Kremlin who might need to up their insurance.

Anyone else keep reading about the percentage chance of that comet hitting us rising and, every time it goes up, think "yeah we've fucking earnt it lately"?

Tonight's musical moment of zen will stand in front of you and take the force of the blow... youtu.be/Q6mET3eSSN8?...

Tonight's musical moment of zen is gonna make it right... youtu.be/bvsz_9pp3no?...

On now!

If anyone fancies an hour of uninterrupted late evening classic rock & pop (REM, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos and more) to see out the weekend then can I recommend my 'Alternative Jukebox' show? They're all on it tonight! 10pm-11pm GMT tonight, www.somervalleyfm.co.uk

@lollujo.bsky.social hey Kevin, saw this on Reddit and thought of you - a 1:1 LEGO Formula E car: preview.redd.it/w4i8yrliu8je...

Tonight's musical moment of zen comes from opening time down on Fascination Street... youtu.be/rzmL7ZPq1bM?...

Remember this when suicide rates amongst people with mental health issues skyrocket.

I quite like Formula E. There's something about cars that look like snap-together plastic airfix kits with drivers pedalling really fast inside that appeals to me. No wonder there's all the whistling, must be tough on their breathing. The 'E' is for 'Engine-Free', right?

@djwubwub.bsky.social love that sir. Thanks for the plug 🙂

My show about to kick off on @somervalleyfm.co.uk! Tune in 'til 1am for a selection of new house-focused EDM, old skool classics, featured DJ mixes and more.

Yes, I'm aware it's Valentine's Day. Thank you to all the TV sitcoms for reminding me and, by doing so, fuelling the bitter cynicism of a long-time single romantic. On the bright side it means only I know how small my penis really is so the joke's on you.

This Valentine's Day try not to give people your heart in the same way Elon Musk does. It won't go well. Especially in Germany.

Ahhh, you're looking for this: youtu.be/gIsnb1TKYjE?...

Verdict on 'Captain America: Brave New World'. Average, veering into watchably dull. Considering rumours of huge rewrites & editing it's coherent but aggressively mediocre. No shine, no sparkle, none of the phase 1-3 magic. Plus some bad CGI & a TERRIBLY realised villain. Wait for home release.

Admittedly it's me picking the option. And I'm biased.

🥃 raised. One of the good ones.

As is the way with my mental illness stuff, spur-of-the-moment decision to go see the new Cap movie - in cinema waiting for trailers now. And yes, have seen reviews are mixed but I sat through 'Thor L&T' at the cinema - won't be worse than that.
