The problem with having a Scottish accent is that sometimes you ask your Google speaker thing to play '6 Music', as in the UK radio station, and it will play a horny Apple Music playlist called 'sex music' instead.

When I worked at DreamWorks, one of the directors told me “Music is at the top of the pop culture waterfall. It feeds into fashion, graphic design, TV, movies… if you don’t keep your music knowledge up to date, other aspects of your art will start to feel dated too.”

I am, for reasons that I don't quite know, playing the Modern Warfare 2 remaster. It's an order of magnitude better than Modern Warfare 1. Mainly I think because it sounds so much better.

Scientists have reconstructed the insane weather of Tylos, a world so hot, and so close to its sun that the clouds are made of vaporised metal, and where it rains liquid sapphires and rubies. https://buff.ly/41a3GnB #ShareGoodNewsToo

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.
