yo Alexa my home dog check out this final fantasy character I just named "Keir Starmer" addressing this other final fantasy character I just called "Milhouse" Ha ha ha James, I wish I were real so we could truly enjoy this moment together (rest of post censored as per the Online Safety Act)

autechre and lenin in russia 1994

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

the new John Lewis advert somehow straight up rips one of the most heartbreaking scenes in film of this decade (from Aftersun) and then just makes it shite

me flirting

I try to record a Halloween song every year and, this year, you can hear me cover one of the unsettlingly horny folk songs from 'The Wicker Man' (there *is* an audience for that, right?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nxi...

so much for these Amazin' web services amirite

The whole British government and media loves Maccabi Tel Aviv fans! The far right football fans that love to cause violence! *5 minutes later* We regret to inform you the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are far right and have caused violence

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick” Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

looking at the fog outside this morning

This kind of thing never fails to crack me up

Autism is not a disease. You can’t cure autism. "Some people don’t care what we want. They want a cure for autism, and they spend a lot of time and money looking for it. This is bad for autistic people. People should spend time and money helping us live good lives." Words by @autisticadvocacy.org.

Silent Hill fergalicious

guys guys they mentioned Lichfield and Disco Elysium on University Challenge

Keep thinking about this bit from @garbageday.email. "The American right wing finally gets to be the victims they’ve always seen themselves as."

nice

im just off to the metaverse, can I get anyone anything

they should hang something cool off lamp posts like the album cover of In the Wake of Poseidon by King Crimson

its funny to be ruled by internet-brained idiots like this, when anyone with a passing familiarity of this internet political moment knew instinctively this was going to be an incoherent brain rotted gamer white boy who sees politics and violence as entertainment

I have every bit as much compassion for Charlie Kirk being shot by some random person as he would have if it had been me.

Where are These New Puritans and Caroline, you Mercury Prize cowards

There's a Popeye's opening in my town and a.) I thought the logo was a chicken, not the big man himself, b.) his pipe is sticking out of a separate hole in his chin? That's 🤖 right?

A work in progress list of films that actually feel like weird fiction, as opposed to just horror movies or ghost stories. Unsettling. Uncanny. Unresolved. boxd.it/NXd38

It's a little reported upon bit of music fact but it's interesting how many of the "90s bands going big on TikTok" (yr Slowdives, yr assorted American slowcore bands) are the sort of bands that were pretty big on the old mp3 blogs

Anyone who pays the least attention to what he's been posting and doing over the last few years can immediately see that he's motivated entirely by bitterness, hatred, and is just frankly really unwell. Framing him as anything other than pitiable and contemptable is just totally irresponsible afaic

guys guys they mentioned Earthbound / Mother on University Challenge

The Night Sky, 1965 The #Perseids Artist: Robert Ayton

Love that Rod Stewart's tour visuals appear to have been edited on some software that comes free with Windows Vista

you see this basic dynamic all over, where the right identifies a real issue and exploits it in bad faith, and then dupes in media and politics take them at their word, as if they are sincerely concerned about the problem and offering solutions.

I played live last night! First time since 2019 - it's unlisted for now, but here's a video of the first seven mins or so as filmed by my dad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtIM...

Can confirm!

When I remember to descale the kettle

"debating" right wing assholes accomplishes nothing except validate and elevate their awful beliefs and opinions, the idea you're accomplishing anything else is pure delusion

I’ve gone from ‘this version of Labour wouldn’t have repealed Section 28’ to ‘this version of Labour would have enthusiastically introduced Section 28’

well I for one hope that whoever is responsible gets life in prison with no chance of parole

I'll be playing a little live set (my first since 2019!) at the next Electronic Music Open Mic Birmingham event at Centrala, Digbeth on the 31st of July. Deets here, if you dare: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/emom-birmi...

the epstein footage is missing a minute because jeffrey started singing hey jude in his cell. justice dept doesn’t want to pay for the licensing. somewhat understandable

It's been a good while since I've really written much, and so I was over the moon that good Brummie eggs Concrete Magazine gave me a forum to write about Broadcast's album 'Haha Sound', growing up in the Midlands, and making pilgrimages to the massive HMV concretebrum.wordpress.com/2025/07/09/e...

Happy ninth 'Toby Young Writing A Thinkpiece About The Fact He Has No Friends' Day, to all who celebrate.

i am never more embarrassed to be british than when the government announces it will save our economy by investing in whatever pump-and-dump tech swindle is currently ongoing
