This has to sting like an absolute bitch for the Seattle Mariners. This is as close as they’ve ever been in their 49 year existence to a #WorldSeries. Two games up. 3 games to 2 up. Two runs up in Game 7. To get that near to their first Fall Classic but puke it up will hurt for quite some time.

Trip prep: 🟢 currency bought 🟢 hotels all paid up 🔶 clothes packed 🔶 travel insurance sourced 🟥 rail pass 🟥 event bookings 🩵 lucked into a flu shot! 💢 …but apparently I still don’t deserve COVID protection. Not like my folks are heading for their 90s or anything…

Tron: Ares 🧵 Now make zero bones about it: I ADORE the Tron franchise. It was my first geek movie. I took my niece to see Legacy on IMAX when she turned 10. And I was really worried about this movie. We all know why: Jared Sodding Leto. The acting equivalent of cold vending-machine chicken soup. ⏭️

I’m not particularly a fan of either team, but I wouldn’t dislike a Mariners-Dodgers #WorldSeries2025. At least it’d be a series I could just relax into. And I’d like Seattle to win it at their first try. Nothing against Toronto or Milwaukee either - but not Chicago. Not as a Cards fan. Stuff them.

There is going to be SO much ketchup on the walls at #1600, it'll be easier to just call it the Red House. Suck it, you fat orange fascist bastard.

Look me in the eye and tell me this isn't rampant fascism.

Just had some of my music collection’s album corrupt on me - bizarrely, just four albums by @jonathancoulton.bsky.social. I’d been wanting to tinker with some new fonts i yoinked earlier in the week, so I cracked open Affinity Photo, and - welp. Nice ligatures.

Newsom for the win!

…Spider? That you, man? ┌🟩〰️🔴┐🕷️ 🔫

The first horse to speak so eloquently since Mister Ed.

…Okay. Tell you what, how about this: GO PISS UP A FUCKING ROPE YOU EXTORTIONIST SHITEHAWKS. #StandWithKimmel #StandWithColbert #FuckFascism #FuckCharlieKirk

Louder for the fuckwits hopped up on Kool-aid at the back: SENATE REPUBLICANS just voted ABSOLUTE FUCKING GOOSE-STEP TO PROTECT NONCES. Because they know Jaffa The C**t the Fat Orange Fascist is one of them. Government Of PAEDOPHILES #Epstein #Trump #EightySixFortySeven #ReleaseTheFiles #LockHIMUp

Two down. Should have seen this coming, to be fair, Jimmy. You know who owns ABC - and you know which foot Walt kicked with… #StandWithKimmel #StandWithColbert

Thirty years. I’m tired.

Demon Slayer: Infinite Castle Welp. If that’s what passes for popular animu these days, I’ll stick with the retro stuff, ta very much. Sets a big bad and gets nowhere near him. Tries some comic relief then ditches it almost immediately. Starts with the party split. Disjointed cuts. And then… ➡️

@thedrawplay.com Welp - at least we put up some semblance of a fight this time. #FinsDown

NFL Big Game Night on Channel 5. Hoooooooo boy. So we're back to their late 90s' days of patronising bullshit, are we. How far removed are we from Nat & Mike, Jonny & JC, Webbo, Nick & Russ… just bring the Vicious Boys back and be done with it. AND they completely screwed up the schedule too…

Two names spring to mind. Niemöller and Epstein.

Oh, but sure, wrong wing, y’all just go right-ass on ahead and tell me more about your one true, just and loving god… Jesus Fucking Matrix. Never mind the existence of war, genocide, cancer or AIDS; what omnipotent, omniscient, benign, benevolent God would allow such hate?

The very fact that the FBI has Charlie Kirk’s killer in custody, but hasn’t released any details about them, means multiple things: 👱🏻‍♂️ White (not black or brown) 💃🏻 Not a drag queen ✝️ If not Mormon, then Christian - so not Muslim either 🚨 And they want their base to jump to (incorrect) conclusions. ➡️

The only experience that pathological fraud has regarding drugs is to do with the ones he was(?) fucking ADDICTED to.

I am grinning like a loony at this. Absolutely banging on all fronts: vocals, guitar, bass, drums, the lot.

Go ahead and try then, you fat orange fascist. Like the book you've never read says, Matthew 19:24 - a camel has more chance of going through the eye of a needle. In your case, it would have more of a shot managing it fucking BACKWARDS. 🐫⟶🪡

Evil. Pure distilled evil. The side you chose if you couldn’t be arsed to vote last November. When will the leopards decide *your* face looks rather tasty…?

Adjudicated rapist and 34x convicted felon says what? Believe the victims. Not a proven beyond all doubt pathological liar.

On my way back from work some nights recently, there's been a few fireworks getting launched. Well, I say a few; they're like those light-once barrage crates of pyros. In August. I'm in the UK, so not a big holiday. I have to check my phone when they go off. I hope they've just been rehearsals.

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com Just got this obvious scam ad on YouTube, you talking (very vaguely with badly rendered AI lip synching) about an investment opportunity that you’d personally pay £50K to anyone do couldn’t make money from it. Total horsecrap, naturally. Figured you’d like to know.

@sfbags.bsky.social My Magnetic (only ⅓ paid for 💧) turned up Tuesday morning, and holly carp it is SUBLIME. Looks, feels AND smells so good. Just need the (also magnetic) sling I Kicked for to land in October, and I’m set for THE single coolest busting out of an NS2 on a Shinkansen to Kyoto ever.

@unsportsmanlike.bsky.social I’m off to see Roxette (yes, they’re still around) at Wembley Arena in December. This will be my third Wembley gig for them after 1991 & 2011; eighth time overall. Longtime friend Lena Philipsson is Per’s new leading lady; he wrote for her back in 1986.

A word to my arty chums. Well, two words actually: Nightshade & Glaze. Want to protect your stuff from AI? Might well be worth looking them both up...

Oh look, another public urinal.

Every single Republican shitehawk who voted not to release files that they're trying (and failing) to gaslight people into thinking don't even exist needs to be voted out of Congress. Believe victims. Not the TACO Traitor.

This is why I don’t do Facebook much anymore, if at all. I just got a blip telling me a comment I made a few days ago was Liked by… Jalen Hurts. Eagles QB. Obviously not him. The URL double-typos his name. Reported it, naturally - or I tried to. Couldn’t find an official ticked profile for him.

Does this mean the character's in his Injustice arc now...?

@umactually.bsky.social #UmActually, Ify old son, that’s a KRITE, not a Critter. The hunters who come to Earth refer to them as such. Point plz kthx.

@dropout.tv #UmActually, Ify, that’s not a Critter, it’s a Krite. The hunters who come to Earth refer to them as such.

Fantastic Four: First Steps Okay, but no Thunderbolts*. Pedro Pascal was decent as the dichotomous Reed, needing to be in control and totally out of his comfort zone. Ebon Moss-Bachrach was a calm, measured, homely Ben, giving him way more depth; Vanessa Kirby seemed a bit distant at times as Sue…➡️

Miserable Brummie twat on the bus back home tonight throwing dog’s abuse at me for no discernible reason. Fucker’s getting reported, no two ways about it. Shit shift, worse news - I don’t need that kind of poison on top.

Reform have just been round again hawking their bigoted bullshit for another local election. I reminded them that since they stole the council in May, there hasn’t been ONE scheduled garden bin pickup completed since. The next no-show will be the 7th. And it’s a PAID SUBSCRIPTION, not taxed. ➡️

Fuck this place. Assholes talk to me like that again and whistles are going to get blown so fucking hard they won’t be able to feel themselves exist, never mind think.

No. NO. FUCK YOU MONDAY FUCK YOU Absolutely devastated to learn this. I so wanted him to get to triple digits. A mind like his is such a rare thing: razor sharp and incredibly funny on so many levels. He was Weird Al before even Weird Al was Weird Al. I’m gonna dig out his box set again. RIP Tom.

The Goonies (40th Anniversary) Still as ridiculously silly as it was back in 1985. Spielberg and Donner crafted a kids’ adventure flick for the ages. It’s been decades since a movie was this kinda glorious fun. Wonder if anything will ever come of that sequel talk of not so long ago.

@unsportsmanlike.bsky.social Tomlin to Miami? I wouldn’t hate that. If McDaniel can’t hack it this season, and Tua isn’t up to the gig, I think it’s time to call it for this phase. This does depend on Miami doing something they always struggle to do going back decades: they don’t protect their QB.

So not long ago, we got voting cards for a council election in a couple of weeks. And I just had an email to confirm. My next garden bin collection (subscription paid, not tax) is due the day before. They haven’t turned up on schedule since Reform took over. Six straight non-pickups. #ReformOut

Superman To be honest, I had misgivings. I hadn't really gone back to it since the Dean Cain days (and what a bellend he wound up being). This, however, was a hell of a lot of fun. And funny too. David Corenswet is an easily likeable Supes, and Nicholas Hoult is the most menacing Luthor I've seen.

With another local election happening a week into August, the Turbo-Nutter-Fartrage-Craftywank Company is already spreading its faecal matter on flyers. Ready for government?! Ha. They can’t even be fucked emptying garden bins. Too busy not turning up to meetings & lying about police advice! #Nope

It would be an absolute shame if this went viral. Just saying.
