some codes here for a slightly long-lost satan album, Blind Tiger. pretty sure it was the first one out when satan became just me, so soundtracked a very peculiar time in my life. fq69-ghrq lb3n-3jcz evxv-hksg gfe6-vyh3 2jmw-74kd d9re-vmth stlf-gt3v ux84-kbe8 682j-3veh nnx8-w9r5

Today is the 41st anniversary of the Bradford City fire, one of English football's darkest days: 56 supporters were killed in the disaster. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of all those affected today. #BCAFC

Fight the Power!

This could get me past page 27. 🤔

Tempted to get the LaserDisc player out of the loft and replace the belts. 🤔

Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...

English football in a single sentence. It's something I've long believed: that football is a microcosm of society and that, by understanding the forces that change football (for good and ill), we can help explain why so much feels so wrong and beyond our control in the UK.

Dramatic scenes at BBC Breakfast.

Oh boy... saw the first half - projector problem IIRC - of the early 70s film when the local Crusaders showed it one evening in our primary school hall. Watch the second half - and hear side 2 of Breakfast In America - and I will probably leap into another body and have to sort something else out.

A hat-trick of hat-tricks for Dom Ballard in a single season, the first Orient player to achieve this since Tommy Johnston in 1957/58 #LOFC

In any male-dominated workplace or industry, the women who do work there will on average be more competent than the men. This is obvious if you understand statistical probability and gender bias.

Have a lovely day, everyone.

When will people learn? All English people want is - no fireworks, no noise after 8pm, no unexpected visitors, no phone calls, no noise before 8pm and the sweet release of death - is that too much to ask?

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

Comic Sans and Blackletter, I hope.

I for one am absolutely ASTONISHED that privatising our public services in order to make shareholders rich didn't result in better, cheaper, more efficient public services.

This explains so much. People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity. If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Immediate thought was this might be a little-known tale about a Dire Straits five-a-side win over the Sex Pistols or something.

United-Leeds broadcast resonates with all fans disappointed at the holiday points haul.

Yeah, but what are the mugging and not being appreciated stats..? 🤔

The trend for people to publish their Myers-Briggs classification on their dating profile is very helpful. You don't need to understand what it means to know that it means they believe in all sorts of woo. So much better than wasting time.

First twelvetide post of this year's series, which will look at narrative as a way of navigating organisations and society using the metaphor of the Estuary. This first post introduces the idea of perdurable systems that include resilience, robustness and anti-fragile thecynefin.co/twelfthtide-...

If you're interested in how getting music on TV works I've written a big thing here about how a track of mine that's made from only sounds made it onto 'Atlanta' and one of the greatest scenes in TV history (IMO). It's free to sign up/read! www.patreon.com/posts/atlant...

There was nothing better than working in IT during the 90s. We were treated like kings. It's an absolute shitshow now, though. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Whenever I encounter the work of Peston, Mason or Kuenssberg, I'm reminded that the role of political editor on TV seems, bizarrely, to demand the churning out of the political equivalent of transfer rumours - trivial, ephemeral gossip that contributes nothing to our understanding of the world.

The terms and conditions of Barca's new crypto sponsor say that its product might be imaginary and that, if it does turn out not to exist, there's nothing you can do about it.

TIL: FIFA has an ethics committee. 😮😬🤔

How much risk is too much for the world’s top insurers? Did you miss Lorraine Daston’s lecture in September on how the insurance industry confronts catastrophic risk? 👀You can watch the full recording on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/BEqrapJURxI?...

Sign of the times that when waking up to the headline ‘England Collapses Overnight’ I had to check it was definitely about the cricket. 🏏 #MAshes

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.

Ok but this is totally something Charlotte Church would do

Last month in collaboration with King’s E-Lab, King’s College, we hosted an international conference to mark the 75th anniversary of the famous Turing Test. If you missed it, you can catch up by reading the event summary and watching the recordings. www.lcfi.ac.uk/news-events/...

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.
