Who dat?

I work with so many absolutely amazing people. I never take for granted that the organization I work for and the work we do MATTERS.

So, is Twitter still a thing?

For the avoidance of doubt, I *never* use generative AI to do *any* of my writing. I type it all out myself with my own twelve fingers.

Jim Ratcliffe mouthing off about immigration I see and, predictably and boringly pointing fingers at the Labour govt. All you have to do is plot UK population growth against governments to see that the Cons did nothing to curb "colonialization" as Ratcliffe puts it.

A little hoarfrost on the branches this morning!

Bastard's cryin' innit. IYKYK

BANG!!! Get it in your ears. Now. There may not be a tomorrow!!!

Basking in the glow of a fantastic away win and Arsenal's campaign reminds me of a Marillion lyric... "It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper Something's gonna give under this pressure And the cracks are already beginning to show"

The Simpsons podcast I never knew I needed in my life. Ian and Michael left us all devastated by wrapping up their Blackadder podcast, so it's great to have them back yacking about a different show! ❤️

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Amazon can go fuck itself.

What do you do when your pals come into town to visit over Christmas? Well, after you've played pool, taken in a show, then gone to listen to hilariously awful karaoke, you drive around town in your 2003 Dodge Caravan and record your idiotic conversation for posterity. What else!

Get this in your ears as a matter of some urgency. This was one of the most fun guest spots I've ever done given I got the chance to blather on about the greatest sitcom ever made (sorry @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social, I know which one you prefer........... ALLO ALLO!!!!!) 🤣

Open the gate all the way for the man in black. Unless it’s the American Recordings…… (I know I’m in the minority!)

I love it when inspiration hits you from strange angles. After driving around listening to this track for this week's episode of the @tompettyproject.bsky.social, a story deposited itself into my brain. I tried to write as much of it out as I could as a "first chapter".

I still reckon "JD Vance" sounds like a discount athletic wear store... "50% off all Reebok trainers if you come down to the DANCE WITH VANCE event at our Hartlepool this weekend!"

Another magical episode with another wonderful guest; the brilliant @ursell66.bsky.social 😊 Not to spoil anything but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😂

Full disclosure; there’s a song on this side of the album that I really like! It would be much better with a better vocalist but I still think it’s a cool pop song. Had a fantastic time diving into this album with my pal @scottkhaskin.bsky.social shows.acast.com/64ec548b7e4b...

Catholic Conservatives: "The government shouldn't interfere with my rights as an individual!" Also Catholic Conservatives: "Bring that baby here so I can cut a part of its cock off without its consent please!"

Hegseth is trying to cosplay as Colonel Jessep when in reality he's Staff Sergeant Barnes. And he doesn't realize that Jessep isn't a hero.

Love this 😊 "It's just the normal noises in here..."

A bunch of professionals having to sit listening to a pair of clueless morons for over an hour. In full dress uniform.

Not exactly the documents people want to see released...

For people who think the Liberal Party of Canada is "left wing", just look at the current dispute with the postal workers union. Left wing parties don't fuck over their unionized workers. The Liberals are a right of centre fiscal party and don't let anyone con you into thinking otherwise.

I chatted to Amelia on the @tompettyproject.bsky.social podcast about a year ago. She's a stunningly talented writer, singer, and pianist and her upcoming album is one of the best I've heard in a long time. This third single, Velvet Glove is superb. www.instagram.com/reel/DOylKAO...

@av4apod.bsky.social not sure if you've ever seen this mate, but I think you may enjoy it 😊 youtube.com/shorts/BAYtn...

I'm sure Bluesky will eventually head the way of Twitter. Some rich tosspot will swoop in at some point and just look at the bottom line. But it's good to see the scientific community migrating.

That's Vince McMahon???? It looks like a waxwork of Mike Myers that's melted in the heat......

@av4apod.bsky.social surely to all the gods that never were, he has to title this farewell album "72 Treasons"? faroutmagazine.co.uk/megadeth-ann...

This was an absolute blast! Get it in your ears!!!

@garydelaney.bsky.social looking for a professional opinion. I think this might be the best pun I've ever come up with... I guess it needs the image to go with it but...

Marvellous 😊

If you're up in/near Edinburgh, go support Rich. He's one of the good guys and he's fucking funny on top of it. I mean, would you rather watch RHLSTP (RHLSTP) or have to go to Middlesbrough? If you had to...

What a captain this fella is!

I'm a huge fan of Change Everything, Twisted, and Some Other Sucker's Parade but I didn't really listen to the Dels first record. This has definitely made me want to go back and revisit them properly!

ICYMI. I'm going to be blathering on with some friends about Queen for a while very shortly!

If you like great songwriters and exceptional vocalists, you'll wanna keep an eye on this lady. Her debut album, coming soon, is remarkable.

Absolute nutter. The excessive chalking makes me laugh way too much every time. If you don't wanna watch a madman play himself at snooker for no particularly good reason, for HOURS, I don't really know if we can be friends... Long live Mr. Herring and his one remaining bollock!

When will it end................

REALLY looking forward to talking about these four albums on this season of @ucatalogueclash.bsky.social 😎

Haven't written a blog article in a while. I wrote this weeks ago but didn't get around to posting it out! It's a response to my pal Heath McCoy's defence of the lyrics of the Motley Crue song “Too Young To Fall In Love”. www.kevbrown.ca/sixx-vs-hend...

Send your words to Rich, people!

@swordofreason.bsky.social I finally got around to checking out Rory Gallagher (you'd been talking him up months, possibly years ago on Twitter!) and can't believe I completely missed this guy. Sensational player and I love his voice. Now deep diving.

I'll take this as a compliment 😁

Apparently, I drive “a shrek”. This is “a shrek” too, not Shrek! (If you’re not a @herring1967.bsky.social fan this subtlety may be lost on you…)

If both left and right believe the news is biased against them, that's likely a decent indicator that it's doing its job properly 😊

We have Ryanair away in the pub darts league tonight. Hate playing them. If they land one within 80 miles of the target, they count it as a bullseye.
