It’s kinda odd to be drowning in photos of every insignificant moment these days whilst having so incredibly few from before around 2008 but did find some from when I was, I guess, 2/3/4 and do love my family’s strong commitment to the booze

ok, annual attempt to find this. years and years and years ago there were a few DJ mixes on the old Warp Records site. there is one that I've been trying to find for about 15 years to no avail so might as well try again. I was 100% convinced it was the 'Midwinter Mix' by Plaid, but there appears to

We have gone to war against the tyrant star

For the millionth time I find myself being kinda glad that if they must pollute our lives these arseholes are simply, pathologically unable to keep their mouths shut & not say out loud all the awful stupid shit that goes through their heads, whilst wishing it would have some impact on their support

This plate was produced as a prop for an incredibly dark, award winning Julia Davis comedy series and you cannot tell me otherwise

At some point I really, really need to commission the definitive feature on Slaanesh. just an absolutely fucking hilariously fascinating thing to sit close to the centre of a multi-media mega £££ franchise in v. large part aimed at teenage boys Not least because they always push the ‘it’s about…

"I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with the sovereign ruler of a theocratic state" etc etc

I regret to inform you that for no reason I can gather the words 'The Bing In Yellow' just arrived fully formed in my head, and now I'm thinking about a 90s set CoC/Delta Green x Friends crossover

now that the kind of 3 part prestige Netflix documentary on a pop band/musical artist seems to be a winning formula I'm trying to think of the more interesting ones I'd love to see them do ahead of, idk Ronan Keating or whomever, but which clearly wont.

Allez Les lads!

Deleting old photos off my phone and nothing will ever get me to bin this one. Makes me want to write a book about 1980s Britain just so I could use it on the cover

Oh dear, at a medieval fayre & just bumped into my old longsword club (totally normal Saturday) Urge to get back into swording intensifying, though tbh I think I’d prefer to do rapier now Still got a chance to to say thanks to the bloke who played a pivotal role in this photo several years ago

they're calling it the definitive political text of our era also sad to report that contrary to the writer's expectations I did in fact already know what 'cuckquean' meant, though perhaps as an added data point backing this all up that was only thanks to Ted Cruz's browsing history

Such a basic bitch, but got them all talking

Went for the Mackie, just found it waiting in the doorstep, so tomorrow will be fun

Genuinely struggling to fill the reviews section of the next issue

well, that was an insanely bleak 2 hours of my life, now to take a big sip of coffee, cheer myself up by watching the accompanying documentary and probably eBay the roughly half dozen new edition Twilight 2000 games I have here that frankly seem ever increasingly unlikely to be played

a nice morning reminder of one of the big reasons I love print media, as it's generally speaking an uneconomic pain in the arse it tends to drive out most grifters & leaves the field clear for the kind of sickos who are in it for the love of the game & do shit like make zines of Simpsons' pamphlets

sure

amazing press release just received that as part of its mission to preserve historic moving images for the future the BFI have added 'Will Liz Truss Outlast This Lettuce?' to the National Collection ALSO HOW DID I NEVER KNOW AN APHEX TWIN BEAR WAS INVOLVED?! replay.bfi.org.uk/video/458/8b...

‘It was much more gritty than the US scene’: UK skateboarding in the 80s and 90s – in pictures

there was a lot wrong with the UK of the 1970s and 80s but the country did produce the absolute hardest public information films, adverts and posters known to man an entire government dept who clocked in every day & went to work scaring the living shit out of its citizens in amazing style

Update: barely slept, blood all over duvet, ribs hurt when I breathe & triply so when I laugh (so at least social media is a blessing at the moment), skin red raw Positives, whilst feeling sorry for myself at 2am I did pull the trigger on a new Mackie live mixer which should arrive tomorrow 😉

I just wish the people running our local charity shop would have exercised this much ‘Starmerite’ caution when my mum gleefully dumped what would today be about 3 grands worth of Warhammer models on their doorstep exactly 1 week after I’d left for college in the 1990s

nothing makes me realise I'm in completely the wrong nerd game than reading press releases for new dice sets

has he even redecorated number 10?

Fuck me, just came off my bike and am now down about 50% of my skin 🥴

The eternal mystery of what it exactly is that publicists in the book trade actually do all day

Have to say, pretty cool to have apparently grown up in the last era where subcultures could exist without their existence being dependent on multinational payment processing corporations 🤔

anyone here use Yamaha HS3s in their home setup? any good? just for home use with a handful of synths, drum machines etc, just fancy something for when I'm able to unplug headphones. actually whilst at it Mackie 1202 VLZ4? looking for a new mixer to run a handful of synths/drum machines through

perfect video / perfect song

We’ve got to go back

Tidying up the design files for our old issues and came across this piece we commissioned @gnarledmonster.bsky.social to do fora feature on the RPGLATAM scene in our 2nd issue, still one of my favourite pieces of art we've ever published.

Not even sure you need to scratch the surface tbh

After an insanely crappy month I’m mildly embarrassed at just how much my dentist just saying she was very happy with me (M49) has made my day, if she’d just given me a sticker too I could have probably taken a couple of months off therapy

Had an idea for a running joke in the mag where each issue we'd pick a word that rhymes with Mork and create a fictional Mork Borg hack whose premise is based on nothing more than the fact the word in the title rhymes with Mork Had to give up after the first 15 I came up with all already existed

That photo of Andy Burnham jogging has viscerally fucking angered me, not as bad as when Johnson would go out of his way to look performatively shit in similar circumstances but close enough

now that the new issue's been out about a month I think it's time to fire up and update the trusty old spreadsheet of publishers that have never publicly acknowledged in any meaningful way the features we've published on their titles

Have to say it is remarkably funny that on two of the other, more video content focused, sites I’m currently getting lots of videos of young Americans going for 5 mile walks through major urban areas and treating it like they’re Livingstone going in search of the source of the Nile

it's remarkable how many knotty problems I'm dealing with would be simply solved by selling between one thousand and one thousand five hundred more copies of the magazine. I'm pretty sure that's around 0.00001765% of the world's current population, not a big ask!

Aujourd'hui, c'était une bonne journée

There’s a match out there somewhere

Notice how you’ve never seen Wes Streeting and an Easter Island head carved out of spam in the same room?

Ici! Ici! C’est Saint Gilles!

New @greenlungband.bsky.social track/video is everything we could have asked for, love to see all the money I've spent on merch and weird picture discs over the last few years being put to good use

Sharing this wonderful recent publication about a history of properly independent music in Sheffield by talented journalist Dan Dylan Wray (who is also a lovely dude). Honoured to be included in a page or two with relation to a record label (Thee SPC) I used to do stuff with.

it's very important to recognise that the future is being built by the kind of shark eyed people who have Huel™️ subscriptions

still ill so decided to clean up my computer, now about 6 layers deep in a series of nested folders with names like SORT FEB 26, SORT AUG 25, SORT OUT OCT 23!!! some of the files appear to be so old & mysterious I suspect if I touch any of them it might trigger a massive boulder to roll after me

there's getting uncomfortably horny on main and there's whatever Nick Watt was doing on the news last night, haven't turned on the TV today so I presume he's still edging himself into oblivion?

not surprised but still kinda sad I (well, Wyrd Science) didn't make that deeply shit & weird AI powered tabletop game site those grifters have set up if only because going by the others I assume my tag line would have been "he took a small amount of money, and somehow made it smaller"
