The front page of today's Daily Mail refers to the 2025/26 budget as the one "we've all been dreading". Remind me, how did they respond to the one where Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng fucked the country's finances sideways..? 🤨

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

One for @gruber.foo. 😉

Season four rewatch commences now! ☺️

Fuck yeah Melbourne. 🤘

You know when you Google something right before you go to sleep and then find the open browser tab a couple of days later? 😆

When I say I don't want to have kids but I still want to be involved in their lives, this is what I mean

Blocked out four weeks for our Stranger Things 1-4 rewatch. Blitzed the first two series in four days. 🙃

Farage: epic grifter

Tidy.

@myke.social I was going to ask you for more context regarding the seagull story. Then I Googled and, well … never mind. 🥴

Somehow I’ve made it to 42 years old and never seen a (non-doco) movie in IMAX. That changes this weekend. 🤩🍿 Beyond excited for Superman.

This fucking moron is going to get us all killed, isn’t he? 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

@eikedrescher.bsky.social Any plans for an Apple Watch version of Queue? I walk about 10km each day, and tend not to take my phone on said walks during the summer months, so I love having podcasts exclusively on my watch. Just wondering if it’s on the roadmap. 🤞

🥰🥰🥰

I’m really excited for Superman, and have resolved not to watch the trailer coming this week. Em has predicted that said resolve will last around five minutes, which I actually think is pretty generous. 😆

"Tackle of the year". Outstanding work by young Browny. 👏

M&S getting very experimental with their new dumpling range.

Think this is the first time I’ve seen Justin Hawkins on stage with a shirt on. 🤣 #VEDay80

@ashley-baxter.bsky.social You’re here!!! 🙌

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Lost count of the number of times I’ve listened to this track today. 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Proud of my country today. 🇦🇺 Politics of division and grievance has been loudly and wholeheartedly rejected. 🥰🥰🥰

The issue with this analogy is that the guy claiming that the USA has stage 4 cancer is essentially a faith healer. Not only is he lying to you, but he has no interest in curing you and is focused exclusively on making himself and his fellow charlatans richer. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Train driver has just declared over the loud speaker that today is “civic decorum” day, and now I have an overwhelming desire to respond by shouting “…and you can all get fucked!”

“He will be remembered as the ‘progressive Pope’ who focused more on ‘helping the poor and needy’ and slightly less on ‘covering up child sexual abuse’ than previous Popes.” 🫣

Hearing Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the bookies’ favourite to be the next Pope. 👀

@eikedrescher.bsky.social Queue is everything I never knew that I’ve always wanted in a podcast app. Downloaded yesterday and signed up for Pro almost instantly. I love it. 🥰🥰🥰 Is there a limit on how long episodes will stay in my queue? And if so, where can I manage that setting? Thanks Eike! 😁

OK, this looks amazing. 😂 youtu.be/RVYRlRwIkjI

Apple updates Stocks App icon 📉

Trying to get through Friday while avoiding all #Severance spoilers before I can watch the finale tomorrow night...

MCG looking absolutely magnificent. 😍 Pretty happy with that scoreboard at three quarter time too. 🐯

The reaction from the Aussies to this story has been (as you might expect) superb. Personal highlight for me was when the Prime Minister suggested this woman should fight an actual crocodile. 🤣

Em and I have officially reached the age where we take our own hot drinks to the cinema with us.

Got tickets to see ‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ at the cinema tomorrow evening, so naturally we’re watching the original this evening. 😎

Severance: people can't remember what happens to them at work... me: incredible, sign me up Severance: no, it's a bad thing me: did I stutter?

Always hilarious watching films set in London having now lived here for a few years. Case in point, in Bridget Jones’s Baby a very pregnant Bridget Jones walks from her flat in Borough Market to Mark Darcy’s house in Ealing, which would take roughly … five hours. 🤣

Six times doesn’t really seem like all that much…?

Wow. 😮 deadline.com/2025/02/jame...

Tomorrow would have been my grandfathers 105th birthday. Decided to add a “historical” contact record to my phone to remind me each year, but was worried the year picker might not go all the way back to 1920. I needn’t have worried. 😆

Not a bad choice actually. But I still reckon Bill Nighy would be the perfect Dumbledore. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Fucking hell. Episode 204 of Severance is a cracker. 🤯

So long Melbourne. I love you muchly and I miss you alreadyly. 🫶🇦🇺

One for the road…
