Not now, million year old skull rewriting human evoution. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cannot understand how I missed 'Troppo' before now.

Day 23, #8: Welcome To The Occupation "Listen to the Congress Where we propagate confusion, Primitive and wild, Fire on the hemisphere below" Listen to him, indeed. song.link/y/XARqoTAJFuM#8: #REMtop30

An odd second career after the success of Fist of Fun. #ThatsOneForYouTeenagers

The Seventh Doctor being iconic

Almost had a really good trip to London today (great theatre - Born with Teeth at the Wyndham - and meal - Spring at Somerset House. Sadly, way too many pissed up, flag-bearing racists (or at best racist adjacent) morons being aggressive and threatening to anyone crossing their path

The Orange Scarf, 1927 by Tamara de Lempicka who painted in an At Deco style #WomensArt

Atavism Today: doesn’t matter how old I get, I do love a garden burn-up

Pick a Bacall... Any Bacall... Don't show me. Put it back in your heart and shuffle the deck. Good evening. #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

Pretty sure Nadine Dorris just confused Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf with the story of the boy who cried wolf.

My first End of the Road for 13 years. Reasons that kept me away have finally been conquered. It was surprisingly emotional to be back. Anyway, despite heavy rain stopping play on Saturday, reducing us to cribbage in the tent, bands were seen, old friends met and fun was had.

Good morning from The End of the Roa

Essay question "Am I too old for this shit?". Discuss.

My day trip at the Barbican r/brutalism

Finished! Not always a straightforward read but an exhilarating one. A multiple of turns of a multiple of phrases to screw them deep into your brain. I'm sure @zos93.bsky.social and @cottonmouthmcr.bsky.social have already been there (and There) but thought of you both when reading.

Dear The Future, Dublin Airport, 15th August 2025. This is how it begins.....

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

Trinity College Dublin. Nice bit of brutalism.

World Heritage Site crossed off.....

I hear you @dampscot.bsky.social . On a day trip today. Noisy children on the train, so I'm like.....

Wonderful for so many reasons. vimeo.com/93963469?sha...

111 Years Ago Today: War Declared By All

Ahh, The Hundred. The tepid aspirin to the cocaine of Test cricket.

Any of our grog chums who know @morthrai.bsky.social: there's a Just Giving page for him while he gets better. Please donate, every little helps! www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Had to drive to just outside Birmingham today. Decided to eschew SatNav to make sure my map reading hasn't atrophied. On an unrelated matter, Gloucestershire has a surprising amount of small, pretty villages.

Oooof. Long, boozy day with old friends in London, Monkey Boy Dave insisting on gargantuan brandies to close the night out. Current status: lying in garden, listening to the cricket, wallowing in my own crapulous miasma.

Happy Lammas Tide to all who celebrate

Hiroshige exhibition at the British Museum. Delicate, subtle, understated landscapes, but I was drawn to the prints that seemed more like 1960s picture postcards with some very modern looking folk....

Last night: the denouement of the epic first chapter of "Swords of the Bosphorous". The evil mastermind trying to destroy Constantinople made his move...in force! But our Heroes were indomitable and sprang a carefully planned ambush aided by the Agents and Exorcists of the mysterious Kappa-Phi-Alpha

Enjoyed Fantastic 4. Lovely, hauntological aesthetics, and cosmic drama on a family scale.

Solo cinema trip. Quite literally. Nobody else in the place. However, knowing my luck, another person will come in just after the film has started, oafishly stumble about for a few mins before taking the seat behind me and proceeding to eat what sounds like nuts and bolts from a tin can.

Quite the spectacle in the garden this morning....

Fab time @latitudefestival.bsky.social yesterday talking to the delight that is the @cosmicshambles.com crew & fab @robinince.bsky.social about Virginia Woolf & Rita Tushingham who both inspired my teenage mind 🙌🏼☀️🎶📽️ 📚

As Ratty said to Mole "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats"

Don't really do Facebook but it has thrown this memory up. Me staying in a barrel in Armenia.

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

They're not starving. They are *being starved*.

A genuine classic

Nice day for it

After the rigours of an 8 mile walk through London discovering the delights of Brutalist edifice, change of pace today.
