Wait... Trump hasn't posted in 24 hours... He isn't, is he?

Last night in the posh hotel and I've got one more night here in Edinburgh. Back Saturday evening to the Deen. This has been a bittersweet couple of days, but on the plus side, there was a wee trip to Forbidden Planet, and I got a copy of The Boys Volume 1 for cheap. It's a riot.

Well, Maeve is up with me, Josiah and new squeeze. In a rather posh hotel and relaxing, and I might have just audibly gasped at how soft and comfy this bed is.

Here's my test for whether a song's theme/title song is memorable. Listen to it, and then "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. If you can hum through the first song afterwards, it's a memorable theme tune. It's why I can hum The Blues Brothers, for example, but not Kingsman's title theme.

Didn't Bond supposedly die in one of the other movies too? Why is this a problem? Does anyone actually think its supposed to be a continuous narrative from Dr. No to now?

About Edinburgh, a castle and a cannon.

Just had my first glimpse of my favourite bridge (insert the voice of Jeremy Clarkson)... In the world.

I would say that Wes Streeting's voice resembles a fire in a pet shop... But then, I know he knows what that sounds like.

Don't read The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. Do read the following: -The Book Thief by Marcus Zuzak -Maus by Art Spiegelmann -Number The Stars by Lois Lowry -The Boy On The Wooden Box by Leon Leyson -Letters from Cuba by Ruth Behar (All these books are kid friendly, and John Boyne is an arse).

I don't know why people are having a go at La Voix: that was legitimately funny.

First class is awful swanky

No, I'm not boycotting Christmas, not for any special cause. Instead, I'll celebrate it the way I see fot- giving to those in need and spreading Christmas cheer.

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

One hell of a game! #RoversTillIDie

So- by sheer, miraculous accident, I'm travelling to Edinburgh tomorrow morning First Class. There WILL be photos as I travel like an absolute Tory wankstain

A Celtic fan on here called Suzy blocked me for writing a poem about the moment the guns fell silent. Note that my poem has no mention of which army. Whilst I'm not given to any sort of unionist propaganda, my Great Grandfather, Reginald Pritchard fought in WW1 with the Welsh Guards.

Here's my poem for #ArmisticeDay. #LestWeForget

Case in point: The Shape Of Water.

hyperdiegesis! this is a good blog post about it (even if I don't agree with every word in it, still a good post) idlecartulary.com/2024/11/01/h...

The first John Wick uses a great storytelling tool: “I gave him an impossible task...the bodies he buried that night are the foundation of what we are now." You don't have to tell me what that is. It's better left unsaid. Do this while running games.

Breaking news: Hipsters have been reading in public since hipsters. Men have been doing it for time immemorial. Go have a go at arseholes on the tube, not men trying to better themselves.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full* "I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Killmonger. I have no ties to him or his struggle, but I heard him loud and clear.

MIGHT have answered a phone call yesterday with "Welcome to Dave's Crematorium: You kill it, we'll grill it" yesterday.

Round 2 at the Aberdeen Queer Arts Festival- and it's the community performance night. Of course, the plushie bairns wanted to come along (specifically Pastel, but Twinkle decided to be a diva again).

Less than two weeks into the first ever event at Aberdeen’s latest art space. Act my Age will hopefully be the first of many events and workshops etc to take place at the Eco Centre. tickets for Act My Age are only £8. Step out of your comfort zones and try something / somewhere different

Yesterday, after a relatively gruelling day at work, I decided to slightly betray my working class roots and use Deliveroo (ALWAYS tip your driver, btw). I noticed a whole bunch of restaurants without premises, or at least, not once I've ever seen. Here's a warning for you all...

With Pokémon now being able to level past 100 in the DLC, I cannot WAIT to bitchslap some random with a level 150 magikarp that knows Hydro Pump and is holding a quick claw.

I've had some rough sea crossings in my time, but these two are possibly the worst I've done and why...

Starting to think the Panda from those Egyptian cheese adverts had a point.

Okay- time we all realised what Democratic Socialism is. It means having a socialist government where the means of production are collectively governed by people, not big business, alongside a democratic form of government. In other words, society done properly.

Apparently Blue Sky has some sort of filth filter applied by default, so if you're not seeing this post maybe check your settings. For context, I took this in 2019 in Fountains Abbey. Shortly before a game of Bogies with my brother.

Square Enix announced layoffs across “nearly all areas” of its Western business in an all-hands meeting earlier today, VGC understands. vgc.news/news/square-...

The problem with my job is that, from time to time, you get folks from rival companies trying to poach you if you do well. A guy from a different company on a road trip from Leeds tried to poach me this morning.

Now that we've got past November 5th, can we please stop with the fireworks?

Sperm donor calls After my mum's new address Told him to do one. Biographical, but also Haiku.

Is there some major sportsball thing on tonight?

My wee brother Ste has discovered AI that lets you meet you from the future. Either I get more Mediterranean than I already am, or I become a massive Carlos Santana fan (oh wait, I am). I don't endorse this sort of thing, and he and I have had a LONG chat about why.

Is he dead yet?

Will Rivers Cuomo change his surname now? Or will he start wearing T shirts emblazoned with "the only Cuomo you can trust"?

A coffin makers in Inverurie is trialling glass coffins. Will they be popular? Remains to be seen

If you spin this vase really fast you can see this runner run into a post 😂👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums Panathenaic Prize Amphora, attributed to the Berlin Painter, c500 BCE, exhibited at Princeton Art Museum in 2017 😁

Dick Cheney died. Mamdani won the mayoral race in NYC. Is POTUS copping it too much to ask for?

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.
