Hope these guys have a good night

Fine

My latest novel is published in paperback on July 2nd. If you pre-order from Blackwell's they'll send it with FREE international delivery & that will help the book get into shops blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro... Charles was on the edge of his seat, open-mouthed, all the way through (see alt text).

@whatismusicpod.bsky.social I’m so glad you’ve finally said the thing about Einar I’ve been WILLING you to say since week 1: “DJ _sucks_”

I wrote about bones (well, my daughter's) for #scoliosis awareness month which is happening right now!

Frank Cooper sits on a throne of lies

Tolkien Festival at Sarehole Mill today and the pizza stand nailed the name.

Already got “Tielemans Drinking Tea” and “John McGinn Thumbs Up” saved as WhatsApp stickers.

Absolutely still one of the best books of this century. Put whatever management bullshit book you are reading down and read this tale of discovery. Third time for me. Always makes me chuckle. (I’ve got Higgs’ Blake book next, bought at the wonderful Waterstones in Bradford on my wedding day.)

Blob for the Blob God

YEEEEEEEPPPPP

If we get to 85 minutes and we're still three up, we should bring on Harvey Elliott. Send the lad home with a medal. #avfc

This is the best match build up post 😻

Just ran past a fella who’d clearly gone out this morning in his Arsenal shirt, all full of pride, but come six o’clock he’s fucking _done_ with strangers giving him the thumbs up and saying “congratulations”

I think the problem with posting, and we've got ample evidence of this now going on 20ish years, is that it's apparently a lot easier to make people evil and crazy with posts than it is to make them decent and kind.

The owners claim that some of the issues stem from the enforced name change, but I'm not really buying that. The shops are in the same locations. They sell the same stuff. They look almost identical, except for the name above the door. Who was shopping there before but has stopped shopping now?

Picture doing the rounds of a guy trying back doors around our ends. Can’t believe Street Hawk fell on hard times

My family: Jon is very hard to buy gifts for Me: the creator of Halt & Catch Fire is selling something. I don’t really understand what it is but I I need it in my marrow; how hard is it really?!

people think AGI is so close And yet I asked my music app to create a “station” starting with Steal My Sunshine by Len and it did not follow it with Drinkin in LA by Bran Van 3000 keep going guys

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

Lmao this year there’s a _queue_ to enter the *ballot* to get my annual London Marathon rejection

Tonight is “The One Where They Finish a Complete Rewatch of Friends”. It’s been great. Netflix lost rights halfway through and we had to buy the DVDs from their one true supplier: Oxfam 😅

social media was a wonderful brain toilet for every random half thought you didn't want to bother real people with before they decided to move all of society and infrastructure and government inside of the toilet

I’ve not seen salt and pepper crisps in the shops for over a month. Are they all coming through the Strait of Hormuz or something?!

I bet a car could do this no problem, who cares. They’re the same to me

Akira IMAX was really great. And the screening was absolutely packed. Well worth the trip out.

Kemi Badenoch! Roger Scruton! MattGPT! Bari Weiss! Rod Dreher! Jair Bolsanaro! Howard from the Halifax adverts! JD Vance? You hear me JD Vance? Your boy took a hell of a beating! Your boy took a hell of a beating!

It wasn’t sequels that made Pixar bad. Pixar was only good when every movie was a tech demonstration.

for every 20 likes, I will give Ed Baldwin more cheese on his spaghetti

Definitely coming back here when I unlock bombs.

Lyra was a great person. Let's hope that something good comes out of her sad death.

Just started watching The Lowdown and I’m pleased to see it has the good TV show yellow title card and the sepia colour grade.

Can’t even have Spurs appoint Jermain Defoe as their interim manager. Because of Woking.

Shortest reign for a Tudor since Lady Jane Grey

Just did a local 10km race that I’ve not done for years. instead of shirts and/or medals they just had an optional table of branded running goodies. Pick one. No date on them. Felt good, felt like the right idea. Have something. Don’t have something. Pick that this year, something else next time

For the first official installment of a new column called In Theory, Andy looks at the way a single chord can turn the entire meaning of a song on its head www.hearingthings.co/townes-van-z...

Over the past three or four model refreshes, the laces on all brands of size 9.5 - 10 running shoes have become too short

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Congratulations, you are watching a good TV show

Look I don’t want to dwell on appearances too much here but yesterday Hannah Spencer brought a message of hope, dressed like Doctor Who (complimentary) Shabana Mahmood did this, dressed like the “are we the bad guys sketch”
