Thoroughly recommend 'Super Nintendo' by @mackeza.bsky.social. It gives a really interesting look into how and why Nintendo came to create their games and really makes you want to go back and play them all.

Yes to 90s day on 6music!

Even when the McAllister's aren't losing Kevin they're proper useless parents.

6music playing the first Stone Roses album in full and I am struggling not to belt out I am the resurrection to the top deck of this bus.

We need libraries for so many reasons. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Jj72 on 6music this morning is certainly a blast from the past.

Can get the kids a Boro shirt with Hackney on the back now...

First Boro manager to be younger than me 😭😭😭

Great to have @johnhiggs.bsky.social in the Central Library tonight to talk about his book on Dr Who. Fascinating and a really engaging speaker.

Good grief Andor season 2 was just genuinely brilliant. Not sure I'll be able to watch Rogue One again now.

Philip Pullman announces The Rose Field, the final part of Lyra’s story www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Happy birthday to Sean Bean who, despite dying multiple times, turns 66 today. To celebrate here’s a compilation of him as Sharpe saying ‘bastard’. Enjoy. youtu.be/tE8d-uGmIWk?...

South Yorkshire sunset was the easiest preorder in ages.

Loving @laurenlaverne.bsky.social back on 6music. It's been too long!

Well that was a classic nice evening out with your mate ruined by having to watch a football game in the middle.

IP suddenly a thing that matters is it?

A 6 week and counting wait for CT scan results is doing nothing for anxiety.

"they have no idea I'm here" MY GOD WHAT HAS SHE TOLD HER CHILDREN ##thetraitors

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.” “A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

100% this. I don't think Minah goes if Joe is still there

Oh Freddie.

Well look at this cultural connoisseur just starting the first series of Peaky Blinders.

£38 quid a ticket the thieving gits!

Presumably actually being on the Traitors sends you a bit weird because lying during a winner takes all game and then getting voted off for it is just useless behaviour.

Buses in Sheffield continue to be massively unreliable in 2025 and they've managed to put up fees for the service too...

York looking very Jonathan Strange today.

The pork and apple jus that's come with the porchetta I'm doing has exactly the same colour and consistency as the contents of my stoma bag so honestly looking forward to it with a bit of trepidation...

Excellent version 💙📚 #booksky

Goodness we are deep into amateur season at the pub...

Very much enjoying Skeleton Crew so far. Really charming.

Ah that special time of year when your kids watch you tidy the house so they can put Christmas decorations up...

And I just really like the guy. So I’m thrilled that he is actually coming back on 10th April next year, investigating the death of a real estate agent on the beach of a run-down holiday town…

Grail item unlocked. Thanks as ever to @beartreerecords.bsky.social for being a brilliant shop.

Sure. Here's my Bluesky essay: Why Libraries Are Essential by Anth Sinnott 💙📚 This is going to take a 🧵 of a few posts and will make liberal use of links to reports & studies that provide the underpinning data without Bluesky space limitations 1/?

I think @nadiashireen.bsky.social needs to do a 'Barbara throws a wobbler' sequel for parents losing their rags with annoying 6 year olds.

Good grief.

Already Christmas market time in Sheffield.

Quick add that writers get paid if you borrow a book from a U.K. library. It's not keeping anyone in champagne and caviar but I know some writers say it can make the difference between being able to write and not.

Relatedly, an example of how social media has overdramatised politics is watching people react to “things Labour did 1997 to 2001, or 1964 to 1966” as if they are signs of screaming incompetence or electoral collapse.

Home alone so watching the new Bad Boys (mainly after @stephenkb.bsky.social film thread recommendation) and yeah that is a good Saturday night.

These books are cracking. My 6 year old loves them.

Never Boro playing well, not taking chances and conceding an unnecessary goal? Doesn't sound like us at all.

Sub-skeeting everyone in UK political Bluesky here, but: the big story is that the government has been in power for around 71 days and the next election won't be for at least 1300 days, and frankly any takes about the polls, the government's strategy are premature at best or downright wrong at worst

Something I do not understand at all: why does NaNoWriMo have to have a position on AI? They’re not like… paying people to write those novels are they? (Are they?) I think this might be another example of “you didn’t need to have an opinion on this. You don’t have to have an opinion on everything.”

Really sad news about Sol Bamba. He recovered from cancer and signed for Boro just after I'd had cancer surgery and was honestly incredibly inspiring. By all accounts he was also one of the nicest people you'll meet.

All I'm saying is woohoo presale

Might have taken this too far, but here is a chart showing the price of a pint of beer relative to incomes in Britain from 1259 to 2023. Pints were cheapest in 1462 when pints were the modern day equivalent of £1.39. If you think beer is expensive now, be grateful you aren't drinking in 1315.
