There's a juvenile starling that's fighting off any adults that try to land on the birdfeeder.

Oh yay The Bug Club have released their song again.

Now I feel like a massive nerd for putting my film collection in alphabetical order (albeit split into "horror" and "other" sections).

Sorry to anyone who coming to this (ha!), but it's now being postponed until after my chemo has finished. Just as my italo disco t-shirt I was going to wear on the night arrived as well FFS.

Firefox keeps pushing clickbait links from something called Far Out Magazine for articles which are always something like "20 sequels from 1996 which should be deleted from history" or "10 characters from 1996 which should be deleted from history" and can everyone involved fuck off please?

Got the most Brits At It Again, indie-hater enraging potential pick for the 1996 @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social. I'll bloody give you Britpop matey.

Went for: hedgehog, fox, puffin, barn owl (though was tempted by the great spotted woodpecker due to having one on my garden recently), bumblebee and common frog. Any of these would be better than what we have now though.

Again, a lot of luck involved on a couple here www.maptap.gg June 3 99🎯 99🎯 99🎯 93🎉 96🔥 Final score: 963

In unlikely coincidence news following the @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social #PWC26, I've just randomly been allocated the great country of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the World Cup sweepstakes at work 🇧🇦

Fuck it. Greek takeaway and Hammer Time homework time! In this case the 1966 classic THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES.

CN: cancer. Getting the proper, nasty side effect works for 18 weeks. Yay. Worst thing is my immune system will be fucked, so I'll have to avoid gigs (like the Good Flying Birds and Hurry ones I was really looking forward to) and almost certainly can't do Celluloid Screams. 2026 is a real cunt.

[ ableism, suicide mention ] coming from the country trying very hard to bring in assisted suicide, this is fucking terrifying less a slippery slope and more a full vertical drop into coercive suicides to cut healthcare costs if it's even considered suicide if you're not considered a person

Hopefully this Supreme Court ruling that disabled people don't actually have human rights and aren't actually human will show at least *some* people why, despite wanting terminally ill people to have the right to end their suffering, I oppose any introduction of legalised euthanasia.

So with some pretty fucking extreme racism in the mainstream now in UK politics im sure nothing untoward will come from the fact the EHRC just opened the door to “being uncomfortable with sharing a space with certain people” being a fine reason to segregate people

remember when zack polanski mildly criticised 2 individual police officers and the response was an immediate furious press statement, I'm sure they'll react the same way to matt here accusing the entire police force of being racist against whites

Surprised and disappointed not to see Abtisam Mohamed's name on yet.

I have a 47-year-old record player that still works (just don't look at the tape deck). I wonder how many newer record players will be functional nearly five decades later?

Hmmmmm. "Race" by Tiger, "Sugar Is Sweeter" by CJ Bolland or Goldbug's cover of "Whole Lotta Love" for my main?

I can't believe they cancelled my favourite show after one series! They should have let it run for 8 seasons, like that show I used to like but now hate with an incontinent passion.

This is the first skeet that's going make a 100 million dollar movie for A24.

6 Music playing a song featuring noted Rowling defender Irvine Welsh on their Pride day is it.

CN: cancer Chemotherapy appointment booked for tomorrow morning

Either everyone was being a bit more polite than usual in the @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social #PWC26, possibly because of the songs being lesser known, or I've just blocked all of the main offenders. It was a pleasure to engage with though, unlike the 2025 one where I just gave it up as a bad job.

Love being about 5 different waist sizes in M&S. It's always basically a lottery if something's going to fit. They also got one of my items wrong on this delivery. First world problems I know, but sort it out yeah?

Off to York for the day next Monday. Hopefully be able to pick up a ghost from York Ghost Merchants. Will certainly do some sightseeing/hit a couple of craft beer places.

Wearing a snood. My popshow promoting thing being called "Macho Music Is Stupid" (which has also been called ableist).

Watched (and enjoyed) THEY WILL KILL YOU earlier, and somehow didn't clock that that was Paterson Joseph. Or that Harper from INDUSTRY is in it.

Unexpected.

If you're a white person experiencing racism in Britain, no you're not. What you're experiencing is that people don't like you.

I watching THEY WILL KILL YOU and will definitely stay awake until the end.

If you see a post about anyone on social media and reply with "who?" then you're a cunt. You're one tiny step above the "didn't happen" vermin. Just do an Internet search you prick. Or stop being a dickhead. Your choice.

The "is there a sportsball event happening?" posts are the spiritual twin of those "never heard of her, is she supposed to be famous?" posts from middle-aged men under photos of Kim Kardashian

I keep thinking I need to rewatch this film to try and see what everyone else sees in it, but it's so loud and exhausting that I can't be arsed.

"There are too many horror films these days" spotted in the replies

Happy 40th birthday to one of the greatest films ever made.

I once walked from Liverpool Street to Dalston and my London friends looked at me like I was mental when they found out. It's like two miles. Two *flat* miles.

Look at the pure joy!!

Blu-ray of Werner Herzog's NOSFERATU and the 4K of Henri-Georges Clouzot's THE WAGES OF FEAR for £21. Sorted.

The next time a director says bullshit like this, I want the interviewer to ask: "If AI was around when you made your other films, which artists would you have fired?" I mean it. Name real fucking names. Of all the brilliant people you worked with, who do you think doesn't deserve a job anymore?

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.
