Another short one to start the year: The Man Who Planted Trees www.goodreads.com/book/show/75...

List of right wing horrors picked as guests for BBC flagship today, not even one presentable left, liberal, or worthwhile guest. Any notion of balance or even old-fashioned tokenism absent

First book of the year down. Escaping reality in a rural idyll is quickly becoming my genre of choice. I wonder if that says anything about the state of things...out there. A Month in the Country www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Driving home from Aldi on a Sunday with a carrot hanging out of my mouth.

My life is so dull that Google thinks a photograph of an old clothes horse is a standout highlight for my 2025 recap.

The worse Google gets, the more I find myself longing for a more primal internet experience: and the joy of clicking a link when you didn't know what awaited on the other side.

Hooray! The only thing apparently worth saying about comedy - that it’s being gagged - is being said once again by someone who’s done absolutely fucking fine by being allowed to do whatever comedy he wanted in an extremely friendly environment that no longer exists, for purely economic reasons.

The origin of this story is hilarious: the MoD accidentally revealed the locations of new munitions factories because they tried to redact a PDF by *highlighting the secret bits in black*, meaning you could still copy and paste all the original text.

Introducing: Nuts - edible wood!

The govt. and MPs voted for a waste of time, resources and tax payers money all in a bid to stop people opposing genocide. Deranged behaviour from the people we put in charge of the country.

The best response to Abundance talk is a single tweet from Ruairi Wood, RIP brother.

Every lad under 25 at Fontaines tonight had this haircut.

In a tent that isn't adequate for this Large Body, between two Bronze Age burial mounds. Friday nights are better now.

Parasite becomes aggressive. Sure all the musicians looking at our £0.0003 Spotify payouts for our work are delighted this is what our fans’ money went towards instead, and the fans equally pleased. Artists are always very in favour of war, traditionally.

⚒️🧪 Thick black goop pouring from the earth is a horror often seen in TV shows or movies. Fortunately this is an amazing geological feature, and not a malevolent monster! This 1956 pic is of a natural bitumen or asphalt seep pouring into a mine shaft in Lettomanoppello, Italy. 🧵 Pic: Cazzini (2018)

Started watching Yellowstone out of morbid curiosity. Lads, it's just cows, it's not that serious. You're just meant to be on Blue Peter wearing a single extra long rubber glove. Also, Kevin Costner should have his farm taken off him by the government to turn it into a national park.

It's true! It is lunch breakable! I played it with a bowl of chilli and rice and it was double atmospheric, interested to see how it performs with other food combinations! Give it a whirl!

Royal Observer Corps Monitoring Post. This cutaway illustration began as a personal project in 2011, and I updated it in 2015. Although it deals with a rather bleak subject, I'm amazed at how much attention this image has grabbed. It's been shared millions of times, and usually out of context!

My advice for anyone thinking of becoming a dentist? Teeth. You HAVE to know what teeth are. Look it up online or watch an explanatory video on teeth. Whatever you need to do, do it. Because if you think you can succeed in the dental business without learning what teeth are, you're kidding yourself.

City 17 holds such an important space in my heart and sparked my love of Brutalist architecture before I knew what it was. Incidentally, the imposing concrete obelisks of my youth paired well with Antonov's fantastic art direction, adding to the uncanny nostalgia of HL2 for me.
