Part mission statement, part tattoo

I’ve been enjoying Apple Music since ditching Spotify. However anytime I let it randomly pick songs for me, it selects Blur 100% more than I ever want to listen to Blur.

I’m working on the rigorous scientific theory that ‘Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash’ by the Replacements is the greatest album of all time.

Hello old friend.

My first Daredevil comic was 1986. I like that the tv show honours my near 40 year run now of thinking Matt Murdock is a fucking idiot

Scotland and England need to pull out of the world cup.

Delroy Lindo. It’s about time.

Its a trap. This is Freddy Krueger in disguise.

That feeling when you use the promise of the chocolate bar in the fridge to drag yourself about of bed. But then find out there is no chocolate bar in the fridge.

People are going to be so surprised when Wolves win the league…

A gentleman is someone who has an opinion about the Odyssey trailer, but doesn’t spend a day arguing about it online.

When it comes to pop culture, it's a swinging pendulum People are getting fed up with an internet filled with fakes and lies and cheap fantasies Mark my words: the next cultural swing will be in favor of truth and authenticity and real community

For those keeping track, “a goddamned miracle” is the second time WELCOME TO DERRY had reduced me to a blubbering wreck.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

ICYMI, the end of an era in T-minus..

Rewatching TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY and this movie gets better every time. Real masterpiece stuff.

You know someone who is a massively underrated actor? Dan Aykroyd. A pop culture icon in many ways, sure. But he built a career on playing so many different types of role.

Watching HIGH NOON and DIE HARD back to back is an interesting experience.

in the realm of "assholes in film" a special place is reserved for the reception guy in Die Hard who makes John McClane look up Holly's name before announcing "they're the only ones left in the building."

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

*taps mic* I’ll have some book news to share soon.

Read it as a teen, terrified by the sound of the window opening in Matt’s house. Read it as an adult, terrified by the scene of people knowing whats going on outside but refusing to look out their windows.

Why does ‘violence is not the answer’ and ‘this has gone too far’ apply instantly when a white christian dude (who was on record saying empathy was bad) gets killed, but not when the remains of brown babies are being scooped into shopping bags?

I've missed making the 'Hobbs Lane' signs (Quatermass And The Pit, 1958) so have made 25 available to pre-order, to ship in Nov. I've slightly improved on the original version with rounded corners, and thinner board to make it more in keeping with the original prop sign. hiddenbritain.bigcartel.com

THE COUNTY LINE is #12 in Heist Crime. Lordy. I need to write more Heist Crime. “It’s like Faulkner had a love child with a couple of Elmore Leonard’s 1930s-set novels.” —Nick Kolakowski www.amazon.com/TheCountyLine

I just hit 125 posts over at Torn Pages. If real pages of nonexistent books is your thing (and isn't it everybody's?) then head over there. Laughs abound. To make it even easier, the first 100 Torn Pages are free, free, free. Check it out here: www.patreon.com/c/tornpages

Sorry the Replacements hinted at something on Instagram so I can’t care about anything else for a little while

There’s a great song on the original Transformers soundtrack called DARE TO BE STUPID. Anyway. Don’t know why I thought of that.

Just when I’m ready to write Strange New Worlds off, it laughs at me and delivers a BANGER. Seeing Kirk, Scotty, and Spock together…magical.

@dsaarchaeology.bsky.social i’m pretty familiar with all the HP Lovecraft and Ignatius Donnelly strands in alt history but want to read up way more on theosophy, any books to recommend that written by real scholars?

Well, it’s official. Looks like i’m sticking around a wee bit longer. Time to figure out what I’m doing with my life.

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking
