…and this is a thing of beauty and a joy for ever

Well, as I’m sure you all know, we mark something important today. Yes: happy 45th anniversary of the thrremony at tremony at the liremony at the libraremony to all who celebrate

Those Yellow Eyes are rather good, aren't they? yelloweyes.bandcamp.com/album/confus... #MetalSky

Little Halloween treat? Something to read while it's rainy and cold outside? Smart people tend to notice that many of these stories, as well as being unsettling, are also quite funny. And they're working class writing that is entertaining, rather than like eating your greens.

UK Politics has just taken an unexpected turn...

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

No thanks!!!

Haha, awesome email subject line!

Borth Submarine Forest: A submerged forest, preserved in peat from the later Neolithic/ early Bronze Age, one of eight known submarine forests along the Welsh coast. Best visited after a storm, though in normal conditions some stumps are visible at or beyond the low tide line.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

@jmreynolds.bsky.social I was just reading The Wrath of N'Kai and I burst out laughing at the phrase "Chicago Typewriter" - thanks for bringing that into my life.

Before you all yell at me, my answer can be summed up as "fuck, no".

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Opeth needs to make another straight prog record like “Damnation”

Woke up to trending Peter Thiel, who'd be a Hanna-Barbera Bond villain if he weren't so dangerously deluded, and Kid Rock, a John Wayne stool that's so dense it immediate sinks to the bottom of the bowl and cracks the enamel.

I love that this episode of Twin Peaks is rated for age 6 and above. “Let me know when Paw Patrol is finished. I’ve got a new series I think you’ll love!”

Looks like he's making the wig do a silly voice...

Derwentwatter yesterday. Autumn is definitely making its presence known. We've had 5 days of cloud inversions in the Eden Valley. It's a lovely time of year.

Oops, I stopped doing this a while ago. Been skating pretty much very day since though! Great times, slowly improving and enjoying hanging out with a load of other old bastards #MiddleAgedSkateboarding

The passing of Tomas Lindberg is another huge blow to our scene. A true larger than life legend, whose instantly recognisable style was often imitated, but never bettered, he leaves behind a legacy of work that will live forever.

Curse everything about this. I know I'm dumb, but also email is dumb. https://e-mail.wtf

“Yes, the milkwalker definitely looks like a spooky cryptid, but I like the idea of him being a force for good, protecting the innocent by milkwalking all over the wicked from the shadows. He's terrifying, but terrifies only the deserving.” www.papergreat.com/2025/09/milk...
