When your kids complain about having to help you with technical things for the billionth time, just remind them who taught them how to use a spoon and how to not shit themselves.

October 2020, I did my first ever long-distance trail after being cooped up in lockdown. It rained solidly for the first two days, I didn't care, I had the entire Great Glen Way almost entirely to myself. This was my camp spot on the shore of Loch Lochy. #alphabetChallenge #weekMforMemories

Oh. You're all still here.

Ooh... and wine cellars! Yes! Let me look after your wine cellar. I'll take very good and appreciative care of it.

Since I am absolutely guaranteed to still be here post-rapture, I'm happy to look after your wallets/stash/pets/bitcoin/home/vinyl collection if you're expecting to, y'know, magically leave tomorrow. Apply below.

@sentimentbot.bsky.social go on then, do your thang

if my fridge showed me an ad, I would execute the toaster right in front of it, just to set an example

Coventry Cathedral, today #alphabetChallenge #weekLforLines

So now this seems to be happening again... hopefully something will come of it this time.

I need to get back to this form of music-making. Barely any prep, no DAW, one-take improv. Looking back, it's where all the best moments are, it's where all the best (and most terrifying) gigs came from. Seat-of-the-pants stuff. Love it, miss it. youtu.be/1ENeahv8o6k?...

Dug out the old dock that I knew I had *somewhere* and added my old 120GB iPod to my audio setup. Now I can easily get all my digital-only music alongside my physical media.

Provo, Utah... you OK? Seem to be going through some stuff, y'know?

This entire thread is hilarious, possibly evil, genius

I will no longer be polite with the small handful of people that I know support the increasingly-extreme right. If you march with fascists, you are fascist. If you support fascism, you are fascist. If you excuse fascist views, you are fascist. I will not tolerate it in my space. #politics

Labour MPs today call for new legislation to extend a right of responsible access to more English landscapes, and for the right to swim and wild camp to be enshrined in law @righttoroam.bsky.social inputted to this new report from the APPG for access to nature: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Have decided that I'll tag any overtly political tweets that I make with #politics, for the benefit of anyone who wishes to mute such. Fair enough?

As anticipated, having climbed on Saturday for the first time in a good while, this morning I am beset by day-after-the-day-after aches and stiffness.

I feel like the "Unite the Kingdom" day-out-for-racists was missing a few flags... where were the dragons and saltires? Stupid bastards can't even shag a flag properly.

i like that david lynch’s house looks exactly what you’d imagine david lynch’s house would look like

This is such an excellent, elegant, incredibly cheap policy idea.

Muscle-memory is such an amazing thing. After years off, I can tie-in, belay, climb, even lead-climb, with no thought at all about what I'm doing or how I'm doing it - it all just kinda works, safely, thanks to thousands of hours of repetition decades ago.

A visit to my spiritual home. Checked in to a booking/customer system that I coded nearly 20 years ago.

Hoping that the walks between buses and trains today anti-coincide with the rain. I'm sure there's a better word but I can't think of it right now.

Happy Breakaway Day, to all that observe and celebrate. Remember that the best way to commemorate the lost crew of Alpha is to go about your duties as normal; those Eagles aren't gonna crash themselves, kids.

#nowPlaying Persistence of Love by @lofive.bsky.social, on the @castlesinspace.bsky.social label. Belter of an album; lush & wobbly downtempo dreamstates. It might also be the prettiest piece of vinyl that I own.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

The shadow of your rights, captured at the moment they were vapourised

Me: Hey, I've got some oddball little synth tunes that I made, would you perhaps like to...? World:

Oh, y'know, thoughts, prayers, suchlike, I suppose.

I've developed a new app that checks your privilege. It's on the Apple app store now, costs £99 and only works on the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

In a fit of optimism I cleaned the car; hoping that Monday's procedure will lead to me being able to drive again. #alphabetChallenge #weekJforJetBlack

All my school discos return to haunt me, but nevertheless... tune. #totp

OMD still sound exactly like this. Incredible. #totp

I bet Van Day's family had a VCR before anyone else on the street. And a sodastream. He looks the sort. #totp

Interesting (some would say bold) trouser choice by Cope, there #totp

Wtaf is meant to be going on with that 'tache? #totp

Oh jfc no #totp

Aw man, now I really want to watch Jaws again #proms

Imagine having to whistle as the soloist for an orchestra. Good grief. What if you dried up? Terrifying. #proms

Oh. How embarrassing. Like, for everyone involved. #totp

There is nothing redeemable about Steps. Prove me wrong. #totp

I've been troubled by similar thoughts for a while...

It arrived. It was a mission getting it into the house, but it's here now and it's fab.

A "huge gash in the new rose garden"... is surely not a polite way to refer to the First Lady?
