Basically, any form of Hip-Hop/Rap. It's all utter shite.

And so they should. It's utterly marvellous.

I've just finished the wonderful audiobook of social commentary "Service Model" by @aptshadow.bsky.social. I totally enjoyed it, as I have quite a number of this particular author's books. Highly recommended indeed. The narrator of the audiobook wasn't bad either. 😁

Which is nice, because it's my Audible day tomorrow. 😁

@aptshadow.bsky.social I've just finished listening to Alien Clay. What a joy the experience has been. One of relatively few "reads" where the "skip 30 seconds" button has been completely unused. Thank you for this glorious work. And thanks to the wonderful narrator too. Glorious stuff indeed. Wow.

Coupled with the fact that doorsteps everywhere will be decorated with pumpkins in various stages of decomposition until about February. Their state of decay will then permit the rain to wash the remaining sludge away at that time. Lazy bastards.

This is excellent news. Those who voted for the Children series obviously have excellent taste and I thoroughly agree with their choice. I enjoyed them all greatly. Thank you.

I'm of a similar age to you, I believe. I have voted in *every* election I've been eligible to participate in. I'd rather eat worms than vote for that shower of Tory shit. To do so would be a morally reprehensible act.

Yo, bluesky fucked up the photo posting UI real bad on the new Android version. You can't access Google Photos anymore, it uses some in-app browser thing that only shows recent photos and random albums. We all post too many selfies to accept this as the tradeoff for getting notifications.

President Jimmy Carter is said by his family to be in his final days. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to our nation as a whole, who will have lost a good and decent man.

Do the sensible thing and just put the text "Fuck the Tories" in all posts. πŸ˜‹
