that’s woke 2.0 for you. Jazz is for dingy clubs at midnight.

bloody hipsters liking jazz. It was the root of so much music that followed and I like virtually everything that followed it but would chuck my 400 quid headphones in the river rather than listen to Jazz. Blues I love.

My wife likes Jazz so maybe you’ve just injected liking it.

Hes probably just drowned a tick that scaled up to human size would be the size of a basketball.

You didn’t just assume it must be bojo and move on with your life.

I own one depeche mode album - 101, their live concert album. Easily in my top 10 favourite albums, do not care about the rest as they were the ultimate filler band. Also as a child we used to call “Master and Servant” “Bastard and Pervert” because we knew nothing,

Thats probably a good idea but swap the smoking for Space Drug X that somehow turns out to be sentient on page 203.

It may be peak bluesky to cancel a load of authors that died in the 80s. I think all Americans now should just read Handmaids Tale and think about what they’ve done.

i don’t think in golden age sci fi women were allowed to have “girlfriends”. Probably there was a quota on female characters.

Of course one thing is missing from the discussion which is reader agency. Mara could also be talking about any police procedural or detective story in a 50 year period.

Next weeks lunch will be a casserole.

Asimovs best work was his essays and his mysteries. I’m not going to blame him though for starting his writing career at a time when “ether” was still a thing. Watch the old Flash Gordon series - ship flies all the way to Mongo going past clouds all the way. That was only about 1940.

This to me is a little like discovering Ian Dunt is a secret Tory who actually thinks comics are for children.

I think times have changed, who knows what 1960s Marie would have done if the most popular author in the world had taken a shine to her. You only have to look at people still fawning over JKRs cash.

If you’d asked me yesterday I’d have said he was one of my favourite authors and now I don’t know.

Curious I read all of his fiction when I was a teenager in the 80s and quite a lot of his non fiction and him being a lecherous prick never made it into any of is autobiographical writing. I was 22 when he died, don’t know what impact the knowledge would have had then. Now I wish I didn’t know.

I love the fact it all sounded like they just walked in and started playing like they’d come from the pub. I used to love John Peel sessions. Shame he died - he loved everything. His 1001 albums would have been interesting.

A pleasant surprise. I tried to get my car to play “Baby Monster - Psycho” to my wife today and instead it played “Monster Psycho” by the KPop band “Baby”. It wasnt terrible but wasn’t brilliant.

I love the beeb album. That and his greatest hits. I’m a simple soul when it comes to to a lot of music but I do listen to a wide variety just not deep.

Have you listened to Bowie at the Beeb? I don’t know if the tracks on it were from his albums because they were all over the place. He sings “port of Amsterdam” which I love and they are all basically sung live probably with John Peel in the background thinking about dying before Yewtree starts up.

It appears that's all on Prime now. Last year the licensing lapsed and half of it was on prime and half you had to buy.

My recommendation would be to watch Severance twice but there's a lot of good scifi at the moment - Fallout, Silo, Foundation plus everything netflix cancelled.

Ive watched this about 100 times.

This is why the internet was invented.

Right here.

Peak content.

That’s disappointing. It’s not like it’s hard to test even without a 4x3 monitor - windows has something called a “window” that can be any 2D shape you like.

I miss being a student when 1am was just a time it could be and not a reminder that I’m getting old so now get up an inconvenient number of times in the night. Cant Tell you how many times I have woken up with a start having dropped my iPad on my own face Falling asleep.

I feel sorry for the bomb disposal robot. Violated.

budget styropyro. Make yourself a tattoo remover and randomly take people’s tattoos off in the street.

Ken I applaud you. Your choices are so entertainingly American, beautifully centered by Cheezits. A British packed lunch would be a cheese and pickle (chutney) sandwich and an apple.

First half of Lego batman is the best batman film made apart obviously from the 1960s one. It gets the angst perfect. Then the film goes a bit silly. Also has the best joke though when dinner in the microwave turns out to be lobster.

100% they get him to record every dumbledore line from the books in season one and then I hope they go physical and for seasons 3 onwards when he‘s dead every scene is the back of his head. It didn’t work for Auf Wiedersehn Pet or Gladiator but this time I reckon it will.

Sports bean? Katie PEDs?

No kid rock residency?

Enjoyed both barbarians killing all the femboys and punch up my suicide note. Random comic confirmed.

Amazing he's predicting winter will continue until a few days before the start of spring.

Ironic really that the qanon people were not totally wrong, just wrong about who they thought was not involved. They thought weird codes were involved but the code turned out to be using the obscure word Harem to mean trafficked girls.
