Unpopular opinion: no it isn't. You're just posting a basic and stupid take on a subject in an effort to 'engage' people. You're the reason the Internet is worse than it used to be. You probably don't know how to use hashtags. Fuck off.

Rupert Lowe reminds me of what my father used to say: "if God wanted to give England an enema, He'd shove it up Yarmouth".

Quiet day. By which I mean photographing a wedding ceremony, leg day in the gym, Panthers game at the Ice Arena, and Mogwai at Rock City.

Oh I see you've posted some more AI slop. I assume you're spending your evening reading 50 Shades of Grey, listening to Imagine Dragons, and watching Mrs Brown's Boys.

YouTube needs to stop putting 'shorts' at the top of my search results.

The only reason Reform UK haven't unveiled their 'Labour defector' (it's Kate Hoey) yet is because Farage can't handle a press conference where all the questions will be about his relationship with Trump.

Hope is important, but hope is not a strategy.

Oh yeah, her track record is… not great

This, but louder.

I don't *like* Badenoch by any measure, but I'll allow that she's handled this whole Jenrick business pretty skillfully, to the point where I don't see how she could have done better. Chapeau.

Reform UK really are hoovering up the dregs.

I had an enormous amount of fun playing through that one. It's worth completing the artefact puzzles to unlock a small but important addition to the ending. Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure every time someone says 'holidays' or 'festive season', they're just doing it to wind up the sort of prick who genuinely thinks "you can't say 'Christmas' any more".

THESE DAYS, etc.

My increasingly mellow indifference to most things Christmassy still can't extend itself to the music, and *especially* the music that features children singing.

I'd rather listen to Buckch… no, it's still not that bad ;)

With time to kill in the (relatively) unfamiliar city of Lancaster, I took a very pleasant walk around the (proper) castle, the Priory, the Cathedral, and… the pubs. Found a halfway decent burger joint as well. Good showing.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

There are many times in life where a famous person is outed as a terrible person, and people say 'oh, I could always tell'. And this is a lie, because you cannot always tell. And these people are trying to make out like they're smarter than they are.

But with David Walliams…

As a music fan, I hope it brings you joy. Sucks when there's a feature clash, but I reckon you've made the right choice.

I have yet to click 'proceed'.

I understand why Plex wants me to pay for remote access away from my home network, that's reasonable, but when it's trying to charge me to watch something sitting on the same bloody hard drive it's time to give Jellyfin another look.

Basic standards must be maintained

*spelled

;)

if nobody has made this joke in 20 years of microblogging social media and it took a 58 year old singer-songwriter to get us there well then we just have to remember that sometimes the Lord uplifts an imperfect messenger for His purposes, to wit, my excellent joke

The worst thing about the Budget (and/or any political event) is realising how ignorant and reactionary people are. I get that it's complex, but the speed at which people throw out opinions without any effort to understand even the basics is really depressing.

Those who know me well know that I am *very* bad at watching films. Those of you who know me less well might assume that I automatically don't like anything popular.

With that in mind, see if you can guess which popular eighties movie I've *finally* got round to watching, and think it's fantastic.

My own politics aside, I'm astonished that anyone still thinks Corbyn is the answer to anything.

Let him diminish, and go into the West (End), and remain a nuisance.

Storm means I can't make the Space Monkeys show at the Deaf Institute in Manchester this evening, free ticket if you're over that way and want a nostalgia hit.

Louvre heist: 'Fedora man' in viral picture revealed as local teenager The mystery youth in the photo turns out to be Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux, a 15-year-old detective fan.

Oh look, the guy who was widely reported as being a real detective was a kid playing dress-up
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

(not a criticism of the kid, mind, he looks sharp, just a comment on shitty social media 'news')

Exactly that!

I'm in a place where I think Randle and DiVincenzo are good guys and are good for the team, and I want them to do well, and I want KAT to thrive on the Knicks, and I would *love* to see him get a ring. And really, I'd like to see him come back to us to end his career.

We can dream.
