- Big Green Books is ace, and buy a stranger a book day is ace: you really can just get a book for nowt. I did.
- Good to see the B-52’s releasing new material.
- This is genuinely terrible news.
- Just back from Is This On? Starts off a bit Kramer Vs Kramer to start with, but I guess you have to have a bit of misery in a breakup movie. Anyhoo, what do you do when you discover you quite like the person you’ve become when you take up something new? Don’t ask me, I’ve got no idea.
- Oh, 3.5/5 by the way. I know exactly why breakups make me so very uncomfortable, and yes, I need a lot of therapy.
- This makes me want to hunt posh people for sport.
- Times I’ve cried at blue whales today: 1.
- Incredible video of blue whales in Loreto, Mexico, and the unique whale-watching methods used there that involve complete passive boats, engines off, resulting in lower stress for the whales, and longer times between deep dives, and a better whale watching experience! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJxa...
- Just joined @letterboxd.social : see me at letterboxd.com/likesohushhu... . Currently my only watched films are Fight Club and Barbie, which is about right. Expect reviews of the form “it was a good film” or “lol it was shit” or some other Cahiers Du Cinema disquisition.
- Suzy Wrack is an Arsenal fan (and apparently a nice person) but I get a bit sick of her giving Arsenal Women a hard time, on this occasion for [checks notes] … winning the Champions Cup. It’s currently a flawed format, but surely a tiny congratulation is in order. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
- “Apparently a nice person” is not meant snidely: I don’t know her personally but she always seems nice in e.g. podcasts.
- Hugh Laurie’s very good as a baddie because he’s still funny. #TheNightManager
- We sure this isn’t one of @smolrobots.bsky.social ‘s?
