Mostly up for sci fi, comics, game and rock and roll, plus a bit of politics. More of a listener than a talker.
- I really wish Peter Mandelson would just fuck off. His heart may well be in the right place, but the rest of him has been demonstrably and repeatedly wrong over many decades.
- Ok forget what I said about his heart being in the right place. Even that wasn’t true.
- I saw Sly Dunbar with Robbie Shakespeare in 2003 at the Royal Festival with my (now ex) wife who was 8 months and 3 weeks pregnant with our first child. That kid got a lot of bass that night.
- Is it just impossibly naive to expect Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer to work together for the benefit of the people of the UK? They will end up fighting over a poisoned chalice without ever understanding that it is they who poisoned it.
- We ought to be able to manage micro transactions for individual articles these days. I’d pay £1 to read a single article but I am not going to sign myself up for £60 a year on the basis of a single link.
- Especially when it’s bound up in a trial offer which sees you locked in for life because the unsubscribe process is like cracking the enigma code.
- Omfg £49 just went out of my account for Prospect! Complete coincidence, but I feel validated!
- @neillcameron.bsky.social Thanks for that really fun session. Here is Hugo’s rendition:
- He’s now on a Donut-drawing tear and unwilling to come to the library, despite our mounting overdue book debt.
- I think “Meat Thermometer” would be a good band name. Coincidentally, I have just bought a meat thermometer.
- Godspeed, @tinstargames.bsky.social ! So sad to hear the news. I knew Steve off and on for 30 years, starting in the olden days on rpg.net and had the privilege to be part of “SteveCon” when he was living in the UK. He brought so much joy and fun to the world, we’re poorer for his passing.
