I’ve heard good things about this Shakespeare guy.

The new Cure album sounds like a Cure album.

I just had a quick look at The Rest is Politics live stream on YouTube. They went to a commercial break, which lasted about two minutes, and the number of viewers went from 80,000 to 37,000 to 29,000 to 27,000.

On family holidays Gary Barlow takes a giant boy… but he only takes a minute girl. There, I’ve done one. N’Night.

I assume everyone tried TRUMP on todays’s NYT Connections?

Remember when we all tried using Mastodon?

My jam is the way Monica says “butter” on masterchef.

But… but… but… Andy Zaltzman said “one”. (I think.) #taskmaster Andy Zaltzman

I’m probably not going to post on here anymore. I am now at the other place: bsky.app/profile/davidm… (Note the “m” in the middle, because I messed up)

#Top24of24 Day 24 and the song that gave me more joy than any other this year: Happy World by Debbii Dawson. I played this repeatedly, whooping with glee each time it turned from a sad country ballad into a note-perfect homage to… Well, you’ll see: open.spotify.com/track/0kY86R5m…
