And while I wasn't referring specifically to him in my last, I've not read any of his comics or books / collaborations, his filthy hands are smeared over stuff that I do love. So, yeah, fuck Neil Gaiman, and anyone questioning the validity of the claims made against him.

Before I drop an Audible credit I now feel compelled to check whether the author isn't a known terf, anti-vax, climate change denier, racist, tinfoil hatter, sexual abuser...

There are sci-fi / fantasy authors I feel dirty having pissed away credits on after discovering they're known shitheads.

I've enjoyed watching the women's rugby 7's more than I've enjoyed any men's game in recent memory, and I don't give a flying fancy fuck how many blokes disagree: jog on gatekeepers.

I also love reading posts of folks only now discovering the game because of it.

Watching Olympic skateboarding.
Whoa!

I know Cobra Kai is meant to be hammy fun, but I'm just not glued to this final season having really enjoyed the previous. It feels like a greatest hits compilation, and predictable for it; reinforces that Daniel has always been a jerk.

Young John Kreece should get a spin-off. Great casting there!

Been rooting for Jasmine Paolini in the tennis, and I just found out we have the same birthday. 🤘

I visited Canada during the 1996 Olympics - Ottawa, Quebec (where my father proposed to my late stepmother), and Calabogie.

Loved the country and people so much I always root for Canada over GB.

Other half and I are saving to go to Toronto in the next few years.

Have they tried turning it off and on again?

Just tried haggis. Not sure if it's comparable to a faggot. 🤔

Murray is washed up, Raducanu is on the up. End of analysis. 🎾

Four of my (Newport) staff have ticked Reform as a 'protest vote', to keep Lab/Con 'on their toes', because of 'the migrants'...

Sadly, being a manager, I can't reply with, "fucking fuck the fuck off you filthy fascist fucking fucks".

Biting so many bullets that I'm going to be shitting shrapnel for a week.

That artwork. 👌❤️

Looking through late Grandfather's vinyl. Classical albums from 50's & 60's; a 9 LP Readers Digest, 6 LP Karajan set. Several Rachmaninoff LPs. Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' from its release year: pristine.

I love digital music for its portability and convenience, but when I bump-off, 'going through Chris' music collection, mostly mp3 but some ripped in 24bit FLAC!', doesn't have the same ring does it?

Adobe only amended it because they got caught. Always keep local copies of your shit, especially if you're using the cloud.

There are other people and forums that cover 'Dot and Bubble' with greater nuance than I can - and I'd advise you read the Reddit because there's layers to unpack in this one.

All I have to say on this episode, other than I hope some people were left feeling uncomfortable, is that I owned 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' on both cassette and vinyl, and I won't be judged for it. #DoctorWho

Wherefore art thou get-up-and-go? 😴

DuckDuckGone? 😐

First series one #DoctorWho episode I've enjoyed so far.

I don't like babies, let alone creepy talking ones. The Beatles are meh, musicals are meh-meh; dance numbers that aren't Morecambe and Wise, Two Ronnies, or Monty Python are meh-meh-meh.
