...and to follow that up, I've got some gorgeous #StGermain from the Tourist album. Positive AND productivity-inducing. @bluenoterecords.bsky.social #ludovicnavarre youtube.com/playlist?lis...

What I love about 70s prog rock is the sheer transcendent positivity of it. My favourite example being Northern Lights by Renaissance. Get a little lift. Have a listen. youtu.be/HKBJqHvQvjg?...

I have become sniffly already and winterishness has only just started. I have demanded cake, the best medicine.

A is claiming that she had #PHP installed, and that's why my morning coffee in bed hasn't arrived. Damn you, #AI!

I've got to say, new school reckless electric taxi driving isn't immensely different from old school taxi driving. The acceleration is equally as bad.

If you are a tiny spider, I will allow you to live, but if you are a tick you will be destroyed. This sums up my feelings about Elon Musk.

Ok it's a bit creepy, but you know what niggles me most is that if "speedwatch" is all one word the initials shouldn't be CSW. It's got a worrying clipart/AI feel.

Actually, maybe I prefer BRARRIVAL, as it sounds a bit more #ABBA.

Can't wait for us to #BRENTER Europe!

With the 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh, I think it's time for his debut as the new #doctorwho ...

I might be trapped in a Myst-like video game. #yorkshiresculpturepark

If #Badenoch ever did build a dome, I assume it would be kemispherical? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A little PSA for our #daggerheart group.

Remain calm. The extraordinary Mr B is back with #ChapHop History II! #gentlemanrapper youtu.be/KAkl8FlGpT4?...

I think the answer is clear on how to punish #ManchesterCity for fraud. Compulsory renaming the club to Manchester Shitty for five years. #wisdomofsolomon youtu.be/m_l52IF6H0Q?...

And gorgeous #Canada too 🤩

Hang on. Does everyone get to stand up, moan and winnick about whatever they want at the #UN? Was it always like this? Has the UN suddenly become relevant?

Let he who is without butter cast the first stone. #forgiveness

The Beech. The Sistene Chapel of trees.

A long while ago, on the advice of a wise old friend, I took to saying nothing about books or any creative venture I don't enjoy. Just to be clear, though. I've just taken several boxes of books that didn't make the cut to the charity shop. I hope someone else finds joy in them.

I have an announcement.

New acquisitions in project anti-streaming. All for less than the price of a month on Spotify.

Yesterday was #legday, and now, as I ascend the stairs, I make an involuntary sound that sounds like an incantation by Mola Ram, high priest of the Thuggee. And yes, he's available as #Lego.

I can see BRICS struggling to maintain a straight face with any agreement that its members will "never break". www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

I'd just like to mention that books don't come with advert breaks.

Getting assistance #writing this morning.

David Mitchell is single-handedly responsible for the massive increase in murders in the #Cambridge area. If you see him, do not approach; contact the police. #ludwig

Luddites Before Wicket. That's a terrible innings for team Balaclava, All out for 0.

I was improvising a bit and stumbled into playing the Rocky theme. It was lots of fun. I even tried to capture the Liberty Bell clanging effect. Dong! Dong! Dong!

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Hummus was invented in 1978, right? That's the first time it was ever seen in Britain... 😆 Along with the first olive 🫒

I mean, make the whole thing in white like navy pilots, and you could have saved yourself a million "something something dark side" jokes.

I had a dream where I lost my backpack, and I was really annoyed. Then I reminded myself that in a dream, things happen that won't be true when you wake up. When I woke up, I was relieved that my backpack was there, and it took me a while to realise what an odd dream it was.

I think it's worth mentioning to #book event organisers that if you want authors to attend, contribute or support, you'll need to use a real domain name at the very minimum. Otherwise, you'll be rightly ignored, as the number of awards, events, and speaking emails from junk senders is unmanageable.
