Nice to see that years as the leader of a war-torn country hasn’t dulled Zelenskyy’s comedy chops:
GLENN: Why don’t you wear a suit? You’re at the highest level in this country’s office & you refuse to wear a suit. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a suit after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.
Like his book on The KLF, Love and Let Die by John Higgs in many ways uses its subjects as a launchpad for musings on a wider cultural history. Very highly recommended.📚
I’m opening up a 70s pub. No TV, no lager, port and lemon for the wives, and pickled eggs behind the bar.
You know it’s a bad game when Lee Dixon is using the word ‘dull’ #facup
I see David Tennant has regenerated into Peter Capaldi.
Hardly a ringing endorsement for China’s Deepseek AI.
We went to a retro-arcade today in Bury. It was ace, but I now have pins and needles in my fingers.
Winter isn’t going anywhere. ❄️
Currently listening to The Dead of Winter on BBC Sounds. It’s making me want to go and read the full book. 📚

That’s the thing about football. Once the opposition realise you are human beings, and not a relentless winning machine, things can fall apart very quickly.
After an afternoonon of looking at terrible album covers (thank you Warrington Art Gallery), it’s time for some cake and coffee.
Here’s a site which shows random videos on YouTube using the standard ‘IMG’ file naming.
It’s from a time (2009 - 2012) before staged, engagement-baiting content, when people wanted to just share what was important to them.
The Onion buying Infowars is totally on-brand and magnificent. theonion.com/heres-why…
This is how I roll now.
Trying a Five Guys hot dog and fries for the first time. It’s okay but, honestly, Cafe at the end of the Universe in Warrington is much, much better.
This is like a modern Argos catalogue for 80s kids.
