For anyone who has never seen this screen before this one is for you. Not to brag or anything but I've just completed the first Super Mario game after many many years of playing. I consider it a life achievement.

The world has gotten worse right? It's not just us getting older and realising we were ignorant to the troubles of the world? We haven't fixed anything since I was a kid. We found problems pointed them out and just continued on the same path.

Hey everyone in the UK a really really bad FREE VPN is Proton VPN. You definitely shouldn't download it to easily by pass the new online safety law. Also you definitely shouldn't download "duckduckgo" so your search history isn't saved. Don't use them together for extra security #onlinesafetyact #uk

I absolutely love it when I get sent this sort of stuff. I've recently just got an email of some amazing fan art. Thank you so much for showing me this. It means so much to me my music is connecting with you. I love it! ❤️

Let's say it louder for the people at the back
8 people have more money than four billion people combined. A single parent on benefits isn't the reason you are broke.

Breaking News: The Velvet Sundown have been mentioned on the Epstein list. Photos have even surfaced of them performing on Epstein's island numerous times. No comment has yet been made about the allegations from members of the band or their management. #thevelvetsundown #aislop #ai

I've found this t-shirt that has a picture of Jimi Hendrix on it but says Bob Marley. 😂😂😂

Update: I've been blocked from playing "Kneecap" and "Bob Vylan" on the radio. I'm sorry I tried. I said nothing political on my show all I did was try to play their non explicit songs. #kneecap #bobvylan #glastonbury

Lonely Gimmick @lonelygimmick.bsky.social · Jun 29

I've made sure to put a clean "Kneecap" song and a clean "Bob Vylan" song onto my radio show tomorrow to show my solidarity.

I'm not sure if I've actually become a better singer over the years or if I've just gotten used to hearing my own voice

One of the scariest things that is happening to the UK is the Americanisation of our culture. This is Britain not America. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY CULTURE. We have free healthcare (the amazing NHS), no guns and legal free abortion. If you disagree go move to America.

I've got some limited edition "Lonely Gimmick" stickers. I forgot how much I loved stickers when I was a kid. I used to stick them on my bedframe. Available on Bandcamp. Only 100 in the world. Once they are gone they are gone. I offer free UK delivery.

I'm thinking about leaving bluesky and becoming part of the real world. I can just stop random people in the street and tell them shit they're not interested in there. #blusky

"The key to happiness is making the music louder than the chaos"
I absolutely love this quote. I don't know who wrote it but it really connects with me. Music has been a saving grace in my life and struggles.

Here's a take you won't see in the BBC. It's good to see the Royal family are still trying hard to make it seem like they are good for this country and aren't just parasites sucking the public's taxes like a slimly well dressed leech.
