It’s a new year and this is a (relatively) new social media platform so I thought I’d try an experiment.

Music is very important to me … I grew up listening to 70s rock … Pink Floyd is my favourite band to this day.

Cricket, as a concept, makes literally no sense to me any more.

England bat, and no spinner. Stokesy, you’ve changed 🤣

Right. #Ashes. So far still awake, but grumpy enough to find TNT’s coverage rather tedious already.

Plenty of issues with Sky, but no other broadcaster comes close in production quality.

Nothing quite like a pre-Ashes rant about ticket prices for cricket in England.

Thanks for having me @justnotcrkpod.bsky.social!

Taskmaster spoiler alert, LOOK AWAY NOW!!

I fucking called it! Weeks ago I said: “Maisie Adam, but almost by accident”. Much smugness will ensue.

If you have Apple TV, watch Pluribus. If you don't, get it and watch Pluribus. You'll thank me later.

I have made (most of) the game accessible without having to solve the puzzle here in case you can't be bothered:

Once more I had high hopes to get to working on this early, once more it was hastily thrown together starting a handful of hours before it was scheduled.

This might be the most important book ever written. Nuke every MBA program in the world into orbit and replace it with this book.

For folks who work or have worked in a corporate environment, it will be triggering. You have been warned.

It’s hard to feel too bad for England to be honest, they’ve been average and ridden their luck all tournament. A semi final is about what they deserved.

It’s nice for South Africa to finally get one over England in ODI World Cups.

I tried to explain why I don't believe the recent accusations toward my former teammates, as well as how the Ruby and Rails Infra team at Shopify operates and why it can be trusted.

The Aussies are irritatingly good at cricket. I’d love for Pakistan to win this but I reckon Aus have enough runs with their bowling attack …
