I know that it's all for a good cause and everything, but this thing where people do (the equivalent of) multiple marathons for charity...totally undermines the concept of a marathon being a thing. Like, it used to be a thing that people would aspire to, but now non sporty celebrities do 100 for fun

I'll be bringing some of my HDK and Library of the Occult releases on cassette and CD, if you're interested in some *very* limited edition stories and soundtracks
I do have some on vinyl too, but I probably wont bring them (unless anyone *really* wants me too).

Survey they just quoted on the radio said that 10% more people think the BBC is biased to the Left than think it's biased to the right. So, it's time for *checks notes* the Royalist loving, Farage loving, BBC to shift Right, apparently. You know, for balance and neutrality.

If Right wing Christians actually believed in Hell and demons, they'd be saying ChatGPT, Grok, etc were demons, wouldn't they? They're literally doing Satan's work (if you believed in Satan).

These pictures of Alan Carr incognito make him look like he's about to stand next to me with his arms folded at the back of a gig.

I thought Meg White was dead there for a second. It turns out she's just not turning up at The White Stripes' induction into the RnR Hall of Fame. Phew.

Just fired off some short story pitches for an exciting little thing. Surprised myself seeing as it's just gone 11 on a Saturday night.

I strongly condemn any talk of Christmas, or Christmas decoration, before Dec 1st. Christmas is currently 10,000+ days away. No thoughts of Christmas need to be thought. Cast them out of your mind.
