Here to escape what Twitter became. Woke is not a pejorative term. Lefty. Mostly films, games, books and things that make life better, but subject to bouts of melancholia. https://boxd.it/uB1B
This is absolutely the only take you need on the "boxing" career of Jake Paul.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Forced out for being a decent person. Wtf is wrong with us? When did we become *that* country?

got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

Is there a word for that feeling you have when you've had a night out and wake the next day, inexplicably perturbed, because you forgot to wordle?
Not because of streak anxiety - that's amateur level mental trauma, but what if yesterday was the day for your opening word. And you missed it.

If you'd like to see more of the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica that they didn't manage to show on Celebrity Race Across The World, we have a stunning holiday rental set in the hills of secondary rainforest near to the Panama border. DM me if you'd like details.

Just finished the beautiful 'Keeper' from the ever inspiring @doublefine.com
Wasn't sure how invested I could become in a game where the protagonist is a lighthouse.
Turns out the only true art is that which makes me invest my heart in to the wellbeing of a lens.

Had the opportunity to watch One Battle After Another today, freakishly rare for a film to fit perfectly around school hours, on IMAX and everything. And I didn't 'cos I was sulking about a half arsed argument last night, where my solo cinema trips got a passing mention.
Idiot.

I'm so late to the party that the lights have come up, the fights are over, the fat lady has sung, Elvis has fucked off and the DJ has played 'Come on Eileen' (one for the late 90's Mr. Smiths Warrington crowd there).
Dave the Diver is a cracking game though, innit?

One of my most cherished memories was a 4 day sleepless stint in Las Vegas, with 3 of my closest friends to watch Hatton/ Mayweather.
A bizarre blur of absolute madness and decadence, with the soundtrack of winter wonderland ringing out in to the desert.
RIP Hitman.

Headline story on the BBC news page for the last few days has been about a man who actively spread hatred at every opportunity.
A man who's name would have meant nothing to the vast majority of UK households a few days ago is being given more coverage in death than the last pope.
Fucks sake BBC.
