Pouring one out for Leo, a legendary mechanic who wrenched for Possum Bourne, and kept my old GT Spec B in fine fettle.

Gone to that great car meet-up in the sky. RIP. 🙏

A gravel bike rests against rocks on a trail.

Cheeky Wednesday lunchtime ride between Zoom calls. 🚵‍♂️

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

Well, that's authentic Hungarian goulash in Budapest off Bibi's bucket list I guess. 😐

BREAKING: Federal Bill Would Put Big Oil Above the Law | Center for Climate Integrity Republicans Introduce Legislation to Give Fossil Fuel Companies Immunity from Any Laws or Lawsuits Seeking to Hold them Accountable for their Role in the Climate Crisis

Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

Schrödinger's Vance.

He is simultaneously in and not in Pakistan.

Jeff Porcaro's drumming and Cheryl Lynn's backing vocals. Simply sublime.

What is the best, least acknowledged, song Toto ever released and why is it 'Georgy Porgy'?

Still waiting...

This thing is taking longer to crank into life than a 1962 Woolsley.

Powering up an old laptop that's sat in a cupboard for years, just to check some details in an obscure paper I know is on its hard drive. Because facts matter.

It is near-insufferable.

How Chas came to find himself co-hosting this mundaneness is quite the mystery.

Has a lot of people asking 'Is there something new here?'

Jeez mate, catch up!

Hilarious watching John Barron of Planet America finally, reluctantly, have to admit a concern with Trump's deteriorating cognitive capabilities. 😂

No, but Spandau Ballet seems to be a bit of a yacht house staple. 🤷

No, but Christopher Cross' equivalent is absolutely everywhere in the playlists.

Lots of Boz Scaggs too for some reason.

Have moved straight past yacht rock and entered my yacht house era. 🎧

I'm guessing the Iranian thinking here is that Kushner & Witkoff have zero incentive to see a negotiated settlement finalised, so better to remove all pretence and just get on with it.

Iran indicating that they're disinclined to send a delegation back to Islamabad is a not unreasonable position to take; given previous bad-faith actions by Trump.

We're moving into Keynes' "anticipating the anticipation of others" phase of the conflict.

"NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!"

That's what you get when you bypass designers and ask your child what he thinks might look cool. 😏

"I got this friend, big fat guy, I won't tell you his name, he's so fat, wants me to stop talking about him being fat and neurotic and unstable and fat, let's just call him 'Elon M', and he's so fat, what was I talking about?"

OK, Strait of Hormuz is shut again.

Hope all those inside trades placed before Trump made his announcement of it opening get absolutely torched.

Karma, it's a bi..t of a bugger.

Not unlike a certain 'fixer' who came before.

The reference to his Pulp Fiction snafu is 👨‍🍳🤌.

Iran's troll game is next level.

This new one roasting Hegseth to the tune of 'What shall we do with the drunken sailor?' is epic! 😂

A bike rests next to a tree in autumnal foliage.

Autumn colours starting to pop. 🍁🚵‍♂️
