Been listening to the promo at 4am before my shift. LJ has come up with dazzling tunes on this one. K-Hole Demon Hunters.

KitKat hijackers in DeNiro voice: “The Mini Egg is worth the risk.”

“No wonder you’ve got an energy crisis your side of the water … We’re in the Common Market now, and my new deal is with Europe.”

Stupidest thing I believe? One day gas will go down again.

The real Boris bus.

If you’re on Sunday early day shifts you lose an hour’s sleep. That’s when you know that BST stands for Bring Some Taurine.

Up there with In Full Effect on @hyperdub.bsky.social as a modern jungle masterpiece. Can’t get Bowed Clusters out of my head. It’s like Qix played underwater.

Can’t wait for Reform’s next press conference.

In politics they call that being a human centrist-pede.

No sociologist but in the the guard room we came up with the following:
Uniform (people like us who are on site around the clock)
Hierarchy (people who mostly work from home and who give orders via email)
Rocket launcher (always at home but send extra urgent emails - ignore one and you’re doomed)

Why Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars is still a classic, 34 years on As the New Scientist Book Club reads Kim Stanley Robinson’s science-fiction novel in April, George Bass digs into why this 1992 book still feels so relevant today

The bloke who bought Twitter said we’ll be on a new planet this year. So did a book published in 1992 … I wrote about Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson for @newscientist.com www.newscientist.com/article/2521...

Amazing shot. Sean Bean would be all over this.

Whole album is a better pick-me-up than a cargo copter. Amazing how he managed to turn Robert Palmer/the Renault jingle into ambient pop.

Slop Myself would have worked better.

Farage and chums seem to want all of the profits while everyone struggles. Their version of Net Zero should be Not Zorro.

Google says the Ofgem chief exec is on £300K. My shift-mates and me work full-time and don’t make a tenth of that. Somehow I don’t think he’ll be shitting himself each month when his debits come out.

Finland winning world’s happiest again is scientific proof that the secret to contentment is a 200% markup on alcohol and early exposure to Moomins.

Matt Goodwin was just taking back ctrl.

62 of those words were the President repeating which end of the White House to deliver the boneless banquet to.

Enjoyed this. The two cents I give to teens when they start getting into pubs: think twice before pressing send, and remember that tragedy plus time equals comedy.

Looking forward to your book The Minus Touch: How to Remove Digital Asbestos From Your Searches. Instant bestseller - and if it isn’t, we can fix that.

I hope the caterers at Trump’s send-off lay on two KFC party buckets and four mini fillets. That works out as one piece of chicken for every member of NATO.

BBC This Week with Andrew Neil, 8th December 2011, closed with dancing to Underworld & 'Born Slippy' YouTube video by Chris McCray

Neil makes a fair point, but I can’t take him seriously until he’s investigated for crimes against Born Slippy. youtu.be/CGIc0IY1yYg

They missed off the biggest source of pride in the UK. The one that kicks in every time you want beans on toast.

The last autocrat who called the west a paper tiger was the terrorist from OG Naked Gun. He got knocked out by Leslie Nielsen. He also had dodgy fake hair.

My head’s already so full of bills it feels like a filing cabinet. Can’t wait to start dreaming in numbers between shifts at work.

I hope @accidentalp.bsky.social sues them.

Really great writing Stephen. Was on duty for a Far Right rally last year. Wish they’d all have read this on the train up.

If looksmaxxing means using a tool kit to make yourself look like Dolph Lundgren in Rocky 4, can people call you a Drago queen?

@bunnyhausen.bsky.social Rough shift at work made easier by a sneak early listen to Blumenfantasie. Like balm with the bass turned up. Thank you for the music 👍🏻
