Instamatic - Solsbury Pop (Peter Gabriel vs Prince) - remix.audio Instamatic - Solsbury Pop (Peter Gabriel vs Prince) Pop Life was one of my favourite Prince songs, it was oddly a B-side - like Erotica some of Prince's best songs were B-sides. And it works with Pete...

RIP Prince. 10 years now...

New Stonewall chair says JK Rowling 'absolutely has place in public life' Incoming Stonewall chair Kezia Dugdale has shared her thoughts on JK Rowling and the author's controversial views on trans women.

Yeah...employing the person who ruined Labour's chances in Scotland isn't really going to help you. Stonewall.

Especially if she *checks records* cuddles up to JKR? Oh dear.

About right for New Labour though. Like Mandelson, that party seems to attract them...

It’s not a war.. is it? #satire YouTube video by Jimmy Rees

Why is comedy more on political point than that actual fucking news?

www.youtube.com/shorts/ZHWY2...

As there are Tory grandees, there are New Labour ones as well - Mandelson, Blair and many other policy wonks and Yes Persons who have endless non-jobs, a gravy train for life.

I know a lot of this is fueled by people just hating a Labour government but I hope some sunshine comes onto this.

My ancient Thermarest might not be the most comfortable - it is not - but at least it works.

Exped mattresses are trash.

For the first time ever has to abort a trip cos my Synmat on it's first trip kept spliting along the seam.I bet cos I bought it off eBay they will weasel out of the warranty as well.

Horribly cold night spent on a completely deflated mat on hard ground too.

I just worked out that Baldur's Gate isn't the Infocom adventure.

I wondered why all these Gen Z were talking about this text adventure from the 1980's...

Someone uploaded an album of them, causing them to be fingerprinted and voila!

Automatic DMCAs for AI work that is supposed to be copyright free.

Welcome to dystopia.

And ones that don't you get very samey results from them, and legal issues from that.

As I did with AI generated music via Soundraw years ago, why I stopped using AI music in my videos...

Soundraw is an 'ethical' AI but the data set is too small so repeated themes happen.

Repeat after me:

There is no such thing as 'ethical AI'.

It's a lie.

AI uses a massive amount of power/water, never going to be OK. Also AI needs a lot of data to be trained.

Unless you're a massive corp, and even then, it needs to be trained off something? Why they all use some scraped data.

I told you so about the headphone thing!

iPods, old headphones, wired is back, baby!

Also taking fashion advice from a man who wears a fucking fedora and now looks like the fat edition of the Go Compare man?

Really.

I have a visceral dislike of that man as a result (and all the other things he's done).

But mostly that fucking annoying lyric endlessly quoted at me by total tossers who thought they were being clever and original.

The worst kind of twunt.

There are many reasons to hate Pete Docherty - Mark Blanco & Amy Winehouse are two particular examples - but his lyric 'few or more distressing sights than that, of an Englishman in a baseball cap' haunted me as I got it quoted at me by idiots for years after.

Stopped wearing them for a decade.

20 months.

John loved the apple blossoms on the trees he planted in the garden.

Last year I had this idea but by the time I went back they were finished. So this year brought some blossom inside for him.

Blue rock I brought back for him from one of the walks - South Downs Way I think?

Lauren Boebert shoots back at Dave Chappelle over ‘weaponising’ trans jokes claim Republican Lauren Boebert has responded to comedian Dave Chappelle after he accused Republicans of “weaponising” trans jokes.

Karma is a bitch part 2.

I do not feel sorry for Chapelle, he should know better, and doing the anti-trans jokes associated him with a toxic brand he now wants to disassociate from.

Anyone hear tiny violins?

Caitlyn Jenner hit by Trump's passport policy and everyone's saying the same thing Right-wing transgender media personality Caitlyn Jenner has opened up about the imact President Donald Trump's new trans passport policy has had on her,

"I never thought the leopards would change MY passport" - a Tweet I saw about this.

Karma is a bitch.

Sorry to hear that...and yes I am grieving still, it's been 20 months today.

No problem, hope you have a good day.

So maybe he was 5ft 10 when a younger man but at 50-60 he was definitely NOT that height!

Never got got why he felt the need to lie when most if not all the people I dated/shagged were around his actual height or shorter.

I actually prefer shorter men, here for pocket bears ('short kings' as the kids call them) cos every time in bed with a guy my height it's all arms and legs everywhere.

Much nicer to spoon with someone shorter.

Short Man Can't Stop Lying About His Height | Gianmarco Soresi | Stand Up Comedy Crowd Work YouTube video by Gianmarco Soresi

youtu.be/6kJLGE_MEr8?...

Going through Gianmarco Soresi's crowd work atm, all great... this one reminds me that John used to insist he was 5ft 10" which I found fucking HILARIOUS.

I was 185cm - 6ft 1" ish? Maybe less now but I could put my chin on the top of his head. Maybe 5ft 9 with a headwind?

Disappointed in my mayor playing into this nonsense, it should be more 'hey, meet in parks and stay safe, have fun but don't break the law ' but like protests, meetups are being banned now too?

Provide the spaces to meet, or get this...this is just bored teens. Easily solved.

‘Young people want to come together’: experts respond to mass teen meet-ups in Clapham Academics and youth workers say cuts to services and lack of public space help explain recent unrest in south London

So a load of kids meeting up is a riot now? Really?

I remember ACTUAL riots, this aint a riot, LOL. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Reminded of the mods and rockers etc, this has been happening forever and this is also the lockdown generation which don't have the spaces to meet.

May sound harsh, but I learned that it's simultaneously really big and very small - really big for me, realyl small in universal scale and to everyone else.
Suspect those who spend more time rolling their eyes at others grieving, judging others or getting annoyed at it are in for a karmic avalanche.

In the meantime, they act like their point of view is the only one, a few act like entitled dicks.

They think they are immune to this, but they are not...just some of us get there earlier.

When they do they will moan and wail as if it's only ever happened to them. We all do that, it's not special.

Nearly 20 months of grief have taught me the hard way that there are people who have gone through this, and those who have not.

Like a secret club.

Those who have gone through it, grow some empathy.

The rest? Well they'll learn eventually, it will get them in the end however fast they run away.

How many partners have you seen waste away and die?

Zero I suspect with that attitude.

The World Is Basically Begging for Another iPod And nostalgia is only part of the picture.

I told you so.

But I was the odd one for keeping my iPods and not using my phone....wireless is worse audio, and phones fill up and battery drain etc.

Also fuck Spotify and streaming.
