I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten. I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then. Amongst other things, I do an ABBA podcast: www.buzzsprout.com/2265600/share

I have a strange fondness for The Motion Picture and feel quite protective about it. But yes, The Undiscovered Country is the best of the original six.

Another fine, fine piece of writing, and especially recommended if you a) like music, and b) have felt rain-starved in the last few months. [small print: I’m thrilled to see my suggestion of B*Witched made the cut]

Another spectacular job from DPD.

Screenshot from Human Rights Watch website: “(Beirut) - Saudi authorities executed at least 356 people in 2025, setting a new record in the country for the highest number of executions in one year since monitoring began, Human Rights Watch said today. This is the second year in a row that Saudi authorities have set a new execution record, with 345 registered in 2024.”

Six months since moving day. Fuck me sideways, the previous 18 months was stressful - and I’ve got a weird PTSD from it - but it was oh so worth it.

A screenshot from a Human Rights Watch profile of Malaysia. Under the heading Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, it says: “State-sponsored discrimination against LGBT people remains pervasive, including government funding of "conversion" practices. Malaysian law as well as state and federal territory Sharia (Islamic law) criminalize same-sex activity and gender nonconformity.”

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

I've said this before but in my old addiction group, everyone there screwed their own lives up but nobody screwed up everyone else's lives around them nearly as much as the gambling addicts. No external symptoms, and someone can lose their house before their wife and kids even notice a problem.
