iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

On the subject of covers, my daughter was humming “liiisten to Iron Maaaaaiden” in the car the other day and I asked her how she knew Wheatus and she proceeded to play me some TikTok boosted cover that is, *somehow*, worse. Re-education began immediately with Run to the Hills and Fear of the Dark

Ya might have Wheatus tangled up with Weezer. While I can take or leave Weezer, Wheatus can absolutely get in the bin 🤮

I was doing a written version of my reply and I was going to qualify that it isn’t *actually* better but you will be astonished by the shake they give it. Ditto RHCP’s Stooges cover

I was thinking that Glasgow v Leinster will have a been a weird day for you. Which panto villain do you hate more?

My friend in Jesus, if you that think Fatty McBoyo was adjudicating in favour of the Bulls you may need a refresher course on the laws of rugby and consensual reality.

Say it ain’t so. Watching him defy medical science and ripping through defences in his second lease of rugby life was one of the more inspiring stories of the modern game. And a helluva role model for the lighties in the squad too. RIP king.

What if I told you a 7/2 split does, in fact, not exist.

For what it’s worth, McCarthy fawned over the sentences written by Kent Haruf whose oeuvre is much quieter, but equally spare and beautiful. Plainsong is the place to start #booksky

Badgie @badgerstooth.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

So many incredible sentences and distillations of place and moment. All the Pretty Horses and Blood Meridian remain literary high-water marks for me.

Just finished: Bluets by Maggie Nelson A tiny little depth-charge of numbered paragraphs from 1 to 240 somehow weaving the colour blue through a wide genre-mashed tapestry of essayist’s musings, poetry and raw, sexual realism. This was fucking great. #booksky #literature #poetry #books

Za got me pondering the word petrichor. Is it a smoosh of “ichor”, the goop the gods had instead of blood, and “petra”, the Ancient Greek word for stone? Because that would be a dope construct for the smell of rain on a hot day

In this house, Luigi Mangione is a hero, end of story!

The “In this house Christopher Columbus is a hero” scene from the Sopranos.
