Why are so many rappers called 'Lil something' these days? Have we as a society stopped producing full sized hip hop stars?

Really enjoying SNL UK so far. It excels when leaning into their weirdness of UK humour, like What Kind of Irish is Your Grandad and the Paddington sketch. Weekend Update is a joy. The musical guests have been great. Can't wait to see how it continues to evolve.

Just experienced my biggest fear and got stuck in a lift between floors, with all the power out. Thankfully the safety 'return to nearest floor' feature kicked in pretty quickly (couple of mins, felt like a couple of hours). But man, that was scary.

I'm not a spiritual person. I don't believe in any gods. But seeing @mogwai.scot live is the closest I get to a religious experience. It's music that reinvigorates the soul.

Big smile on my face after watching the new episode of The Muppet Show. I won't call it a reboot, as it's the same show we've always loved. More please!

My TV now defaults to a channel called Smurf TV, which before now I never knew existed, and I'd be lying if I said it bothered me.

Appalling that the BBC provides a platform for those who spew hatred and division in the name of 'balance', yet drives out someone who speaks up for inclusion, togetherness and equality.

The cat just sat with us and watched an entire episode of Um Actually on @dropout.tv, intently staring at the screen, and it is gratifying to know he is as much a nerd as we are.

Robin Hood opens at Aberdeen Arts Centre tonight with Philip Napier back as dame for his sixth Talegate panto. This year he's Nurse Little Joan in a show packed with Doric humour. Local talent fills the cast with daft songs, in-jokes and family-friendly mischief. ⭕ Check our review

Two thirds of the way through @michaelmisrubbish.bsky.social's excellent memoir about being in We Are The Physics. Crying with laughter. Just read about their set at TITP 2007 - the first band I ever saw at a festival, and the first time I ever saw WATP. What memories!

Every year my dentist has a Halloween pumpkin carving competition for the staff. The kids in the waiting room place their votes with glee. So do the adults. Sometimes it's the smallest things that elicit the biggest smiles.

STV North cannot be allowed to disappear. Centralised Scottish news has a bias towards the central belt. Always has, always will. By removing the northern edition of STV News, we risk losing an outlet for important stories from Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Moray and the Highlands.

Sad to hear about the passing of Drew Struzan this week. He created some of the most iconic movie artwork we will ever see. The world has lost an incredible talent. Here's one of my favourites.

Student journalism is important. It holds universities and people in positions of power to account, often breaking stories that are picked up by larger outlets. I got my start at The Gaudie Student Newspaper, writing for the arts and culture sections... and even an irreverent agony aunt column!
