God bless the shuffle for those times it reminds you of a song that until you heard it again - if ever - it would’ve left your memory all together.

I asked Chat GPT why Rangers fans hate Dundee United in the way they do, aye, I know already. Some of this nonsense shows that AI doesn’t have much of the I in it at times.

I’ve just come out the other end of a two chapter (one Zico one Si) 14k word visit to a Medellin barrio for Zico and Si. If you’ve read the Zico trilogy then you may have an idea of the events that take place up in comuna eight!

I feel sorry for the post match drug testers because they won’t know which Scotland players to pick by the end of this match if one half is anything to go on. They’re playing like Brazil 82 at times.

*Did* write 6k words today for a chapter so despite yesterday’s clear procrastinating I still managed some creativity out of the weekend. Now to do that for the coming week, minus buying tuxedos and learning how to make kebabs.

I got one of those for my birthday when I was in primary school. The ‘remote control’ was connected to the video recorder via a lead. What a time to be alive.

Two things I wish I hadn’t seen this week. 1. Elon Musk’s, unexplainable, upside down pregnant belly. 2. That Mike Tyson fight. Still one day to go. I hope Sunday takes a day off.

It’s quite handy that the commentators occasionally remind you that Croatia are down to ten men because you wouldn’t guess it otherwise.

It will never not be embarrassing to go to watch your national team and see that you’ll need to go on YouTube to watch their match.

Any thoughts you had about shouting into an echo chamber on Twitter are confirmed on Blue Sky when you find yourself getting more likes and interactions despite having only a fraction of the followers compared to Twitter.

Before starting on my current novel - and the return of Zico - I went back and read Ninety, Ninety Six and Noughty to get myself back inside the mind of the characters. Hadn’t read the trilogy for a long time and, going back, it was like reading novels from someone else, but in a pleasant way.

I will never, ever know the words to the Narcos theme tune but, still, that never stops me from trying to sing it. As long as this continues away from any Spanish speakers I’ll be cool.

p.s there's a real danger of losing an opportunity here if you think of it only as 'replacement Twitter'. there's new folk here. new connects can be made. new behaviours and new dialogues can happen. I'm following anyone who posts anything even slightly funny or clever.
