Seriously, we need to be on top of this, if only to find out what, or whom, will be referred to by Eleanor Peck as 'all bollocks'. That's a Need To Know.

bsky.app/profile/juli... Binged on Crowley, all episodes end to end. And then an unexpected bonus Mythos as well! Listened again to The Lovecraft Investigations 1 and 2, which is not usually a thing I do in spring, it's my December listening. Audio is better than TV. Better pictures.

Yesterday, my running app had descriptions of New York: "In the early days, Brooklyn threw up blockades across Brooklyn Bridge to stop zombies entering. The zombies have rotted down to limbs and heads since then, half merged with the wood."

Just for curiosity... what's the average time between unboxing a new phone, and actually getting all the apps logged in and connected, and the settings back to what they were on the old phone and the way you like them? Has anybody ever managed to do it before the end of life of the new phone?

I understand that in these anxiety-inducing times, we're self-soothing with pictures of our cats. This is Peter, who is a big handsome chonker and also a bitey mannerless git.

I find myself rendered uneasy by the fact that Asda Valentine cards are Buy One, Get One Free, but I suppose polyamorists give gifts too. Two.

I have said before, more than once, that the people in charge of the Lancashire Cricket website ought not to be trusted with the internet (they have about the worst and least intuitive ticketing system ever) but this is a new low, even for them.

The exec who said "women over 50 are not a valid audience" should lose their job instantly, for being too stupid even for British television.

Katja Meier says she was told women over 50 were not seen as a ‘valid audience’, so decided to make the pilot herself

In case anyone cares, the best way to maintain your sanity for the next 4 years is to check facts, read articles not headlines, and read news that has been digested, appraised and verified instead of bullshit live feeds and social media posts from dipshits.

Felix's blanket, started on 1 January 2024 and finished on his birthday. The pattern is called Thule by Tinna Thórudóttir Thorvaldsdóttir. I'm feeling accomplished today.
