There’s a Principal Skinner meme in here somewhere but this Josh character just doesn’t inspire me to create it for him. There’s just no light or magic in his eyes.

This is like a bizarre, solo comedy sketch where the same performer is playing both the interviewer and, with the addition of an ill-fitting hat & a stick-on moustache, the interviewee.

All of my Jewish great-grandparents lived in the US in 1910. None of them was considered to be "white" in 1910. Today if I walk down the street in most places in the US, people will see me as white. Whiteness is not determined by genetics (as my family story demonstrates), but rather by culture.

Incomprehensible and also self-defeating… why would you obstinately deny your imagination the pleasure enjoying of half(ish) of the world’s books? Ultimately, it’s _you_ missing out. If think of the books I wouldn’t have read over the last twelve months if I had taken this stance, I wince.

Am I allowed two? First visit to the cinema was to see Star Wars in 1978 (uk release obviously) with the same uncle. Entranced by Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.

My uncle bought me a Blondie LP when I was probably too young to have crushes. Or, at least, too young to _realise_ I had a crush if that makes sense? Anyway, Ms. Harry. For the (no pun intended) record, I absolutely loved the music too!

The Salt King sounds interesting. These columns always present an opportunity to empty my wallet further.

Bill Oddie was one of the first comedy performers that I really loved. Very sad to see him go. #RIP ecky thump.

Hi Womble, I finished When There Are Wolves Again by EJ Swift. A beautifully told, timely, hopeful tale. it’s fiction but reading it while watching footage of entire ecosystems ablaze is chilling. it’s not just about big ideas; the personal tales truly brought a lump to my throat.

Perhaps I missed something - Didn’t the Ghost of Christmas Past already cover this? Wasn’t that their entire shtick? The… past? Wasn’t that the whole point of the original story?

That’s Captain Black, the possessed puppet of the evil, monstrous Mysterions, from Captain Scarlet isn’t it? Which, now I think about it, would explain a lot.

Not a flex because I’m just middle aged! But… Star Wars (1978) when I was five Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979?)

Morning, Womble, just finished RF Kuang’s The Poppy War which was really quite something and even more gut-punch brutal than I had thought. Imaginative and cruel. Perhaps I’m conditioned to expect heroes in fantasy but this book shatters that expectation. Next up something with a different tone!

Relatable! My wife and I had three cats and we felt that was … sufficient. Then we were offered a kitten with one eye who needed a home. My wife and I now have four cats.

Let's take a look at this claim as "revealed" by the Daily Mail. TLDR - It's taken them a reeeeeally long time to "reveal" this law 😜 So what's the reality behind this headline? 🧵 1/23

Just finished Pagans by James Alastair Henry which felt like a late night thought-experiment that took on a life of its own. Sometimes nasty, often funny and frequently of the moment. Next up? The Poppy War by RF Kuang or maybe NK Jemisin’s The City We Became. There are other contenders, however!

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

So many options… Man Who Sold the World by Nirvana? Soft Cell’s version of Tainted Love? The Raincoats’ Lola? To many, I can’t choose!

It helps in that it gives me even more book ideas to add to my read list 😬 … but I suppose more books is never a bad thing! It so happens I’m going to be jumping on the bus into town with a tenner’s worth of book shop credit burning a hole in my digital pocket.

Morning, Womble. Finished Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Mercy (great finale after, for me, a middling middle book - interesting to read it in 2026 given the current AI climate) and have gobbled up The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson (a fun, funny, tense page turner with twists aplenty and MAPS)
