My brother’s oldest cat passed peacefully in his sleep yesterday. Incredibly affectionate, always wanting fuss. He was 14 years old. I miss him already

Today I listened to Altered State by TesseracT. It is very good. I recommend

On the last few days it’s rained, it’s only been during the hour or two I would’ve been playing tennis. I’m taking this personally

No idea, but I think the @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk has a copy of Fuori dell'abitato di Malbork (outside the town of Malbork).

A quick photo from Tower Bridge the other night, post-Oresteia

Night view of London skyline from Tower Bridge. You can see the walkie talkie building, gherkin, and other skyscrapers in the Liverpool Street area

The Oresteia is very, very good. An inventive adaptation, impressive set design, well acted, and compelling enough that the 3h40 runtime flew by. First time at the Bridge Theatre, too; a wonderful venue

Hamilton is good. Lin-Manuel Miranda is in fact extremely good at his job. Sorry, that's just how it is.

I have somewhat neglected learn go with tests over the past year. It had collected about 50 odd issues and 20 PRs, which, with help from my robot friend (kept on a short leash I promise), I have mostly addressed. First release in a while! github.com/quii/learn-g... #golang #tdd

Put Revolver on the record player and managed to successfully put the needle exactly on the start of Tomorrow Never Knows. I am now Don Draper

Some very good responses here. The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's would be my top choice A few more: Queen: Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera Led Zeppelin: IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti Muse: Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations

Made the mistake of going into a couple of the art galleries in town and deciding I need to spend my next payslip on a bunch of new abstract acrylics. Anyway, Phil Selwood and Melanie Tong both have wonderful pieces. There are some talented local artists in east Kent

The thing about listening to Led Zeppelin IV again is that now all I can think about are the drums to When The Levee Breaks

Something very peaceful about sitting in front of the turntable, listening to Robert Plant screech all manner of tones and textures in Misty Mountain Hop

Had a rough day yesterday, so naturally I impulse bought a turntable and Led Zeppelin IV

The gear change indicator in my little vw up seems to now think I want to drop from 2nd to 1st when I’m driving at 15mph. Not convinced about that one (the car drives fine, no issues)

I tend to use the Mutuals feed on bsky a lot because I’d otherwise miss a lot of posts from people I’m interested in. Anyway the mutuals feed has been borked for me over the last few days which has diminished my bsky experience quite a bit

Origin of Symmetry is such a good album. Early Muse was something else

Check out my article on Pokopia, cosy games and the problem of escapism for Red Pepper Magazine! Writing this was felt a little like a nostalgic trip back to (games) journalism www.redpepper.org.uk/culture-medi...

'Cosy games' have grown in popularity in recent years but can they be more than mere escapism? Dr Stephanie Farnsworth investigates

What was so impressive about Messi last night was how he adapted to benefit his team. Moved from the centre to out wide, dragged England players closer to him, freed up the midfield, and then focused on nothing but being a playmaker from the right. Didn't even try to get in the box to score

Figured out a little guitar arrangement to For No One which is a real calming tune to play

Quite incredible how 12 years of either German driver or constructors dominance in F1 has meant that any time I hear the German national anthem, regardless of context, I immediately picture a podium

Seeing as it is Global Beatles Day, I figured now would be a good time to introduce Luna to Revolution 9. She listened to a small excerpt and immediately barked at me. I do not think she is a fan

Going to London this Saturday for various shenanigans (Japan House photography exhibition and museums and drinks, among other things). A sign of the times that I’m glad the temperature is forecast to be 26c tops, instead of like 37
