But so far I don't really like any of the characters and feel completely disconnected from them. And that stupid plinky-plonky music is irritating me. It's worse than Sheila's LP. 110

Simon F @sfeegrade.bsky.social · 29/04/2026This is the most beautiful thread I've seen on here. I've rarely seen a better evocation of the power of literature, the value of wit, the richness that can come from inventive imaginative humorous writing. I don't even read the author in question, but that's irrelevant as this moved me to tears. 💜 020

Simon F @sfeegrade.bsky.social · 20/04/2026I see #Madonna has rediscovered her Alison #Goldfrapp fixation. Don't get me wrong, the new song is good. Because it's quite derivative of Alison Goldfrapp. Also nice to see M reunited with Stuart Price. All the same I'm wary of new Madonna stuff til I've heard more. (Remembers Madame X, shudders) 000
