Not proud of this, but I once accidentally tripped up Dexter Fletcher. He was very apologetic.

Massive Attack’s Mezzanine is where it’s at for dark trip hop vibes.

“Talk about mud flaps, my girl’s got ‘em” has lived rent-free in my head for decades.

This is bonkers in the best way and I can’t believe I’d never heard of it until now. Thank you for sharing it!

Also meant I could get an Adam Curtis-designed concert T-shirt for one of my favourite bands!

Adam Curtis did the stage videos for Massive Attack’s 2026 tour and they were really something.

The other day I saw this post on anonymous confessions account Fesshole and immediately thought, “Mann’s Assumption”. bsky.app/profile/fess...

Listening to Massive Attack’s 2003 album 100th Window, which I wasn’t that fond of at the time, and I’m really enjoying it now. It has collaborations with Sinead O’Connor and Damon Albarn and has a sort of “Massive Attack’s In Rainbows” feel.

I’m not surprised it’s called The Odyssey. A lot of the things that happen to Matt Damon are quite odd - and they happen at sea!

Fun fact: when people say sentient, they usually mean sapient. Ok byeee!

Rogue One is by far the best Star Wars film outside of the original trilogy.

Did you ever watch Chris Morris’s Jam? (Or listen to the original radio version Blue Jam?)

Could Microsoft Clippy be conscious? Experts believe it’s at least possible.

Good news: Fable has foiled my plan to develop a bioweapon which only targets people with no palmaris longus tendon in their arm.

“Fable's safeguards flagged this message. The safeguards are intentionally broad right now and may flag safe and routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capabilities sooner, and we're working to refine them.”

Just in case you were wondering how it’s going in Fortnite, they now have a John Wick umbrella parachute made out of constantly firing handguns. You know, for kids.

They say it takes 43 muscles to frown, and 17 muscles to smile, which is why i try to remain expressionless at all times

Hey, anybody here want to give me five million US dollars? In return I will write you a very sincere thank you note, or your money back.

The six word meme reviews with 5000 likes written by people who didn’t understand the basic premise of the film are what I live for on Letterboxd.

It’s time for the USA to accept that they’ll never be a great soccer nation. If they want to excel at a global sport, they should redirect their top baseball talent into cricket.

If you’re a dude at 15 you have to pick a book to choose what kind of nerd you’re going to be. You can be a Dune nerd or a Tolkien nerd or a William Gibson nerd. This is like picking your starter pokemon

Thinking about when my kid said there's a funny looking movie on Netflix so I asked him what movie and he said he doesn't want to say because he doesn't know if it's a bad word so I said just say it, and he says "Norbit"

This recent World Cup-related trend of Americans being trolled about their less illustrious food, and reacting indignantly en masse in the same way the British react when Americans do their “beans on toast” schtick (ie “we have a diverse range of food options from around the world”… is pretty funny.

The 29 down clue for Wednesday 3rd June's The Missing Letter puzzle is wrong. The 2012 Summer Olympics were held in London. The *2016* Summer Olympics were held in Rio. As penance, get Noah Webster to put those missing "u"s back. You know the ones I'm talking about. @merriam-webster.com

2012 Summer Olympics clue - the answer is Rio, except it is not.

Absolutely love the deconstruction and reconstruction he does here. Also where he highlights the repeat use of "big enough umbrella" in other Sting lyrics. It's my favourite Police song, and this podcast just adds to the magic.

I hope this doesn’t spoil the mystique, but he was the host of a well-known UK daytime TV show with his wife, known for Alan Patridge-esque remarks and rather notoriously arrested for shoplifting. Good on LOL though.

Her, 2013: people can have a job writing fake heartfelt letters, and dating AI is a thing people do. The AI is hyper-intelligent. Reality, 2026: the AI writes the fake heartfelt letters, and dating AI is a thing people do. The AI is a ropey regurgitation machine made from stolen human creativity.
