My very good friend @srotzschthomas.bsky.social has just put out this funny little book wherein he has too many opinions about Disney. If that's something you're into you can grab a copy here: www.hive.co.uk/Product/Step... (or on horrible Amazon, obv)

My filing cabinet was in storage for over a year, and I'm still trying to refamiliarise myself with how it's ordered. Flicking through the folders like: "Pet insurance, car insurance, pre-Covid payslips, various Lego instruction manuals, wallet filled with doodles of pigs..."

Hear me out... did you ever have a butterfly cake? That. But with a bread roll.

If you're into #shoegaze or #dreampop, the band I recently joined on the drums has just put out our first single: open.spotify.com/track/1qPN8r...

And then, just as quickly as it began, it ends. The bin men hop on the back of the truck, a final honk wishes their fans farewell, and they disappear down the street leaving just a two minute grace period before the little fuckers are bawling again. Thank you, bin men, for my brief Friday reprieve.

The bin men clearly love this. For a moment, they are superstars. They milk their arrival like Glastonbury headliners. They honk their horn, and the children scream like it's 1965 and Ringo Starr made eye contact with them. I once witnessed a child topple over backwards from the sheer star power.

They cheer like Jesus Christ himself just turned up as a surprise cameo in the MCU. They whoop and holler, and wildly applaud each bin as it is picked up and tipped into the back of the truck. What starts as a bubbling of excitement as the vehicle is first sighted builds into an absolute mania.

I live opposite a preschool for under threes and, most of the time, this just means that weekday mornings are filled with distant crying. The one time it really does pay off, though, is bin day. When the bin lorry comes, those kids go fucking feral.

My first #GoodLunch submission: just some potato rosti lads topped with slow-cooked Asian pork shoulder leftovers from last night, and some little pepper boys. Good lunch?

I have a December birthday, and at this time each year, my family requests a birthday/Christmas wishlist from me. It's time again for me to share the document I call 'Present Requirements'. But! This year, for the first time, I own a house! Any suggestions for nice house things to put on my list?

Going to tell my children that this happened at Glastonbury 2007.

With Shakira leading the early promo for Zootopia 2, you've got to wonder if the plot is going to join Trap and Smile 2 and offer up a pop star centred scare fest. Here's hoping!

I saw Bob Dylan tonight. He spent most of the gig hidden behind a piano. He mostly played songs off of an album he released in 2020. The few classics he did play only fractionally resembled the originals. He never said hello, he never said goodbye. He just came, played, and left. It was phenomenal.

Just seeing this now as I shift back here again, but I did actually finally see Threads on iPlayer as a result of this screening! Every bit as grim as I'd always been told it was.

Now when will it be available in the UK?

I'm like if someone turned an extremely stumpy bulldog onto his back and he couldn't get upright again and he just spent the rest of his life shuffling around in circles wondering why feet go up now

Stephen Rötzsch Thomas @srotzschthomas.bsky.social · 23/06/2023

It's such a mad take, too. Imagine some guy drove drunk and ran down a bunch of pedestrians and in court his lawyer turned to the jury and said 'what if they wanted to take *your* licence away. rude, imo'.

Stephen Rötzsch Thomas @srotzschthomas.bsky.social · 23/06/2023

Which one? Because, honestly, that man kept slipping them onto his albums and hoping people didn't notice for years. There's at least three out there I can think of.

I'm watching her Glastonbury set right now. Just a perpetual star.

Jesus. They want to talk about safeguarding? Even if they were actually right, they'd be putting a child at the centre of a vitriolic national culture war.

Christ. I'd try and top that, but I think the only option would be watching Come and See and then euthanising a family pet.

Putting aside 10% of every paycheck for the day when Winrar sends to hired goons to knock on my door, like: "We told you, your free trial has expired."

Stephen Rötzsch Thomas @srotzschthomas.bsky.social · 23/06/2023

But I guess in a sense, that's just another form of being misunderstood. So yeah, I'm still with you.

Stephen Rötzsch Thomas @srotzschthomas.bsky.social · 23/06/2023

I don't know, man. You could also be at a local farmer's market and you buy a cake and then on the way home you realise you're being followed and then when you get home you cut a slice of cake and oh shit there's a microfilm in the cake is that what they want is that why they're knocking on the door

"Still punk as fuck" I whisper, as I cancel the alarm on my phone that reminds me to go to Lidl and pick up an electric coolbox for the car.

Anyway, one day I will finally watch Threads. I'll save it until I'm in a really obnoxious good mood and need, you know. Reminding.

When I was a student a friend and I put Threads last in a three film themed night where each film was more depressing than the one before it. We started with Children of Men, then moved onto When the Wind Blows and at that point changed direction and just stared into the middle distance for a bit.

This place is nuts. It's a straight 50/50 split between the innocent fun of Twitter circa 2008 and the absolute most feral shitposting you have seen in your entire life.

My biggest issue here is the use of the word 'just'.

As far as I can tell, the orcas are only going for rich people's boats. Refugee crafts have yet to be bothered by them. The orcas aren't angry lords of the sea demanding sacrifices, they're radical socialists, and I am here for it.

Stephen Rötzsch Thomas @srotzschthomas.bsky.social · 22/06/2023

I do not think it a coincidence that the orcas are only attacking sailing boats, and not those carrying refugees. All hail the big woke whale.

My previous greatest fear was 'accidentally getting caught up in organised crime', but 'being so rich that nobody vets my choices and I die young in a glorified soup can' is putting up a good fight.

It's probably for the best. With four loyal magpies at my side, I imagine I would have been unstoppable.

Our landlords are chucking us out of our house in a couple of weeks, and one of the reasons I am saddest is because a little tribe of 4 magpies have just made a home in our garden and I won't get to befriend them now. Anyway, I'm giving them free rein over the cherries I won't be around to enjoy.
