Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Went to my local Georgian restaurant for a cooking class on how to make adjari khachapuri. Turned out well! Then we ate them, with a glass of Saperavi wine. So much cheese, so much. 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Farewell to Wendell Berry at 92, an absolute giant of writing. 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 27/08/2026What an amazing quote to be remembered for: "be strong enough to be gentle". Reminds me of this from the Manga "Vagabond". 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Um, Bsky? You should really stop using AI at all, but especially for your trending topics which clearly aren't ready. I very much doubt that today's topic is that he becomes Mayor, since it happened 8 months ago. 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 14/08/2026FFS Burnham. If the national alert isn't for something that's happening live, just an announcement, you TELL people it's coming. That way they're not surprised while driving, and if they're in danger in their home and have a 2nd phone it isn't exposed. You don't use it for "No BBQs", jfc 120
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I know Bsky is all-in on AI and algorithms, but the voting just opened and doesn't end until 10pm tonight. Just because most posts say "Farage is expected to win big" doesn't mean it's happened. Sort your topics out, Bsky. (Also if he does win he goes straight back to being investigated, heh) 020
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Great, so say you're nationalising it, you useless lump. "Hmm, something needs to change but no promises" is how we got in this mess. 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Ah, incredible fantasy artist John Blanche has passed. His art was instantly recognisable: chaotic, wild and epic, a real part of my 80s childhood. 130
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Oh, THAT'S why I'm enjoying Spider-Noir so much (Greg worked on the brilliant BANSHEE) 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 28/05/2026No, Chow Yun-Fat is exactly who I think! Everyone watch the new 4k of Hard Boiled! 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 06/05/2026For context, this is the maximum amount of devastating shade that it's legal for royalty to deploy 120
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Relatedly, "The Optician of Lampedusa" is a beautiful book about rescuing migrants. I've been in a monthly book club for 10 years and it's in our Top 3. 100
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Went to the Prince Charles Cinema to see Wong Kar-Wai's classic romance "In the mood for love". It was *packed*, not a spare seat. Movies are great. (Next week, for a change of pace, AKIRA). 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Yesss! This two-screen cinema in the centre of London UK is also no stranger to Bogart, and is therefore simply better than the big ones: 060
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 13/01/2026There was a time (just after 2000) when the comic-a-day Dilbert desk calendar got me through office working. And then 10+ years ago Scott Adams went full MAGA bigot crazy, and fell for all the lying capitalist soulless conmen he'd spent decades writing as the bad guys. What a disappointment. 020
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 22/12/2025The lovely Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street, then the legendary Scandi Kitchen. 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Extraordinary fact-checking disclaimer in this sponsored Youtube advert. Presumably it's a legal requirement to add it? Hilarious. It's most of the ad. 011
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 13/11/2025With all the "For Girls" pink toy gendered nonsense I grew up with, here's what "For Girls" looked like in 1963: 031
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Went on a "food holiday" and spent travel money on restaurants I'd never been to instead. Ate Shakshuka and Macedonian burek and fancy steak and Czech goulash and Devon crab and allegedly the 5th best pizza in the world. Can recommend doing a food holiday. 020
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Cook Forest! I have this poster on my bedroom wall right now (which you can't see half of because of the light from this angle) 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Yes to Pelham 123! And much as I detest 75% of IW / Endgame, this is one of the most satisfying final shots to a movie and a series in a very long time. 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 20/09/2025Gonna be honest, I didn't expect to see "Cooking with Wolverine" in the cookbook section. 030
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 16/08/2025My dude. Everyone in the world knows that Trump doesn't have ANY empathy, because he's a narcissist. Every broadcast since 2016, every article, interview and decision has shown he's *incapable of empathy*. HOW do you get paid for claiming the one thing everyone knows cannot be the tiniest bit true? 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 19/07/2025In other news, everyone go and read the excellent 80s Irish Fox book Run With The Wind. 1154
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 16/07/2025The single most cyberpunk post on the internet: The guy at the top is Mike Pondsmith who wrote the Cyberpunk RPG (that the "Cyberpunk 2077" game comes from) quoting Burning Chrome by the peerless William Gibson, and the original post is by Richard Kadrey who wrote Metrophage... 131
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Went to see the brilliant Tim Minchin in Brighton, awesome gig, some tickets still for London dates Fri Sat Sun. 000
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Ffs. "My stealing machine won't be profitable unless I can break copyright law" - get back in your bin. 010
Steve B @steveb.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Two! And some self published stuff. Here's the first one on fortune telling with dice: 110
