I haven't had an alcoholic drink since August 1st and somehow all my targeted adds on my socials are for alcoholic beer breweries.

Finally read Stephen King's The Stand. This was quite a journey, not sure if any other King book I'll read will match this. #stephenking #thestand @stephenking.bsky.social

Woke up and first thought I had was about the band Pontiak. And how great they were and if they're still together (they are, just on hiatus). Guess I'll have a Pontiak day today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE-Y...

Those Damned Blue‐Collar Tweekers by Primus came on cos of the Deezer algorithms and now I'm my second listen of Frizzle Fry, struggling to keep the air drumming under control. That album was the reason for me to start playing drums 35 years ago!

Unfortunately I do not have the ballot paper anymore, I wanted to request a replacement but Postal Vote Manager wouldn't give me one & I was told to scribble through the wrong cross and add a cross in the box I want to vote instead. Pretty sure the ballot paper won't count anymore now, which sucks.

Yeah I just read that as well. Initially I was like "ah well, it's a mistake but at least the vote is going to a different green party", how wrong could I be? I'll be on the phone first thing tomorrow asking for new form and complain.
