Completely fascinated by the weird casual shitness of backdrops for podcasts suddenly needing video content. A particularly fine example here: the mismatched curtains roping off the office, 5 books stolen from a nearby theme pub. “Yeah I’ve got this microscope?” “Bang it in, bro!”

It’s at this time of night that the horrible new office block at Liverpool St most obviously looks from our angle like an opened milk carton

Signing this beautiful limited edition of Le Fanu’s Carmilla I was involved in — but how am I supposed to compete with this amazing stylised signature!!?

Honoured, of course, to have number 13! Also comes with whistle. What could go wrong?

One of my most treasured moments recently was my partner’s epic and glorious meltdown at the labyrinthine stupidity of these new lockers to some poor sod employed to soak up visitor rage all day.

Christ, what will happen if Xi finds out that H P Lovecraft was a bit racist?

Delighted to discover belatedly that earlier this year the American Analog Set put out an EP of even longer, even dronier versions of songs from their 2005 disbanding album Set Free.

In yesterday’s fascist-fash Beautiful Knees contest, No.6 (L-R) is going onto the world finals for both his shapely patellas and his rejection of hopes for world peace, longing instead for ‘relentless hatred and perpetual race war.’ Congrats, Tristram!

At least the feeble, decadent class of book reviewers got this in two volumes— get in training for the single volume release next week, as this is a doozy!

Have you had your choices insidiously undermined by the Wordle-bot yet today?

I still don’t understand why these theatre technicians flash mobbed a whole town — unless there was a major scene change needed for Act 2?

Yeah I’m not opening that in case the answer is they dip it in their own urine and I can never eat sushi again

Of all the great photos of a great actor, this is the one that brings home the brutal reality that we will never see Tim Curry play Nathan Cofnas

We discussed trying to find somewhere in Paris with open view to see the eclipse, but in the end it was too bloody hot to get anywhere. Then we discovered our street was perfectly aligned for it anyway and the quartier came to us!
