This is long, but worth reading. Could be any one of a number of kids I know.

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong
The long read: I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth

I go out for a bit and come home to this. Not one. Not two. THREE fucking trees up and the living room looking like the seasonal aisle in B&M.

I'm out. Just kill me dead.

It's November the fucking 9th, in case anyone doesn't have a calendar or a copy of today's paper to hand.

We moved in June. Been going on at the kids about this for ages, but tonight the neighbours finally knocked the door to ask if we could stop them shouting and screaming all the time (online games). And they do shout and scream.

Genuinely, any tips? Doesn't matter how much we tell them.

Well this has bothered me far more than it should. They've only just changed it!

Follow this account. It is good.
If you love the Games From The Black Hole blog, please can you share and let people know why.

It's time to get this account a following comparable to X so I can move on! When this account gets to 1000 followers I will not only stop posting on X, I will nuke it from orbit and delete it forever.

Namco Legendary Pack for Atari 50 launches next week at a very reasonable price (about £7). This incredible collection from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social just keeps getting bigger!

Best compilation of all time? It's definitely up there.

Remembering the time I said I wanted to throw dog shit at Tommy Robinson (without tagging him) and within minutes he'd slid into my DMs making thinly veiled threats to come and find me.

This is awesome. Almost 70 games of the NBA regular season being shown live on Prime this year. Full replays of the games available for 72 hours. Hopefully they'll show some Heat games.

Had an idea I might like to read a classic crime novel. Looked it up on Amazon. Bit worried about ordering it now.

Vastly expanded version of my favourite Springsteen album out today and it includes the almost mythical full band versions of a lot of the songs! Springsteen himself didn't even realise they'd been properly recorded until recently.

Do you have one song you always use to test new headphones or speakers or audio setup? I've used Cowboys From Hell by Pantera for at least 30 years now.

See, all I actually want* from Switch 2 is a handheld PS4. The more last gen re-releases we get I can play in handheld the better. Pleased about this!

*Plus a new 3D Mario.

10 y/o came home today with massive cuts on his knees and holes in his joggers. He said he got tackled in rugby in PE and fell over. On the playground.

The teacher said, "get up, it happens in rugby".

Yeah, on grass you stupid cunt! Really reinforcing the twat PE teacher stereotype there. 😡

It still exists!? Amazed they've not been made to change the name of it, mind.

Wish they'd bring Moonshine back. The advert has been in my head for about 40 years.

"Moonshine, Moonshine, looks pretty weird but it tastes just fine..."

Ok this was an annoying one because there were five correct answers for blue... (and yellow seemed too obvious so I thought it was a red herring).

My old band playing Alice What's The Matter by Terrorvision. I think we only ever played it once then dropped it. Also the woman in the middle and the drummer got divorced shortly after and it was only me and the guitarist left. We've got a different singer and drummer now, but plodding on...
