More kudos for the English cricket team for the way they welcomed Kawaja to the ground.

Classy, fellas.

Something I hate about "reality" tv shows is that a character visits someone and you get shots of cars arriving and from inside the house. Then they say "Hello" and shit...

Ridiculous.

Good work, Ben Stokes on getting your bowler away from the umpire during that non-decision. Unsure what the 3rd Umpire was doing...

Sounds like a great idea.

Good luck with that, America.

It is the fault of the English and Australian cricket teams that I have American "football" on my TV at the moment.

I know this is rich coming from a Test Cricket fan... But it is boring.

I rarely venture to Twitter... but every now and again it can be worth it.

Watching a bunch of Trump cultists lose their minds over a Tweet from Brian Krassenstein (no idea who that is, btw), calling for his arrest, etc.

When he was just aping some words Trump used on Truth Social.

End of year music stuff.

Thread 1/12

My top 9 albums of 2025

Holy shit... what a year for music. Anyone who says "Music isn't as good as it used to be" isn't listening. There is so much of it, it's impossible that there's nothing out there for them.

Here's something I appreciate about the Dogma 4K box set from @umbrellaent.bsky.social.

The card stuck to the back of the box neatly fits inside the box when removed, meaning that you don't need to keep it stuck to the box or risk losing it (because it holds useful information).

Bravo.

Not the first time I've disagreed with The Guardian on a matter of taste.

First and third episodes were excellent.

Second one contained a ridiculous foot-chase scene that was a slave to the chosen method of shooting and had way too much exposition.
Fourth ep plodded.

Not the best TV of the year.
