Was ljsd, lukenothugh, at various times. Trying to be better.
Fun game: go to the Kindle store and find the Vampire MPreg* book named after you. There will be one, I guarantee.

*I did not know this genre existed until a couple of friends and I found ourselves unwittingly playing this game

"This background check should take 20 minutes."

On what planet?!

Very interesting...????

I thought this might be a Wes Craven's New Nightmare sort of thing, with Lee Cronin playing himself... and/or the Mummy?!
I saw the title "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and thought it was a parody poster.

Jake Berry on Peston saying the ICE murders were "situations where everyone's carrying a gun"

Right. Time for 'Weapons'. Should be interesting.

Ok but really, this is astonishingly bad.

Damn, I can't see Marty Supreme this week bc I'm too busy being Social

The problem with so many Labour politicians, from Mahmood to Miliband, and the reason that none of them will make election-winning leaders, is they're too focused on "how I think you should live your life" – people are never going to like that.

If anyone knows of anywhere available to rent in Manchester from early March, please do let me know. I'm sure it's not hopeless, but it naturally feels that way.

An apparently random question, but one I'm asking for a reason:

How well-known, these days, is Steve Bray? Would it be reasonable to refer to him in a crossword?

Could Andy Burnham be Mayor of Greater Manchester and MP if the role of PCC is abolished, as it should be anyway?

I'm using Qobuz. Unfortunately, it's still pretty crap. Hopefully it will improve with time.
Well, after everything I’m finally leaving spotify for a more ethical music streaming service. Was afraid to make the change for a long time. Going to try Deezer for a bit but from what I’ve read I think I may go to Qobuz in the end.

I know everyone's probably forgotten about the M Night Shyamalan film 'Trap' but I still find it genuinely outrageous that it wasn't nominated at the Oscars for its music.
January 25, 2026 at 7:20 PM
Except now the people of Greater Manchester know he doesn't really want to be their Mayor.
Wonder if this is the perfect outcome for Burnham. Keir looks like a scared machine pol. Builds up the Burnham brand- avoid booths by election and leader contest he’s not certain to win while boosting his status as the future King and the demand for him. Becoming leader now is too soon for him. 1/2
Full Labour statement on why Burnham was blocked.

This could all be very anticlimactic

Oh no

The toddlers are learning to talk like ChatGPT

Wait, no, it's worse

ChatGPT is trained to talk like a toddler
This morning I overheard the nearly-four-year-old respond to a suggestion that he might like to do some fun activity with “good guess! I actually want to watch Paw Patrol.”

Ok the foxes are definitely getting bolder. One just casually wandering on the road at 9am.

Set my alarm really early because I had stuff to do. In the end, I couldn't sleep, so now I'm just exhausted and haven't achieved what I wanted to.
