What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
Looks like there were plenty of iconic albums that came out but at the time I mainly bought compilations.
However - there was this one which I adored!

Has anyone noticed the number of 'Explained' channels now popping up on YouTube? All made up from AI garbage and horrific fake robotic voices and random stock photos which have no relevance to the subject matter. I've started blocking the channels now - anyone else?

So.... for the Apple fanboys and girls. Are you gonna buy this?
Other than POTUS, this may be the stupidest thing I've ever seen. $229.95. What a steal! I'm sure many would have paid twice that for such a nice... sock.

Apple has built its reputation on cutting-edge devices and sleek design, but the company’s latest product is decidedly more low-tech.

It was originally called Dye Katana and it was gonna be a game about collecting cute colored swords, but, you know...

Just finished a recording of an upcoming episode with Ash from @underconsolepod.bsky.social. This may be the longest episode yet but trust me you're going to enjoy it when it comes out in January.

I never got a chance to go to the 'Dimension Jump' conventions for Red Dwarf fans here in the UK, although I did get to two Trek/Dwarf conventions in the 90s!
However, I have just bought two tickets to go to the Official Red Dwarf Convention in 2026! Anyone eles going?

It's been a few weeks now since the end of Alien Earth's first season and can I just say how unsettling I STILL find this thing? Probably more than the xenomorph.

I've been playing the Star Trek tables on Pinball FX on my Xbox. Honestly, they're a lot of fun. However, couldn't they find better voice actors to play the characters? It took me ages to realise that one voice was meant to be O'Brien - he sounds nothing like him!

I really wish @itvx.com would have different show trailers in their ad breaks. I'm getting bored of seeing ads for The Flash, Roswell New Mexico, Nolly, Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters and The Fortune Hotel. It feels like they're the only shows they have. They've been running them for months!

Spent the weekend in Plymouth for a comic con and I have to say it was so nice to drive down the M5 not seeing a single flag on a motorway bridge...
That was until I got to Plymouth - jeez... is that where all the flag-sh*ggers live these days?

Made it to episode 19 of my Fringe rewatch - The Road Not Taken. Nice to see Clint Howard's character Emmanuel Grayson thinking he's Spock.
Considering we meet William Bell in the next episode, this made me smile.

Getting near the end of a seven day non-stop run of late shifts at work, three of which have been overtime shifts. I will be looking forward to climbing into bed tonight knowing I'm not in work tomorrow!

2. The new uniforms... Tell me you see it too. Yeah? Yeah????
