Hi all, a quick intro post.
The basics are in my bio so for added colour:
I like sci-fi/fantasy and comedy audiobooks and podcasts, mainly 90's music but some more recent too.
Here's my profile on Letterboxd boxd.it/2yTrN

Day 9: A song that feels underrated
On the Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man album 'Out of Season' (an underrated album) is the great track, Tom the Model. Loved that she played this when I saw her live a couple of years ago.

Hi Womble, how you're having a good Sunday. I've just started reading Adrian Tchaikovsky's 'Children of Memory' and I'm part way through Ben Aaronovitch's RoL graphic novel, 'Monday, Monday' (need to finish this as it's due back at the library this week 😁)

Orban is thoroughly fascist for anyone who isn’t aware. Farage keeps the worst company and we should judge him on that.

Well at least it won't be a whitewash 🙂
Wales finally manage to spend more than 2 minutes in England 22 without giving away a penalty and they come away with 7 points. Miracles do happen 😂

Late to the #EngvWal match, so lagging behind. But at 20 minutes in it's looking like being a long evening as Wales don't seem to have learnt anything since the last few games. They're giving away penalties with wild abandon 😩

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

That pesky evidence getting in the way. It's all so much easier if you pretend it doesn't exist.
Yesterday Nigel Farage again pledged to scrap the default 20mph policy if Reform is in power in Wales
I asked Dan Thomas (Reform’s new Welsh leader) about police collision figures (Jan ‘25) showing around 100 fewer deaths/serious injuries on 20/30mph roads in the year after the limit was introduced

"I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
"I'll be back."
"Resistance is futile."
"Are you my Mummy?"
