[Celebrity Traitors spoilers]

Watching Uncloaked, going over the old ones. Chasing up something Paloma Faith mentioned about playing a serial killer in a TV show. Google AI decided to "help".

Fun fact, no.

Also, you're probably going to want more than one British accent on your accent checker app.

Must have walked by here hundreds of times and never noticed the grave of this local legend (tbf likely a new stone).

Sake Dean Mohamed played a huge role in reviving Brighton and making it a destination, and in bringing Indian ideas to the UK. He was after all the […]

TIL that bands that chuck inflatable pool toys into the crowd and bands that are on the harder end of death metal need not be different things. Thanks, Party Cannon.

Generally I think Tidal does pretty decent algorithmic playlists (I don't heavily use them but I check in on them).

But today's "somewhat fashionable" playlist has chosen violence today.

I suppose Kiwanuka and Lingua Ignota are both heartfelt but I think that transition would jar...

Human Leather.

Tom on drums. Amée on bass. Some guy from the audience on poppers, doing tai chi and more poppers.

(Tom threw up after the set.)

Haven't seen one of these bad boys for a while. Certainly a better bit of 90s nostalgia than white dogshit.

Not sure if art exhibition or old meme in Impact font.

Back very late after seeing Magic Dyke.

Best show I've seen featuring a drag king dressed as Captain Birdseye squeezing lemon onto a strap-on made to look like a fish finger.

And some final content - my ranking (in tierlist form!). First time I saw all the semis so quite excited!

Rankings purely off songs and staging and purely relative within ESC2025. Left-to-right within a tier broadly indicates preference and some countries are […]

The Sun Ra Arkestra live! 111 years old, 100 year old bandleader in Marshall Allen (happy 101st in two weeks!). Still banging.

Not exactly keen on the festival the show was part of, and the timings meant I had to leave the gig half-way to get back home (a real […]

Mothman is called Paddy Steer and plays live drums with a shit-ton of analogue synths (like oscillators and stuff).

Because stage banter is always true, he's doing this to buy a new washing machine. 😛

The opener appears to be a Mothman.

Bit of a long shot but any Fedi peeps in/near Brighton who'd be interested in seeing a play for cheap tonight?

The play is The Heresy of Love by Helen Edmundson, about Mexican author Juana de la Cruz and is a mix of comedy and tragedy.

Fair few tickets left for […]

Popped onto the other place (or the other other place? BlueSky in any event) to catch up on current events. Not much useful today but I did see this headline.

The context was someone, not usually an Oxford comma advocate, saying this headline would benefit from one […]

A third Hyrule Warriors game covering The Imprisoning War in the past setting of Tears of the Kingdom (Zelda being Zelda there are probably multiple instances of the The Imprisoning War). No Link visible, interestingly.

As someone who's pretty excited to see this […]

Also our Lord and Saviour seems to be missing. Some say He shall return to us one day.

Alright - Switch 2 direct. Don't have time to watch it in one burst but I've been watching a bit with late lunch before a work meeting.

First thoughts - Mario Kart World - it looks cool, I'm loving almost everything about it. But, that new DK design […]

Missed this yesterday but ngl Discord's April Fools joke was class.

Not so much a trick as a joke but ... eh, it's done well so I'll take it.

Can anyone from the UK help me find the mistake in this image?

Looked at Tidal playlists today - think this one might be a wild ride!

(Though, aside from thinking Ulver is still a metal band, my other playlists seemed sensible!)
