Englishman living in Mexico. 2 daughters / 1 wife / 5 to 20 friends depending on how social I'm feeling.
One song for me and one for the children. They pick a 2 minute song about washing their hands and I pick Marquee Moon. Legally I've done nothing wrong.

Kids in the back of the car complaining about my old person music.

Getting schooled by a ten year old at chess keeps me humble.

I had the most wonderful dream where John Walters was in an episode of Law and Order helping them track down a con woman.

Imma use my first Bluesky post to casually mention that Ted Cruz is a dick.

St. Vincent is probably a terrible neighbour with her lackluster pet control.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Doing that thing where I go onto Pitchfork and download their top twenty songs of the 2020s or this year so my liked songs aren't all 'boring old person music'. I don't really like most of it but I want to at least pretend I listen to things made after 2008.

A question for people from the US. Is it common for people to support teams from different cities for different sports? For example if I'm from Chicago could I support the White Socks in Baseball, the Pistons in basketball, and the Lions in the NFL or would people treat me like a freak?

My wife is putting up our Christmas tree in November. I married a madwoman (who doesn't use Blue Sky so I'm safe saying that).

How I feel when I sneakily press the espresso button on the coffee machine at Oxxo to add a little extra to my latte. #gangster

I'm deeply ashamed of the amount of Warhammer fiction I read compared to 'serious' fiction. Except for Lion : Son of the Forest and The Infinite and the Divine which are amazing even if based on toys.

A friend recommended I support the Cleveland Browns and then died before I could tell him they sucked and I wanted to pick another team. That's why I support them and am constantly annoyed on Sundays despite having no connection to Cleveland or Ohio.

As you can see the real winner of the last Warhammer tournament I went to was fashion.
