Went to martial arts class for 2 hours (2 hours) and emerged to find:

Visitors to the USA will need to provide 5 years of social media history.

The US Navy have pinched a Venezuelan oil tanker without saying why.

Toffee Crisps can no longer be categorised as chocolate.

Hell in a hand basket.

I've got to do Secret Santa wishlist for a gift under a tenner.

What reasonably priced paperback should I ask for and why is it the perfect choice?

This is a lovely thing.
"Some people collect comic books, or vinyl records, or refrigerator magnets. I collect words."

Have you wondered about my weekly "from the quote book" posts?

Here's the explanation.

Looking forward to spending a couple of hours with some old friends in a board game cafe today. Any recommendations for some 4 player games that are quick to learn and fun?

I've had a piece of flash published by @freeflashfiction.bsky.social and it's a piece I'm really proud of

It's called Bubble Man and the subject matter could really put a dent in your happy morning.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
