Same reason Per & Marie didn’t call their 2012 album Two-rism.

Just over a week away from my third Wembley Arena gig. Lena could never replace Marie, but from listening to the new single she’s not trying to.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere

For me, like many others, The Boss didn't appear on my radar until Born In The USA. This story, the creation of the Nebraska album, is a compelling tale of how depression can take hold of anyone.

Jeremy Allen White is an excellent Bruce, bursting with energy… ⏭️

I’m of the days when arcades all looked like Flynn’s. Wall-to-wall stand-ups. The sit-ins were epic. HYDRAULIC SPACE HARRIER, for crying out loud. Look it up.

Now? Ye actual gods.

Just had some of my music collection’s album corrupt on me - bizarrely, just four albums by @jonathancoulton.bsky.social.

I’d been wanting to tinker with some new fonts i yoinked earlier in the week, so I cracked open Affinity Photo, and - welp.

Nice ligatures.

Oh, but sure, wrong wing, y’all just go right-ass on ahead and tell me more about your one true, just and loving god…

Jesus Fucking Matrix. Never mind the existence of war, genocide, cancer or AIDS; what omnipotent, omniscient, benign, benevolent God would allow such hate?

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com Just got this obvious scam ad on YouTube, you talking (very vaguely with badly rendered AI lip synching) about an investment opportunity that you’d personally pay £50K to anyone do couldn’t make money from it. Total horsecrap, naturally. Figured you’d like to know.

@sfbags.bsky.social My Magnetic (only ⅓ paid for 💧) turned up Tuesday morning, and holly carp it is SUBLIME. Looks, feels AND smells so good.

Just need the (also magnetic) sling I Kicked for to land in October, and I’m set for THE single coolest busting out of an NS2 on a Shinkansen to Kyoto ever.

Couple of shots of Reiko-chan in there as well, one hopes. She started off cute in Type 4, but over the years she just turned absolute 🥌🧊🦊. Those pics in the recent Retro Gamer article proved that. Rowr.

Another post I saw about LinkedIn a bit further down my Blu feed. Not exactly conducive to getting me to go within a Norwegian mile of it, if I’m being honest…

Not a soul on this planet could convince me this isn’t deliberate now.

America as a country is dead to me. I used to want to go on a multi-state road trip there; no more. The place has transcended toxic and is now heading for xenomorph blood levels of caustic. Even my white ass wouldn’t be safe.

The Goonies (40th Anniversary)

Still as ridiculously silly as it was back in 1985. Spielberg and Donner crafted a kids’ adventure flick for the ages. It’s been decades since a movie was this kinda glorious fun.

Wonder if anything will ever come of that sequel talk of not so long ago.

Might I suggest the internet now refers to it as the Streisand-Epstein Effect.

Hmmm.

Have a wander through the Mario Kart World soundtrack. There’s some amazing ska remixes of classic tunes from the whole series in there.

Just had a can of this that’s been on chill a couple of days, and I really can’t say I’m impressed by it at all.

While there might have been a very (VERY) weak hint of lime, there overwhelming aroma and flavour was that of… pencil shavings. ✏️

Not pleasant in the slightest. Do better, Suntory.

So, Elio then.

SF references that flew higher over the audience’s heads than the ISS, cameos that went even further into the stars & the usual early/preteen asshats trying to ruin it for everyone else.

A decent enough tale of a fish outta his star system, trying to find his place in the universe.

Shout out and signal boost to anyone who’s at/going to SunnyCon this weekend - stop by the Moodypidge stall, say hi to @moodypidge.bsky.social, buy merch (shirts, stationery, stickers, stress toys etc) and maybe (probably) pronounce @ruariotoole.bsky.social’s name wrong.

Tell’em Severine sent ya.
