Brandi Carlisle singing with Soundgarden was not on my 2025 bingo card. Sounds fantastic.

My wife is currently 9 time zones away, though only 8 hours because of summer time. I'm finding it weirdly disconcerting to be on such different schedules, in a way that her being in Milton Keynes or even New York isn't. Kurt Vonnegut probably coined a term for this feeling in Cat's Cradle

I've been on dog duty this week while Theo is away at a conference, and that comes with a contractual obligation to send photos. Here are a few.

An irresistible tune and also a good example of a cover that far surpasses the original.

UK Bluesky users should read this. TLDR: don't sign up to age verification on Bluesky unless you want your personal data to be even more commodified than it is at the moment.

We've just come back from a trip with George the lurcher and our "lovely", "well mannered" and "impeccably behaved" dog has better Airbnb reviews than we do.
