Co-host of Horror Podcast Bela Lugosi's Shed with HJ Doom. Guitarist, Gamer, Lefty. I rant (and occasionally rave) about gaming and politics. He/Him, or They/Them is fine too.

I love that the lipstick on her teeth was a deliberate stylistic choice.

Have you watched her Tiny Desk? It's brilliant. There's a really good video of her Bonaroo set on YouTube too.

At the weekend we had another situation where heavy rain led to a bit of a damp patch in the top corner of my office. We got a roofing/guttering guy out today to have a look at it assuming the gutters need work. Nope. Section of the roof is buggered and needs £3.5k of work.

Welcome to Bluesky. Remember to follow the Four Golden Rules to the letter: 1) You lock the target, 2) You bait the line, 3) You slowly spread the net, and 4) You catch the man.

I'm getting properly into Chapell Roan, her stuff is amazing and she seems to be speedrunning Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga's careers simultaneously whilst also being something totally unique. The whole album is great, but My Kink is Karma is a classic.

The James Timpson appointment really shows Starmer's political acumen. He's had the keys to Number 10 for less than 24 hours and boom - he's scored a free spare set.

I've got the Dark Elf BB team and her and her teammates are the bane of my life - every single part of them seems designed to catch on storage case foam.

It would be hilarious if Starmer started his tenure at No.10 with a rager party - posting pictures of them all in the garden, dancing in the office, carrying in a suitcase full of wine, the lot.

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

They've uncovered another work by the incredibly profilic creator Hatsune Miku - apparently as well as being responsible for Father Ted, the Harry Potter franchise and the video game Minecraft, she also wrote an amazing series of comics called The Sandman. She's incredible!

Gaiman's work is something I've always adored, but I've always held off a bit on the man himself, at least in the last ten years or so. Rubs me up the wrong way a bit the way he interacts online.

I can't believe I'm the only person who has ever thought of a play called 'A Manchester Night's Dream', but there are zero Google hits. It writes itself - a loose, non-supernatural adaption of the Shakespeare play set in the city centre on a Friday night.

It was a pretty woeful display today, but it does feel like a uniquely English response that the manager should be sacked because we didn't get through to the quarter finals of the Euros in a satisfying way.

I wish that Bravermann, Badenoch et al, would realise that they are only there so that they can be used to spout the hideous stuff so the white male Etonians can go 'How very DARE you try to silence a WOMAN of COLOUR!' when we politely suggest that what they're saying is outright fascist.

If this wasn't Portland then it HAS to be Cambridge, I'm guessing the cycle bridge just north of the station.

Trans people's gender is no less 'natural' than cis people's gender identity. If you have to use the power of the state to coerce people into conforming to gender norms, you are making a loud admission that you do not, in fact, believe that assigned gender is a fact of nature.

OK, I have booked July 5th as annual leave so I can stay up and watch Tories lose their seats while I drink and laugh and drink and laugh. Anyone else planning to do this? Looking for an online meeting place for these shenanigans.

Found out my friend’s son is in a band. It’s this super cringe bougie student hip hop act where they make prank videos in vegetable costumes. He MCs in this weird spring onion outfit. Sweet kid, but a little rapscallion.

Be prepared though, some episodes will make you laugh, some are great bits of horror, and some will absolutely tear your heart out of your chest. One in particular had me sobbing for an hour, but I did watch it about two weeks after my mother died.
