Hard to pick just one in my case "Deplorable" suggests moral censure, so it could be any number of my instinctive prejudices--and it could also be my consumption of hardcore porn And yet I'd still say my besetting sin (the one I'd end up in Dante's inferno for) is... (Half-assed drum roll)...

I was tempted to reply to a twitter thread about what the best david fincher film is I was going to say 'zodiac' – which first of all is wrong cos its obviously 'gone girl' And I realised, fuck that's such a boring film bro opinion There are different varieties of film bros ofc but get what...

A nerd on a chatroom linked to this https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/memoria-adytum I'd never heard of SCP before. I've not read a single word of this but the idea of a collaborative story seems intriguing to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCP_Foundation...

I bought a fitbit last week in the hope that it might addict me to exercise. So far it seems to be working a bit. I'll take the stairs instead of the lift just to get extra steps in. I'll cycle a lot faster to get my heart rate going. (Already this concerns me as obviously just rolling along on...

Someone in my office has got one of those UK garage classics Spotify playlists on. Lots of gold ofc but then there's "Babycakes". Made me wonder what are the crappest garage anthems. You might even like them in spite of the crapness. That's how I feel about "Sambuca".

Now available to stream. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/arts/music/de-la-soul-catalog-streaming.html A major blind spot in my hip-hop knowledge. I know the singles everybody knows but most of this stuff will be completely new to me cos for whatever reason I never bought their albums back...
