I felt Bowie's spirit guiding me with this one. Scored some belters in my time but this was ethereal.

Fell into a rabbit-hole of reading about the bin Laden assassination and the most memorable bit was OBL owning a 9/11 conspiracy book. The Guardian did a follow-up asking 9/11 truthers about this, and the response was: OBL died in 2001/2 anyway, the raid was a lie.

I’m sure I read a sci-fi short story along these lines once.

Found the hunter’s workshop IRL. Bloodborne gives Gehrman quite a few ‘agricultural’ touches, always felt the implication was he was a farmer / labourer before it all kicked off.

My six year-old has just demonstrated the floss dance. I said do you know what that dance is called. “It’s the floss daddy, would you like me to teach you?” That’s it, I’m out.

How can I enjoy the taste of such a lunch, knowing how completely I have been screwed. I even said “cheers mate” to the man when I bought it. Well not his fault is it. Rank villainy in sandwich shop form.

Just bought a baguette and bottle of water from Upper Crust: £7.50. Thieving robbing larcenous good-for-nothing half-inching pilfering bar stewards.

A rather metal pic of Saint Bartholomew holding his own flayed skin and the flensing knife used to do it. I suppose at least his tormentors listened when he cried out ‘not the face!’

I thought it'd be fun to chat a bit about my work as Art Director on the Destiny 2 expansion cinematics, working with the fabulous Axis Animation. Getting to work on Destiny was a dream come true, and I am so proud of the work we did ♥️ @axisstudiosgrp @Bungie @DestinyTheGame

LRT: I have literally never considered that ‘my’ side of the bed is only an illusion. Tonight my partner shall learn! Me: “let’s switch sides tonight!” Her: “no.” Me: “ok.”

He’s always been something of a controversialist and so to an extent I put some of his nuttier moments down to that: ‘getting in the papers’, so to speak, when a new album’s out. But it’s so clear by now he just holds some deeply wacky Little Englander views. It’s not an act.

A genius brought low by his own hubris. I got 100 pages into his Autobiography and sacked it off, he’s a terrifically bad prose writer. His wider opinions now... tbh I just cringe whenever I see a headline on the Guardian with ‘Morrissey’ in it. Never good. Makes me sad.
