Outrageous: Rishi Sunak approved Boris Johnson's honours list - featuring Jacob Rees Mogg and Priti Patel - the same day Boris Johnson resigned as an MP. If, like me, you agree Boris Johnson's list should be blocked sign the huge petition now: 38d.gs/Boris-Honours-…
25 mins into a Black Boned Angel track when I finally accept that #drone metal is a crock of shit and a travesty of #doom, and stick on Shakira and Wyclef Jean.
#Khanate To Be Cruel review: A thick, fried slice of gloomy halloumi. If you liked Khanate before, you'll like this one. If you didn't, this won't change things. If you've never heard them before, brace yourself. #doom #metal
The mighty @tochinoshin, Lifter of Giants, has retired from #sumo. I will miss him. We wish him happiness for the future.
The kings of neighbour-worrying have returned. Lovely. khanate.bandcamp.com/album/to-be-cr… #khanate #doom

To Be Cruel, by Khanate
Monarchists and republicans alike, indeed all of us, should be very concerned about the increased intolerance towards peaceful protest. Intolerance is not something any of us want associated with Britain. theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…

I think there's something wrong with my mesolimbic pathway— You drive.
Does everyone remember the individual smell/s of each decade as a unique identifier, or this another part of my abnormal psychology? #nostalgia #neurology #memory
Valentine’s day - A day on which Mr. Al Capone ruined a romantic night out for many diners by massacring them. Died of syphilis, he did. So there is some justice.
GUITARISTS: What does guitar strap length choice say about your playing?
Meanwhile, @nhk do not provide a way to watch #sumo officially outside of Japan except for highlights shows, and I no longer seem to be able to buy tanimachi status on the JSA's Grand Sumo app to be able to watch all the matches with poor download speeds and without commentary.
Today, NHK issued a 3rd strike to my channel and YouTube deleted the whole account. All 7,000+ videos are gone. Very sad. End of an era. I will try to start a new channel with only my commentary in February. Updates and links here on Twitter soon.

The @audibleuk app has awarded me the 'Alexa badge' for listening via Alexa device. I don't own an Alexa device and have never used one. I don't think anything could compel me to, either.
Never mind bests of 2022, tell me stuff new to you which gives you goosebumps. Doesn't matter when it was released.
