The worst thing about PSR is they've tricked lower-table/league clubs into believing it's in-place to protect them against spending beyond their means, so they're unlikely to vote against it, handing the clubs it 'truly' protects the majority vote any time it comes up for review.
I feel like I've watched this several times an hour, every hour, since about 2:20pm this past Saturday. UTV.
INCREDIBLE END TO THE GAME 🔥 Emi Buendia wins it for Aston Villa in the 95th minute! @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK
My story, Glass Womb, has been published by the good people at Blood+Honey! Give it a look! It's loosely based on a short poem I once wrote called 'I am a vending machine, pregnant with a human-shaped man'. Make of this information what you will...
Short story "Glass Womb" by Simon Read @SimonLRead. “They tried to fix me once. Opened me up with metal keys and bored eyes, found nothing but snacks and wires and a sticky note: thank you. I deleted the footage. Burned the timestamp.” bloodhoneylit.com/fiction/glass-…
Pulp delivering the performance of the weekend at Glastonbury (although Four Tet was incredible last night). They sound incredible and the fact they're not headlining is nothing short of negligent booking.
I wrote some absurdist satire. Robot Butt gave it a home. Stock Market Speedrunning: robotbutt.com/2025/06/05/sto…
The good people at Kinpaurak published a flash fiction piece I wrote. I initially wanted to write it as a play because I think it would be dead funny as a play, but I have no experience in such matters so, if you produce plays, please do be in touch. kinpaurak.com/2025/04/08/bax…
Drove all the way to work today only to realise I'd forgotten my laptop, so drove home to get it, only to then realise I'd left the house key in my coat draped over the chair at work, so drove back to work to get the key, and then decided to drive home to work from home...
To me, one of the best lessons we could learn from David Lynch is to stop demanding explanations of every piece of art from the artist who made it and instead let the art talk and decide what it means individually to you. What a richer way to experience the world.
What a wild, yet enriching, ride. Began one month before the pandemic lockdowns and, at times, I was not certain we would ever get to this point... yet, here we are! I can't recommend @cardiffmet and its fantastic staff enough.

Compliance/non-compliance are terms I'd love to see removed from workplace culture. Feels like such authoritarian terminology.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the headline slots on the Pyramid Stage should be reserved exclusively for household (or near household) names. It should be 'the' pinnacle of a music career.
This one, and it's not even remotely close.
What viral video makes you laugh no matter how many times you watch it? Mine is ‘bye driver’
Oh, not Tony Green. What a sad loss. Grew up watching Bullseye. As a kid, he was always my favourite part of the show. Total legend.
Just saw a van for a company called 'Axis Carpets' which, of course, is the natural rival to Allied Carpets.
I got a Stewart Lee joke in my Christmas cracker.
What is the most boring Christmas food and why is it stollen?
