This is just what the brain of a black metal fan looks like.

He's learning quickly from #DeskCat, and also seems to be a #ShoulderCat 😺

@benjaminparry glad you like them! I couldn't make the date last year, but did seem them at The Shacklewell Arms at the end of 2023 (with Mong Tong), which was a great evening.

I love this band, and what a brilliant video.

Haha, yeah from a new Howdens kitchen about ten years ago 😊

Slow progress, but she is starting to accept (or at least tolerate) him. They now touch noses, but she still hisses at him when he jumps at her in his kittenish ways (which is all the time 😅).

PURRTRAN - ᓚᘏᗢ - A Programming Language For People Who Wish They Had A Cat To Help Them Code

This is very funny, found (of course) via a Japanese website. 😹

Love this: "Hex only works 4 hours a day. This limitation is due primarily to the fact that Hex is incredible lazy and will often nap for long periods of time. During these naps, Hex is not available to assist you with your programming tasks. Realistically, Hex is only available between 5-8 AM and 5-11 PM local time."

There was a post rock event at IKEA in Taichung... Why don't we get this here? 😭

I didn't know this band until tonight, so will have to check them out more, but I like this.

If what I read is correct, Starmer literally (and I mean literally) said "I always say and believe we should all uphold international law, but ...".

What an absolutely pathetic sad joke of a Prime Minister.

The explanation consists of three letters, O, I, and L. 🙄

It's only the first of January, and I already have a new Japanese instrumental math rock discovery ❤️

The shortest book I read this year was also the one that took me longest to read. Not because it was bad, but just because it was in Japanese. 😁

I heard about おいしいごはんが食べられますように when it won the Akutagawa Prize, so when I saw it in a bookshop in Shimokitazawa I thought I'd buy it (being a short novella, it seemed less daunting).

And I really enjoyed it, even though it was hard work 😁.
おいしいごはんが食べられますように (May you have delicios meals) by 高瀬隼子 (Junko Takase).
