Not a particularly cool band these days, and not well-known outside the UK, but Madness have a great rhythm section.

Or maybe “had”… their newer stuff is pretty unbearable to me…

But songs like Our House and Wings Of A Dove would be great to play along to on drums. If you happen to like the music, which you might not!

Invincibility!

I just found a scan of the manual for Sonic 1 on the Master System, the first Sonic version I ever played, which refers to that monitor as “Invincible”

Nope, never.

I live in the UK, I’m in my 40’s and I’ve only ever known a single person who needed to be circumcised for medical reasons.

Beyond medical reasons, which are honestly pretty rare in reality, there’s no need.

I’ve literally never heard an uncircumcised person express a desire to be circumcised.

I thought cars were awesome as a kid and teenager, and couldn’t wait to pass my test. Had my license within 6 months of being old enough to drive.

But then as soon as I went to uni I didn’t have the money for a car or a use for it in a major city.

And then I started to view cars way more negatively due to their impact on society and the environment and never became a car guy.

I love cars in computer games, but in real life I’m more of a “fuck cars” guy these days.

I’m British and quit Facebook and Instagram after Brexit.

Once the Cambridge Analytica stuff came to light, and I realised how these platforms could be (and were being) subverted politically to spread misinformation it was the final push I needed.

Seeing the Covid anti-vax stuff that followed only reinforced how I felt.

I never really used twitter, and decided to leave it that was when Musk took over.

I 99% stopped using Reddit after the 3rd party apps stuff and it became clear what their ambitions for the platform were (although I still check certain things there occasionally).
