An announcement from the Bovine Liberation Front regarding the final book in the #apocalypsecow trilogy #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/ZNdEnhgh2/

Dane Murray had a shocker for #Celtic today, but he is not (solely) to blame. Fielding a clearly unprepared and terrified player is the result of failures from the board, the manager and the people who develop young players. I feel sorry for him.

I don’t usually give #writing advice, because everyone is at it, but this is a rule that keeps me sane: open.substack.com/pub/michae…

Seems a bit unfair to put 11 professional footballers against a boy who lost the use of his legs after being pushed out the window by a sisterfucker, even if he does have the sight. Football’s gone mad!

Sitting on my terrace in Rome. The last four songs blasting out from club in distance: Blue Monday, Just Can’t Get Enough, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Tainted Love. Is it 2025 or have I fallen through an 80s time bubble?

Prejudice against gingers gets everywhere: “In 2021 an orange lobster was … in a grocery store tank, where it had languished for weeks after being shunned by shoppers because of its rare hue and was apparently being picked on by the other lobsters.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

The ending of #28yearslater made me piss myself because I did something similar in the #ApocalypseCow books, except with Noel Edmonds. I think I made the more wholesome choice.

I heard about Ozzy while watching another legend, Nick Cave, deliver an astonishing concert on piano in Rome. Enjoy them and go see them live while you can. Nothing beats that collective live music experience.

I am pretty sure the writers of The Inbetweeners did not foresee The Economist one day calling for more briefcase wankers in government. I would love to see Will, Si, Jay and Neil in the cabinet.

A story, and a lesson for writers on why you shouldn’t procrastinate: open.substack.com/pub/michae…

I am now sure why the big name author who DM’d me about ‘working on a fiction novel’ doesn’t want to discuss my new work.

Mctominay? Mctominaye, more like. Love to see a Scotsman killing it in Serie A.

The best thing about coming to @TheRestHistory late is that I now have hundreds of fascinating and entertaining podcasts waiting to be gobbled up.

Fascinating piece. Debating, arguing, calling the “other side” stupid doesn’t work. Making friends and modeling behaviour does. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Mclusky: yet another band that deserve way more attention.

Personal high point of recently finished novel, now in the hands of my agent, was using Never Fight a Man with a Perm as a cautionary tale for my protagonist to, err, not fight a man with a perm. Writing is a gas. IDLES: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert youtu.be/wMehItNQKAA?feature…
