Spent far too much time this morning wondering whether a man in his late thirties (me) can possibly get away with wearing an Adidas Mewtwo Pokemon Samba.

We need a serious reckoning about the British press. We've had too many tragedies. And this whole saga was nothing but appealing to the worst, most prejudiced instincts of their writers and readers. They turned this into a cruel, relentless spectacle until a terrible outcome.
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

Watching Alien: Earth and i never thought we'd see anything more terrifying than the xenomorph. However, they did such a fantastic job with the design of the other alien lifeforms, especially that eyeball/octopus.

House of The Dragon: Sheepstealer did not deserve to be treated like that! The Harranhal storyline has grown so boring Vhagar has abandoned one-eyed Visenya to get some sunshine on a mini break to Dorne. Why do i care more about the fate of CGI dragons than the actual characters in the show?

House of The Dragon thoughts this week: Where is granny Vhagar? And why did she abandon one-eyed, Visenya at Harrenhal? Silverwing and Vermithor are sooo cute. Cole finally got just what he deserves! Rhaena, you're a Targaryen princess with a dragon, don't let Lady Schiaparelli slap you around.

Time eventually humbles all great champions. Djokovic is really struggling to keep up with Sinner at Wimbledon.

Do you ever see a post pop up on your feed and wonder why the algorithm sent you this, but then you read the shady comments underneath the post and it all suddenly makes sense.

I'm exhausted after today's Wimbledon yet i still have to support Rhaenyra Targayren's ascension to the Iron Throne this evening.

I would love to see Naomi Osaka get this win over Sabalenka at Wimbledon. Come on, lass! You can do it!. 👊

Watching Berrettini vs. Dimitrov at Wimbledon and the only way this match could be improved is without having to listen to Andrew Castle's interjections between points.

I don't understand people who have their phone set to 'ring'. Have a little decorum and set it to 'vibrate' ffs.

The best part of today was arriving home to see my neighbour's cat waiting eagerly to greet me on the step. I think she likes me, but it also could be the occasional tin of tuna fish i keep giving her...

Looks amazing! I really hope they don't rush it though. Rhaenyra is only just about to take the Iron Throne and in the trailer it looks like they're already moving to her downfall. #HouseofTheDragon

It's hotter than Satan's taint in this garden but i've got a gin & tonic and some factor 50 so i'm fully prepared.

After this evening, I believe there is a definite positive correlation between age and the time it takes to get served at a gay bar.

Houseplant shopping makes me so happy until 3 months later when they inevitably begin to wither and lose all their foliage. The remaining bare stalks just look so depressing i give up and throw them out.

Slightly obsessed with Interior Motives at the moment. I have a takeaway, a glass of wine and i'm watching Courtney Love and Ivy Wolk judge a straggot's bedroom.

Should probably be revising right now instead of sat in a beer garden with a glass of wine.

I can't believe i've still got 1500 words to write before Monday morning.
