My pals like to joke my epitaph will read: “I never wrote the f*cking book.”

But I did just co-write one – which is why it's got enough synth puns to make a grown woman bleep.

I don't just use AI to generate pics of dogs vomiting rainbows on the Sagrada Família.

At the risk of making myself redundant, I asked Claude to reverse-engineer my writing style. Then compose a Substack with the title: EQ² + AI = WTF?!

I didn’t expect it to chuck in a portaloo, Iggy Pop and cheese. Meet my sloppelgänger ↓

I named my first dog Emperor Ming in my Flash Gordon phase. Today, I have half a dog. Proving I can, sometimes, do things by halves.

Morrissey cancelled his Valencia gig yesterday, blaming a lack of sleep. Get a grip, Steven. I haven’t slept since 1977.

My dog and I now share a prescription.

Read my latest Substack. Features an owl, a lark and talking dogs.

Hey! Must be a devil between us

Surgery under a false name, my blood on a fascist’s hands, and the Pixies poke my third tit.

Day off. How shall I use this morning wisely?
- watch Celebrity Traitors

Anyone could drop dead at any point. But imagine knowing you had high odds of a stroke at any moment, without warning – meaning you might never walk, talk, or even breathe again. How would you live?

Happy Halloween! MTV is dead. But I’m not – yet.

Launching today, Goldapple Unplugged is inspired by the malevolent gatecrasher in my brain. If I have to live with a monster, when better to celebrate it than Halloween?

To all the non-British people watching the first episode of season four of Slow Horses, it's essential to know that Jaffa Cakes are *technically* not a biscuit.
