Fela Anikulápó Kuti, 15 October 1938 – 2 August 1997 was a Nigerian musician, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist. He is widely considered as the father of Afrobeat, an African music genre that fuses traditional Yoruba drumming and vocal rhythms with American funk and jazz. At his peak, he was described as one of Africa's most "difficult and charismatic music artists." According to AllMusic, he is a musical and social voice of international relevance.

Kuti was the son of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a Nigerian women's rights activist. Following early international experiences, he and his band Africa 70 (including drummer Tony Allen) rose to prominence in Nigeria throughout the 1970s, during which he was an outspoken critic and target of Nigeria's military juntas. In 1970, he established the Kalakuta Republic commune, which declared independence from military administration. The community was destroyed in a raid in 1978.  He was imprisoned by Muhammadu Buhari's regime in 1984, but was released after 20 months. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he continued to record and perform. Since his death in 1997, his son, Femi Kuti, has overseen reissues and collections of his songs.

This is an excellent achievement and something I'm looking to learn from next season because I feel like I could have done with fewer hits, especially in the first half of the season. View his gameweek history here.

Full disclosure, I just turned the last page and I'm drunk. Alright, why am I writing this? I just read Old Man and the Sea because it's a quintessential classic and afterwards I googled some opinions on it because it seems like the kind of book you discuss. Turns out a lot of people don't even like it! That's the sort of thing you'd want to know before reading it right?

But you know what? I fegging loved it! I see people complaining that it's a drag. Yes it is, it's an 80 page story that's a drag, that's an achievement in and of itself.

But you know what? It's supposed to be a farking drag! That's my takeaway anyway. The story is a painful slog in the same way that Santiago's experience of reeling in the fish is an ensufferement. Yeah, I know that's not a word, deal with it.

And that matters because while you're suffering through the story, like Santiago is suffering with his cramping hands getting rope burned while his back aches, you got time to reflect. You got time to reflect on Santiago's delirious musings on friendship. On suffering to achieve your goals. On the way we kill and destroy for our advantage.

The story drags to hammer home the point Hemmingway makes about the nature of struggle, success and defeat. That you can destroy a man but not defeat him as long as his spirit is strong. As long as he masters his suffering to obtain success.

You might not be able to master bad luck. You can't kill all the sharks that circle. But just like the sharks stripping the old man's fish, they couldn't take away the fact that he triumphed over the fish because he mastered his suffering.

So yeah, while everyone's entitled to their opinions. I say I fugging loved this story. No pulp entertainment here but an arrogant bastard of a tale that mashes your face into the dolphin meat on the bow because it's the story you need instead of the story you want.

But what the fuck do I know. I drank from the first page to the last and I think that's the only way to appreciate this story.

Incidentally, if you're into scotch, Ardbeg Corryvreckan is a beast of a drink. The initial peppery burn gives way to a smooth combination of flavours that wrap up in a tongue-coating oily smooth smokiness that is the very definition of a complex drink. My ex described it as chewing up three cigarettes before setting your mouth on fire. I highly recommend it. It'll put hair on your moustache.

Now I'm off to bed. I'm having a horrible sensation of sobering up that is entirely unwelc

I had enough with windows, partially switched to pop os in my work machine and leave my windows there just in case Re-formated my 2nd hardrive using pop, no problem at all Now, a few months down the line, a ransom entered into all pcs from work, having pop and that formated drive saved my files! Lost just a few old pics in the windows part, nothing major!

Super Bike, an episode of Fairly odd parents (before it went to shit), features probably the most grounded and legitimate depiction of an abusive relationship ive seen in a show.

Super Bike, Timmy's living bicycle he wished for, goes out of his way to try and have Timmy all to himself, doing everything from feigning injury for sympathy, to trying to gaslight Timmy into hating his parents. At one point he even says "you know, if your dad ACTUALLY loved you, he'd let you ride me".

Eventually. after Timmy spurns him to use his crappy bike made by his dad, Super Bike snaps and tries to kill Timmy, because if he cant have him, "...nobody can".
