Issue 17: King

Welcome to the seventeenth issue of Everything Is Made Up

Hi there!

This is the seventeenth issue of my newsletter and it is dedicated to B.B. King. As always, I’ll talk about news (personal and general), what I’ve been watching, listening to, reading, and a little something extra at the end.

And if you have any content suggestions or questions, let me know!

Okay, enough irresolution. Let’s get it started.

News

I don’t think anything of note has happened since the last newsletter so I’ll move on…

What I’ve been watching

  • I discovered a comedian called Ben Palmer who trolls MLMs (pyramid schemes) and bigots on Facebook

  • So many Kitchen Nightmares episodes

  • I rewatched Candyman (1992) at the weekend. I love that movie.

  • I also saw Flow a few weeks ago and it was beautiful albeit bittersweet at the end.

What I’ve been listening to

  • Lots of Brand New Heavies

  • My 2025 playlist

  • George Benson

  • SiR

  • Zero 7

What I’ve been reading

Still not been reading any books but I have read some articles:

  • An Unlikely Pairing: Final Fantasy IX and Voodoo

  • My friend Clover’s new blog

  • Trusting your own judgement on ‘AI’ is a huge risk

  • Beyond the link tax: journalism and the changing nature of the internet

  • Confessions of an Adjacent Geek by my good friend, Keidra

  • A blog about the idea of leaving social media by another good friend, Olu

Something that interested me

  • A skatepark modelled after bacon and eggs cooking in a frying pan


Well, I’m gonna make like Francis Odega and gerarahere. Thanks for reading and join me next time for more of the same. Any comments or suggestions, get in touch! And if you'd like to help out with my content creation endeavours, check out my Patreon.
