Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

I had a ticket to see Moz in the 90s in Pittsburgh. He canceled. I’ve never seen a show of his.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Holding up one of my cats' paws next to a huge jagged claw scratch on the inside of our front door. It's not a match. The defense argument appears to be that it was a literal demon. Jury is skeptical

We either need bullshit jobs or a UBI-type thing. One or the other.

nigel farage tweet: The Bank of England is replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our bank notes. This is the definition of woke.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

The techbro billionaire fascists forgot to buy up this one.

A handicap blue and white painted sign on the asphalt of a parking space. The symbols are meant to be a pregnant women and a baby stroller, but it doesn't look like that. It looks like pac man being killed with scissors next to a dancer

Wildflowers, a couple of springs ago, in the churchyard in Buckfastleigh, Devon. This is actually a very spooky spot in winter as it's the resting place of the allegedly Satanic Squire Richard Cabell - inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Baskerville legend - whose corpse is boxed in by a somewhat incongruous structure, a little pagoda-ish, but also not unlike the kind of public toilet you might find in a small British town, which sits on the south side of the church. Do NOT walk around it backwards as the Devil will bite your fingers and Cabell will release his hell hounds. Also, the church has been burned down by Satanists not once but TWICE in the last couple of centuries. (I wrote about all this in more detail in my book 21st-Century Yokel, and a couple of the scarier gravestones inspired bits in my novel Villager.

Wildflowers love dead people.

Monitor Documentary on Sir John Barbirolli HD 1080p YouTube video by Jonathan Jaggard

A fascinating documentary here about John Barbirolli from 1965, showing him conducting Berlioz, Bruckner and Tchaikovsky, playing the cello, cooking dinner with his wife Evelyn Rothwell, telling anecdotes, and doing a fearful amount of smoking. Excellent image quality too. youtu.be/laqDg0b_v0A?...

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

I like daylight savings time and I think we should keep it.

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Yep!

I submitted an ambient track that I LOVE (“An Ocean Of Candlelight” by Michael Whalen) to a MusicLeague and my Gen Z cousins accused me of submitting royalty-free generic stuff. I have to admit, it’s going to be tough to tell in 5-10 years. 😥

This. My TBR list is 500+ books long. I’m projected to finish reading everything by my 125th birthday. 😂

I am a man and I like classic fiction mostly. You can do a quick google to get titles and “best of” lists. (e.g. “best novels of the 1940s”, etc.

I tend to agree that most new books are meh and it takes a few decades to discover which novels actually have staying power.

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality & and soul.

@JoyceCarolOates X.com speaking as glibly as Beavis & Butthead. does T***p even grasp the profound significance of what he has set in motion in the Middle East? this person whose most essential self is riding in a golf cart fatly, cheating at the profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf when he assumes no one is looking.

if “for sale, baby shoes, never worn” are the saddest six words, then “riding in a golf cart fatly” is the opposite of that

Nice! I would become a kite flying nerd if that was my yard!

That looks like beautiful scenery though. 😀

Democrats would win a generational landslide victory running on this platform in ‘26 and ‘28 but Schumer and Jeffries will never support it, which is why they need to be ousted.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

It’s called a functioning spinal column. Thank you @scoutingamerica.bsky.social.
