Is there anywhere I can download the podcasts? I listen to podcasts in my car, via USB stick. (Old school).

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Upon Awakening to the Sounds of Distant Rumbles
 
He awakes from seasonal slumbers 
to distant rumbles. A storm approaching, perhaps, 
or the muffled guns from the ghost of a war
long since waged upon faded fields.
 
The dawn chorus wakens the dead and rattles 
the brain as the back street clatter recedes 
into murmured memory and the awful truth emerges. 
Bin day! The revised Christmas holiday collection schedule.
 
Thoughts fly unbidden to the rooms of recycling,
Pennines of packaging, glaciers of glass, 
corridors of cardboard and cartons, growing, 
overflowing, silently creeping up the staircase, 
across the landing, clawing at the bedroom door.

        The horror! The horror!
 
He lies there and tries to collect himself.

These are unsettling times.

Story from Joolz Denby over on Facebook. A bad day at TotP in 1985 with New Model Army, and Chris Rea suddenly appearing and being compassionate and gernerally decent.

@stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social was amazing last night at the Lowry in Manchester. A superb venue. Lots of fun with Blunders too, who was on top form.

Donald Trump's trade war mistakenly imposed a 10% tariff on goods from the uninhabited, glacier-covered Heard Island and McDonald Islands, one of the most remote territories on Earth.

Word Crunching


I 
wrote 
a poem 
on a page 
but then each line grew 
to the word sum of the previous two 
until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency 
because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency

Today’s poem celebrates Fibonacci Day. It’s called ‘Word Crunching’.
