I haven’t seen it since VHS, will have a read.

IF A MONKEY randomly hitting keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare, then it stands to reason that Shakespeare randomly twanging strings on a guitar for an infinite amount of time would have eventually written the complete works of The Monkees. Is there no end to that man's talents? Robobonobo, Melbourne

Today is Epiphany, when Western Christianity celebrates the three kings' visit to the infant Christ. Peter Bruegel the Elder's 'Adoration of the Kings' [National Gallery] is one of my favourite imaginings of that moment. It's also full of mystery.
Quick Epiphany 🧵
