Esther continually deadnamed Brianna during the call and honestly if you didn't already know what happened, you would have assumed suicide. There was no focus on external dangers or how we could combat them. The focus was purely about the dangers of how 'obsessed with social media' she was.

I wish Apple would hurry up and release a new Apple TV box. Need to replace my Nvidia Shield TV but it's been over 3 years since the last one so there's probably one on the way sometime in the future.

Coming to the end of my hols. I always like to leave a bit of art on the beach as a farewell gift. I'm like a sort of sand Banksy, if you will?
This was the finished work at 3pm, and what it looked like later at around 8pm. I think I prefer the second version.

Right. Just ripped something and yes it's in the libary but keeps the libary separate from the music available on streaming which is good :)

Though I've not ripped any music in iTunes so they might appear in Libary but not when you limit search to Apple Music.

Apple Music doesn't access rips and when searching you select either Apple Music or your Library (iTunes purchases).

and it doesn't show my music from ripped CDs either

Looking at Apple Music, it does keep my purchased music separate from the streaming stuff.

Still buying CDs too as my Arcam Alpha 7SE still sounds superb.

It's best on surround speakers but there ways of listening via headphones. I pay for Apple Music which supports it over headphones on my phone, iPad and PC .

Here’s your first chance to listen to a song from #TheHighLife: The Musical, with Air Stewards Steve and Sebastian reunited in the sound booth and hitting those high notes🎢

Though somehow, I've ended up with 3 vinyl copies of Divine Comedy's latest album as I bought a bundle which has 2 versions in it and my wife bought one of them separately as well from Rough Trade so she could get a ticket to the acoustic set at their Liverpool store last weekend.

Started buying more vinyl records recently after a couple of decades of not doing so but am limiting myself as blu-rays with Dolby Atmos mixes of albums that I love keep getting released too!

Sounds right for us too - I would have been 7 and Stewart would have been 5. No idea if my 4 year old brother Gordon went though. Think we had a magician or a even a clown magician.

Back in 2006, I pitched a daft Doctor Who strip to Doctor Who Adventures, "At Home With..." the alien of the editor's choice, and Nick Miller came up with these two samples. It didn't fly, but I thought I'd share them... this is "At Home With The Daleks", who are cooking

@themountaingoats.bsky.social have a great song about this band called "Abandoned Flesh" on their 2017 album Goths.

The two main guys are related
They're at war with each other
Now there's two Genes loving Jezebel
One for each brother

I’ll spare you the task of reading the Wikipedia page about the Welsh goth band Gene Loves Jezebel, but suffice to say that this is a potted summary of what eventually happens when twin brothers fall out with each other. Tragic, really

Eight years ago today, 25 Sept 2017, the first #WhenIsBirths card was uploaded to what was then Twitter. More recently, in 2023, I gave it an upgrade with extra names. I do exclusive commissions! Contact me! Christmas, birthdays etc. Email me (see bio).
