Jeez, the 'marketplace of ideas' people get really tetchy when the marketplace tells them to shove their ideas up their hoop, don't they?

You don't get many songs about geographical features on Mars. Trust Black Francis to fill that void with blissful organs, driving bass and a soaring melody. As breathtaking as a murmuration.

Painted in 1926 at the height of his career, William Nicholson's picture depicts Margaret (on the right) and Diana Low. Despite knowing them well, he later had a short affair with Diana, Nicholson uses the composition to portray individuality and the sibling unity between them.

The right decision. 👍

Wreck Stow.

Sign: 'free roaming chickens. Please keep dogs on lead.' pictures of cockerels.

If I'd needed any roaming chickens I'd have been tempted by this no cost offer.

Just a little note because it's been driving me nuts watching these words blend:
- wary means apprehensive.
- weary means tired.
"I am wary of snake oil salesmen."

"I have labored too long and now I am weary."

These are different words! Please use them accordingly!

A narrow wooden door of a bar/restaurant in an ancient stone and stucco building. The door is surrounded by potted green plants. Above the door is a sign reading Trattoria Festival.

And in honor of the aforementioned Spoleto Festival USA, a #PubfrontFriday from the motherland, Spoleto, Italy.

I confiscated this phone at the start of the Friday.

Compliant student- handed it over, no issues, I said I would return at the end of the day.

Do you know how many times it pinged/vibrated in my office?

Over 78 times.

Please don't tell me they are not a distraction.

It's really rude when something you put off for 6 months only takes 10 minutes.
The absolute audacity.

The Taskmaster.

Not the angriest contestant on Taskmaster. That may have been @herring1967.bsky.social teammate. Probably.

As I end my time telling the world about Tina I wanted to run another competition. A money can’t buy prize…

11 years of Divide and Exit — full of fuckin’ bangers. For this vid, we went to the off licence, picked up four pint cans of Tyskie and jumped on the bus to Arnold. We got pissed at the back of the bus and went through the song about five times. The 2nd wave of post-punk followed.

Mixed drawing/painting of a barefoot woman with cropped hair in a long green dress swirling a multicolour ribbon around her that bursts into a swarm of bees. Behind her is a honeycomb pattern and the name of the single and singer. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Irish #Music #Art #BlueskyArt #ArtSky

Happy #BeeDay - here's a cover design I did for @emmalangfordmusic.bsky.social a few years ago, featuring some native Irish bees with Gobnait, the patron saint of beekeepers 🐝

Just been listening to Burma Shave and this popped up on my feed. 🤯
