So many of these songs are buried in my subconscious and bubble up at odd moments. I was 7 in 1976. #totp

Classic #totp performance here. Deeply peculiar song, but you hardly notice.

He loves torch songs. Recorded a version solo, which Pitney heard and offered to do new vocals to turn it into a duet.

No employer in the public or private sector should be encouraging AI use for ordinary tasks. The normalisation effect is powerful.

Very sad. Never saw her give a bad performance, and always distinctive. Always funny.

I used to run the magazine twitter account, and were I there now I would be advocating strongly to close it. To my utter unsurprise, It's still there.

I'm not sure Sue Ellen would like the scrutiny. Jenrick shouldn't, but he has form.

She's very capable of that. Travis Bickle vibes.
