Re-listening to Daft Punk, transported back to being 16 years old listening to Discovery on a portable CD player on the number 9 to Stourbridge, thinking 'this isn't rock and roll'

Also I'm screenshotted! <3
The person who built the Living Museum (the BM chatbot) has reflected on the feedback (h/t Ash Mann).
I get the argument that it gives audiences more agency and it was just a proof-of-concept, but it's the job of curators/educators to also respect the material.

There is a LITERAL UBOAT in BIRKENHEAD that's reopening this year.
National Galleries Scotland just go straight for the jugular, like Braveheart whipping his sword from behind his back. Here's the sign-up. Do it or don't do it. Who gives a fuck.

They do follow up with another para but I like this way of phrasing it: "As a charity, we may also send occasional requests for your support."

The RA is predictably good: "Be among the first to hear about our upcoming ticket releases as well as the latest exhibition tours, interviews and more to enjoy from home."

Interrogating it, I think it's the fact he and Sabbath were kids from Aston that made it, and were visible and respected. When you think about Brum and the Black Country there's very few out there like that.
