mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

The Wiki entry for Maitland's worth a read. The town dubbed itself "the home of the strippers" for a while, but not like that

(I only ever saw Half Man Half Biscuit there, so that might explain why it felt really weird to me)

Certainly convenient for the Westway...

That must have been the least 'by public demand' reopening of anything ever

Subterrania?

Harry Styles doing this year's Meltdown? I imagine the name has never been more apposite.

Big '4.45 on Sunday in the main Collectormania hall' energy here

Saw someone posting on Keane earlier, so here’s an old ‘energy’ tweet about the singer.

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

I dunno what prompted a clothing brand to launch a men’s sweater called the Rosa Parks with an advert featuring a man taking a seat, but we are where we are

YouTube video by Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum Jerry Kennedy: Guitarist for Roy Orbison & Elvis. Producer of The Statler Brothers & Roger Miller

RIP & thanks for all the music, Mr. Jerry Kennedy who passed away this week. He's the opening guitar you hear on Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the lead on Wynette's "Stand By Your Man," he's on Blonde on Blonde album, Tom T. Hall's producer. One of the greats, without a doubt. youtu.be/REOgLaIQD5U?...

Dr Hilary Cass told Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg "people at the extremes" had caused "quite a lot of distress for young people".

"Dr. Cass, wearing a hotdog suit, was a guest on the BBC One politics show"

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,

And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.

And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.

I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -

Crime.

Yes, I'd been worried I can't believe half of what Google returns these days, be helpful to know I should disregard it all

front page of the daily news with a photo of Jay underneath flags

my buddy Jay made the front page of the daily news for restoring the pride flag at stonewall. Jay is always on the front lines of protests and actions. He's a real one.

lol, lmao even

Somewhere in Berkshire, the words "by public demand" is being added to a reunion tour proposal document even as we speak

Saw this outside Sainsburys last night - looks like someone had the wheels come off their v-day before it even started

I see the problem now! It looks like you reached:

⛰️ Too high: Elevation can play a key role in success, so try to judge distances correctly.
🌉 Too far: Be realistic about your stamina. Set achievable goals—and take a break when you feel tired!
🕥 Too soon: Timing can make or break any project.

You're right! Brigadoon is a fictional place. I couldn't have possibly seen it. I apologise for the misnformation. I should have said that I had seen a rain dirty valley.

Omg you guys didn’t have to get me anything for a Valentine’s Day! but that’s so sweet, I love it 🥰

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

An email from the Guardian signed by Max Benwell promoting "AI for the People" which is apparently a newsletter course to turn "the daunting world of AI into one that works for you"

Bleeeeeeeeeugh

COLUMBO: I don't claim to understand all modernist poetry, but my wife, she's a big fan.

WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS: That's nice to hear.

COLUMBO: Just one more thing. About the plums that were eaten... we found a note. I have it right here in my pocket. Do you want me to read it to you?

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
