Wondering which of my friends put together a playlist called '2007: a year in music', featuring Vampire Weekend, Petra Haden, Jonathan Richmond and June Tabor, among others. Was it @yoz.bsky.social ?

I just accidentally shuffled from 'Has anybody seen my dog?' from Sesame Street Fever www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtO_... (the 1978 disco album with Robin Gibb and the cast of Sesame Street) to 'Dog in the Piano (dirty edit)' by Indian Ropeman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaQm... WHAT. A. MIX.

I was very disappointed, when being sworn in as an executor, that the solicitor had neither a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh nor The House at Pooh Corner to hand.

Looks like it's back now - my search for exactly the right vintage donkey is much easier! Thanks for your help @textfiles.com @flickrfdn.bsky.social

Yep - I assume because of the large text extracts in the description giving a lot of false positives? It would be good to know if it's going to be preserved anywhere else, it's a unique resource.

Hi @textfiles.com - would love to know what's going on with that flickr account. Know it's not the first time it's been turned off. (And already asked @ukglo.bsky.social if she knows anything!)

Hey @archive.org - is your book illustration scans account permanently gone from Flickr? (makes the sad face of an artist in the middle of a project using the images)

It looks like the Internet Archive Book Images have all been removed from public view on Flickr. So sad - it was an extraordinary resource of free imagery. www.flickr.com/photos/inter...

Watching a rerun of Kate Bush at the BBC, and noticed that in the Wogan β€˜Experiment IV’ performance, there’s a BBC B and Cub monitor on the desk. Satisfying.

With my β€˜I spend a lot of time looking at representing bodies’ life drawing hat on: This is fascinating. It’s visually correct - it feels like watching gymnastics on TV, but it’s conceptually and structurally very wrong. You need both observation (seeing) and construction (knowing) working together.

I’m just converting mine to markdown using these instructions matthiasott.com/notes/conver... - you could perhaps then use a markdown to indesign or pdf script? It’s all a bit command line though.
