When you see a cat at a train station it's hard not to assume they have some sort of responsibility.

Yep - me too. I can definitely empathise with Lucy!

Latest Substack -- David Lynch, LA wildfires, stepping out of comfort zones, and how it's been 10 years since Sufjan Stevens released the lovely 'Carrie & Lowell', which somehow helped me through my mum's death. rebahardy.substack.com/p/a-warm-bat...

I'm glad that you're here too! I don't spend much time on it, tbh, and can't quite ditch the Twitter habit, but it seems a nicer space.

So sad to see #DavidLynch disappear from this world. I was lucky emoigh to interview him around 10 years ago and he was a true gent - charmng, courteous and respectful. We spoke about transcendental meditation, which we both practised, and he was lovely. RIP David Lynch.

We Can Choose the Ending to This Disaster Movie The Los Angeles fires are either a wake-up call or a funeral pyre. It’s our decision.

'Not only is there a lack of climate-specific films and TV shows, but the backdrops of most of the Hollywood-created worlds on our screens lack any evidence of the climate crisis.'

As wildfires devastate LA, Republicans point fingers at Democratic California leaders Trump and Maga allies are using the fires to attack leaders like Newsom – possibly foretelling power struggles ahead

'The attacks have used disinformation, wild claims, conspiracy theories and extremist culture war tropes. But absent from their critique has been any acknowledgement that climate change has played any role... despite a consensus among experts.'

Beck - Debra (Live on 2 Meter Sessions) YouTube video by 2metersessions

25 years since ' Midnite Vultures' was released. I remember how this album blew me away, especially after the equally brilliant but far more introspective 'Mutations'. Th'at's what I loved about Beck - always genre-hopping, always suprrising.
