My theory of good Led Zeppelin covers is you need to start with a singer who fucks.

Sure the guy from Greta Van Fleet sounds like Robert Plant on the surface, but Tina Turner and Ann Wilson (who has some great Zeppelin covers) understand that "down to fuck" is a core element.

ROSALÍA - Berghain (Live at The BRIT Awards 2026) ft. Björk YouTube video by RosaliaVEVO

I accepted a decade or so ago that The Brits is really not for me, and I only knew about 10% of the acts nominated this year, but I sought out the Rosalia performance – because Björk – and fuck me, this has made my weekend.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

TEXT: I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

TEXT: I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.

It's quite good! I loved the books and appreciate how it was adapted to the screen. Worth a watch for good fantasy.

Tasha Yar, Chakotay, Kes, Neelix

she said it was 5000 years of Chinese history reborn, but turns out it was just some ballet show, or opera junk, stuff like that, and then Julian told me they were occult, which means they take your fuckin organs out of you when you sleep. and I like sleeping a whole lot, so

Was feeling glum. Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings came on the playlist and my mood immediately turned around. #sharonjones #dapkings #music

Born to draw Batman, Iowa City kid Norm Breyfogle sketched his way into pop culture history - Little Village From the shadows, Iowa City has played a quiet role in the mythology of the Batman, all thanks to the co-creations of Norm Breyfogle. When we saw Ratcatcher save the […]

A wonderful profile of the late, great Norm Breyfogle by @leekeeler.bsky.social - an artist who deserves more acclaim and remains underrated. But he's definitely on my Batman artistic Mount Rushmore. littlevillagemag.com/peak-iowa-no...

She's phenomenal 😊

There's a big discussion on Threads about Stranger Things and Will's coming out scene. Reactions run a wide gamut, with a lot of people not understanding the context of the times, and I realized I am uniquely positioned to talk about this. 🧵

Thank you ❤️
