Today was the first year in a few years, I didn't participate in Record Store Day: I'm a huge Art Of Noise fan but not so much the Paul Morley-led iteration so getting up early to line up for a vinyl copy of Seduction Of Claude Debussy wasn't a strong enough draw for me. Also: skint.
Did any of my friends / followers manage to get a copy of Olive 'Extra Virgin' on vinyl for RSD? And if you have a spare copy please can you DM me it's in my fave albums of all time and of course it was UK exclusive :(
Frankly, after the week Bluesky has had, just hitting Post on something about ANYTHING and the post going through, I'm counting as a win. Just one more aspect of modern day life that feels like a house of cards right now - just what we need!
You left us a year ago, today - safe to say, this has been the longest twelve months of my life. We've decided that this will be the last time we honour this day, as we'd like to celebrate your life, not the date of your passing. Still, we raised a glass to you, dad, hope you don't mind.
If Washington DC is hit by an earthquake, the White House and the White House alone is sunk into a massive crater and Mar-A-Lago is beset by a plague of locusts today, I'm still going to be an Atheist, just to let you know. Might be a hint of a little wriggle room but, nope, sticking to it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Trump’s post in which he depicts himself as Jesus “blasphemy” and “an Antichrist spirit”
This is an actual line from an actual article in a nominal newspaper.
"Unlike Springsteen, a New Jersey native who makes every concert these days feel like a tedious political rally, the percussionist said he takes a different approach with his current group, The Wonderful Winos."
Me, yesterday: Thing is, even after pissing off all the veterans, the anti-foreign war, the economists, the tech-bros, farmers, anyone who eats stuff and anyone who owns a car, he's still got the fundamentalist Christians on his side.
Me, this morning: oooh, hold up one second
But you've got the poise so that's something.
By gum, it hasn't put Shelbyville on the map?
This is ALL Steve Bannon: Tear it all down, every system, ALL of it. He is as happy as a pig in shit right now.
The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.
Sports are for everyone — including trans youth.
No one knows the benefits of participating in sports better than Megan Rapinoe and other icons of women's sports. Add your name next to Megan’s and urge the Supreme Court to let kids play as their authentic selves: aclu.org/morethanagame-actionbsky
Good Old-Fashioned Leadership, 2026.
The current US Administration: classless, tactless, witless and a complete embarrassment.
Average White Band’s classic “Pick Up the Pieces” hits #1 today in 1975.
“.. The name of the band started out as an ‘in’ saying among us,” said bassist Alan Gorrie. “You know, we’d be listening to a track and say ‘not bad for an average white band.’ I guess it just stuck ..”
The Bond theme we never got in the '90s.
🇬🇧 📺 My word!

Personal mission for Summer 2026: take all of those popular movie clips that have been uploaded to YouTube a) in 4:3 but with wide-screen black bars, b) in 420p, c) with a Nokia flip phone pointed at a telly, d) miss the key line of the scene, and reupload them in HD. I may be some time.

The only person with a shittier sense of humour than JD Vance is Elon Musk. JD is *incredibly* glad that Elon is still floating around, like a turd that won't flush, so he can keep dropping clangers like this one and everyone goes, "Well, at least it's not Elon's attempt at a tight fifteen."
@leedsnewlocalpaper.bsky.social just seen your post on Reddit and I'm up for giving you a go - best of luck, team!
Kristi Noem is a fucking ghoul. Her Nuremberg cannot get here soon enough.
“On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged ‘ResistDance’ — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial… The Kennedy Center performance was shut down within seconds by more officers than dancers (23 vs. 22)…”

Wow.
The 1 Republican in Congress actually taking the Epstein Files seriously just tweeted to make sure ppl knew he was not suicidal, is in good health and does not plan on going anywhere.
It’s that serious. Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring implicates (present tense) the most powerful men on Earth.
