And it's magnificent

Much happening with you today @u2songs.bsky.social ? Quiet Wednesday?

Absolutely love my U2 timeline today which is basically people saying 'wait, what?'

Ooooh

One drove past four of us the other day. We were all buried in our phones - the stop is near a corner and we didnt see him till he was upon us. I rather admired his pettiness.

Radiators buckle under the weight of drying shoes. Small children evolve with gills. Mushrooms everywhere

Ireland, Day 1056 of The Rain. Everything is saturated to the grey of the sky. Moss covers every surface. The outdoors sounds like constant static. The entire staff of Met Éireann is on mental health leave. I’ve forgotten what dry clothes feel like.

😁. It's a fantastic book, but the pleasure of some great pop culture writing about Friends was a nice bonus. The book I tagged was an interesting read

This by @jonathancoe.bsky.social was one of the reasons for the Friendsathon. Great book

Also read some books about 90s pop culture...

So in 2025 I decided to re-watch Friends from the beginning. It leaves @netflix.com at midnight ... nearly there

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
