That’s new for me - I’ll check it out!

I’m all for it - lots of examples through history of what happened to authoritarians when they decided they didn’t need to feed their military.

The jangly guitar on Vapour Trail and the fade-out make it worth it.

Have they tried the A34? There’s some suspiciously zoolike roadkill along there and I’m sure I saw a wallaby once.

I knew the algorithm was working when it put your post in my timeline!

A Russian puppet with more than the accepted number of necks and chins on a human makes a gesture that seems to acknowledge that he will soon be falling out of a window strapped to a chair.

You’re allowed as you know more than four adjectives.

I’m hoping this has some weight.

I think I’m going to block the word “whimsy” and its derivatives. It’s become yet another indicator of the collapse of people’s vocabularies - cf. YouTubers describing everything as “insane.”

That is a beautiful thing. But it’s making me twitchy that those Runciman books are shelved upside down.

Oh excellent. Jo will be especially pleased.

Can we have updates every seventeen pages?

It’s an absolutely incredible piece of art - every lyric, the sparse and detailed production, the instrumentation, the sleeve. Still gives me chills after all these years.

Thanks for the heads up!

It is sickening. Chasing after investment deludes them to think “but we’ll be different” Where do they think their users came from and why?

So you couldn’t resist the rot either. I’ll be with the rest of the users leaving when this comes in.

We’re thinking of you, keep us posted.

Too real.

FILITERM THE BUSTINATOR!

Is that how Eagle Transporters greet other spaceships when they are off down the park?

Oh look - they did that Instagram thing with the cushions back then too.

😂

I’m rereading Equal Rites, and so I am especially envious. Animal Crossing jigsaw was shovelled back into the box unfinished 😳

Oh that’s a beauty.

A car air freshener hanging on a windscreen. Improbably, it has Phil Mitchell’s face printed on it. What could it possibly smell like in there?

Currently nauseating myself trying to work out what smell this cursed car air freshener could possibly be infused with.

Screenie from South Park s1 with the Lovin’ You scene.

A sheet of A4 laser printed paper in a shop window - “Sorry. All out of Pokemon.”

Seen on my walk today.
