Good morning with trees.

More Democrats have to take their gloves off.

Jetzt will ich auch unbedingt damit fahren.

It's an idiosyncratic list. Nicely done.

To see or not to see? Every single Shakespeare play – ranked! Antony and Cleopatra? Exhausting. Lear? Magnificent but flawed. Hamlet? Limitless. For Shakespeare’s birthday, the Guardian’s former theatre critic ranks all the plays

Every Shakespeare play ranked. What's your favourite?

Ray was a genius, his works must remain unsullied by modern tech.

From one shire to the next 😊

I've spent the best of a year around Shropshire and fell in love.

Southwest Germany. Lots of vineyards.

Here as well but nothing beats The Shire. Tolkien knew as well.

I think all the time about Jack Kerouac heckling Frank O’Hara that he was ruining American poetry & O’Hara responding without a beat, “That’s more than you ever did for it”

Fühlt sich unreal an.

Loving your pictures of The Shire.

Awesome.

Purchase info at end for book. Image: Poem against backdrop of a stand of long leaf pines, with a man walking thru the forest, dwarfed by the trees. Text: Letter to the Person Who Carved His Initials into the Oldest Living Longleaf Pine by Matthew Olzmann -Southern Pines, NC Tell me what it's like to live without curiosity, without awe. To sail on clear water, rolling your eyes at the kelp reefs swaying beneath you, ignoring the flicker of mermaid scales in the mist, looking at the world and feeling only boredom. To stand on the precipice of some wild valley, the eagles circling, a herd of caribou booming below, and to yawn with indifference. To discover something primordial and holy. To have the smell of the earth welcome you to everywhere. To take it all in, and then, to reach for your knife.

This is a major European victory over Putin and Trump. Let us celebrate.
We are 600 million in Europe. Russia and the US put together not even 500 million.

Wow, das ist ja schön.

True that.

Oh yes. We have a strict policy.

Ah, the timeless wisdom of Polonius.

Sledgehammer was released 40 years ago today!

I'm not your lover, I'm not your friend. I am something that you'll never comprehend.

Big bright orange lettering in a vaguely graffiti/marker style with big black drop shadow reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’. At the bottom in front of the lettering is a small cartoon turtle with a little hourglass on its back.

That Strokes track from the video is fantastic. What's it called again?
