@TheRickWilson Howard’s the only one with no “a” on his face. I guess he’s not worth the copyright.

Huh.

@DoctorLemma There is a very good article about the whole affair in the Financial Times (probably already referenced somewhere else in these 781 replies). ft.com/content/363966…

15 years ago in Coventry, England, a 45-year-old bank worker named Mary Bale became the target of one of the first massive internet manhunts. On a quiet evening in August 2010, she was captured on CCTV stopping to stroke a friendly tabby cat named Lola. After checking that the coast was clear, she inexplicably picked the cat up by the scruff of the neck and dropped her into a wheelie bin before closing the lid and walking away. Mary was fined £250, plus costs, and banned from keeping animals for five years.

@impkerr I will miss you.

@WOOSTERCOLLECTV Please advise Zazzle that the registration is WAY off on the black t-shirts. Glad I only paid 14 bucks.

In the Time Machine and back to early 1981… Who are you going to see at Rock City, Nottingham? (From Sounds Magazine via Generation X Facebook page) The Gen X gig was cancelled so I’ll go for The Stranglers

@pleasures_now Any chance you have a Large size of FACIAL THERMAL LONG SLEEVE left over? I couldn’t afford one previously but I have the money now. Have my eye on that STICKER T-SHIRT as well.

Really great, expansive obit for someone whom I was privileged to know. He was a friend, but it seems he was everyone's friend. The world is poorer for his passing. Barry Janyk, who served four terms as Mayor of Gibsons, dies coastreporter.net/local-news/bar… via @coast_reporter

I am bailing on this shithole site. Follow me on Bluesky at andyjukes (all one word).

there's something about Michael Kiwanuka that sounds to me both retro and modern at the same time music.apple.com/ca/album/you-a…

“Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.” [Hemingway] I dunno, just seems timely.

I forgot what a numbers beast John King is. He must spend the four years between elections memorizing this shit.

Why are they voting in a laundromat?

Oh here we go with fucking Dixville Notch.

The Great Black Plastic Purge of 2024.

I've been feeding peanuts to the neighborhood crows. which is fun, but it's gotten out of hand. I just went outside and there were about 40 birds waiting for me.

Finally beat today's @NYTGames Spelling Bee, but only by ultimately and desperately combining random letters into things that sounded like words.
