Also, “may or may not” is covering the bases somewhat, innit, e.g. I may or may not have a villa on the French Riviera

Thanks to @vennart666.bsky.social for introducing me to the unique moves of Luigi Primo, the pizza throwing wrestler

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

We put this together and recorded some mildly entertaining / informative links

and then we play Portsmouth Monday, London Wednesday, Manchester Thursday, Glasgow Friday, don't you know

Incredible work, still sounds amazing

Lots of notes

Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

Blizzard like

I’m in the middle of a week of Cardiacs rehearsals and spending all day every day in a loud, dark room, and so I haven’t had even one moment to look at the news but I’m assuming everything is alright

I was thinking this

I wish Richard Jobson would stop lurching about to the beat of a different song #totp

The similarity of the name of this product to “ear’ole” is most pleasing

Mongoose? Mangroves? Mingers?

How rude.

Hahahah

It scans perfectly, problem is that it doesnt make any sense

Gaviscon missed a trick too

We’ve been waiting for you

“Ibuleve in life after love” - works for me, I wonder if they’ve ever tried to get Cher to do an advert

So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

Wouldn’t dare watch 😬

I do not use or endorse this piece of music software but the phrase “what you’ll love about tight arse” has been haunting me for three days now

Matt Goodwin there, Reform candidate who evidently forgot to “tell” enough people to vote Reform

My wife just pointed out that the Teach Yourself series of books come across very differently if you read the titles as a witheringly dismissive “Teach YourSELF Snooker!”, i.e. “because I’m not going to bloody do it”

I did a big project on TMR at university and learned / transcribed both guitar parts. A few years ago I relearned both of them and stuck it on YouTube in the hope of impressing The Kids (failed)

I wasn’t put off!!

Apparently (I've just been told this) they're called Chat Pile

Cardiacs will be playing Arctangent in August, which gives me great pleasure, not least because I can say I was on a bill with Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs, Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii and Pleb

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General.

Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.
